I think it is. Well, it's atleast the best basketball documentary. I saw it a few months ago and i really really liked it. The movie has a lot of heart. And it's interesting to see what the people featured in the movie are up to these days.

Edit: For people who've seen it, read about what the people featured in the movie are u to these days: http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dy ... ge=printer

Watched Red Eye last night, Rachel McAdams is indeed nice, not uber hot, but nice none the less. Cillian Murphy is fucking creepy. Plainly creepy. Creep.

Also watched Brothers Grimm, expected a whole lot more. Monica Belucci's a hottie though. :drool:

I like him, for a young actor. See him in "Girl With A Pearl Earring". (Y)

Oh, I've seen that movie. Time pass, notebook was similiar with the memory loss thing but much more powerful. Besides, Rachel McAdams > Drew Barrymore.

At first I thought you were talking about the Barrymore/Fallon flick. About him being a fan of some team.

Oh , Fever Pitch , I saw that one too , it sucked . I still want to see the notebook , heard it was great .


Is the movie Spanglish any good? Adam Sandler and Tea Leoni star in it. Or should I watch Beetle Juice?

Spanglish is pretty watchable, Beetlejuice was...well Jae summed it up nicely. Weird.

Besides, Winona Ryder is a moron.

Fuck Tea Leoni, Paz Vega has the bigger/meatier role & she does well. A bit skinny, but I'd hit it.

I'm watching Spanglish , its not that bad , but I imagined it being a comedy . I though it would be funnier , hopefully it gets funnier only 30 minutes have gone by. Plus the lady is pretty hot.

It's a bit of a comedy drama, it's subtle comedy though, compared to Sandler's previous movies.

As I said, Paz is a hottie.

Finally watched the 40 year old virgin... it's pretty good, not as good as Wedding Crashers but good all the same. There's some awesome lines in that movie, though mostly from the dude's friends. They were the highlight for me.
