Any Given Sunday

Pros: Great message of teamwork, allows you to emotionally envision under the helmet.
Cons: Foul Language and over-rated male frontal nudity.

Deemed by some as a movie appreciated by the testosterone strong audience, I answer puh-leazze! What’s wrong with you critics, a gal can appreciate a video like this just as much as you football heroines! And now – listen my manly friends – it isn’t...

Pros: Oliver Stone's awesome visual style
Cons: The unbelievably truistic script, the wiggerlicious soundtrack

In the grand tradition of Tyler Durden and Frank T.J. Mackie, I give you the ultimate penis power spokesperson of the new millennium, Oliver Stone. Men's Journal calls him "the premier macho filmmaker of modern times." He's the main man behind...

Pros: Great acting, excellent soundtrack
Cons: A bit too long, not for non-fans

Any Given Sunday is the ultimate football movie. If you are a fan, you will love it, otherwise it could be the most excrutiating 3 hours of your life. It stars Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Quaid, James Woods, and Matthew Modine.
...

Pros: Holds attention, has Charlton Heston in it.
Cons: Employs the following criminals: LT, and Jim Brown. Highly predictable

Football is the most watched televised sport in the United States for good reason, it is the only sport fit perfectly for television. Most action takes place in a small area, and the camera angles are there to catch everything. It is a sport with short,...

Pros: Football for the MTV-minded, this is an attention-getting sports-as-warfare fable.
Cons: Too long and self-indulgent, this movie needs a live half-time show with cheerleaders and Aerosmith.

I’ve never played football.

I don’t watch televised sports.

The last gridiron action I personally witnessed was the Homecoming Game, Jackson Broncs vs. Star Valley Rams, on a freezing October night in 1980. I was a trombonist in...

Pros: Camera work is tops, realistic, good story, great acting, fun
Cons: A little long

Oliver Stone is up to his old tricks with his "out there" camera techniques, sound manipulation and his uncanny ability to portray reality as a surrealistic landscape.

When I first heard about this movie I knew I would have to see it...

Pros: An All Star Cast, Great Performances and Great Cinematography
Cons: The Plot Falls Short

Pros: Oliver Stone almost offends Coach Lombardi's Ghost.
Cons: Coach Lombadi's Ghost takes pity on Oliver Stone.

Darn, I wanted to really like this movie. I really did. After all, seeing Al Pacino play a pro football coach makes almost as much sense as seeing Robert DeNiro play a pro football coach. You know- rolling the eyes, screaming, smoke coming out of the...

Pros: It does have some cool football.
Cons: It's way too long and silly.

Plotless, rambling and indulgent, Oliver Stone's latest movie isn't completely terrible, but may stand as one of the most disappointing movies I've ever seen.

If Oliver Stone's intention was to make a movie that celebrates all the oldest and...

Pros: Awesome editing, story and soundtrack. This is what XFL should be!
Cons: Not suitable for children.

Any Given Sunday is an Oliver Stone movie of great proportions. It is the Gladiator of football movies. It is true, it is intense, and it is perfect. The movie has an all-star cast with Al Pacino, Cameron Diaz, L L Cool J, Jamie Fox, Denis Quaid and many...

Pros: Great ending, wonderful speech by Pacino
Cons: Hard to follow at times

Football is not my favorite sport, so I don't watch it often or know all the rules - I guess many of us women don't. But when dining with another couple who wanted to see this movie I couldn't refuse - nothing else interesting was playing. Plus, I like...

Pros: strong story line, well directed movie. and had some parts to make me laugh
Cons: none

Any given Sunday. This movie was pretty awesome if you are into football. This movie is about a young woman who has inherited her father's football team, and her Uncle Tony is the coach.

When the movie starts off, both the first and second...

Pros: Wonderful cinematography, great climax, leaves you gasping for breath.
Cons: Long movie, so much to take in you have to see it more than once.

I have always remembered the end of the movie “The Longest Yard”. The ending which lasted forever, and which, for most of us, has caused that movie to be called the best movie about football that was ever made.

Until now.

Any Given...

Pros: Heck of a cast
Cons: volume levels, visuals are annoying, cast underperforms

Recently, I got a new DVD player, and as such I had my first chance to rent a DVD to watch on it. I went to the local video dump, where the college students toiled through endless copies of Encino Man and Scream, to peruse their extensive...

Pros: Pacino, Foxx, And Especially Quaid give GREAT Performances, Great Supporting Cast, Non-Stop Pace Makes The Three Hours Fly By
Cons: Cameo Performance By Oliver Stone (Again), Length (Three Hours), Few Positive Characters.

On any given movie, Oliver Stone can be brilliant. On any given movie, Oliver Stone can be ridiculous. "Any Given Sunday" happens to be one of Stone's better movies since his days as director of such films as "Platoon" (his all-time...
