Miracle

Miracle. What an enjoyable feel good kind of movie. The movie really captured for me the feeling of 1979/1980. The cars, the hair, and the news all seemed so real to me.

One of the characters in the movie Buzzy Schneider, a FOAR (Friend Of A Relative), is played by his son in the movie. How cool is that?

Even though I knew how it would end, I still felt a lot of the edge-of-your-seat excitement about the game with the Russians. I was worried the movie would be a rehash of the "Bad News Bears" but it wasn't, thankfully. O.K. so the movie won't provoke a lot of intellectual discussion, and it isn't a life changing ... but it was a lot of fun to watch.

Kurt Russell also nailed a Minnesota accent. What a great performance. You wouldn't know it was the same guy as in Overboard.

One song that stuck out for me on the soundtrack was (Don't Fear) The Reaper, by Blue Oyster Cult. I didn't realize this song was released in 1976, for some reason I thought it was a song from the early 80's. Learn something new every day.
