...doing the gecko Geico ads), not the quintet of credited writers (Jeff and Craig Cox, Busy Philipps, John Altschuler and David Krinsky), certainly not Ferrell - is even remotely trying to make a great film. It has the slapdash air of a movie that was a little more fun to shoot than to watch. To say that Blades is a little sharper than Kicking and Screaming, but not nearly so smart as the best parts of Talladega, is like taste-testing a Big Mac against a Whopper and a Wendy's Classic Double. In other words, Blades an acceptable Friday evening...
...folk wisdom that kids are worse off than their forebears. Our ancestors surely thought the kids just didn't rip the hides from big game with the same skill as Grandpa. Now we think teens are wastrels who get high on OxyContin and rouse themselves only to shoot up a school or update their MySpace profiles. But there's strong evidence that U.S. adolescents are actually getting smarter--or at least making better decisions. Could the teen brain be evolving...

That information also gives Swagger a rare ally (pretty, stalwart Kate Mara, who played Heath Ledger's daughter in Brokeback Mountain) once he's on the run from Washington, D.C., to Tennessee...
...just a few seconds left in the game, the opponent needs a long-distance three-point shot to tie it up. So, it would stand to reason, you should prevent the other player from taking that potentially heart-breaking heave by fouling him before he has a chance to shoot the ball. In the college game, that usually sends the opponent to the line, forcing him to make the first free throw, and then miss the second one intentionally with the faint hope of grabbing an offensive rebound and tying the game before the buzzer sounds.
