a touchdown by....WE ARE MARSHALL

Football. The game almost everybody loves mainly to its body smashing and emotions every game. Based on a true story the film “ We Are Marshall ” depicts the flight of the 1970’s football team of Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia.

After the plane crash that wiped out Marshall’s beloved football team, The Thundering Herd. The entire town of Huntington was in grief losing sons, brothers, fathers and mothers. With the death of almost the entire team, the University’s Board of Director plans to suspend the football team. But with Nate Ruffin, one of the remaining football player, and some students drive to keep the team, the University President Don Dedmon finally decided to keep the team and the program.

With no one willing to coach the team, Jack Lengyel portrayed by Matthew McConaughey came to their feet to coach the team and build the team from scratch with the help of Assistant Coach Red Dawson played by Matthew Fox.

They had some difficulties recruiting players, most of the players they recruited are from different various field of sports. University President Don Dedmon had a hard time appealing to the NCAA to make some exemption to allow them to play college freshman after what happen to their team, but got rejected each time he appeals. Until Jack told him to approach to them personally because like what he always says, there’s a first time for everything.

The film keeps you cheering for the team against their opponent who are much more experienced, stronger and older. Teaches us how to overcome adversity to our life, if you get knock down, you have to get up just like football. Winning is everything for the Thundering Herd before the fatal crash. But when Jack came, it’s not about winning or losing, it’s not about how you play the game, but just playing the game and keeping the program alive.

This film is a beautifully crafted drama directed by McG, scores one big emotional touchdown, keeping the school spirit alive. You’ll also hear some great songs from the 70’s.

If you like football and drama, NBC’s Friday Night Lights and Remember the Titans, this one’s for you. We Are…. Marshall!!!!!

LOST.......IN REVIEW

From the very first episode of LOST in season 1 to its finale in season 2, the show is just explosive. Keep you glued to the boob tube and clamoring for more.

4,8,15,16,23 and 42 these numbers are history as same with the hatch, But who knows, maybe the writers will still come up with these numbers again in season 4, considering that it is connected to Hurley ( Jorge Garcia ).

Season 3 started brutally, with Sawyer ( Josh Halloway ) being tortured. The show just makes you wanna kill one of them hostiles, just show how bad these hostiles are.

My favorite episode would have to be the one where Hurley found a van along with some beer and a dead driver( which we would later found out that it was Benjamin’s Dad). That episode is just so heartwarming, despite all of their difficulties, dangers they’ve experienced in the island, they still manage to put a smile in their face and have some fun.

As for Kate ( Evangeline Lily), she’s now torn between Sawyer and Jack ( Matthew Fox) , although she made out with Sawyer in his cage, which Jack saw and was jealous of. Keeps you guessing who really likes, although at the season finale, Jack admits to Kate that he loves her, which somehow that scene thrilled my wife.

It’s also saddening that my favorite little hobbit on the show, Charlie ( Dominic Monaghan ) died at the season finale, well everything happens for a reason in the island as the cliché goes. My family will surely miss his character.

The back story got me confused a little bit, I thought I’m seeing Jack in the past, but lo and behold, it was not a back story instead were seeing the future of what happens to him after being rescued. He looks haggard, sort of a nut case with a beard. I must commend the show for the twist in its story and how it was delivered.

Season 3 answered a lot of question like where did Benjamin and Juliet came from. We found out that Benjamin Dad was working with Dharma Initiative and that he was the reason why these Dharma people was wiped out.

Season 3 left me a lot of question ; Who are these hostiles and where do they come from ? If it wasn’t Desmond girlfriend, then who are the people who will rescue them? And of course my important question is at the future story, why did Jack tell Kate that they have to go back?

I’m feeling LOST right now, can’t wait for Season 4 till next year and also its release on DVD this fall, I wonder if what are the special features.
