The Shawshank Redemption - Movie #1 - 7/28/2010


Challenge Number - 1/250
Date Watched - 7/28/2010
Moleman's Rating - 9.8

Well the members of IMDb are super freaking smart. This has been my all time favorite movie for years. This movie was available to watch instantly on Net Flix (as well as about 60 other flicks).

The love of my life Sami had never seen this movie!! Can you belive it?? So I started off this challenge the best way I know how - with her cuddled up next to me. (I've decided that even if I've seen the flick before I have to rewatch it within the year time frame for my challenge).

One of the reasons that I love this movie is because of how great it is to watch people react who are watching it for the first time (if you can find them). It was no exception with Sami and she definitely really enjoyed it.

I've seen the movie at least twenty times and it wasn't until writing these reviews that I learned that the movie is based a short story by Stephen King called "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption".

In my opinion it was both Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman best film. And that is saying a lot because Morgan Freeman was also terrific in the movie Se7en (which I'll review later) - released the year after Shawshank.

Well, since I've got 249 more of these to go in the next year I'll keep them short. And here is a random photograph from my collection as promised.
