It will be interesting to see who wins Best Picture in all the upcoming awards ceremonies (Golden Globes, Oscars, et. al). With all the pictures that have been made this year, there are two outstanding films that depict truth and they are: Spotlight and The Big Short. I recently saw both.

In both, the actors played their parts so well you forget who they really were. The American public would do well to pay attention to these two movies, respectively the hypocrisy of the Catholic hierarchy and the greed of the banking wheelers and dealers.

These crimes permeate all of society. I hope everyone reading this sees these films and speaks the truth — and acts on it.

On that note, since this is my sports column, now is the time to put your eyes on the basketball season and the big NCAA. With this, we can also look at the college and university presidents who hire these coaches… Again: what is their true purpose?

As Mark Twain is quoted in The Big Short: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”
