A true story about soccer (Football to England) brings some very good entertainment to the screen. It’s called The Damned United and I liked the acting, cinematography and direction of this sports period piece. If you like your competition with some drama and action then The Damned United is your kick in the grass.
Seeing Michael Jackson on stage in This Is It, happy and in control, made me wonder what could have happened to this wonderful man. I was in total awe watching him create a final concert from his vision and the way Michael threw himself into his work. The film is a must see for Jackson fans, pop music lovers and for those who want a last endearing look at the King of Pop.
This nicely played out story based on the actual memoirs of an affair is simple and amusing. Although it is somewhat similar to Lolita, being an actual happing does give it an edge over the famous themed film of older man soliciting a teenager. But, An Education is a love story no matter how distasteful or prurient as the acting and direction make it entertaining.
