It’s a sunny weekday in beautiful New Orleans as a middle-aged, white-collar businessman arrives at his office. He settles into a chair behind his desk and ponders a song in his head. He can’t think of the words, so he calls his secretary into the office. He explains to her that he will be celebrating his young daughter’s birthday later today, and he promised to sing this song for her. The secretary smiles warmly and helps him remember the lyrics. Suddenly, horror and chaos erupt as gunfire interrupts their singing. The businessman instructs the secretary to take shelter behind his desk as he locks the office door. read the full review | |

 | | 19. Hoosiers | | | Starring: Gene Hackman Director: David Anspaugh | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/3/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | Hoosiers - DVD Review By: Pete Croatto - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 5/1/2009 5:39 PM | |
It’s very simple. When you talk about the best sports movies of all time, there is Hoosiers, and then there’s everything else. Hoosiers stars Gene Hackman as Norman Dale, a former successful college coach with a checkered past, who takes a last chance job coaching small Hickory High in 1951. Despite being located in basketball-crazed Indiana, the Huskers only have six players and they’re missing their star, Jimmy Chitwood, a troubled boy who doesn’t say much. His soft shooting touch does all of the talking. Dale doesn’t endear himself to the locals, dismissing the team’s interim coach and a player in about two minutes during his first practice. read the full review | |
