TV Tonight: Remember the Titans

BuzzSugar — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 13:23:40 PST

When we were talking about football films the other day, several of you mentioned Remember the Titans as a favorite. Well, you're in luck: TNT is showing it tonight as a prelude to Sunday's Super Bowl. The Denzel Washington film is based on the true story of a black coach who takes over a newly integrated football team and promotes racial harmony while also leading the team to victory. To see a trailer for the film,

Movie Night: Football Films

BuzzSugar — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 10:31:07 PST

The Super Bowl is this Sunday, so let's get the couch warmed up with a Movie Night. This week's theme: football movies. These three will make for good date-night viewing, since they have a little bit of something for everyone (assuming one of you is a football fan). I could make some lame sports/love pun here - something involving touchdowns, perhaps - but "My Boys" has put me off those forever. So just grab some beer and buffalo wings and enjoy the films.

Any Given Sunday
Though it leans a little heavy on the football-as-war metaphors, Oliver Stone's over-the-top football flick is better than you might think, with chaotic cinematography, a killer hip-hop soundtrack, and a sinister normalcy holding it all together. Here, we get the first hints that Jamie Foxx can act, as he plays the young hotshot to Dennis Quaid's aging quarterback on the fictional Miami Sharks pro squad. There are plenty of quiet acting gems in the big ensemble cast, including Matthew Modine as the conflicted team doctor. Offering surprising moments of depth for what, at times, feels like a music video, Any Given Sunday will rally football fans and non-fans alike.

To see the other two,

read more Jerry Maguire Even if you haven't seen this movie, you can probably quote it, since Jerry Maguire birthed two well-known one-liners: "Show me the money!" and "You. Complete. Me." Egomaniac Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a sports agent who is all about the money but magically grows a conscience when he loses his job and falls for the sweet single mom Dorothy Boyd (Renee Zellweger). Cuba Gooding Jr. is in top form as Jerry's loyal client Rod Tidwell, who sticks by Jerry even when his career is in turmoil.
Friday Night Lights These athletes are far from the Super Bowl, but their fans are just as rabid. Before it was an outstanding TV show, Friday Night Lights was an outstanding nonfiction book following the Permian Panthers high-school football team in Odessa, TX. This nicely done film adaptation ably captures the players' personal and sports-related struggles as they carry the optimism of a hopeless town on their shoulders. A subdued and wise Billy Bob Thornton stars as coach, but the movie is most notable for its ability to make us care deeply about each of the players despite not really knowing any of them - kind of like a real football team.

Sarah Jessica Parker Wraps Up Lovelace and Returns to Her Kids - but Not the Super Bowl

Allie Merriam — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:22:00 PST

Sarah Jessica Parker left her NYC home Friday with two of her three children. Her 10-year-old son James Wilkie Broderick led the way to their car, while SJP followed carrying Loretta, one of her twin girls. It seems baby Tabitha didn't go along for the outing, but she's often seen exploring the Big Apple with mom SJP and Loretta.

Yesterday was a special occasion for the family, as Matthew Broderick's Ferris Bueller Super Bowl ad aired. However, SJP doesn't care for the Super Bowl too much. The actress, who's fresh from filming a small part in Lovelace, said recently, "I can tell you honesty, I will not be watching the football game. I have absolutely no interest. . . How long does [the game] last? Up to four hours? Really? If I had four hours of leisure time, I would watch the first episode of Luck and start the first season of Mad Men or Downton Abbey. You get my point."

Britney Spears Does the School Run With Her Bare-Footed Sons

Allie Merriam — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:16:18 PST

Britney Spears picked up her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James from a class yesterday in LA. She had her hands full as she led the boys back to their SUV. Brit is in charge of looking after the little ones since their dad Kevin Federline is off on a job in Australia. Kevin Federline's out of the hospital after a health scare on Monday, when he was taken to the doctor's with chest pains. He apparently felt ill while filming a workout session with the Australian football team Greater Western Sydney Giants for the weight loss reality show Excess Baggage. He's currently down under and being looked after by his girlfriend Victoria Prince, who's also keeping an eye on their baby daughter Jordan Kay.

Britney, meanwhile, is planning for her upcoming wedding with fiancé Jason Trawick. The pair got engaged just before Christmas, and she was quick to show off her massive new Neil Lane band that features at least 90 small diamonds. Britney's marriage to Jason will be the beginning of a new chapter in her personal, and legal, life. Once they're legally wed, the conservatorship her father established for her welfare back in 2008 will finally end.

The Full Trailer For The Dark Knight Rises Will Give You Chills

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:31:54 PST

The teaser for The Dark Knight Rises was a fun little preview of the final film in Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise, but the full trailer is the one that will send shivers down your spine. Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is featured a little, but this preview mostly focuses on the villains: Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathaway as Catwoman. I'm already loving Hathaway as an evil-doer, who hints that her motives lie in her desire to bring down the city's wealthy elite (Occupy Gotham, anyone?).

There's so much happening that the trailer barely has time to fit it all in, which means we only see brief glimpses of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard. That said, the special effects already look dazzling (including an eye-popping scene of a football field caving in), and that creepy chanting we've been hearing for months still makes my skin crawl. Summer 2012 is still a ways away, but check the trailer when you

Mark Wahlberg Brings His Cute Kids to Work in NYC

Lauren Turner — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 11:52:38 PST

Mark Wahlberg got a special visit from his children Michael and Ella on the set of Broken City in NYC yesterday. He took a break from filming to hang with his two oldest kids and even threw around a football between takes. Mark's been working on the crime drama all month, and, once things wrap up on the East Coast today, he'll take production to New Orleans. The actor has more than just his latest movie and his hit TV show, Boardwalk Empire, on his plate currently. He recently opened a burger joint with his family called Wahlburger. The restaurant is located in Hingham, MA and Mark's brother Paul serves as the chef.
