Hoosiers is an all-time sports film for at least 2 reasons: Gene Hackman & Dennis Hopper. These guys were the perfect pair & met at the right time in their careers- careers that were loaded with iconic films. Iβm also partial to any basketball film because itβs perfect for cinema
Greg Olsen, his father Chris Olsen, Sr. (NJ high school coaching legend), Luke Kuechly, and Jonathan Stewart coach a middle school football team together in Charlotte.
You'd think they know it all.

What's the one thing Olsen learned this season?

Mel Gibson turns 70 today.
Braveheart (1995) was only his second time directing a feature. He took on directing after the original director dropped out, starred in it himself, and ended up winning Best Director & Best Picture.
The story, written by Chazz Palminteri, is adapted from his autobiographical one-man play. His real name is Calogero Lorenzo Palminteri. Several studios approached him to purchase the film rights, with at least one offering one million dollars, but Palminteri refused to sell to them unless he could write the screenplay, and play the role of Sonny. None of the studios agreed as they wanted to hire another actor. Then Robert De Niro offered to go into a 50/50 partnership, with all of Palminteri's conditions met, as long as De Niro could direct and play Lorenzo. Palminteri agreed, and their contract was sealed on a handshake.
