Journeys in the form of words
"See what no one else sees. See what everyone chooses not to see... out of fear, conformity or laziness. See the whole world anew each day!"- Arthur Mendelson (Patch Adams) Every time I watch the movie Patch Adams it makes me sad that Robin Williams is no longer with us. That man was a gift …
"A moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory."- Pete Zamperini (Unbroken) I saw the movie before I read the book. I am not going to say that was a mistake, but if you don't know the full extent of the story, it makes it more difficult to appreciate the deeper significance of the …
"There is no such thing as a sure thing. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what you think."- Ali (Draft Day) This was another movie that caught me by surprise. I love football, I love movies about football, and I love Kevin Costner. Draft Day was not quite what …
"A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart."- Zeus (Hercules) Inspiration can come from anywhere. Whether it is the most unlikely of places, or maybe even an odd place. I have always been a fan of Disney and what I believe was always the true …
"I don't know how I'm going to live with myself if I don't stay true to what I believe."- Desmond Doss (Hacksaw Ridge) The inspiration of today will come with a word of caution. This movie is not for the squeamish or faint of heart. Hacksaw Ridge is a movie that is based on a …
"People need to spend more time in the real world, cuz, like Halladay said, reality is the only thing that's real."- Wade Watts (Ready Player One) I remember the first time I listened to the Ready Player One audiobook. It absolutely blew my mind. When I learned that they were making a movie, I was …
"Even the tiniest of actions can change the future."- Casey Newton (Tomorrowland) It blows my mind that Tomorrowland was a box office flop. I get that there was some cheesiness to it and that it could have absolutely been better, but I feel like it was a pretty good movie with a brilliant concept. There …
"At some point, everything is going to go south on you. Everything is going to go south and you're going to say, this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work."- Mark Watney (The Martian) I prefer the book, but the movie has the …
"Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes."- Edmond Dantes (The Count of Monte Cristo) I thought I might throw you a curveball with this one. Inspiration can …
"Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery, and I promise you something great will come of it." - Benjamin Mee (We Bought a Zoo) If you crave science fiction, fantasy, action, or murder and mayhem, this might not be the movie for you.
