BRAVEHEART (1995)
Directed by: Mel Gibson
Written by: Randall Wallace
Starring: Mel Gibson, Sophie Marceau, Patrick McGoohan, Brendan Gleeson, Angus MacFadyen

Like or hate Mel Gibson, he has undoubtedly created some of the most striking and memorable images in modern American film. He was already a Hollywood icon when he began the transition into directing. Some of his beliefs have gotten him into trouble especially in recent years, but he also clearly has ideas with which the American psyche identifies. In Braveheart he presented those ideas to us as director and producer – and won Oscar gold for both 1.

When I was in kindergarten, we were told to create a book and write about what we want to be when we grow up.  Based on my answer to this premise, I should have known that my career goals in my adult life would be all over the board.  In my book I explained that I wanted to be a cop, and if that didn’t work out I wanted to be the Karate Kid.  Ralph Macchio would have been so proud.

In this minisode, Tyler pleads with people to stop talking during movies.

Over the Christmas season, the primary gift I received was a nice collection of blu rays. One of them happened to be Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class. Upon this most recent viewing of it, it reminded me of how much I love the X-Men franchise and how compelling the character of Magneto/Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) is.

Hey Wood-chuck Chuckers, its Groundhog Day!  (it is as I write this at least)

This morning in Punxsutawney, ole’ Phil the groundhog saw his shadow.  Such a revelation was met with an anemic reaction since this winter has been quite mild.  So, why do we watch, why does this town put on this yearly pageant?  Perhaps even more puzzling- why has a comedy centered around this holiday only grown in acclaim and even reverence since it premiered back in 1993?  American literary theorist and legal scholar Stanley Fish named the film as one of the 10 best American films ever made.  What about it led the United States National Film Registry to deem it “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” back in 2006 when it added the film to its ranks?   Now I love Bill Murray and Harold Ramis, but those guys don’t seem the type to hobnob with (what I’m assuming) must be a slightly snobby crowd in their new registry abode.  Roger Ebert is an avowed fan.  You get the picture.
