Fantastic Movie

I have seen horse racing movies before but this was probably the best one I have seen yet. It is nice to go to a movie that is well written and superbly acted without relying upon special effects or cgi enhancement. The movie is more than anything a character sketch about not giving up even when the odds are against you and the rest of the world is telling you to give up on your dream. Diane Lane is great in the movie and John Malkovich is fantastic. It was also nice to see a quality movie that is not laced with violence, profanity, and sex. I would recommend this movie to anyone regardless of your movie watching habits.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Film

My wife and I loved this movie. I did not go into it with really high expectations because I had been reading the reviews and they were mixed. However, this is an outstanding movie on many levels. First, the acting is very good in it and the plot is very interesting. Secondly, the action sequences are very well done and, many times, will have you on the edge of your seat. Thirdly, the scenery is pretty amazing and the cinematography is awesome as well. You will see a little flavor here and there during the movie that is reminiscent of Moulin Rouge. Also, the music is A+ for this movie and very well placed. We will definitely purchase this movie when it comes out on dvd.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Dark Knight Shines

Bop! Boom! Bang! Holy Schnikeys Batman! This movie is action packed from start to finish.
Hype or no hype, Heath ledger stole the show as the Joker. Not to say that the other actors did not do a good job, because they did a great job. Christian Bale was as expected, and Morgan Freeman was entertaining. I could have done without Maggie Gyllenhall but Katie Holmes wasn't any better in Batman Begins. This is basically a movie that most people should see in the theater. However, it's probably a little dark for kids. I would watch this movie again just to enjoy Heath's performance a second time. Also, there was a preview at the beginning for a new Terminator movie starring Christian Bale - now that's what I'm talking about!
