My Favorite Zorro

The best Zorro movie of all time! Ron Leibman and George Hamilton are so brilliant together. I've included a couple of my favorite clips below.

Fast forward and then start watching this first clip at 4 minutes into the video--this is the scene that always jumps into my head when I think of this movie.



This next scene is also fantastic! Sorry about the weird subtitles--this was the only clip I could find online. Start watching this one at 0:50 into the video.



If you haven't seen this movie, go rent it and watch it tonight. These youtube clips don't do it justice at all.

Moneyball

#1 life-changing movie of 2011: Moneyball.

This movie had a HUGE impact on me. It made me think. It inspired me. The acting was great. A great story, and more importantly, such a great execution of a true story on the big screen. I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen it, so I won't say too much. I will say though that I loved the way they tied it to the importance of family in the end. As my brother put it, in the end you saw that the game that was being played wasn't baseball, it was life and Brad Pitt's character won. I couldn't stop thinking about this story and the message for weeks. So many great messages!!!

And on an exciting acting note: Jonah Hill, who I always think is hilarious, was so much more than just hilarious in this movie--he was a legitimate actor. I'm excited to see more of this from him.

If you haven't seen this movie, see it.
