The Shrine

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>25th Hour is one of the best films I've ever seen. Ed Norton is a master and his supporting cast and the direction of Spike Lee are phenominal. See this film.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Spike Lee has always turned me off, but at least he's veering away from trying to promote "the black message", so that he can actually focus on directing.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>He attacks everyone else instead of just whites in this film in Ed Norton's bathroom scene. Found that kinda interesting, but it reminded me of his other films.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>That monolouge is similar enough to one from Do The Right Thing it has to be a self reference.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Is that no one gets away clean. Everyone involved has some blame somewhere. There aren't any total good guys.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I actually got bored by it, and I really like Norton and Dawson is HOT</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Just watched it again last night. My second favorite Lee movie to He Got Game. Brian Cox should have got an Oscar for that one.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I don't remember being that impressed with his performance, but Brian Cox is always excellent. I love watching him perform.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Specifically the end of the movie. His voiceover during the last montage is pretty emotionally stirring. But now that I think about it, he wasn't really in the movie for very long.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Barry Pepper's character and Rosario Dawson's character kinda having a fling, and the whole thing about telling Ed Norton to get out when he could six months prior. Of course the school teacher and the student was a given, but I thought it was played out nicely.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>My guess was that Lee just saw American History X and thought of Norton. He was great in that movie. Hell, Capt. Sisco was good there, too.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Forgot he was even in that...man I stopped watching DS9 after Terry Ferrel left.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Yeah, I thought that was a bad move on their part, but the ending to the series was great.</div>
