Seabiscuit

Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges (2003) A jockey, an automobile magnate and a trainer lead a racehorse to glory during the Great Depression. Based on a book by Laura Hillenbrand.

For some reason, I thought that Spiderman's last name started with "Mc" or "Mac", but apparently not.

And I also hate how the guy who writes the descriptions for these movies always leaves off the comma before the "and" in lists.

Jeff Bridges hairstyle is the complete opposite of hi hairstyle in Iron Man. Just thought you should know.

And I really like what they did with the beginning of the big race between Seabiscuit and War Admiral. Immediately after the starting bell, they cut to some black and white photographs (similar to what they've been showing throughout the movie), and then slowly fade in the announcer calling the race, while showing a few more black and white photos. And after a decent amount of time, they cut to the actual race.

And Tobey Maguire looks really strange with artificial red hair.

Good movie, though.

Good use of the music.

I have no idea why that posted twice.

So, did you check on this post to see why it was an even number of posts?

And then felt compelled to post something just to make sure it was an odd number again?

Yes. Shut up.
