	Miracle (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Miracle is a term used by adherents of many religion s for what they say is an intervention by God in the universe.
		The most obvious problem with this formally valid argument is that while the existence of miracles may imply the existence of a supernatural miracle worker, that supernatural miracle worker need not be an omnipotent, omniscient, and all-benevolent God; it could be any supernatural being.
		The idea of miracles that contravened the laws of nature were hard to accept; however, at the same time they affirmed the truth of the accounts in the Tanakh.

		Miracle is the story of his team, 20 youngsters who had never played together before, and how they made it to the Medal Round of the Olympics.
		Miracle might not have the polish or be a technical wonder, like the aforementioned Seabiscuit, but it has all the heart and then some.

	The Film Tribune - Miracle (2004) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although the hockey film compares favourably to the equestrian drama, both films have the unfortunate tendency to allegorize more than their context justifiably allows.
		The film's attempt to achieve this effect is the more disturbing by the fact that the characters' personalities and actions are by no means beyond reproach.
		Miracle is a good, and often exhilarating, film, certainly above the usual February fare and capable of competing on a qualitative level with some of the previous December's holdovers.

		Well, that's obviously an unfair question since Miracle is based on something that many remember as being both the most exciting event in the history of sports and the first time they ever saw their father cry.
		Miracle is based on the real-life struggle and triumph of the 1980 Olympic Hockey team and their magnificent season.

	Miracle (2004): Reviews
		Miracle is inspirational and uplifting -- qualities we are as much in need of today as we were during the winter of 1980.
		Miracle works best when the players are on the ice, shot in a faux-documentary style that uses the now-customary handheld cameras, fast pans and machine-gun edits.
		The best and most moving part of Miracle may be the closing credits, in which we see pictures of the actors accompanied by the names of the real-life characters they played and a strip of type that tells us where they are now.

	Miracle Review :: Hollywood.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Not only does Miracle let you relive that glorious event, it goes even further back, chronicling not only the team's history but also America's mindset during the last decade of the Cold War.
		The film focuses on Brooks, the sacrifices he--and especially his family--makes, his doubts, and his dogged mission to turn the motley crew into champions using the Soviets' techniques and combining them with the best of the Canadian and European schools.
		He tells his players he will be their coach but not their friend, and he works them to the bone until they emerge at Lake Placid a lean, mean fighting machine with enough spirit to take on the world's most formidable hockey organization--and win.

	Review: Miracle (2004) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Miracle is a reasonably straightforward re-telling of how the team was assembled, polished, and pushed into battle under the relentless domination of its coach, Herb Brooks (Kurt Russell).
		Miracle is told from Brooks' perspective, and, as a result, he's the only well-developed character.
		(The film is dedicated to the coach, who died shortly after primary photography completed.) He has a wife (Patricia Clarkson), a son and daughter, and a burning desire to lead Team USA to an Olympic victory.

	U-WIRE.com/FILM REVIEW: U.S. hockey film a 'Miracle' of a sports movie (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Miracle," directed by Gavin O'Conner, is a film based on the events of the preparation and Olympics of the 1980 United States Hockey team, which was not even predicted to be a possible medal winner.
		With the film made by Disney and rated PG, it is somewhat hard to believe that a coach as tough as nails as Brooks did not curse during the seven-month training period.
		Cahill is one of the few actors in the film who did not play hockey in real life, but he does a good job as the team's goalie, who struggles throughout the film with personal issues while trying to help lead his team to the gold.

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: The Miracle Worker (1962)
		The film has only simple and incidental special effects and no action, and yet it is as tense and riveting, and ultimately more satisfying, than the best dazzling action blockbuster of today.
		The film's best scene is right in the middle, where Annie tries to get Helen to eat with a spoon.
		The Miracle Worker is a realistic story -- a true story -- that creates tension simply by having us invest in the characters to such a degree that we couldn't bear the thought of their failure.

		The nation was looking for a distraction from world events, which included the impending threat of nuclear war, the country's hostages in Iran, and the long lines at the gas pumps.

		As the film's narration says, "Laws in virtually all of the United States prohibit any other treatment of cancer than radiation, chemotherapy and surgery, even though they are usually ineffective at best, and completely ineffective at worst.
		The film states that the two key factors that are "the underlying cause of cancer are deficiency and toxicity." A radical, organic raw vegetable juice-based diet is proposed as the primary remedy.
		One patient interviewed in the film reports a decrease of 8 cm on the first day of the therapy, with 2 cm/day afterwards.

		Film censorship was well-entrenched in New York, but it was vested in the state Board of Regents, not the municipal license commissioner.
		The Mutual Film decision gave the green light to film censorship, and in the 50 years that followed, thousands of movies were cut, bowdlerized, or outright banned by state and local censors.

