Now yes, "Remember The Titans" is a similar story to this and I completely understand there has to be one for each sport.

But this one just had something to it that sent it down the wrong direction, a movie that should be about the uplifting story of these players was drowned out and hate took over.

The movie acts like it's brand new to have "black" starters in college, but yet JoJo White was someone they played against and he was not only an All American, he was later drafted by the Boston Celtics.

I guess it's just how they come off, as if this coach did wonderful things for "black" Athletes, but the truth is he was far from the first to start someone with a dark skin tone.

Now how I see it "Remember The Titans" is the Martin Luther King Jr. of these types of movies and Glory Road is the Malcolm X, two working for the same end result, but working in opposite directions to get it.

What we learned in "Remember The Titans" was the best player got the job, there's no difference between those kids, people are people and that's a nice way to look at it, but this movie smashed that one and looked at it as the color of your skin defines you. Which is the complete wrong message to send.

I mean the starters were only all "black" because the coach played into the race card, what about those other kids that helped them get there? They don't deserve to play because they are white, or Spanish? I don't get how that is "uplifting".

I wouldn't really recommend this movie, but Josh Lucas does a great job so do most of the students. It's just the message gets askew during the runtime that really rips what the story should have been about away and leaves you with this hateful piece of work.

In this episode M. Emmet Walsh plays A newly retired man named Jonas. He has been away from home so much he doesn't know his wife is a little crazy. In her loneliness she has befriend a lot of animals to fill her void. When she refuses to pick him over her animal friends, he takes matters in his own hands and starts taking up a new hobby and he's getting pretty good at it.

It starts off slow, but there is a lot of characterization in the first ten minutes, so don't just zone out. This was a good choice to end the season with.

But the real treat of this episode is the annoying neighbor played by Martin Garner. We all have one of those and he pulls it off perfectly. He is funny and at the same time he doesn't give away he is just there to get a few laughs.

I thought Pitch Black was an OK movie, but it took me a long time to see this sequel to it. I always liked the character Riddick, he doesn't need special powers or anything, he should just stay as he was in Pitch Black (2000). He started off that way in this movie which I enjoyed, but then he started to do things that were not in Riddick's character. He cared about people, he tried to play the "good guy." I loved when he was a bad guy, but you still wanted him to live.

I have no complaints with Vin Diesel besides the writers changed his character a little bit. Karl Urban, and Nick Chinlund did a great job as minor bad guy (in Riddick's eyes) and I wanted them to have more screen time. I liked the idea of Keith David's character Imam returning in this film, but I didn't like the whole Kyra/Jack story line. It just doesn't fit the Riddick character we met in Pitch Black.

If you don't like sci-fi movies that create a universe and put a lot of thought into it then this movie isn't for you. This is an action movie with a sci-fi surrounding, if you don't mind that then I recommend this movie for you. It's not an awesome movie, but the characters make up for what the story lacks. It's worth a look, I guess, but don't expect much.
