Not Quite a Tie

I saw a couple of movies this weekend. After said baby shower I hung out at Bewbitts house, went to Stake and Shake, yummy yummy chicken fingers and cheese fires, and then went to see a movie. Saw Bewitched, it was cute, though Nicole Kidman's voice was a little strange, she was talking in a whisper/soft voice thing, very annoying. Yesterday I went to Oak Park and saw for free, Cinderella Man. Free because I filled up my punch card from the theater for every movie I see. Seeing the movie made me think, Cinderella Man is very much like Seabiscuit because they are movies set in the depression and are about the little guy getting a second change and supposedly inspiring the nation, etc.....But, Seabiscuit is sooooo much better! The book was a great read and I didn't think it would be that good, I highly recommend it, the author's writing style was wonderful and totally engrossed you into the story. It's just the way that it was filmed, the still photos from that era that were used and the use of a narator, whose name I can't remember but is well known for documentaries was clever. Besides my family likes the ponies, hell my great uncle even wrote books about horseracing strategy!
