"We Are Marshall"

I went to see "We Are Marshall" on the Sunday before Christmas and loved the movie. Even though it's a movie about a football team the movie is mostly about the rebuilding of a school, town and the people affected by the crash.

Anthony Mackie as Nate Ruffin is excellent as the hurt player who was unable to go to the ECU game and fought to keep the team going when Marshall wanted to do away with the program.

David Strathairn is also very good at President Donald Dedmon the none football person who ends up being a great fighter for the program and losses his job in the process.

Christian Kanupke plays Keith Morehouse the son of the announcer for the Marshall Thundering Hurd and who loves football and later becomes the voice of the Hurd.

Matthew Fox who plays Red Dawson the only assistant couch who is on the new Thundering Hurd and has to get through his own grief will couching the players who they have recruited through any means that they could.

Anyone with ties to either Marshall or West Virginia should go and see the movie.
