RUDY

Quality:
****
Content:
-1 Caution advised for older children, including teenagers, and sensitive adults.
RUDY is the heroic, basically true struggle of a little guy trying to reach the impossible dream of playing football at Notre Dame. Through his perseverance, he becomes a real life role model in reaching a desired goal. Regrettably, the depiction of Catholicism is somewhat skewed, although a sovereign God is implicitly extoled; and, the film is marred by some foul language, although the character using the most profanity is reformed by his girlfriend.

HURRICANE SEASON

Quality:
****
Content:
-1 Caution advised for older children, including teenagers, and sensitive adults.
HURRICANE SEASON: WALKING ON DEAD FISH is a documentary about the effects of Hurricane Katrina on some high school football players, narrated by football legend Terry Bradshaw. WALKING ON DEAD FISH is so well crafted that it could have been a drama. Writer/Director Franklin Martin builds a tremendous story of Christian faith and values, but there is some salty language.

RADIO

Quality:
***
Content:
-1 Caution advised for older children, including teenagers, and sensitive adults.

RADIO is a redemptive story starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Ed Harris about a mentally handicapped man nicknamed Radio who’s befriended by the coach of the local high school football team, Harold Jones. The great ending may bring tears to your eyes, but RADIO takes a while to get going and contains some gratuitous foul language.
