My favorite movies were

We Are Marshall

 Which was about a plane crash in 1970 that killed a majority of the Marshall Football team and staff and how they rebuilt the program.  I liked this movie a lot because first of all it was sports related.  It was also a nice story about how everybody related to the Marshall Football program came together to get back on their feet even if they weren’t very good.

The Express 

This was about Ernie Davis, the first black athlete to win the Heisman trophy when he played at Syracuse University.  I liked this movie because it was about sports as well.  It was also interesting to see what all he had to go through to get where he got and interesting to see where he got support from.  Unfortunately, the movie ended very sadly with him dying of leukemia.

Patriots Day

This was about the Boston Marathon bombing a few years back. Even though this was a terrible event I thought the movie was done really well. It was good at telling the story of the events and about all the people involved. I liked how they showed Boston coming together after a terrible event.

Cast Away

Was about a FedEx worker who got stuck on a deserted island by himself for four years.  I liked this movie because I’ve always been fascinated with deserted island stories and what it would be like.  I found it interesting when he came back to the real world and how much it had changed.  I also thought the open ended ending was interesting.

I had quite a bit of fun watching all these movies. I enjoyed watching 30 new movies and I’m looking forward to watching even more in the future.
