| | This is a queston that I have been thinking about lately, What is the Greatest Sports Movie of All-Time? Being a basketball player Hoop Dreams really won me over. This is a documentary about two 8th grade boys who try to achieve their goal and play in the NBA. The movie follows them from their 8th grade year til their freshman year in college. The boys have to overcome many struggles to try and reach their goals. This movie has plenty of ups and downs but keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next for the entire three hour movie. This would have to be the greatest sports movie of all time imo. So whats yours?
Honorable Mentions;
Remember the Titans
Hoosiers
Friday Night Lights
Coach Carter

Above the Rim Everyone knows that the best sports movie of all time is Love and Basketball. Although it isn't necessarily a sports movie it is a great love/sports movie. Everyone should watch it. Go Sanna Lathan!!!

Proffessional Basketball imo is one of the most boring sports in the world to watch. Not least because the players never drop the ball and hardly ever miss Team a has the ball dribbles and passes to other side... shoots... scores Team b has the ball dribbles and passes to other side... shoots... scores Team a has the ball dribbles and passes to other side... shoots... misses thats all that happens for the entire lengh of the match. and what is the point of cheerleaders... all they do is dance and if basketball is so good your be watchig that not the girls dancing with pompoms what a waste of money and space! When I watch movies or shows where the cheerleader all think they're 'super human' just cos they can distrac audiences from realising what there watching is more boring than the Queens annual speech! Also where is the 'foot' in American Football - or at least there shouldn't be. I'm not too bothered I just don't understand why!

Rocky is my best sports movie of all time. And SlapShot is my best hockey movie by far, hands down! Just got my hands on a Charlestown CHIEFS jersey and a Youngblood jersey... needless to say Youngblood is my second pick... All the best!

Movie Review - Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian
(5) I just got back from watching Prince Caspian, and overall I was impressed. Narnia still looks great
if you saw the first one. The movies may seem that they are going out of order, but they technically
are in order. The movies are being released in the publishing date of the books. The movie was
pretty accurate when it came to the book, but of course it had some added stuff and removed stuff. I
actually noticed that some of the script is quoted straight from the book. The movie had some
awesome special effects, especially in the battle scenes. I thought it was a very grea....

saw Iron Man and I will say this. It is in the same category with Spider-Man and X-men movies,
because it was that good, with some great comedy, great action, some emotional parts as well. I

Once
A 2006 movie about a budding love between two musicians. (0) I've recently watched a 2006 flick about two Irish musicians who fall for each other. I really
loved the screen play and the music involved. It's not something action-paced or a normal chick
flick or anything, just something romantic like P.S. I love you if anyone has seen that yet.
It's kinda slow-paced to start, but once you get near the middle it really gets interesting. The
ending however just doesn't seem right to me. If you haven't watch it yet, I advise you do

Movie Review: No Country For Old Men
(0) Well I pickup this movie the other day or more like on Monday after splurging on some new shoes and
some sandals and what not, and so yesterday I watch this movie and boy I feel sad for missing this
on the theaters. Basically Javier Bardem's character Anton Chigurh (sugar) is what made this
movie. Put it like this we all believe killer's to be insane but I think Anton was actually
sane the whole time during this movie as he killed off most of the main cast, and yes that is a
spoiler since this movie has been out for awhile now. Of course Brolin was big in this....

(0) Well it has been awhile since I did a movie review due to school and all that stuff, and with hte

movie I have to mention something that was very freaky, this artist had build a life size old man,
paper mache or maybe something else but, at first look you think it was real because how life like
it was. Also what made it even more convincing was the fact that the lighting to this sculpture hit

Epic Movie
I loved it... (4) I'm sure at least some of you know about the pardoy movie called "Epic Movie". It was from the

Narnia, except that it was called Gnarnia, but there were a lot of characters from other movies,
like Jack Sparrow, Harry Potter, Silas (from the Da Vinci Code) and Willy Wonka (from Charlie and
the Chocolate Factory). So, have you guys seen this movie? And if you have, what do you think about

Movie Review: Superbad Is Super Good
(4) Well I thought I try out the movie Superbad, and I have to say I should have seen this in the
theaters. The thing I did notice that its just like American Pie in the sense that a bunch of guys
going to get laid before getting out of high school, but thats where it ends right there. We got
drunk girls, fake ID's, fights, cops, guns, and even 70s music. I say for the most part the
scene's with the cops and Mclovin (fake ID) were the best parts, although I think they went a
bit to far with the man junk jokes went a tad to far but thats me though. Either way this....
Movie Review - Beowulf
by Saint Michael (4) Well I just seen Beowulf and I have to say it was 100 times better then the Christopher Lambert
version, still wondered why I got that movie. Anywoo if you ever read the story to Beowulf you know
are several versions to the story, and from what I saw it seems like a part of the original and
another version. It's hard to tell since its been years since I read the story although I think
this version is like 95% original version from the studio who produced it because of some of the
stuff that happen in this movie. I will state OMG on Angelina Jolie /xd.gif" style="....

here's the thing. The lead actor and I, the lead actress, are not horror-oriented. ....

entrance was pack just to see this movie, and with that being said I already give this movie
$100+ opening week/end easy. I believe every Simpson's character from all 18 seasons were

spices and filled with flavor. Unfortunately, his father sees only Remy's ability to smell
poisoned food, and he's employed as the food inspector, forced to smell garbage all day. Though

America. If you've seen the cover then I hope you know that the Manga L (Ryuzaki) looks nothing
like the one in the movie. It think they messed up the one in the movie, I know they can't look
exactly alike since this is a real movie and all but Raito (light) does look kind ....
