Sporadic reviews of movies I have seen, usually recently. The vast majority will be fluffy 'chick-flick'-type subjects.

McFarland, USA, 2.5 Stars
This is a nice Kevin Costner (For Love of the Game) sports movie that is totally predictable. It is based on a true story and has some beautifully shot scenes. While it moves along fairly well, at 129 minutes they could have cut some.
Costner is good, as is his 'wife' Maria Bello (who was also in The Company Men that he was in). The rest of the cast I was unfamiliar with, but there is good character development and they too give good performances.
It's Costner, it's sports, and it's predictable - you can't go too far wrong. I'd see it again.
