The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
The Reason I don't pay attention to the Oscars
This movie is one of the greatest I have ever seen. Morgan Freeman gives an unbelievable performance in this work. The direction of it is exquisite (and gives much to Tim Robbins character, I know he is a good actor, but the direction gives so much more to him). The soundrack is unparalleled and the story is exquisite (thanks to Stephen King). I have seen many greats, Citizen Kane, The Godfather, Cuckoo's Nest, The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now....etc. This movie is fantastic, and the fact it didnt' win (or even get nominated) for an Oscar is the reason I don't pay attention to the Oscars anymore. This movie is fantastic, and an artistic triumph. I have no respect for the Academy for ignoring this flick.
Pardon the Interruption (2001)
This show is great, the other morons STINK!
Not only do Wilbon and Kornheiser make great insights and humor into sports, they do into entertainment and politics as well. It is very refreshing to see two intelligent people be able to offer reasonable opinions about sports and differ on them. It is hilarious to see them bounce off each other and even scream at each other. I find it even more funny that they both work for the Washington Post. Without a doubt the freshest, best, most original show ESPN has had in a LONG LONG LONG time. Even someone in Mongolia can recognize this. And to those who disagree, your opinions are PORRIDGE! JUST LIKE THE BCS, PORRIDGE!
