Seabiscuit (2003)
A memorable film - well worth the price of admission and then some!
Seabiscuit is a high-quality film which tells its story with depth and detail. It presents the facts of a true phenomenon that took place in the 1930's and gives the audience credit for its own intelligence in interpreting the story. It takes the time to "get it right" and builds us to some absolutely thrilling race scenes! It is heart-warming but not at all "smarmy". The cast is superb! Each of the actors in the portrayal of the main characters had me absolutely convinced of their personas in spite of the fact that they are all major "movie stars". The opening week-end audience that I was a part of consisted of about every age and demographic there is and all of us were pretty riveted to the screen. The clincher of course - which almost never happens in movies today - the audience applauded at the end of the movie! And - I rarely comment online on a movie but this one was way too good!!
Ticker (2001)
Decent entertainment
After reading the other reviews I was prepared to be disappointed - I'm a fan of Stevan Seagal and have seen all his movies. "Ticker" was NOT a disappointment but an entertaining movie. The talent is pleasing to watch - Seagal's acting improves all the time - Sizemore is always good and Dennis Hopper is - well Dennis Hopper. I think he needs a little more work on the accent. I was caught up in the story and think its worth a look. Would liked to have seen a little more martial arts - but hey - all in all I've seen much worse. I liked it!