	Russell a 'Miracle' in hockey film - Entertainment
		As the team's doctor mentions early in the film, "Herb has a reason for everything." And as the film progresses, the players understand this, but through much of the film, Brook's tyrannical tactics oppress the boys until they begin to rely on one another.
		The film's familial camaraderie and overt patriotism is reminiscent of John Ford ("She Wore a Yellow Ribbon," "How Green Was My Valley"), and like many of Ford's protagonists, Brooks is a flawed hero here.
		Gavin O'Conner directed the film with a classical style, showing us that realism is not always best achieved by complexity, but often through a precise simplicity.

	Miracle on 34th Street (1947) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Miracle on 34th Street" is one of my favorite Christmas movies, right up there with "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Scrooge." It is funny, touching, and fun for the whole family, being one of the few Christmas movies to be like that.
		Beginning with the scene with Kris telling a store manager that he mixed up the reindeer in a model of Santa and his reindeer, it shows that this movie is telling you to sit back and relax, because you're in for a real treat.
		"Miracle on 34th Street" is one of the best Christmas movies I've seen, and only a few Christmas movies are as good as it.

	Film & TV: The Third Miracle (Austin Chronicle . 03-06-00)
		The Third Miracle jumps into the abyss with its realistic examination of a priest who doubts his faith.
		Ironically, this priest has been called on to serve as a "postulator," a spiritual detective requested by the local bishop to investigate whether a candidate is worthy of being advocated for sainthood.
		The problem with The Third Miracle is that it is thematically ambiguous and never lays out its position on whether it thinks saints are or are not real.

		But what makes "Miracle" so good -- and so accessible, even to non-sports fans -- is the way the story is framed in the political and social context of its time.
		He was incredibly tough, driving his players to edge of their endurance, but the result was seen by many as nothing short of a miracle.
		"Miracle" serves as a fitting epitaph for the man behind one of the greatest feats in U.S. Olympic history.

	Life Is A Miracle : film review
		Kusturica's films present a former Yugoslavia that's larger than life: salt-of-the-earth types trying to make a living against the odds, grotesque villains running scams and hatching evil plans, casualties of war without a brass farthing making their own entertainment.
		Throw into any of his films the slapstick comedy, the gypsy brass bands that seem to play on every corner, the drunken lunacy, and the animals.
		Kusturica's first feature since Black Cat White Cat, Life is a Miracle blends the knockabout comedy of that film, sometimes uncomfortably, with the horror of war, though the latter is mostly only heard, not seen.

	FilmJerk.com - Film Review: "Miracle"
		Written by newbie Eric Guggenheim, the film is structured so that the thrust of the story isn’t the defeat of the Soviet Union, but how that defeat came to be.
		“Miracle” is a valentine to Coach Brooks, and a deserved one (Brooks was tragically killed last year in a car accident).
		How much is based in fact or fiction is not at issue with “Miracle.” The film is about the moment of victory, and what a beautiful moment it was.

	Film Blather: Miracle
		Miracle, a fictionalized recounting of the well-known journey of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team, seems to have the underdog formula written all over it, especially as the story famously ends with the ultimate Big Game; surprisingly, Gavin O'Connor's film breaks convention where it counts.
		Everybody who is anybody knows the tale, which could be an urban legend were it not evidently true: in an attempt to boost American morale, Herb Brooks (Kurt Russell) was hired to put together a hockey team that could compete against the seemingly invincible Soviets in the 1980 Winter Olympics on US soil.
		The vast majority of the film is dedicated to coach Brooks' team-building strategies, which consist essentially of torturing his charges until they submit.

	INSIDE HOCKEY: "Miracle" Film Review by Bobby Bryde (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Miracle depicts the story of USA's surprising triumph over the Soviet Union at Lake Placid in 1980, and is superior to the quickie Miracle on Ice (starring Karl Malden, 1981).
		Plus: The film briefly touched on what in my opinion was the most memorable moment - seeing the perplexed and astonished looks on the Soviet players as they stood at center ice watching the explosion of joy by the American players.
		First, a miracle is an event or effect that contradicts known scientific laws and is hence thought to be due to supernatural causes, especially an act of God.

	Miracle (2004) - A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review
		Based on the exciting true story of one of the greatest moments in modern history, "Miracle" is the inspiring story of the team that transcended its sport and united a nation with a new feeling of hope.
		Of course, you can’t have too much spiritual content in a film of this genre, but I think it does a fine job commenting on the sovereignty of events and the value of being united with others for a common goal.
