Superb!

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2003)

There is a drive-in by my house that I frequent a lot. Tonight I had the great pleasure of seeing two outstanding films that will probably not be nominated for Best Picture. The first film was RADIO, the second was KILL BILL.
I was shocked at how much negative press this film got. Cuba Gooding Jr. was outstanding! This man has had some great roles in his career from BOYZ IN THE HOOD to JERRY MAGUIRE and now RADIO. If there was any justice, Cuba would be nominated for Best Actor for this film. They gave it to Denzel a few years ago for TRAINING DAY to make up screwing him out of THE HURRICANE and REMEMBER THE TITANS. They can nominate Cuba.
This was a very touching and warm-hearted movie. For the first time in a long while, I cried on several occasions. A very powerful film with a great performance by Ed Harris as well as the high school football coach. Alfre Woodward was equally great as the principal.
You get to see how Radio goes from a shy outsider to a beloved figure at the school. This is truly an outstanding film and hopefully should receive a Best Picture nomination.
