Journeys in the form of words
"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 …
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."- Steve Jobs (Jobs) I don't consider, nor have I ever thought, myself to be a fan or follower of Steve Jobs. He was a dominant force in an industry that impacts the world but doesn't have that …
"Don't you ever stop dreaming, my love. You can be anyone you want to be."- Travers Goff (Saving Mr. Banks) Everything about Saving Mr. Banks was meant to motivate and inspire. Mary Poppins was wonderful, but getting a chance to watch a recreation of the events that made one of the greatest movies in cinematic …
"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 …
