A dark and disturbing movie, based on a true story, of a high school basketball star whose life spirals downhill after becoming involved in drugs. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jim Carroll, a scrawny kid who is gifted on the court and as a poetry writer. Jim’s social structure is predominated by his… |

Was this the film that inspired the TV show ‘Friday Night Lights’? It could have been, except it has more humor and the drama isn’t as heavy.. In the big state of Texas, Football is king, it is the place where a winning team and its coach are revered, and not much else matters – including… |

Chronicle is a great blend of a high-school buddies story and a sci-fi drama/action film. Although the story is a bit of a stretch, the mere idea of inheriting superpowers has long worked as a story-line in films because, yeah – we’ve all dreamt of that. Even the beginning phases of such empowe… |

Undefeated is a bit of a misnomer – the Manassas Tigers actually lost their first football game, and by hook and by crook – coach Bill Courtney took this scrappy underprivileged neighborhood team to Tennessee greatness. Bill himself narrates, so you get his story as well as his inspirational mes… |

Cute but dated Beverly Hills high school spoof from the mid-90s. Stars Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd provide plenty of charm, but the of-the-moment slang hasn’t aged well. |

What we have here is a hard-boiled High School movie. Students in and around an underground drug ring allow Brick to revel in deceit and ironic detachment. Rian Johnson’s first movie then leavens itself through Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s romantic heroism. So what if JGL is mid-twenties posing …
