      It's an underrated movie.
      I can understand Channing Tatum, but I always thought Ryan Phillipe was a good and well-liked actor.

        Pretty good movie a bit on the syrupy side but you expect that from Disney. I saw the original from the '50s for the first time about a year ago and it definitely wasn't all saccharin as the Disney remake but you could see the basis for what Disney did.

            Yep from 1951 the team that gets help from God are the Pittsburgh Pirates. Interestingly they probably need God's help today 60 years later!

              I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know this either. It's almost sad that it's not an original classic.

              Although, who knew that JGL would be fighting in rotating hallways 16 years later?

                Saw The Ides of March a few days ago. Great performances, but the story was pretty poor.

                  I always found it hilarious that Disney very obviously made this remake because they were a huge figure in the Anaheim franchise.

                      Oh, yea, that too. That one was even worse.

                        But still awesome, even if the Flying V was probably an illegal manuever.

                          The Last Circus

                          Well I'm pretty sure it's the first romcomdramedythrilorror movie I've seen. A couple of lines in the first 10 minutes pretty much made it worth watching for those alone. The lead female also makes it worth watching. Imagine Beauty & the Beast,Phantom of the Opera and Pagliacci combined,half directed by Shakesphere and the other half directed by Rob Zombie.

                              Dazed and Confused - Of the "last days/week" of high-school films (namely Fast Times and American Graffiti), I think this is the best. It is an awesome movie. I love the way that it links all these crazy stories together as the story is basically developed around how these kids hung out back then as it switches between cars at meet-up spots. Ben Affleck is great in this and probably my favorite role of his because its okay to hate him in this movie because he is just being himself - a total and complete tool. Matthew McConaughey is just superb. There is something sad, but ultimately cool about his character.

                                Dazed and Confused is a very good movie. I would highly recommend it. They captured that era perfectly.
