LA BAMBA

LA BAMBA
B
It's funny. I actually remember sitting down to watch this like in 1990 or 1991. It was either ABC or NBC or CBS that used to do "Saturday Night's movie" or something of the sort. LA BAMBA was on and I was watching it when my dad came in and wanted to watch some sort of race instead.
So here we are nearly 30 years later, and I finally sat down to watch it! Yea!!
I thought Lou Diamond Phillips was brilliant. Took the role and ran with it. Did an excellent job of capturing Ritchie Valens movements, mannerisms and demeanor.
The story was good. Simplistic yet inspirational and motivating.
The music was really good.
