Matt MoodyWe Are Marshall - 0 Clocks
December 31st 2006 23:15
Unfortunately my credentials aren't of the sort that allow me the luxury of being paid for doing the thing I love to do. The result of this travesty is that generally the hours between 9AM and 5PM are reserved for things not movie related and even though I do my best to keep up with my viewing, I just don't have the time to review them all. I didn't plan to review We Are Marshall, and I still don't consider this a review, but I loved this movie so much that I had to atleast say something to let my small, but loyal, fanbase know how kick-ass it is.
So here's the first [of perhaps many] of what I will call - "A Quick Laundry List Of Reasons Why You Should [Or Should Not] See [Insert Appropriate Title]"...or "Laundry List" for short.
1. The Directing – Touching! This movie moved me not so much with the things that were said, but with the actions that were taken. From the smallest look between friends to the huge plays on the field, McG brought life to that story and for 2 hours and 7 minutes "I Was Marshall".
2. The Acting – Outstanding! Wonderful acting all around, with especially good performances by Anthony Mackie, Matthew Fox, David Strathairn, and Matthew McConaughey.
3. The Soundtrack – On The Money! There are only two things that a soundtrack should do. Number 1 – Each song should fit its respective scene; and Number 2 – The album, on its own, should be something that you would want to listen to. The soundtrack for We Are Marshall does both, and does it well.
