Picture Perfect: The Stories Behind the Greatest Photos in Sports (2002)
Picture Perfect indeed...
I happened to stumble upon this documentary on HBO the other night and was very impressed by the presentation.
If you are sports enthusiast or just someone who appreciates the aesthetics of photography, I urge you to see this one-hour show detailing the sports, photos, and overall nostalgia of our nation.
Not only will you get a great look at the past century in entertain but you also get the history of events that shaped out nation through pictures.
The one gripe I did have was that it's not on the market.
Well, what are you waiting for!?
"A visual history of our love of everything memorable."
Spider-Man 2 (2004)
A Bigger, Better Spider
Can I get a witness? BAM!
As the credits rolled on in this two-hour extravaganza, I realized that I might have just witnessed history. For one, no other movie has cost $200 million to produce. Second, aside from the two great sequels of the past two decades [Godfather Pt.II and Empire Strikes Back] no other sequel has come close to it's predecessor. Well, from my experience, the budget and sequel will reward themselves. The movie will probably beat out "Return of the King" in revenue, and SP2 is, by far, better than than the latter.
Without spoiling the emotional roller-coaster of a plot, the viewer should prepare themself for unharolded special effects [nothing comes close], physics defying acrobatics, a "coming of age" Peter Parker [whom everyone can relate too], a gut-wrenching love story, and conflict after conflict after conflict. All this in one movie and there is still one more episode to wrap up the trilogy!
I hope the summer blockbuster season [a shout-out to Senior Lucas] can learn from this movie for years to come this one rule: SPECIAL EFFECTS MAKE A BLOCKBUSTER THE MONEY IT NEEDS TO MAKE A Sequel, BUT, SPECIAL EFFECTS BALANCED WITH A DYNAMIC STORY THAT TUGS AT YOUR HEART CREATES A CLASSIC.
With that, I give Spiderman 2 a WELL DESERVED A+
Peace.
I'd also like to point out cameo appearances by...unh-uh...you'll just have to keep your eyes peeled; they're not hard to spot.
