Movie review thread...

If you're a rugby nut and love the ABs then Richie's movie is worth a watch. I thought they would focus more on Richie behind the scenes and what he did to achieve greatness I.E. his mental strength, drive etc but quite a bit of the movie is about the WCs.

I thought the bit where his uncle made him write down his rugby goals only to find it later and realise he'd achieved almost all of it was good
When his mate was talking about him at college, and said there were people that picked on him and said "you'll never amount to anything" - name a shame please!

Watched two very very different movies this week:
Hacksaw Ridge: Really good. Amazing story and Mel did a great job with a very limited budget. Cast was great too, especially Vince Vaughn. Even Sam Worthington managed to appear less wooden that usual. The incredible thing is that real life events were cut out because they were just too unbelievable for the screen.
Sausage Factory: Had zero expectations and was just looking for mindless entertainment after working too much. It was bloody hilarious. You always wonder with a film like this whether it can sustain itself for the full length, but the gags just kept on coming. There's always something cool and rebellious about something that looks like a kids cartoon being absolutely farking filthy. Great stuff.

It may not appeal to anyone other than NZ rugby fans because Richie is single minded, relentless, down to earth and humble. Not nearly as interesting as a tortured genius like John Daly or Andre Agassi for example
Just saw an ESPN doco about Daly. Happy Gilmour combined with Homer Simpson, Kenny Powers and Nicholas Cage's character from Leaving Las Vegas.

Did they confirm the rumour that clothing labels pay Daly not to wear their clothes?
No. I seem to recall he wears his own line. Winning two majors in and out of rehab all the time he was amazing when he was on
