Trail Buddies | Seabiscuit
Rating: PG-13
Review Score: 10/10
Summery: A great American story from Academy Award - nominated filmmaker
Gary Ross, Seabiscuit stars Tobey Maguire, Jeff Bridges and Chris Cooper.
Based on the inspiring true story of three men - 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 movie
going experience" (Chicago Sun-Times) and "a flat-out great movie!" (Larry
King Live, CNN)*
Review Comments: My absolute favorite of mine. Seabiscuits story is an
incredible one filled with struggle, and although the end is a bit predictable,
you will still find yourself rooting for the ending. One of my favorite aspects
of this film is how it is filmed. The pictures are crystal clear, even the
action shots, which most avid horse people know are rare in movies. Usually the
action shots aren't as clear as the rest of them movie, and they are usually
filmed from a far distance; not with this movie. A must see for every horse
lover! It should also be noted that the DVD has incredible features too,
including information about the real Seabiscuit, and bringing the true story to
film.
