127 Hours


Knoxville gets limited releases about a month after everyone else, so I was just recently able to see 127 Hours. I know everyone has already said what a great movie this is, but it really is. James Franco is simply fantastic, if he doesn't get a nomination it will be a crying shame. This is just a great story of survival, and this movie makes you feel like you were right there with him. It tells the true story of outdoors-man Aaron Ralston who in 2003 went off alone on a hike/climb in the canyons of Utah and got trapped by a boulder. It doesn't shy away from any of the details, and there are a couple of moments that are hard to watch. However, it really is a great story and Danny Boyle directs it perfectly. You feel like you've fought a war when it is over, but its worth the watch. I highly recommend seeing it if you get a chance!
