Author Topic: Radio Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-25-2003 11:45 PM                        John, Yes, that was, indeed, the real Radio. I spoke with an old aquantance last night who actually graduated from T.L. Hanna back in '84. SHe said that Radio was genuinely portrayed in the film. Call me sappy, I thought the film was great, cliche's/formulas and all. I seem to always find that 'based on true story' films are better than the normal Hollywood puts out. Then again, I spend a lot more time watching TLC, Discovery, A&E, and HGTV than I do the big three affiliates or other syndicated show channels. I prefer to see things that are more fact than fiction... Special effects are great, but htey don't mean a whole helluva lot when I step out of the booth and back into reality.. * Note to Phil.. If your cards show your bare naked ass like last years did, I'm THANKFUL you took me off the list..  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-26-2003 07:31 PM                    I saw this one over the weekend. The film did overly play on the senses but that was not the point of the film. This is a true story about a man that was mentally challenged, retarded, what ever you wanted to call it. His life was stuck in one repedative mode. That being pushing a shopping cart around town collecting various things and being avoided by the town folk. What this film shows is the heart of a man who coaches a football team and is director of athletics at the local high school in a South Carolina comunity. During a time, mid 70's, when people were still trying to face the challenges of civil rights. All in all I think this is a good movie to see even if it does go overboard on the emotions at times. I give this one *** stars out of four.  |  IP: Logged
