Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
ecross1-1 This show is a new reality show with boisterous and sometimes quite controversial coach Bobby Knight. It takes sixteen teenagers in hopes of landing a walk-on spot on the Texas Tech basketball team. Only one spot is available for the team, which basically makes it of a reality-show genre. Bobby Knight is one of (if not the greatest) coach of all time and it is nice to see the other side of the angry, press-belittling side of the guy and see the great coach behind the scenes. Bobby Knight is known for his rough style of coaching, and always demands extremely hard work of his players. If you cannot meet his standards of excellence, you will most definitely be cut from the squad. This is a great idea by ESPN and I personally hope it pans out.
