Gridiron Gang (2006)
Not a bad little movie! Great action...
Saw a Special Screening in Philly last night--pretty decent sports movie! And I'm not a High School football nut! Very entertaining and contains a lot of action. The Rock has come a long way since those 'Scorpion' days or whatever it was he played years back. This film actually has a good little story.
Long and short of it, the movie takes a very 2006 look at what's going on in the lives of some of America's young, urban, and mixed up youth. I cannot remember another Hollywood sports vehicle that has presented these themes in this fashion in the last 20 years.
Not a 2-D, 'I've seen this team before' movie... It wasn't the typical Disney sports flick that sometimes has a 100% rosy view of the world(not that there's anything wrong with that) :). This film does not hold back anything.
Just mixed up people, families, and situations---pretty much what happens on the streets today and whats been going on for a long time.
Don't know if the film will make it in middle America, but enough people will probably make this movie a success.
Good time...go see it for yourself!
Silver City (2004)
R rating!!!???
Can someone please explain to me how this film contains language that is different from what I hear on Network or Cable TV every night? An R rating??? Are you kidding me???!!! What did I miss that prompted this rating??? No nudity and really very little violence.
It comes down to Language? I honestly don't remember any harsh language. I remember Danny says 'S*it' when he finds out his microwave is gone. But I think many people say the same type of things in those situations to themselves...
Mr. Sayles must have been either very ticked off or very amused when he found out the rating.
What are these rating people doing? This film, although it wasn't one of my favorites from this director, scientifically PROVES Hollywood's rating system is biased and completely broken! Perhaps the 'Language' was not satirical enough? :) Unless someone can please explain to me otherwise...
