Burt Reynolds is making a comeback

Or perhaps Mr. Burt is making a mistake rather than a comeback. He will be appearing in this spring's new movie, The Longest Yard, as the football coach of a team made up of prision inmates that play versus the guards. The tag is something like "364 days a year they're not in charge of their lives - they have 1 day a year to make up for it" during the annual guards vs. inmates pigskin game.

Um yeah. Inmates/players include Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Nelly. I saw the trailer for this movie yesterday and can't explain how bad it looked...

However, the movie I saw, Million Dollar Baby, was so good. Reminded me of American Beauty, not that it's at all the same movie. But when you see it you totally understand why everybody's been talking about it and it's up for so many awards. I highly recommend seeing it.
