Movie to reconsider ::::: Steel Toes- Enterpolics at its best
Steel Toes and Broken bones
Coping with hoping and misguided focus
Soldiers, Toasting and stoned
Backlash for what they know not
open to corruption, poking at atonement
From hatred and defacement
Love is the only thing that's adjacent
Lets trace it, Jesus made it sacred
Believing in Christ then you should always believe in ALL LIFE
-Kem Moseley
Steel Toes
Steel toes is a great piece of cinema and I am pleased to say that I have not seen filmmaking of the sort for some time now. No fillers, pure writing and acting. Starring Andrew Walker and David Strathairn as to opposites in this compelling film. You have a young Neo Nazi coming to terms with who he is and then you have the Jewish lawyer assisting him with digging deeper into the soul of that which is him.
If I recommend anything in this year, it is to see this film, to analyze your own lives. To promise your selves that you will do all that it takes to be a stronger cog in the wheel of peace and love for all.
Love your wives, Love your sisters, Love your Brothers, Love thy Neighbor in the next house,across the sea, and cross the boarder. Our lives as humans are contingent upon our ability to grow personally as well as socially.

"Strathairn, with his expressive eyes and tremulous voice, is good at suggesting confidence tinged with doubt, and he's well matched by Walker, who brings menace and danger to his role as the defendant."
- Toronto's Now Magazine Glenn Sumi

Strathairn is positively magnetic."
