Taking Chance
« on: February 21, 2009, 11:35:35 PM »
I don't know if anyone else watched this tonight, but if you didn't, I'd highly recommend it to you.  Without any cliche or agenda, it is a surprisingly detailed movie, technically accurate, and in my opinion, properly frames the plot without taking you on some politically motivated roller coaster.  If you've lost anyone over there, it will mean something to you, I guarantee it.

Saw this tonight on HBO.  Very moving and subtle film.  Excellent portrayal by Kevin Bacon.

  I stayed up late to watch this one.  Very moving movie that everyone should see.
 the fact that my son is a Marine made the movie all that more moving to me. :salute
