Miracle (2004)
Great depiction of what happens when you believe in yourself.
Here in Edmonton, The Heartland of Hockey, and being a hockey fan, I obviously was not going to miss this one. Knowing minimal background about the Miracle on Ice, I felt that this is one movie I could not miss. Afterall, I was born in 1980! It was neat to hear the names of a number of players who I recognized on the US, Russian and Swedish teams. Broten, Ramsey, Tretiak, Mikhailov, Kasatonov, as well as Brooks, Tikanov and Patrick the coaches. From what I have seen of Brooks when he was a coach with the Pens, I felt at times I was really seeing him in the way that Russell played him. That was a real credit to Russell in the fact that he truely grasped the role and did it to pretty much perfection. The movie reflects on hockey players at that age too! Young, cocky, and with everything ahead of them, these young guys showed it in their acting.
The movie itself was a very inspirational movie to see. The unbeatable Soviets were beaten by a group of young college guys back in the 1980 and what it shows is the underlying lesson that you should never give up, and that when you believe in yourself and those around you anything can happen. And it did. The camera work at times made you feel like you were a part of the game, some people in the theater REALLY got into it! There literally was an older man (In his 60's I think) cheering and yelling at the screen during the tense final game. While it was a little odd to have that occur, that is a credit to the filmakers in bring the realism to the movie.
I would have to say that was one of the better hockey movies, and obviously the best Disney hockey movie. Give it 4.5 outta 5
Spider-Man (2002)
Just truly AWESOME!
Well the whole experience of Spiderman was just awesome. The experience began Friday night in this small town where the 175 seat theater was sold out before I even got in line for the 9:00 show. Then the line was equally long Saturday night 1 hour before the doors opened for the late show again, however I had advanced tickets. It was an amazing sight!
The movie was great!! I loved every second. Tobey did a great job as Spiderman and Dafoe was the perfect choice for the crazy Green Goblin. That laugh was simply hilarious to hear! The effects were as expected, some of the best!
And naturally the one I just could not wait to see was Kirsten Dunst, who is really showing she is already a great actress. Kirsten did an amazing job in it as she always does, and she looked hot as always too!!
I recommend this movie to anyone who is in for top notch thrill ride!
Paranoid (2000)
The Box Art Cost More To Make
I am in Blockbuster the other day looking for a good slasher flick to watch and saw this one with cool looking video. So I checked out the back and a story about the teens of Sugar Hill High really interested me, as I was interested in seeing another high school one. Small spoilers follow, but nothing that'll give it away.
The opening in the gym looked extremely promising and I was just getting ready to watch when only 5 minutes in they go to the abandoned house and it went downhill from there. The dialogue reeked, the acting sucked, the camera work stunk and even at times appeared like a cheap porn, and there was now real clear story to it. You knew from the start who did it, but they continued to try to screw with our heads even after the killer was dead.
I wouldn't even recommend watching this movie, as I have seen better done by a high school class.
