Reel Critique
A Season on the Brink
Directed by
Robert Mandel
Starring: Brian Dennehy
ESPN, Inc.
A Season on the Brink is the
first original motion picture
from ESPN and is based on the
best-selling book of the same
name by author John Feinstein.
The movie begins with im
promptu interviews of locals’
opinions of fiery coach Bobby
Knight and follows his career
while coaching the Indiana
Hoosiers in the mid-1980s.
The viewers’ attention is
grabbed from the beginning
with thrilling scenes of Knight
losing his temper, shouting
expletives and tossing a chair
across the basketball court.
However, through most of his
outbursts, listeners get an in-
PHOTO COURTESY OF ESPN
complete reenactment of
Knight’s original performance
due to frequent and annoying
bleeps.
The movie is great at showing
the compassionate side of
Knight. After screaming profan
ities at his players, he pulls one
aside and sincerely apologizes as
he explains his behavior.
Brian Dennehy, who has
won an Emmy, a Golden
Globe and a Tony is great at
portraying the vicious coach
and the compassionate, laid-
back father.
While the movie keeps view
ers on their toes with unexpect
ed lash outs from Dennehy, it
seems to come to an abrupt
end. Overall, ESPN is on the
road to something great for
avid and casual sports fans.

PHOTO COURTESY OF UNIVERSAL PICTURES
40 Days and 40 Nights
Directed by
Michael Lemann
Starring: Josh Hartnett,
Shannon Sossamon,
Paulo Costanzo
Miramax Films
Unable to deal with being
dumped by his girlfriend, Matt
(Josh Hartnett) begins engag
ing in a string of one-night
stands. When his ex-girlfriend
gets engaged, Matt does the
only thing he thinks will help
him get over her: a vow of sex
ual abstinence for the duration
of Lent.
Having sworn off any form of
intimate contact, including self
gratification, Matt becomes pro
ductive and happy, but as time
drags on his friends and room
mate (Costanzo) take a monetary
interest in his willpower and an
incredibly funny array of obsta
cles get in his way, and Matt’s
deer-in-the-headlights approach
to overcoming or escaping these
obstacles is hilarious.
The biggest obstacle of all,
however, comes in the form of
Erica (Shannon Sossamon).
Erica turns out to be perfect for
Matt and he must find a way to
keep her interest and his vow at
the same time.
While the tension between
Matt and Erica could have
been maintained better by
keeping the truth from her
longer, the movie still delivers
a high dose of out-loud laughs
and keeps the viewer’s interest
as it progresses.
Hartnett gives a great
comedic performance, which is
a refreshing change after his
roles in Pearl Harbor and Black
Hawk Down and is the perfect
compliment to his role in O.
Sossamon performs very well
and this movie, following her
performance in A Knight’s
Tale, should send many more
roles her way. (Grade: A)

Smith awarded $88 million
in damages
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) —
A federal judge awarded former
Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole
Smith more than $88 million in
damages Thursday in the latest
ruling in a bitter legal fight over
the estate of her late husband,
Texas oil tycoon J. Howard
Marshall II.
U.S. District Court Judge
David O. Carter ruled Thursday
that Marshall’s son, E. Pierce
Marshall, had interfered with
Smith’s attempt to get part of
her late husband’s oil fortune,
estimated at hundreds of million
Dragonfly
7gonfly
by Tom
Starring: Kevin Costner, Kathy Bates
Directed bi ^Tom Shadyac
Dragonfly is the story of Dr. Joe Darrow
(Kevin Costner), a brilliant emergency room doc
tor who loses his wife and believes she is trying to
contact him from beyond the grave. His wire, a
fellow physician, who worked with children, was
practicing humanitarian aid
for the Red Cross in South
America when a flood trag-
ically claimed her life.
The opening scenes of die
movie depict her death, se
curing the viewer’s attention
through die rest of the movie.
After the death of his wife,
Joe engrosses himself in his
work. However, when he
begins to make good on a
promise to his wife to check
on her patients, he learns the
children have seen her dur
ing near-death visions.
As he becomes more in
sistent that his wife is try
ing to contact him, his photo courtesy of
friends and neighbor (Kathy Bates) increasingly
become worried about him, and he comes in
danger of losing his job.
The majority of this dark film does an excellent
job of making the audience bite their nails in antici
pation. However, many viewers may feel a sense of
deja vu as the plot struggles to portray the paranor
mal as an enlightening experience, thus deviating
into The Sixth"Sense and Stir of Echoes territory.
The only other criticism
would be the exploration of the
supernatural. The wife’s at
tempts to reach Joe through the
children’s visions and comatose
dreams are fascinating, but
when Joe starts seeing physical
manifestations of her efforts,
one wonders if the filmmakers
strayed too far from their plau
sible basis in an attempt to elic
it a few screams.
Overall, Dragonfly is sus
penseful and entertaining, but
lacks the unity that would make
it truly compelling. (Grade: B)

of dollars.
“The evidence of willfulness,
maliciousness and fraud is over
whelming,” Carter wrote.
He found that E. Pierce Mar
shall and others spied on die cou
ple and controlled his father’s ac
cess to money to deny Smith the
sums she was promised.
E. Pierce Marshall released a
statement saying he would ap
peal and that his father “would
be appalled that the district
court continued to ignore his
clearly stated wishes.”
