Safety

True story about Ray Ray and how he tried to help his younger brother in Clemson University while juggling with his academics, football and the NCAA. A well-made movie, and at times a tale that becomes unbelievable, hence it is fascinating to watch, making viewers sit on their edge... Resembles 'Pursuit of Happyness' but then that is how many people's lives are...

Rating: Good

Eddie The Eagle

A fascinating true story of how even as a small boy, Eddie always wanted to be an Olympian. Excellently narrated tale, and well casted too. From the starting scene, the movie has feel-good factor written all over it despite the ups and downs in Eddie's life. The tale itself is wonderful, so movie-making just made it better. Cinematography and photography is superlative.

Ford vs Ferrari

Wow, what a fantastic high-adrenaline movie! And a true-story at that. Matt Damon is classy, as usual. Superb narration, casting, acting, setting, dialog and direction in general. Its a pity to know about Ken Miles - how he actually won Le Mans 24 hours but red tape gave the victory to McLaren in 1966. And his unfortunate accidental death at a young age of 47. An absolute unsung car hero indeed. Many thanks for the production crew to bring out this message to the masses.
