The Greatest Game Every Played

(November 19, 2005)

It's about 3am, and my friend Drew and I just returned from the dollar theatre (ahhh the joys of living in a two-university town where, if you wait a month after a movie comes out, you save $9 a ticket). Went and saw The Greatest Game Ever Played. Applauded at the end. I usually don't do that. It is such a breath of fresh air when a movie comes out that isn't high budget, no indecency , no raunchy jokes, no swearing, no monkey on a baseball team that takes you to the world series, no elephant coming out of a friggin' board game etc., but just makes you feel really good about life- and is a true event at that. Whatever happened to that genre?

And I want to go golfing.
