Glory Road and Prime

Two movies watched. Glory Road is about a basketball coach and his team in Western Texas. The coach of course recruits african-americans for the team in a time when it was contraversial, meaning it is indeed a Disney movie after all, with a moral and all that. Since I do like the sports type movies, it was very good, and I liked the basketball - so it was all in all a winner. Recommended.

The second movie, Prime, has Uma Thurman and Meryl Streep. The character Uma Thurman plays essentially falls in love with a 23 year old, the son of her psychariast (Streep), and Uma's character is 37, so the movie is really about love, age differences, etc, and the ending is quite sad and touching all at once. Funny at the right times, not a tear-jerker, but sigh-ful, and it's done very well. Recommended.
