A great family film. The story of the racehorse that came from behind exemplifies America's recovery from the Great Depression of the 1930's. The movie has heart, compassion and inspires hope by showing that the odds are made to be beaten.

Excellent performances from Jeff Bridges, Tobey Maguire and Chris Cooper and a delightful turn by William H. Macy as the racing broadcaster. Picture has truly solid technical credits including exceptional cinematography, costume design and art direction.

Basically a period piece about an era long gone, SEABISCUIT writer/director Gary Ross expounds the belief that no matter how bad things may be now, in life or career, faith springs eternal and the underdog always has a chance.

The best of the Lumet NY cop pictures. PRINCE OF THE CITY has an excellent script by Jay Presson Allen and a fine cast lead by Treat Williams and the best of NY's local actors. Danny Ciello, a NYC narcotics cop, deals with the conflict between his "moral compass" and the realities of drug law enforcement. The film is about Ciello clearing his conscience and suffering the consequences of seeing his police colleagues burned in the process. Supporting perfs are superb with special notice to Jerry Orbach as Ciello's partner and Lane Smith as the FBI agent that befriends Ciello's confused wife. Haunting score by Paul Chihara adds the finishing touch to this fine film about "doing the right thing" even when the consequences are so high.

Hope this film is soon released on DVD for everyone to enjoy...

A Beautiful Picture. Intelligent and well written script, if not totally faithful to source material. Excellent Cast with Crowe and Connelly putting in solid performances. All supporting roles are flawless. Ron Howard's best film to date. Probable Oscar Nominations and possible wins are in the offing. A Must See.
