The Comebacks


David Koechner plays coach Lambeau Fields a really bad coach who takes a job coaching a really bad football team. The goal is to make the team a success before he loses his family. I don't know if I just don't like these types of movies, but I thought this movie was so bad I shut it off half way through.

Pride


Terrance Howard plays a school teacher who, because he is African American has trouble finding a job even though he is educated. He finally gets frustrated and takes a job cleaning out an old community center, and in the process decides to fix up the swimming pool and start Philadelphia's first all African-American swim team. The team does not really take it seriously at first and so struggles to get accepted. This is an inspirational film that is really worth watching.

Facing the Giants


This is a movie about a down and out football team who looks to God to help inspire them to victory. The acting in this movie is really bad, but the moral of the story is really a good one. If you are looking for a clean movie with a strong focus on religion, then I think you will like this.

Rocky Balboa


Okay I admit when I heard there was another Rocky coming out I was expecting to hate this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. The story line is about Rocky not wanting to give up doing what he loves and teaching the new "champ" how to fight with class instead of just winning.
