Movie making at its best.

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2004)

Seabiscuit has restored my faith in the movie making process. I have not seen a movie this enjoyable for many. many years. Superbly casted, superbly acted and a superb story line. First movie I have seen in years that did not have background noise or music overpower the spoken dialog. Jeff Bridges, Chris Cooper and Toby McGuire were born to play these parts. It was a wonderful blend of depression era Americana and great movie making skills. It will probably be overshadowed at the Oscars by the special effects giant Lord of the Rings trilogy. What a shame.
