Journeys in the form of words
"People are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that."- Peter Brand (Moneyball) Moneyball is not your typical sports movie. Yes. There are scenes where they show the player on the field practicing or playing, but that is not what the movie …
"You can do a lot in a day."- Will Salas (In Time) It is a shame this movie was not given more credit. In Time was entertaining from beginning to end and was a unique story about a futuristic world that was both cool and terrifying at the same time. Imagine a world where the …
"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."- Andy Dufresne (The Shawshank Redemption) The Shawshank Redemption is arguably one of the best movies made. It wasn't action-packed or a special effects masterpiece, but it had all the elements needed to create a phenomenal story. Full of twists, …
"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 …
"A man's body may grow old, but inside, his spirit can still be as young and as restless as ever." - Garth Secondhand Lions I don't consider myself to be old, but I am at that point where I start noticing things that used to come easy to me, aren't so easy anymore. I am …
"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 …
