Watch this!

Finding Forrester

The movie stars Sean Connery and Rob Brown. The story is set in the Bronx, and is about an intelligent black teenager, Jamal Wallace, who never took his studies seriously because he's afraid that his "brothas" from the street might make fun of him. One night, he was dared to break into the house of an old recluse played by Sean Connery. It turns out that the old man was the famous writer William Forrester, and would later be befriended by Jamal. As Jamal gets into a elite private school via scholarship, culture shock ensues as he tries to adapt to his new environment, but his friendship with the old recluse writer would help him succeed...

I've watched parts of this movie before but I always never get to start, or finish it. Now, I chanced upon it on HBO when I was browsing the cable channels (a rarity for me nowadays) this lazy afternoon. Once I tuned it, realized its Finding Forrester, and then watching for a bit... before I knew it, I was glued 'til the end of the movie! I was even half naked the whole time because I was supposed to take a bath before I tuned in on HBO! I ended up watching the whole movie with just my boxers on! Hahaha!

Great movie! ;)
