I loved it

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2002)

Last year I was a bit upset when Russell Crowe won best actor at the Academy Awards. Not that he wasn't good in "Gladiator," but I felt that Tom Hanks was better in "Cast Away." Now I find myself rooting for Crowe to win the Oscar for his portrayal of John Nash in "A Beautiful Mind." His performance was sensational.
Generally, I'm not that fond of straight drama, being more attracted to action or fantasy/science fiction. This movie was an exception. It's a quality job on all levels, a serious work based on a true story, and surpasses Apollo 13 as my favorite Ron Howard film.
"A Beautiful Mind" is a beautiful movie -- go see it.
