...quarterbacks in the draft, he watched several signal callers go by ahead of him, including similarly-touted Kyle Orton of Purdue and Stefan LeFors of Louisville (both fourth round) as well as lesser-known players such as Tulsa’s James Kilian and USC’s Matt Cassel. Cassel, who saw little action as junior Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart’s backup this season for the national champion Trojans, was taken by the New England Patriots in the seventh round in a move that surprised many who predicted that Patriots’ head coach Bill Belichick...
...just seems like he’s trying much too hard to prove he’s still relevant in the age of “Jackass” and he fails miserably. This movie is a failure on every level, except for the inspired casting of Seymore Cassel as Tom Green’s rich uncle, who plays the role with an inspired wacky pizzazz.

...Malena (a darker, hornier Summer of '42), and an Italian kid skyrockets into puberty. One glimpse of her legs as she scampers out of sight, and the hero of the superb French thriller The Apartment jettisons his fiance and a good job to stalk her. Vincent Cassel, the star of The Apartment, must have felt similar stirrings. He has appeared in six more films with Bellucci. And in 1999 he married...
