Mickey (2004)
Great Baseball Movie
I have read a few reviews, written by IMDb members, regarding this movie and some weren't positive. I believe this to be a wonderful movie with a great cast, a superb script, great camera work, and nice directing. I love a good baseball movie and the Little League World Series is a fascinating time of the year. I can remember my own days and my former dreams of Little League stardom. Harry Connick Jr does a wonderful job as the father. Even with all the shortcomings of the father, the audience member defiently knows that he loves his son. I could have done without the little love story sewn very obviously into the middle of the movie. Overall, I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves sports. I think this also qualifies as a family movie with a good moral message. Check it out!!!
Ray (2004)
Great Movie, Fascinating Life
First, this movie has many positive points. Jamie Foxx does an absolutely stellar job portraying Ray Charles Robinson. As I watched this movie, I found myself wondering if Jamie Foxx really WAS Ray. If Jamie doesn't win the Oscar for his portrayal, then the Oscars are truly fixed and bias. The life of Ray Charles Robinson is a rocky one, full of peaks and valleys. This movie does a lot to capture many different emotions. I like the way the movie presents the story, and doesn't try to make you fall in love with Ray. Ray did some bad things in his life and this movie did not attempt to sugarcoat them. The movie tells the story and allows the viewer to decide whether they will embrace the fledgling musical mastermind, or simply toss him aside. There were only a couple of things that I didn't like about this movie. I did not like how the youth of Ray Charles Robinson was portrayed. Flashback sequences seem to break the rhythm of the movie and seemed over-dramatic and out of place. Other than that, I think this movie could give "The Aviator" a run in the Oscar race. Jamie Foxx gave a performance worthy of an Oscar and the lenghty movie will defiently hold your interest. Check it out!
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
What are you going to do today Napoleon?
Whatever I feel like, GOSH! This movie is hilarious and I recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh. We constantly quote the movie and I have made everyone I know watch it! Let me get some of your tots!!
This movie chronicles the life of Napoleon Dynamite as he flounders through his days at a public high school. Different people enter the movie and the dialogue is terrific. Any fan of a dialogue based comedy will love this movie. This movie really has no point but acting is great and the overall feel of the movie is fresh. I personally look forward to more great comedy from the directors.
Of course this movie is a comedy but they tackle some hefty issues with the use of laughter. School bullying, self esteem, interracial couples, and many other touchy subjects make their way into this quiet Idaho farmtown.
Napoleon, you are just jealous because I was at home all day chatting with babes!
