Thanks Dburt. I went looking for the trailer and was unlucky. I admit that I need to see "Inside Man". I saw the ending - the part in which Denzel returns home. I was impressed at the way he depicted a man returning to his home. It wasn't mushy. It reminded me of the opening scene in "Road to Perdition" when Tom Hanks was putting his stuff away before having dinner with his family. This is my issue with "X" - there wasn't enough "guy stuff" in the movie for me. It appeared in the first half of the film, and those depctions of "guy-things" seemed difficult for me to relate to. Also, I'm not sure if this (the part where he proposes to Betty over the phone in a very curt/anti-mushy way) was in "X" but I would have liked to see more things like that in the film's second half.
Guy films aren't always of the "Rambo" sort. I like Glengarry Glenross because it depicts the ways in which men have conversations. Jeff Spiccoli was a great "guy-character" because of the slacker "thing" he had going on (I've run into few women who like beer as much as guys do AND I have yet to meet a woman who has owned a bong).
"Miracle..." seems yet another film to strengthen Spike's resume of "Guy Movies." Hopefully it won't go the route of "Thin Red Line" or "Pearl Harbor" (films that I would purge from my "National Guy Movie Library" collection - I had "Thin Red Line" only to purposely loose it in a move to Atlanta).
Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come insofar as black cinema and my hope that it will defeminize itself. I'm holding out hope.
