Year: 1999
Director: Oliver Stone
Plot: Oliver Stone takes on professional football, a sport whose grace and delicacy are a good match for his filmmaking style. Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino), the head coach of the Miami Sharks, won back-to-back championships four years ago. But new team owner Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz) has little enthusiasm for the finer points of the game and is concerned only with the bottom line. The longtime strongman of Tony's team has been "Cap" Rooney (Dennis Quaid), a 39-year-old quarterback, but Christina balks at renewing his contract. When Cap is injured during a game, third-string rookie quarterback Willie Beaman (Jamie Foxx) goes on in his place and becomes a major star. But Beaman is mostly interested in fame and money, and he has little regard for Tony and his teammates. Any Given Sunday also stars James Woods as the team's doctor, LL Cool J as a star running back, Jim Brown as a former football great turned Sharks' defensive coordinator, Ann-Margret as Christina's alcoholic mother, Bill Bellamy as a wide receiver, Elizabeth Berkley as Tony's favorite prostitute, and Charlton Heston as the football commissioner. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Body: As you must know by now, I'm an emphatic supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton. And despite what the mainstream media is saying right now, I still believe that Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic Party's nominee and our next president.With that said, I can still appreciate good YouTube videos, even those that poke fun of my girl.Like this one from v-blogger LisaNova, described as "a biting parody of Sunset Blvd starring Hillary Clinton as the faded film star. In her fantasy world, the stairs in Hillary’s home become the stairs in the White House, and an amateur interviewer becomes Anderson Cooper. It’s worth watching for LisaNova’s over-the-top, hammy acting alone."Hillary's Sunset Blvd: The Original Ending Scene: Oh, yeah, and I have a list of films featuring Hillary Clinton here.And for Hillaryfans out there who are feeling discouraged, this one goes out to you.

Body: The high-quality magazine FHM has come out with a list of 10 of Al Pacino's Greatest Rants... And here it is:10. HeatMichael Mann’s classic crime drama casts Al Pacino as a Los Angeles detective trying to prevent a bank heist. He attempts to gain leverage over the wife of one of the robbers by going after a salesman with whom she’s been having an affair. When the chump asks himself why he was dumb enough to get mixed up with her, Pacino makes it clear—she’s got a great ass! Ferocious, isn’t he?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlXpX3o3W2Q9. Carlito's WayAl Pacino’s first collaboration with director Brian De Palma since Scarface wastes no time giving fans what they want—a rant. As convicted drug dealer Carlito Brigante, Pacino is released from prison on a technicality but wishes to assure the court and the district attorney (James Rebhorn) that his dealing days are done. This rant stands out as one of the very few times where Pacino calmly executes a verbal ass-tearing without raising his voice.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4qZX9mJp7Y8. Dick TracyProving a Pacino rant has its place in any cinematic setting, the legendary actor lays down gangster-land law as Big Boy Caprice in 1990’s comic-strip flick Dick Tracy. When all the major heads of the city’s crime families come together to hear Big Boy’s pitch for a unified organization, he offers a convincing explanation of why “it only works if we’re all in.”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhgXWjUZIvE7. Dog Day Afternoon“Attica! Attica!” One of Pacino’s earliest films introduced the world to his unparalleled ranting ability. During a bank robbery where everything goes wrong, he finds himself in a standoff with the police. With no way out, he does all he can to rile up the crowds of people gathering outside in hopes of gaining the sympathy of the masses.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oidSW_G67E6. Any Given SundayOne of the longest standing clichés of the sports movie genre is the inspirational locker-room speech. What sets Coach Pacino’s pep talk apart from all the others is the way he tears everything down, himself included, and then builds it all back up again. He isn’t preparing a team for a game—he’s preparing them for all-out war.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rFx6OFooCs5. The InsiderBased on a true story, The Insider stars Pacino as a 60 Minutes producer who is attempting to air an interview with an ex-tobacco executive despite fierce resistance from the higher-ups. When the threat of a lawsuit looms over CBS, he is ordered to cut an alternate version of the story. As you may have guessed, he’s not having it. This scene features Christopher Plummer, who holds the honor of being the only person to ever take the wind out of Pacino’s sails while he’s on a rant.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIjpP-XngKA4. The Devil's AdvocateIn this 1997 flick, Pacino plays a wealthy New York lawyer — who is actually the devil. Big surprise, huh? In his attempt to win Keanu Reeves over to the dark side, he delivers this impassioned speech against his Lord and Creator. Sympathy for the Devil? It’s tempting, but the whole ‘eternal damnation’ thing probably isn’t as cool as he makes it sound.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdam7qQMkzs3. ScarfaceEven larger-than-life cocaine czars find themselves stuck in a rut every now and again and ask themselves, ‘Is this it?’ They never seem to realize that the only place to go from the top is down—at least not until it’s too late. Of course, Tony Montana could blame his depression on the ruthless life of crime he leads. Instead, he blames everyone at the restaurant he’s eating in for not having the guts to be what they want to be.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4K9u08iIK02. Scent of a WomanThis climactic scene immediately struck a chord with every high school kid who ever harbored a desire to unleash a flamethrower on their school. It also proves that Al Pacino, even blind and drunk, is better to have in your corner than a rich father. Also notice that Pacino is once again pitted against James Rebhorn, whom many people will recognize as “that guy who always plays a jerk."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqsf0XynGz81. Glengarry Glen RossWhen top salesman Ricky Roma (Pacino) comes into work on Monday morning to find that the place has been robbed, it doesn’t upset him terribly. At least not until his idiot manager (Kevin Spacey) blows a big sale for him by saying exactly the wrong thing to a nervous client. The verbal tirade that ensues is nothing short of spectacular.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HURJNd0J4U

Body: I wanted to like this film, I really did. It was about pro football, had Camereon Diaz in it and Al Pacino, but at the end of it, I still felt like I was the one that got juked by a head fake. The story unfolds around an emerging star quarterback and a coach trying to control him. Unfortunately, Diaz's character just seems to get in the way. Her insatiable quest for power feels fake and made me feel like she was just reciting lines. Pacino brings his usually intensity, but doesn't have any break out moments like he does in most of his films. While normally I'm not a huge fan of Oliver Stone's to begin with, I do think he had much better films then this. The movie leaves some loose ends and puts too much focus on one game instead of the dark sub-plots. For a serious look at the NFL, it was an OK film, but overall a pretty average experience.
