Lost in the Fog a Documentary by John Corey Rocks

Here's a rare thing: me having something good to say about something filmed. Do yourself a favor: go to this website and buy this movie. http://www.lostinthefogthemovie.com/Lost_in_the_Fog_Movie_Main_Menu.html

Why? I'll tell you why. I'm a huge horseracing fan to the point of madness but that doesn't mean I have no taste about anything horseracing related. For example, most horse race stories and movies I've seen I've been eh neutral about. Seabiscuit, the Barbaro stories, the jockey stories and movies, I'm like ok, not bad but not great either. But this movie, this movie was GREAT. Because it had the following: plot, suspense, drama, non-treacly emotion, excitement, love, horses, heroism and nothing remotely sappy or shit. No kids, no weepy teary nothing. No human interest angle crapola like they show on Derby or Breeders Cup day tv broadcasts.

It was repeat worthy; I will watch it again and again and again. If I like something I never get tired of it. This movie is a work of art!

Plus the soundtrack is like the sort of music a horse would like.
