Thoughts: The movie was more about going to an art/drama school and not too much about the students. Apparently, in the TV show they focus more about the students so that is neat. The song "Out Here On My Own" was nominated for an Oscar and it is amazing.
(M) Bull Durham. (Ron Shelton, 1988) Grade: B+
Thoughts: A good movie about minor league baseball with nice acting from Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon. Trivia – Ron Shelton was a former minor league baseball player and used his experience as the basis for the story and Kurt Russell, who helped Ron Shelton develop the script, also played minor league baseball in the early-1970s.
(M) Brassed Off. (Mark Herman, 1996) Grade: B
Thoughts: A cute British movie about coal miner workers who might lose their jobs and who are in a brass band starring a young Ewan McGregor.
(M) Murder By Numbers. (Barbet Schroeder, 2002) Grade: C-
Thoughts: Two gifted high school students – Justin Pendleton (Michael Pitt) and Richard Haywood (Ryan Gosling) - commit a murder. This movie could have been great but due to a bad script it fell apart at the end, which is a shame because Michael Pitt and Ryan Gosling were great. I can't say the same for Sandra Bullock. She needs to stick with romantic comedy stuff. It is her bread and butter.
Count for 2006: 138 movies
