Lackawanna Blues (2005)
Amazing Story
This was absolutely one of the best movies I've seen.
Excellent performances from a marvelous A-List cast that will move you from smiles to laughter to tears and back.
I couldn't help but care about the characters. Ms. Merkerson will blow you away, as will the young man playing the young lead.
I also thought that the set design was top-rate. The viewer is really placed inside each era as it's presented.
The music is a blast, too. Nice selections to represent mood, time and place. The blind blues man is stereotypic but he delivers some great songs.
This is a great story that will survive many repeated viewings. Take the time to watch it!
A Shot at Glory (2000)
Duvall is awesome.
Robert Duvall really shows his versatility with his ability to wrap his tongue around the scottish brogue. When I first heard him speak, it caused me to do a double take. That couldn't be the same guy that was in Tender Mercies and Stalin, could it? I enjoyed this movie quite a bit, but in the end it was a bit predictable. But who cares? These kinds of movies are formulaic. But if you just want to be entertained, give this a shot. Soccer fans unite!
