Journeys in the form of words
"Don't be a man. Be human."- Iris (Good Advice) Good Advice never used to be the kind of movie that would typically be my idea to watch. It was a movie that I watched, reluctantly, based on the recommendation of my parents. They told me it was a funny movie with a cast that I …
"If you know that you came through when people are counting on you, you'll be able to face anything."- Dick Best (Midway) This is another movie that is not for the faint of heart. Another movie that is based on true events that are not widely understood. Midway, and the included engagements between American and …
"There's a moment of orderly silence before a football play begins. Players are in position, linemen are frozen, and anything is possible. Then, like a traffic accident. stuff begins to randomly collide."- Leigh Anne Tuohy (The Blind Side) I know that there is a lot of debate on the factual accuracy of the story, but …
"The truth is, you guys have been given something that every athlete dreams of. A second chance. And you're afraid of blowing it. We all are. But now our fear is shared, and we can overcome it together."- Jimmy McGinty (The Replacements) I have to admit, I love a good football movie. When you add …
"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends."- Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) I remember the first time I picked up a Harry Potter book. I couldn't put it down. It was so unique and entertaining …
"Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here."- Cooper (Interstellar) Interstellar was definitely a movie that makes you think. It is the type of movie that you can't momentarily step away from or try carrying on a conversation during and expect to understand what is happening. By the way, people who …
"Your library makes our small corner of the world feel big."- Belle (Beauty and the Beast) I am a huge fan of the original Disney and Pixar movies. I was skeptical when they announced a live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, but I am always willing to give most things a chance. In this …
"Lost, not gone. If something's lost, it can be found."- Sam (Uncharted) I was skeptical at first, but this movie actually ended up being pretty fun and interesting. I am a sucker for a good treasure hunt movie. Uncharted, based on the video game, did not disappoint. It was a great cast, a fantastic performance, …
"The best reason to carry a handkerchief is to lend it."- Ben (The Intern) This was another surprise to me. The Intern is not the type of movie I typically enjoy, but I have been keeping a much more open mind as of late. It is definitely not your typical Robert De Niro movie, but …
"On a quest, the right way isn't always the easy one."- Barley (Onward) I was overly fond of this movie, but I would be lying if I said there weren't some fantastic moments. It definitely has the feel of most PIXAR movies and doesn't disappoint. Onward was entertaining and a unique idea for a quest …
