U2 3D (2007)
Very Good 3D Movie!
I went and saw this at the Sundance Film Festival tonight. It is one of/if not the best 3-D movie you'll ever see. If you know you'll never get the chance to see them live, or have an itch for a U2 concert that you just can't scratch, you have to go see this. It was basically that. Much better than your typical concert DVD. There were some pretty good 3D effects too.
My only complaint was that it made me want to get up and and jump to the beat of the music with the crowd, but since its in a theater, you can't get into it as much as you'd like. Otherwise though, you should really check it out.
Resurrecting the Champ (2007)
Resurrecting the Champ is amazing!!!!!!!
I just got home from the world premiere of Resurrecting the Champ at the Sundance Film Festival. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. The first half of the movie is mostly focused on Erik (Josh Hartnett) getting to know more about Champ (Samuel L. Jackson), a homeless man, who was formerly a well known pro boxer, for a news paper article. In a turn of events toward the end of the movie, Erik winds up having more in common with Champ's struggle in life as a child with his father and then as a father toward his son, than he thought he ever would. Erik has to re-evaluate his own relationship with his son, wife, and recently deceased father, and rectify some mistakes that were made in the past with each one of them. Everything ties together so beautifully at the end of the movie, it is very touching. The film has the perfect blend of humor, and seriousness. The casting was perfect for this movie from top to bottom and all of the acting is wonderful. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this movie does very well in theaters and also wins some big time awards. People who enjoy sports movies will love this, but there's much more depth to the movie than just that, so it's okay if your not the sports type. The deepest messages and themes of this movie have nothing to do with sports, and are centered more on making good decisions in life, and accepting that we're all going through life imperfectly. Go see it as soon as humanly possible!
