Reilly plays Dale Doback a terminally unemployed forty-year-old who lives with his father Robert (Richard Jenkins). When Robert and Nancy marry and move in together Brennan and Dale are forced to live with each other as step brothers.

It has fun with stereotypes of the sort of people involved with NASCAR racing. Kicking & Screaming: Welcome to that cutthroat hyper-competitive do-or-die sport of...little-league soccer; a world where kids and their victory-crazed suburban parents find themselves on a high-stakes collision course-all in the name of good clean athletic fun. At the epicenter of this overzealous world is Phil Weston ((Will Ferrell) a gentle New-Agey vitamin salesman who by default ends up coaching his sweet 10-year-old son Sam's (Dylan McLaughlin) last-place team the Tigers. This would be tough enough for the super-supportive Phil who truly believes it's not whether you win or lose but if your soul gets nurtured. But when he's pitted against his gung-ho relentlessly competitive father Buck (Robert Duvall) who coaches his own young son Bucky's (Josh Hutcherson) top-ranked team the Gladiators a lifetime of putting up with Buck's overbearing ways finally takes its toll on Phil and well...the balls hit the field. Eventually as Phil and Buck go head-to-head for the soccer league championship the pair's past and constant rivalry spins wildly out of control forcing each to stop at nothing to ensure a winning season. This includes a now-maniacal Phil recruiting the world's best assistant coach the legendary Mike Ditka (played by none other than Mike Dikta) as well as two young Italian soccer prodigies who become the Tigers' secret weapons. Can father and son put their rocky past behind do what's best for their own children (and grandchild!) and realize that soccer is just a game? Not a chance! May the best coach win.

| RRP Soderbergh crafts a working-class murder mystery that's perfectly suited to its experimental purpose: Shot on high definition video, it's a riveting 72-minute exercise in minimal style. The odd friendship between young Kyle and middle-aged Martha, who work in a night-shift job a doll factory, is disrupted by the hiring of Rose, a pretty young woman who befriends them both. When Rose and Kyle start dating, relationship dynamics crumble, leading to a act of violence that obliterates their daily routine.

At a neighbourhood karaoke bar, friends and family gather to remember a young man who passed away. Knowing little about his final days, they attempt to reconstruct his life. In the process, they offer a window onto their own lives, an evocative picture of working-class America, dislocated from the progress and mobility around them, but united in pursuit of a shared dream. Exquisitely shot and employing surprising documentary techniques, Putty Hill is one of the most exciting American indie films in years.
Deep Blue Sea / Space Cowboys / Sphere | DVD | (08/10/2001)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP With a voracious trio of mako sharks wreaking havoc, Deep Blue Sea dares to up the ante on Jaws, but director Renny Harlin trades the nuanced suspense of Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster for the trickery of the digital age. In other words, why build genuine terror when you can show ill-fated humans getting torn into bloody chunks? It's inevitable that Saffron Burrows should end up in her underwear like Sigourney Weaver in Alien, but even then the movie offers a credible reason for the strip-down; that Deep Blue Sea can be simultaneously ridiculous and sensible is just another one of its shlocky charms. Space Cowboys is a slice of cornball Americana that's so much fun you'll be tempted to stand up and salute. Director and costar Clint Eastwood manages to turn what might have been ludicrous into a jubilant tribute to age and experience, and Space Cowboys succeeds as two movies in one--a comedy about retired pilots given one last shot at glory and an Apollo 13-like thriller with all the requisite heroics. Space Cowboys earns its wings, once again demonstrating Eastwood's comfort with any genre he chooses. From yet another derivative science fiction novel by Michael Crichton comes the equally derivative and flaccid movie Sphere, in which three top Hollywood stars struggle to squeeze tension and excitement out of material that doesn't match their talents. There are moments of high intensity and psychological suspense, and the stellar cast works hard to boost the talky screenplay. But it's clear that this was a hurried production (Hoffman and director Barry Levinson made Wag the Dog during an extended production delay), and as a result Sphere's look and feel is like a film that wasn't quite ready for the cameras. Though it's by no means a waste of time, it's undeniably disappointing. --Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com
