Excellent movie
Great movie, basically a coach takes over the local highschool american football team. The poor town is obsessed with the team and it is all about the kids and the coach trying to overcome the local pressure. Really gets you involved in the characters, ending is great.

The Macho Last Picture Show
Based on a true story of a season in a Texas High School's football team, mixing a documentary look with more stylised shots, this is probably the best American Football film that I've seen. If you enjoy American Football you'll love this film and if you like films there's a lot to take from this as well. Touching upon so many different themes, the film is very understated and doesn't feel like it's hammering you over the head with its script, unlike Crash. It has shades of The Last Picture Show about it, which can never be a bad thing and it's one of the best I've seen from 2005.

"A xenophobic, overblown, revenge-driven action thriller that exports the Rambo mentality to the Middle... Read more
