Resurrecting the Champ

Unread postby PenultimateManStanding » Sun 07 Sep 2008, 22:28:29

Warning: plot spoiler. Samuel L. Jackson in an Academy Award performance. He's a has been heavy-weight World Contender boxer who lies about his identity. Josh Hartnett does a yeoman's job as the Sports Writer who gets deceived but ultimately redeemed in the end. But I've never seen Jackson play such a roll with such conviction. Brilliant. A used up ex-boxer wino on the streets with a rep he doesn't want. A wise guy tough kid who knows his rep confronts him. Jackson, in spite of himself, drunk and old, kicks the kid's ass seven weeks to Sunday and then drops dead. What a flick!

Tough break with them chargers PMS, I immediately thought of you and how you were going to take it when I saw that no-time left TD pass. My 'boys kicked ass.
Perhaps the population would be less swayed to socialism if we had fewer examples of socialism from our "Free Market Capitalists". -----fiddler dave
