Taking Chance

25 January 2010

I usually have very little use for the Hollywood crowd. With few exceptions, like Gary Sinise and very, very few others, the Hollywood type phonies are really of no importance for me with the exception of occasional entertainment value.
The so called award season is in full swing, the time when the make believe champs make each other happy by awarding mostly useless praise.
But there is a piece of news from the award season that's worth sharing on this blog.
Kevin Bacon was given the Screen Actors Guild Award for his performance in a very little known movie called "Taking Chance".
Reading about this is quite amazing, as it appears that the detached Hollywood weirdos hav given recognition to Mr. Bacon for his portrayal of a US Marine Officer.
Even more amazing, Kevin Bacon a week ago was awarded the Golden Globe for the same role.

The movie Taking Chance is a must see as it is a true story and it shows the extent the United States Marine Corps goes to honor its Fallen.

And these are just my thoughts!
