Family Tensions Run High on Friday Night Lights

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is a good movie that illustrates the pressures to excel in high school sports.
Review: Based on a book by author H.G. "Buzz" Bissinger, Friday Night Lights is a movie about an Odessa, Texas high school football team, its players, coaches, and families and how football affects their every day lives. This sports film takes a look at the...

In Quest Of The Perfect Season

Date of Review:  Oct 17, 2004
The Bottom Line: The eyes of Odessa are upon the Permian Panthers.
Review: High school football fans all over the United States often dream of the perfect season. My high school was fortunate to have one of those in the years I was there. The perfect season for Coach Gary Gaines, though, was more than just a dream; it was...

Friday Night Lights - high school football - the good and bad

Date of Review:  May 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you enjoy human interest stories (especially ones based on real events), this is a really good movie.
Review: One of the football players I teach told me to be sure to watch "Friday Night Lights." He said it's one of his favorite movies of all time. Students don't often give me movie suggestions, and when they do, I'm usually impressed. This time was no...

MOVING STORY OF THE PRESSURE ON STUDENT ATHLETES

Date of Review:  Oct 11, 2004
The Bottom Line: Life as it exists in high school athletics is portrayed to perfection.
Review: Having grown up in Odessa, Texas and moving back there after law school, I have been closely associated with Permian High School's football team for over 40 years. I "played" junior varsity, sent two children through the school from 1987 to 1995 and...

Friday Night Lights, Movie Night Apathy

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2004
The Bottom Line: There was no joy in Odessa, their mighty movie has struck out.
Review: Living in a town that revolves around sports is a unique experience. Every action is judged on two levels - its worth and its impact on the team. People who flunked basic math classes are somehow able to calculate fielding percentages to three...

Nothing New here, Lights is a dull and uninspired ripoff of better football films.

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: A bland and dull mess that takes the best material from past films and fails on all aspects.
Review: For many small towns in America, the rituals surrounding football season have become so ingrained into the fabric of local society that all aspects of life revolve around the game each Friday.

One prime example of this is in the town of...

One of the Best Sports Movies in Years

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: Friday Night Lights is a rare breed: a sports movie that's not about sports at all. That's the biggest compliment I can give it.
Review: Friday Night Lights is one of the best sports movies in recent memory. I say that not on a high from the film's heart-pounding football action, but from what most sports movies are missing these days: attention to characters. Because this is,...

The Moose Hole - Dim the 'Lights'!

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: The story for Friday Night Lights, regardless of whether it was good on print or in real life, is an absolute abomination on screen, plain and simple.
Review: There are numerous genres and film concepts that Hollywood rarely touches, some of which have changed the minds and perspectives of the studio executives with their recent, and ultimately shocking, successes. The pirate genre, for example, was...

What does it mean to be perfect? Friday Night Lights

The Bottom Line: Why don't you just read the review? Oh, too lazy, eh? Well, so am I...
Review: As is expected with a story such as that covered in Friday Night Lights, I have my own little personal antecdotes that relate quite a bit to this movie.

I come from the town of Alta Loma, California, located about 50 miles south of Los...
