BTW, Longshots is going to be the biggest shame of the summer....

Posted by secretslacker Aug 20 '08, 17:30

not because it's a bad movie.. no, in fact it's really good. I just saw it for a second time because when I saw it two weeks ago it wasn't finished and it was even better with the final score... at both screenings , the audience really enjoyed it, laughing and clapping at times... sure, it's very predictable and formulaic but Ice Cube and Keke Palmer are really good and I think Dimension could have found an audience for it. Instead they're burying it, barely screening it for critics and I think the awareness just isn't where it should be (even though I have seen commercials)... so bummer for Fred Durst who's made a decent movie... this won't do much better than We Are Marshall its opening weekend.

This type of film hardly ever makes much cash. I wanted to see that *other* kid baseball movie more though and it got moved. -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 19:04
Well, I hope that if you're right (that Durst made a decent movie), it at least serves to pad the resume as far as quality is concerned, BO aside - Beryllium Aug 20, 17:56 1
- I've heard good things about Charlie Banks too, although I've never seen it. - secretslacker Aug 20, 18:01
