Glory Road, a Disney flick, has been a movie I've wanted to see. I've linked movies.com review here. It got Bs from the critics and B+'es from movies.com and fans. Hey, I gave Narnia a B+. That's worth seeing to me. As a Disney flick, I'm not expecting in-depth, just inspirational, and the reviews sound like it hit the target. It didn't make Ken's list of movies he wanted to see, so by that I'll just derive that he doesn't like basketball anymore. That's okay, though.
I'm not going to go on about it. Just wanted to know if anyone else has seen it, and if so, do you give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. Also, it's rated PG, so what age kid could go see it? I have a 7-year old who really likes basketball and liked the trailers a lot. So, just asking. Thanks.

That's exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks, b!
My kids have seen enough of "24" when they come in and my wife and I are watching that I'm sure to make the class list in Bad Parenting 101. Sounds like Glory Road would be great for us. Cool.
Oh, and just to let the parent police know so I do get one good check on my parenting card, I do keep the kids out when my wife watches the Housewives.
Just so everyone has it straight, shooting people, terrorism, torture, other forms of violence, cussing (to a degree) - those are okay. A little gossip, some sexual overtones and undertones and tones in general, and some kids being disrespectful to their parents - those are bad... very, very bad.
How'd I do?
Hey, b, give your dad a high five for me next time you see him. Sounds like my kind of guy!
Saw it, liked it a lot. And my kids were with me.
I think some people will relate to it more than others. But I definitely think you'll find it meaningful, Rich.
I've heard the references to "Remember the basketball Titans". But while I liked Titans, too. Glory Road was more of an us-against-the-world theme to Titans' us-against-ourselves-till-we-grow message.
Don't mean to harp on it, but this one wasn't included in my movies to look forward to post because it wasn't on theme and the others seemed to be. (But thanks for the link)
b: Thanks for the comments, and your dad gets a high-five from me, too. I've checked out your blog and will check back again.
A Master's in Lit. We may not be attracting quantity, but you can't argue with the quality commenters we've got, Rich.
...which is just the opposite of us, huh, Kenneth?
I think we cannot stress enough how much more thankful we are for our commenters than we are for ourselves.

By the way, on a total hijack of my own post, I'm really getting the hang of this adding pictures thing. I'm like a kid with a new toy. You saw my Dr. Seuss post, right? I had Loraxes and Sneetches all over the place. And then the Loverboy picture hook... who can resist reading a post broadcasted by some dude in leather red tights crossing his fingers? [well, I should clarify. i could resist, but you know what i mean]
Oooh... pictures... pretty
b,
We got that you were Betsy, your dad is cool, and your blog's not boring. There I said it :)
(I used to teach youth at our church -- reading stuff like that is great; at the same time, we'll honor your wish if that's what you really want, we just hope that it's not.)
Would you prefer we called you b or Betsy? b is shorter and I had a friend named Betsy I really liked back when I lived in CO Spgs. So either way is great with me. I shouldn't speak for Ken (though I often do). He may just want to go off the board and call you something that starts with X or Q. He's like that.
Then, we'll be over from time to time.
Rick:Generally, I don't mind your speaking for me, but the X or Q thing was so uncalled for. And with a nice person like Betsy, too.
Are you trying to good cop/bad cop the Lords and Ladies of the Realm?
That's downright diabolical, you madman, you.
Betsy: Just wanted to mention that we can sometimes be a little unkempt, and... ah, who am I kidding, we're slobs. If we start hanging around your blog and leaving a mess to clean up. We apologize in advance.
Whoa. You are with us. I was about to do a Where's Waldo post asking the afore-mentioned "lords and ladies of The Realm" where they might think you are... since you certainly weren't at the blog today.
But better late than never, I suppose.
Oh, and nice use of the word "Rick," btw. May both your kidneys be stoned. (just kiddin'... that is kinda harsh).
One more thing! How about my little Glory Road post here competing with your Garden of Eden's in Japan post for Most Popular? It's not there yet, but it's getting close. Who'dathunkit?
