Finding Forrester
A movie that looked cool only because it had Sean Connery in it and the fact that one seen was when a student stands up to a teacher and shuts him down.
It was great. Sean does a great job of being a shut in named, William Forrester, with a guy in a BMW provideing him with food and socks. Rob Brown plays Jammal Wallace, who is a smart 16 year old with a passion for basketball. He also does a great job of being a smart dude. Anna Paquin (queen Amedila of Star Wars) has no where near the cool clothes that she had in "Phantom Menace". You would think that if you had some kicking cool clothes from past movies she might move them to this one. NOOOOO. Connery drinks an offel lot in this movie and it leads to believe that it is a sub plot, that somehow there is help for him, not so. Connery keeps on drinking right to the end of the movie.
I was quite disapointed when, near the end of the movie, Matt Damon makes an appearence as a lawyer who tells Jamal that Forrester is dead. Some no name actor like me could have been that lawyer. No need to pay millions for some dude that dosent even suit the part. I could have done it.
Using Ians Rating Scale:
10/10 for haveing a very old, bearded, Connery. 1/10 for Connery not saying "Forrester, William Forrester". 5/10 for Connery riding a pre WW1 bike without a helmet. 9/10 for Forrester having not 1 but 2 typewriters in his apartment. 6/10 for Anna Paquin throwing herself at Rob Brown and Brown reacting by teaching her how to be better at Basketball. 31/50. I really enjoyed this movie. Take your girlfriend to it and hold her hand.
