A wonderful surprise at The Angelika
I’m going to go out on a limb here to say a new movie has broken into my all-time Top 10. And it’s playing at both Angelika Theaters.
“Murderball.”
It is one of the most enjoyable, funny, interesting movies of all time. Rugby being played by quadrapeligics.
It’s nothing like what you imagine and the best thing to do is visit the Web site at murderballmovie.com
As one of the guys in the movie says while heading to the Worldwide Paralympics, “We aren’t here to get hugs, we’re here to get gold.”
It’s not getting huge crowds, so I’m doing my part to fix that. The name scares some people. As well as the topic. And it is a documentary. The language is a little rough so don’t take your kiddos. But you’ll learn things you can use in life and you’ll leave the theater feeling great.
Watch for Mark Zupan, USA Team Captain, on TV. He’s hitting the promo and interview circuit very hard right now.
I saw it last night, and it was hilarious and fascinating.
