    Into the Wild

    Based on a true story.

    After graduating from Emory University in 1992, top student and athlete Christopher McCandless abandoned his possessions, gave his entire $24,000 savings account to charity and hitchhiked to Alaska to live in the wilderness. Along the way, Christopher encounters a series of characters who shape his life.

    Nominated for 2 Oscars. Another 7 wins & 29 nominations.

    Although the movie is 148 minutes long and one does tend to get bored inbetween but since its based on the life of Christoper, its justifiable.

    Must watch it once. :T

    From what I've read about this one, I will have to be in the right mood to rent it, but I eventually will.

      Huh... yeah, I'll check it out, if Alaska's involved.

      At first, I thought you were talking about the animated movie of a similar name.

        I watched it and thought it was pretty good. Not sure I'd watch it more then once though.

          I just watched it and think it's great. Some fantastic cinematography and loved Eddie Vedder's soundtrack.

          It is kind of slow paced, but I was never bored.

            THE RUNDOWN was a pleasant surprise
            by George Bellefontaine
            THE RUNDOWN stars The Rock as Beck, a retriever/bounty hunter, who is hired to bring Travis ( Seann William Scott) back to the States from the Amazon. Seems Travis was a bad boy and daddy wants him back to face the music, but the real story begins as Beck and Travis come up against a nasty town boss...

            The Barclay Race
            by oldbob
            I stumbled across this documentary on Netflix Streaming. If you are or have been a athlete or are just a avid armchair athlete this is a very entertaining film. The Barclay race takes place every year in some of the more extreme terrain found in Tenn. (no, it is not Lex's unmowed back yard). How do...
