RECOUNT Movie Trailer

[RockaFowler]

I work with quite a few young people and they didn't know about this part of our history. I guess recent history isn't taught in schools. Or is it that because I live in Florida I remember this dark part of our history more than most people.

Anyway - great movie on HBO. I wish they would show it again one of these days!!

1. It is not talked about at all on the TV

So how are they to know?...if TV is their only source of information.

I remember when I was in grade school, we used to have civics class and once a week we would get My Weekly Reader which was a newspaper for kids and it would have curent events that would be discussed in class...and I bet that never happens today.

2. TV isn't the only source used by a long shot.

I know too many people who don't even watch TV these days.

5. And I am one of them.

And I don't miss it a bit...and in fact it has reduced stress in my life just by not having it on.

3. It's available on Amazon on "Instant View" if you are a Member of their Prime.

I didn't check Netflix...but, hopefully it's there also.

In case anyone is interested. Is it available FREE online, though, for those who don't have Amazon or Netflix?

4. Netflix has it on DVD if you are a subscriber. n't

6. The Great Producer, Sydney Pollack directed "Recount" and it's well worth the watch!

Keven Spacey has a star roll. It's a thriller and a tear jerker for those of us Dems who lived through it all and will NEVER forget.

R.I.P. Sydney Pollack, Dead at 73

The New York Times reports that acclaimed film director, producer and actor Sydney Pollack has passed away at the age of 73 from cancer.

The multiple Oscar winner was responsible for some of the great films of the ’70s and ’80s including the classic political thriller Three Days of the Condor and Absence of Malice, after which he produced and directed the Oscar Best Picture winner Out of Africa and the Oscar-nominated Tootsie. During the ’90s, Pollack’s films as a director were scarcer with one stand-out being the adaptation of John Grisham’s The Firm, starring Tom Cruise. The last two films he directed were the thriller The Interpreter, starring Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman, and the documentary Sketches of Frank Gehry.

Pollack was even more prolific as a producer, his most recent efforts being the HBO TV movie “Recount” which debuted last night and George Clooney’s Leatherheads, and he also co-produced Tony Gilroy’s drama Michael Clayton, also starring Clooney, which was nominated for multiple Oscars.

As an actor, Pollack appeared in many movies including one still playing in theaters, the comedy Made of Honor.
