    Freedom's Fury  (2007)

    Freedom's Fury now available on DVD.  Thanks to our friends at Film Baby and Colin and Megan the master minds behind this great Documentary you can now own a copy.  Since spout.com is not able to sell you this dvd yet I will tell you where to go to get it.  http://www.filmbaby.com/films/2438, go there order the dvd if you are as lucky as me you will get the two you ordered (one for you and one to give to a friend) AND a bag of microwavable popcorn.  Film Baby, well done, you exceeded my expectations.  Go buy it, come back to spout.com and write a review and tell us and the film makers what you thought.

    Die Hard  (1988)

    Swordfish  (2001)

    The Departed  (2006)

    Perfect Stranger  (2007)

    Its been a long time since I have seen a blockbuster action flick end with a strong punch.  Perfect Stranger is not a punch like The Departed but you are in for a surprise.  It was a well done entertaining film in my eyes. Some may say I am bias but who doenst love all three Die Hards and cant wait for Die Hard 4.  And what about Swordfish? Put those together and you have a nice murlder love story with Bruce and Halle.

    Coach Carter  (2005)

    Pride  (2007)

    Terrence Howard plays  Jim Ellis in this based on a true story film about an abandoned recreational pool in Philadelphia's ghetto.  Jim was one of I am sure very very few African American swimmers in the 70's who was often times not allowed to swim.  Struggling to find a job, the City hires him to clean up an old building before it is going to be tore down.  After some hard work he fixes up the swimming pool and invites some of the neighbor boys who had played basketball outside everyday inside to swim and cool off.  After a lot of training they form a team and begin to compete with other schools.  It is a great feel good movie, if you liked Remember the Titans and Coach Carter you will like this.  Another great story, just with a different sport.

  • My favorite film at Sundance 2006

    Alpha Dog  (2007)

    I was only able to see 8-10 films while at sundance '06. Those films I saw did not include Alpha Dog which I am glad I did not stand and wait for in the 10 degree weather. From what I was able to see, Come Early Morning was by far my favorite. I was at the first screening as it was premiered and to hear Joey Lauren Adams introduce it was amazing.   I left Sundance wanting to see it again and told so many people about it.  When I saw spout.com let me pre order it, I signed up! Two weeks ago it should up in the mail as it was just released. 

    Ashley Judd does a great job I think as Lucy a single hard working female who enjoys drinking and making poor choices who early the next morning regrets them. (thus the name)  You can see this as she throws something away every morning.  Lucy's relationships are not the best with her father and grandparents and and it seems she holds many of them responsible for things that have happened to her.  The film is slow at times, but I think Adams does a great job in this film and really makes you think about relationships you have or have had with both family and friends.

    Breach  (2007)

    The film is slow at times and seems to not give you all the detail you may want.  As you watch it and remember that it is based on a true story it makes you think.  How easy would it be to do this, and is this still happening in the FBI today?  I knew next to nothing on this case and felt I should have heard more.  It was interesting for me to go home and find a number of articles written in 2001 on this story of Robert Hanssen and how he was given such power to find the traitor with in the Bureau who was himself.

     Now sure I will buy this film but I would watch it again.
