'Remember The Titans' (PG)
The true story of a newly appointed African-American coach (Denzel Washington) and his high school team on their first season as a racially integrated unit. It's ensemble cast also features Will Patton, Donald Faison, Kate Bosworth, Ryan Gosling, and a very very young Hayden Panettiere. Yeah, it gets corny at times. But it's still a great movie that's well-acted, has thrilling football action and has a great message that it never gets heavy handed with.
DRAFT PROJECTION: Number 1 overall pick. Honestly this is my favorite football movie.
'Invincible' (PG)
Based on the story of Vince Papale (Mark Wahlberg), a 30-year-old bartender from South Philadelphia who overcame long odds to play for the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles in 1976. With Greg Kinnear as Eagles Coach Dick Vermeil and Elizabeth Banks as Papale's new coworker at the bar. The only time I've seen this was in theaters seven and a half years ago. I remember liking it and thinking that it was a fairly inspirational sports drama. Wish I could add a little bit more but like I said, it's been years since I've seen it.
DRAFT PROJECTION: Mid third round pick.
'The Game Plan' (PG)
An NFL quarterback (Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) living the bachelor lifestyle discovers that he has a 8-year-old daughter (Madison Pettis) from a previous relationship. This is another one that gets corny and it's fairly predictable, but overall I did like it. Although it has a bit of a slow start, it does get to be fairly funny and Pettis is actually really good in this. If you haven't seen it you're not exactly missing out, although if there is nothing else on TV and this happens to be on the Disney Channel, it won't waste your time. Heck, this movie is better than 96% of the content that is regularly on the Disney Channel.
DRAFT PROJECTION: Late third round/early fourth round pick.
