Not the "camp" humor I thought it would be.

"There is no question but that if Jesus Christ, or a great prophet from another religion, were to come back today, he would find it virtually impossible to convince anyone of his credentials ... despite the fact that the vast evangelical machine on American television is predicated on His imminent return among us sinners." Peter Ustinov

Never to be "departed" from the pantheon of premiere American directors.

Swim team in high school meant a letter for my sweater and ignominious losses without someone else to throw the ball to or blame. Therefore, I can report that The Guardian renews all my anxieties about swimming as a lonely activity and water as a potentially inhospitable place to play. The film, expertly choreographed by director Andrew Davis, depicts the training and deployment of the Coast Guard's "rescue swimmers."

By John DeSando, WCBE's "It's Movie Time"

So trying to say something new about the recent Gridiron Gang is as tough as playing that hardscrabble high school football for convicts.
