The Rocket

The Rocket

As a young boy from blue collar Quebec, Maurice Richard had a dream to play in the National Hockey League. Beneath his soft spoken, working class exterior burned a tenacity and passion that transformed this young factory worker into The Rocket.In the 1950’s pre helmet days of hockey, The Rocket played with a finesse, speed and conviction which made him a legend. A man of the people, denied equal rights in a culturally divided nation and ridiculed by critics as too frail to play hockey, Maurice Richard defied all odds to become the first player to ever score 50 goals in 50 games. This is the extraordinary true story of the man whose tireless fight on and off the ice ignited and forever changed a generation.

4 Stars slick flick
This was a good movie whether you’re a hockey fan or not. It was a great story and the detail in making it seem like it was really in the 1950’s was unparalleled.

5 Stars A Must Have Movie For Any Hockey Fan
Maurice Richard is arguably one of the greatest if not greatest individuals to play in the NHL. Maurice Richard was the first to score 50 goals in one season (the 1944-45 NHL season), doing so in 50 games, and the first to score 500 goals in a career. He finished his career with 544 goals in the regular season, with 82 in the playoffs which included a record six overtime winners and led the league in goals five times. He also amassed 421 assists for a total of 965 points in 978 games.

The Rocket chronicles Richards voyage to NHL. It is a wonderfully constructed film that allows viewers to experience the struggles of a man whose dream is to play for the Canadians and eventually become a legend. The film is fairly family friendly (some mild language and smoking) and can be viewed in either English or French. It is a must have for the library of any hockey fan.

4 Stars wonderful
It’s a step in the past of hockey history….I was very touched by watching this movie.

[...]

Can reccomend it to all hockey lovers.

5 Stars The Rocket
The Rocket was a great depiction of what it’s like being a French Canadian and the discrimination that went with that. He was a great hockey player who had to overcome prejudice and jeering because his English wasn’t very good. There are fine hockey moments depicted in this film and it’s a must see for all hockey fans. Very well written and very well performed.

5 Stars Memories
As a young boy growing up in Toronto, watching this movie gave me goose bumps. It brought back wonderful memories of the times my father would take me to the games at the Maple Leaf Gardens. A Toronto Maple Leafs fan for sure, but Montreal was a very close second. No other game at the Gardens matched the rivalry and intensity that was created when Montreal came to town. And to sit and be awed at watching the greatest of all hockey players. Very few, even by todays standards, could take a puck from his own end and burn his was up the ice with nobody touching him let alone stopping him. It was pure hockey poetry in motion.

A truly great movie that showed the frustration of his life both on and off the ice. A movie that I will never tire of watching over and over again. Because every time I watch it, I will be brought back to the Gardens when I had the thrill of watching him play. Maurice Richard…the greatest of hockey players. There will never be and has never been a player to match him as far as I’m concerned…even the great Gretsky. A 10 minute standing ovation is further proof of that when fans, particularily French Canadian fans, had an opportunity to give back to him for all what he gave to them. A great hockey player and a great man.

5 Stars The Pursuit of Happyness for PSP
I love these PSP movies, I spend a lot of time stuck in places where I have nothing to do and these really make the time fly by.

5 Stars Great movie - more UMDs needed !!
This film is as good as everyone proclaimed, and great for teens with PSPs instead of the usual action gore and violence. Therein lies the problem, though — Amazon needs to stock more UMD films that everyone might like for their PSPs….

5 Stars great movie. great price.
This is a great movie for a great price. It’s kind of a tear jerker. Will Smith and his son have an outstanding performance.

Barefoot Running Shoes?

I haven’t jogged in more than twenty years but I’m ready to put on barefoot running shoes and hit the hills. Why? What’s got into me? Why am I now “born to run”? And why barefoot?? I’ve been reading the most riveting, stimulating, adventurous, outrageous, mind altering, fun, shocking and simply unbelievable book of 2009. I’m talking about Born to Run by Christoper McDougall. The thing is, well, hypnotic. It’s the true story of the Tarahumara , a peace-loving small group of mega-d

The Thank You Jacket

One way to attract money or attract wealth (or attract anything else) is to practice gratitude and appreciation so you can experience transformation right now. The following true story illustrates what I mean… Six months ago I ordered a handmade leather fanny pack from I Medici Firenze , a store in Chicago that sells goods from Florence, Italy. The item had to be specially made for me, since at the time my waist was bigger than the average fanny. There were numerous delays, and by the
