Author Topic: The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005) David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-01-2005 05:57 PM                        Today 11:45AM, Regal Cinema World 8 in Eugene, House #4, SR-D. Attendance: 4. Mostly looked and sounded very good, no complaints. Actor Bill Paxton is now 2 for 2 as a director. First "Frailty", now the anti-Frailty. If you're gonna make a feel-good root-for-the-underdog sports-themed movie, this is how to do it right. Well-acted, creatively photographed, pushes all the right buttons. Who woulda thunk there were so many ways to have the camera follow the flight of a golfball. Nothing really new here, but what it does, it does very competently. I liked it a lot. 3.875 out of 5 stars from me.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-07-2005 01:36 PM                     I only gotten to see reel five during a DTS install test run but man I can't wait to see the entire film. I'm the kind of person that can't stand to watch TV let alone sports on TV.... but I do love to watch pro golfing. Golf is really the last true "gentlemans" professional sport left on the planet and from what I saw this film certainly does justice to the sport. I give reel five 4 out of 5 stars all by itself!! BTW: Excellent sound mix on this film too! Mark  |  IP: Logged
