    We watched the movie yesterday at the Palladium and it's pretty damn good. The reviews haven't been great, but it's a nicely done sports movie. It actually goes down in my top five sports movies of all-time.

    I might be a little biased because I've always been fascinated by the Marshall tragedy and I've read about it over the last couple years, but they did a good job of keeping true to the storyline and not going overboard.

    I can't believe it took 35+ years to finally tell the story. If you like sports movies, it's a must see

    MM from Uvalde is actually a pretty darn good actor.

    Loved him in in the Grisham movie.

    I was surprised what a good job they did keep true to the storyline and not Hollywood-ing it. I didn't cry but I can see why I lot of people would.

    Even if you don't like sports movies, you should see it. It is interesting how different people handled the tragedy so differently. I am not a Matt M. fan, but he did a good job. I also thought Matthew Fox did a great job as Dawson and David Strathairn, the guy who played Dr. Dedmon too.

    I saw Dream Girls there and really liked it. I didn't get to see all the theater has to offer but I noticed it has a coffee stand, restaurant, and bar area as well.

    What I liked best was all the leg room between the aisles. The seats were comfty too.

    Our Boy from Uvalde is a crappy actor with a crappy voice.

    The only reason to watch the movie Sahara, on mute, is Penelope Cruz.

    I saw it as a Sneak and was touched by the movie. I also liked the pictures of the real people during the credits. Be sure to stay and see that part.

    Definitely on my to see list. But I think I will be checking out that film about that African serial killer first.


    Great Film...(I cried)...

    Invincible was great. I especially enjoyed the reenactments of the games from 1976. The uniforms, the players, the coaches, the fans; it all looked authentic. It would be cool if a rich San Antonion could make a film about the Spurs doing the same sort of thing.

    MM is actually a funny, approachable guy according to the folks I know who met him here. Doesn't have much range as an actor, but it doesn't really look like he needs it.
