I ended up seeing this movie because Oblivion was sold out..and I'm glad I did. This movie is about very large corn farmers who have been in the business for generations and have had to do everything to survive. Dennis Quaid is in one of the best roles of his career as a farmer in charge of nearly 4,000 acres and the top seed-selling business in the state. He's in it to win at any cost, whether it's farming, selling seeds, or buying additional acres at funerals from vulnerable survivors. Zac Efron plays the son who doesn't want to inherit the family business. He tries his hand at car racing, but it's in his blood and he just can't escape the farming business. This is a fully charged drama that will keep you interested throughout. It's well paced and well done. I enjoyed it and was grateful that my first-choice movie for the night was sold out. ...(read more)

This movie is based on a true story about an adventure undertaken by Swedish explorers to prove that the early people of Peru (Tiki's people) road an ocean current for 100 days and settled in Polynesia. It was a far-fetched notion back then, but they took to sea in a raft and proved it. As you can imagine, there were some amazing challenges being at sea for 100+ days, not least of which is that sharks accompany them throughout the journey. There are some very thrilling scenes with sharks and terrible storms throw them around the ocean. I enjoyed this movie and was very entertained throughout. I think anyone who likes adventure movies, especially ocean adventures, will be thrilled from start to finish. The fact that it really happened was an added bonus. ...(read more)
