The Shawshank Redemption

funkuken One of my all time favorites. Shawshank Redemption is a very moving story about hope and the power of friendship. The cast is first rate with everyone giving a great performance. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman carry the movie, but Bob Gunton and Clancy Brown are perfect as the Warden Norton and prison guard captain Hadley respectively. And James Whitmore's portrayal of an elderly inmate Brooks is moving. The screenplay gives almost every actor at least one or more memorable lines through out the film. As well as a very surprising "twist" near the end that almost knocked me out of my chair. If you have not seen this movie rent it or better yet buy it. As I bet you'll want to see this one more than once.

funkuken Rita Hayworth was a famous actress who was active from the 1930s to the 1970s (she died in 1987 from Alzheimer’s disease). The 1940s were her heyday.

funkuken I had originally owned this film on VHS. It grew on me to where I was watching it nearly once a week. The tape had gotten so bad that I could no longer enjoy the film. i have replaced my VHS tape with the 10th year anniversary two-disc special edition and i have really enjoyed the many extras made available. The commentaries from Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman and others contribute so much more that i would recommend to the first time viewer, if there are any, to view these bonus tracks prior to the movie. The extras sell the film all over again. I continue to watch this film a couple of times a month. The film lifts my spirits and jump starts my soul. Thank you Frank Darabont. oh, and Stephen King for a great experience with this film which has become one of my all time favorites...
