Reign Over Me

Post by Nomad »

Reign Over Me

Nomad's Rating:



Starring Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Liv Tyler (:sneaky:)



Never been much of an Adam Sandler fan but He was a solid ok in this film.

Don Cheadle is as ever a believable character actor.

Hes an eccentric New Yorker wandering the city on his motorized scooter.

Void of friends and any real meaning in his life until Don Cheadle his college roomate runs into him.

Cheadle breaks through the barriers to find out he lost his family in an airplane that crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11.

The ensuing story unfolds as Cheadle tries to help Sandler work through the tragedy.

I thought it was a 3 kernal movie as well Nomie. ;)

I will be watching "The Kingdom" hoping that is a 4 1/2 kernal as it has been billed. Then its Football playoff games for me. :cool:
ALOHA!!

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

Wow! Thank you so much for not giving anything away to those who have not seen it:D
Who are they to protest me? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!

"The Kingdom" was 4 1/2 Kernals. I spent most of the time standing in front of the TV watching it. Powerful movie with a powerful meaning. The last seconds of the movie take your breath away. See it you won't be sorry. :yh_worshp:yh_worshp

I think Adam Chandler did a great job. It was heart rippingly sad. The second thread regarding the controlling wife of the dentist provided some interest.

I must say though that if I had the means to do so, I would just ride around on a scooter and play games too. A little fairy taleish........
