New movie coming out this weekend ..Madison

[78Southwind]

Some of you probably already know about this movie but I am sure some of you don’t so here we go. The movie is call Madison and is based on a true story of an all-volunteer racing team from Madison beating hydroplane racing's best teams. The movie seems like it would be a good family movie. Here is the link to the web site http://www.madisonmoviedownloads.com or just watch the trailer by clinking on the banner in my signature.

I saw your sig earlier today and watched the trailer 3x. Me and the family want to go see it, but it doesnt seem to be in any theatre. It is weird, this movie has not been promoted at all, but there are some big time actors in it. Whats the deal with this?

Don,
I am trying to figure it out myself. I called the number for group sales (562-943-5808) yesterday and all I got was an answering machine. I left a message and haven't gotten a call back yet. :cry:

Hi everyone!
Thought I'd post this review that appeared in my local paper.
I think this review was syndicated in many newspapers.
Obviously this Anita Gates B**ch doesn"t appreciate fast
boats the way WE do!
I had to look up the definition of "Cloying"
It means: disgusting or distasteful by reason of excess
also : excessively sweet or sentimental. (Basically... "overkill")
Here's the review!
'Madison' celebrates small town, boat racing.
By Anita Gates
The New York Times
It's not every day that a mechanic gets to be a movie hero. The last one may have been Joe Patroni (George Kennedy), who pulled a Boeing 707 out of the snow in "Airport" (1970). But Bruce Dern, as Harry Volpi, is a dashing figure arriving to save the day in "Madison," a sentimental film about hydroplane racing that opened Friday.
"Madison," in the tradition of "Chicago," "Fargo" and "New York, New York," is a movie named for a city - in this case, Madison, Ind., population 13,000 or so, on the banks of the Ohio River. In 1971, Madison's economy, based on waterway shipping, is shot. All it has left is its tradition of hydroplane racing, and when it has the chance to play host to the Gold Cup race, there are four big questions: Can the town come up with the $50,000 prize money? Does Miss Madison, the community-owned boat whose crew is managed by Jim McCormick (Jim Caviezel), a heating and air-conditioning repairman, have any chance to win? What will Jim have to do? And how will it all affect his son, Mike (Jake Lloyd, aka Anakin Skywalker of "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace")?
"Madison" wants to be both heartwarming and quirky but is sometimes just cutesy instead. A baby girl's first word is "Agnew." An elderly white man and an elderly black man argue about which racing date over the decades was best (1962? No, it rained). William Bindley, the director, who wrote the screenplay with brother Scott Bindley, takes the position that big-city people disdain small towns just for being small. The Budweiser and Atlas Van Lines racing teams, as well as the television news people, are portrayed as openly condescending.
The peculiar thing, from an urban perspective, is that while the film, based on a true story, celebrates the peace, quiet and charm of small-town life, it also revels in the thrills of a super-noisy high-speed sport. Only moviegoers who care about nitrous-oxide injection systems or Madison itself are likely to appreciate it.
MADISON
Our rating:
(PG: mild profanity and a couple of fatal explosions)
Starring: Jim Caviezel, Jake Lloyd, Mary McCormack, Paul Dooley and Bruce Dern.
Director: William Bindley.
Running time: 1 hr. 45 min.
Playing: Pacific's Winnetka Stadium 21, AMC Town Center 8 in Burbank and Mann Criterion 6 in Santa Monica.
In a nutshell: Alternates between heartwarming and cloying.
