Year: 2006
Director: Ericson Core
Plot: From the producers of The Rookie and Remember the Titans comes an inspirational sports drama detailing the true story of a down-on-his-luck football fan whose dreams of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of the gridiron became a once-in-a-lifetime reality when he took part in an open tryout organized by Philadelphia Eagles coach Dick Vermeil. Vince Papale (Mark Wahlberg) was a 30-year-old substitute teacher and part-time bartender who had never even played college football. When Coach Vermeil (Greg Kinnear) made the unprecedented announcement that he would be holding open tryouts for the Philadelphia Eagles, Papale would go against incredible odds to live the dream and experience every fan's biggest fantasy. With a position on the Eagles secured and a new life path forged out of little more than determination and persistence, Papale takes to the field to experience the life-altering rush of running yards as a stadium full of cheering fans burst from their seats to support the hometown hero who proved it's never too late to take control of your own destiny. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Body: Directed by Werner Herzog. Starring Christian Bale, Galen Yuen, Jeremy Davies, Steve Zahn, Abhijati Jusakul. Watch trailer Acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog returns to direct his first feature since 2001's Invincible with this dramatic action film inspired by his own 1997 documentary Little Dieter Needs to Fly and detailing the escape efforts of a German-American pilot who was taken as a prisoner-of-war after being shot down over Laos during the Vietnam War. When U.S. fighter pilot Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale) escaped death after being shot down over one of the most intense front lines in the Vietnam War, his troubles were only beginning. Subsequently taken captive by the enemy and forced to endure a harrowing stint in a Vietnamese prison camp, Dengler and his fellow captives stag a death-defying escape that would later inspire one of German's most accomplished directors to capture the remarkable tale on camera. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie GuideAn Interview with Harry Knapp about Rescue DawnPaul interviews Harry Knapp (producer, Rescue Dawn) on The Red Carpet at Starz Denver Film Festival.(11/19/2006 Starz Denver film Festival) An Interview with Jeremy Davies about Rescue DawnPaul interviews Jeremy Davies on The Red Carpet at Starz Denver Film Festival before screening Rescue Dawn.(11/19/2006 Starz Denver Film Festival)

Body: It happens eventually to every filmmaker and actor associated with R-rated movies*, and now Eli Roth, the “torture porn auteur” who gave us Hostel and Hostel II, is making the transition to family-friendly fare — in order to make the kids happy, of course. No, it has nothing to do with the money, which comes more easily with younger-targeted, lower-rated releases (especially when your last movie disappoints). It has to do with the realization that kids don’t have enough movies made for them, and they’d apparently like to see what Eli Roth’s talent is like. Only, up until now, they haven’t been allowed. As Roth defends the move: “Everyone I know has been saying ‘When are you gonna do a movie my kids can see?’ And finally, I’m gonna make a movie that 13-year-old kids can see.” The movie, which Roth is still scripting, is described as being inspired by Cloverfield and Transformers, with all the “mass-destruction” and “chaos and pandemonium” that would entail. But it won’t be too scary, as it’s being planned strictly to receive a PG-13 rating. Roth says he feels “like he pushed the violence in R rated movies about as far as [he] can push it,” and that he’s “bled out.” However, he isn’t completely done with the gore and promises that the unrated DVD version of this planned PG-13 movie will feature some gratuitously violent scenes shot specifically to be left on the cutting room floor. Hey, as long as the hypocritical studios allow it, that’s a brilliant idea. * Here’s a sampling of others who did it for the kids: Mark Wahlberg on making Invincible: “It’s a movie my kids can see - my nieces and nephews. I haven’t had that. None of my nieces and nephews have seen Boogie Nights, thank God! I haven’t made too many PG movies.” (via IMDb/WENN) Jodie Foster on making Nim’s Island: “I was dying to do something lighter and I was excited about a movie my kids could see.” (via Just Jared) Gary Sinise on making Mission to Mars: “I can take my kids to it and that’s a nice thing to be able to do. They’ve been asking me when I’m going to do something that they can see.” (via The Cranky Critic) The Rock on making The Game Plan (by way of reporter Marshall Fine): “Meanwhile, he’s just happy he’s finally made a movie that his 6-year-old daughter can see (”She sat all the way through it,” he notes). Like Joe in “The Game Plan,” Johnson found that parenthood required adjustments to his life that he never imagined himself making.” (via NY Daily News) Gary Oldman on making Lost in Space: “I wanted to do a movie my son could see.” (via Entertainment Weekly) Vin Diesel on making The Pacifier: “I needed to do a film that my niece and nephew could see. I needed to do a film that my godchildren could see. I needed to do a film that would dispel the fact that the only movie I’ve ever done was “Iron Giant” for these toddlers.” (via MTV) Originally posted on:SpoutBlog

Body: I accidentally caught this at the theater this weekend and thought, huh, I have no interest in this film. BUT if anyone who liked football was watching it, he or she would most likely enjoy it. There were a few moments that were enjoyable, as far as characters, theme or rags to riches, but I can't say that I would watch it again. Football fans and Mark Wahlberg fans, give it a whirl. Non-football fans, save your bucks for something else.
