I thought this was kind of fun especially now that the regular season is coming to an end and playoffs are going to be starting soon. Go Flames Go! #1 in the Western conference. I'm not really a flames fan but you have to cheer for the "local" team and Jerome who used to be a Blazer! So I picked a few teams who I know are some favorites for the people who read my blog.
Vancouver
Movie: Failure To Launch
Summary: A big-ticket, big-name team panders to its ego and meanders through the second half of the year, more than likely resulting in the Canucks missing the playoffs.
Real Review: "How, exactly, did an idea with this much star power...manage to misfire?" -- Peter Howell, TORONTO STAR
Toronto
Movie: Sliding Down
Summary: A documentary whose subjects begin the film on an icy peak, only to see things go downhill from there.
Real Review: "I have a sneaking suspicion that [this] is a huge put-on, the latest jape from Christopher Guest and his merry band of mockumentary tricksters." -- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER
Ottawa
Movie: Take The Lead
Summary: A suave and debonair teacher (er, Bryan Murray) shows a group of youngsters how to set the stage on fire with slick moves and various combinations of "jazz hands".
Real Review: "An unabashed crowd pleaser that gets the job done." -- Steve Schneider, ORLANDO WEEKLY
Colorado
Movie: Rocky Road
Summary: The Avs' season was cruising along swimmingly until GM Pierre Lacroix rolled the dice in a big way, acquiring highly paid underachiever Jose Theodore from Montreal. Now there's no assurance the team will even make the playoffs.
Real Review: "May have been created out of good intentions, but then again, there's that old adage about a certain road being paved with such intentions." -- Ted Murphy, BASELINE.HOLLYWOOD.COM
Calgary
Movie: Blood Work
Summary: Flames coach-GM Darryl Sutter demands two things from his players, both of which can be found in the title of the movie.
Real Review: "Populated by hard-edged characters who brighten up a somewhat mechanical plot." -- Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
I don't know what happened to Colorado this year. Disappointing. Alex Tanguay, let me down :0( All the years I supported him as an unsung hero....
And Vancouver! So much talent gone to waste. My two favorite teams....
At least Ottawa is doing well but then you can always count on Ottawa to do well.
