Movie Reviews of Seabiscuit [HD DVD]
Movie Review: "The perfect horse to take him there" (BEST HD-DVD MOVIE I HAVE!!!!!)
Summary: 5 Stars
This HD-DVD movie is AWESOME in so many ways. The movie just pop's out at you in HD, the colors are so rich and Gary Ross did a wonderful job on directing this film. I think Gary Ross put every he had in this movie, I really like how he started the movie off in a documentary kind of way; with the narrator David McCullough and all history is really what made the movie come together. The acting was phenomenal, with Toby Maguire(Red Pollard), Jeff Bridges(Charles Howard), Chris Cooper(Tom Smith), Elizabeth Banks(Marcela Howard), and the great William H. Macy(Tick Tock McGlaughlin). I think this is one of Jeff Bridges best performances in along time, the same goes for Chris Copper I love when his character(Tom Smith) said "You don't throw a whole life away because its banged up a little bit". William H. Macy was hilarious as Tick Tock McGlaughlin and Toby Maguire was just born to play as Red Pollard in every way. I was really overwhelmed by Gary Stevens(George Woolf)performance which is not any actor, but was inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame in 1997 at the age of 34.
Every time I see this movie it just puts tears to my eyes, such an uplifting movie in every way! The movie should have got a lot of Oscars, but The Lord of the Rings- Return of the King- killed everything that year (which it really did deserved every Oscar it got). A must have for every HD-DVD collector!!! I don't think their will every be another horse movie that can be done like this again period!
Summary of Seabiscuit [HD DVD]
Universal Seabiscuit - HD DVDA great American story fromAcademy Award-nominated filmmaker Gary Ross, Seabiscuit stars Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges and ChrisCooper. Based on the inspiring true story of three men - a jockey, a trainer and a businessman - and the undersized racehorse who took the entire nation on the ride of a lifetime. This breathtaking film achievement is "a must-see moviegoing experience" (Chicago Sun-Times) and "a flat-out great movie!" (Larry King Live, CNN)
Proving that truth is often greater than fiction, the handsome production of Seabiscuit offers a healthy alternative to Hollywood's staple diet of mayhem. With superior production values at his disposal, writer-director Gary Ross (Pleasantville) is a bit too reverent toward Laura Hillenbrand's captivating bestseller, unnecessarily using archival material--and David McCullough's familiar PBS-styled narration--to pay Ken Burns-like tribute to Hillenbrand's acclaimed history of Seabiscuit, the knobby-kneed thoroughbred who "came from behind" in the late 1930s to win the hearts of Depression-weary Americans. That caveat aside, Ross's adaptation retains much of the horse-and-human heroism that Hillenbrand so effectively conveyed; this is a classically styled "legend" movie like The Natural, which was also heightened by a lushly sentimental Randy Newman score. Led by Tobey Maguire as Seabiscuit's hard-luck jockey, the film's first-rate cast is uniformly excellent, including William H. Macy as a wacky trackside announcer who fills this earnest film with a much-needed spirit of fun. --Jeff Shannon
