Saw three great movies this weekend

'Good Night and Good Luck' - 2005, George Clooney

 

Great black and white movie that deeply resonates with the political and social climate of today. There is a great debate about the role of the movie and entertainment industry today. Is corporate sponsership and ownership create a fear of reporting the truth? And what is the responsibility of those reporting it have in the truth? And in turn, here is George Clooney who is making the kind of film people can really respond to and react too. The public is not fat, lazy and indolent (okay, some are), but there are many of us who view this country as our country and take active part in active debate about its future.

 

Good Qoutes from the movie:

We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
Edward R. Murrow

We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.
Edward R. Murrow

 

'MurderBall'  2005

 

A documentry on wheelchair rugby. Intense, intense documentry. Almost made me I was a quadriplegic...not really. They not only go into the game, but they also explore life out side this game and how the game has given them meaning, sometimes too much.

 

'Walk The Line' 2005 - James Mangold

 

After they won 3 golden globes, I had to see what all the hype was about. Amazing, emotional and powerful story of Johnny Cash and a period of American Rock and Roll.It's also a great love story that resonates with any man who has chased after a girl. I have more to say, but back to work.
