INTERVIEW: A FEW WORDS WITH BILL PAXTON I was greatly influenced by Alfred Hitchcock, by Sergio Leone, and this is kind of a Sam Raimi golf film in a way. By Maurice Broaddus	INTERVIEW: MARK FROST Mark Frost wrote the best-selling non-fiction book, The Greatest Game Ever Played By Maurice Broaddus
Review by GREG WRIGHT —Continued on the blog
This movie is ostensibly about golf. What it mostly seems to be about is special effects: golfball POV shots, shots of golfballs hurtling into the camera, shots from under the ball, crowds and landscapes that dissolve, smoke rings that float impossibly downward, unnaturally cute ladybugs and literally countless pirouetting, zooming, fading and panning scoreboard numbers. I’m pretty sure that The Greatest Game Ever Played single-handedly kept a hundred CG artists employed for a year. Director Bill Paxton overplays the special effects often and early, using a 1 wood when a 5 iron would do—and he unfortunately double-bogeys when it matters most. —Continued on the blog
Meet MICHAEL SMITH —Continued on the blog
Success isn’t permanent, and failure isn’t fatal. —Mike Ditka Why is winning so important? I think it’s because we want to have hope that we can accomplish something with our lives. My personal theory is that we all have something we can excel at. Each of us has at least one talent, ability or calling that we were meant to fulfill. It’s inside you in the form of desire, ability, aptitude or attitude. Our job in life is to find it. Not all of us get to find it due to circumstances and so on, but it’s there nonetheless. God has given each of us a calling and a predisposition and talents. When someone finds what they are to do, it’s amazing. That’s my theory. —Continued on the blog
