The Substitute: Failure Is Not an Option (2001)
This Movie was Awesome
In response to the alternate review for this movie on this site i must say that S4:FINAO thoroughly stimulated my thought process and emotinoal structure through it's eloquent portrayal of white supremacist doctrine in the south. Patrick Kilpatrick gave a remarkably frightening portrayal of a "psycho". Though lacking a plot, good storyline, adequate character development, quality dialogue, good editing, better special effects, S4:FINAO was pure enjoyment. I can't wait until it comes out on DVD so I can enjoy myself (I mean the movie) in it's entirety. Congrats to the cast.
Remember the Titans (2000)
Rousselot a Master of Capturing Beauty on Film
I must first say that the film is absolutely beautiful. Phillipe Rousselot has done an excellent job (along with Boaz Yakin) in capturing the beauty of the South. Of course, why would one expect less from the Oscar winning cinematographer of A River Runs Through It.
We all know that Denzel gave an exceptional performance in Titans, but the film would not hold the power it holds without a strong cast. Will Patton also gave an excellent performance of a coach facing opposition to his way of life. But we can't stop there. Aside from a few slips in delivery, the young cast proved their abilities to present a story that makes us laugh, cry, applaud and cheer. This film is truly the "feel-good" motion picture event of the season.
