Journeys in the form of words
"Nothing's difficult. Everything's a challenge. Through adversity to the stars. From the last plane to the last bullet to the last minute to the last man, we fight. We fight! We fight!"- Joe "Lightening" Little (Red Tails) The story behind the movie Red Tails is one of my favorite stories in American military history. It …
"Adventure is out there!"- Charles Muntz (UP) If you have never seen this movie, you are doing yourself a disservice. UP is yet another movie that, once upon a time, I was not interested in seeing. Fortunately for me, I have someone in my life that has opened my eyes. I have seen and done …
"The main thing about money, Bud, is that it makes you do things you don't want to do."- Lou Mannheim (Wall Street) Wall Street is another Charlie Sheen movie that is not classified as a comedy but was still impressive. For most people, any movie about the stock market doesn't have the most appealing sound …
"Sometimes if you want to succeed, you have to do what they tell you."- Cassie Munroe (RV) Fun story about this movie. I have actually had a copy of it for many years. It came in a pack with a movie that I wanted and the pack was cheaper than buying the movie on its …
"If there is something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action."- Benjamin Franklin Gates (National Treasure) Before I say anything, I feel an obligation to state for the record that I do not encourage or endorse grand theft or criminal activities of any kind. I understand that …
"Learn the form, but seek the formless. Hear the soundless. Learn it all, then forget it all. Learn the way, then find your own way."- The Silent Monk (The Forbidden Kingdom) I have to admit that this is one of my favorite Jackie Chan movies. The Forbidden Kingdom was not what I was expecting when …
"That's the beauty of argument. If you argue correctly, you're never wrong."- Nick Naylor (Thank You for Smoking) Thank You for Smoking is another movie with not much action or adventure. One of my favorite types of movies is those that reinforce the importance of intelligence and great communication skills. This movie is essentially about …
"What makes a legend? Is it what someone did while they were alive? Or how they're remembered after they're gone?"- Jake Fischer (The Guardian) I absolutely love the movie The Guardian for so many reasons. I am a pretty big fan of Kevin Costner and the rest of the cast was quite impressive. This movie …
"From the moment we enter this life we are in the flow of it. We measure it and we mark it, but we cannot defy it. We cannot even speed it up or slow it down."- Eisenheim (The Illusionist) This is another one of those movies that you might not get right away or might …
"The best way to find out is to get her out on the ocean Kitty. If anything is going to happen it's going to happen out there."- Captain Ron (Captain Ron) I know that it may not seem like the type of movie to be considered motivational or inspirational but for anyone with a spirit …
