Mediocre News.

The news is that the 2005 version of Bad News Bears doesn't suck. Wait, there's bad news too. The bad news is that I had a whole fucking post typed out, and then my computer crapped out on me. Thanks Blogger..for saving a draft of my post just without anything inside of it. That makes PERFECT sense. I swear to god I'm so annoyed right now. ANYWAYS, FOR THE SECOND FUCKING TIME.

"Bad News Bears (2005)"

This post isn't gonna be that long because I'm afraid I'm going to confuse this with "Benchwarmers," which are basically almost the same shit just a tad different.

Billy Bob Thornton plays the coach of a little league team only he's an alcoholic kinda' guy who doesn't care..you know the story. Yeah, he has the role down perfectly. He did it in "Bad Santa," and it worked and it suprisingly works in here too. I thought it would be boring and overplayed but it wasn't. Dunno if it will work again though.

The kids are all pretty funny..the pitcher they found is a terrible actor. They went out of their way to find a girl who was goodlooking and could pitch and evidently she's the best they could find..and she isn't that good looking. Evidently there's a lot of ugly women pitchers out there.

The tough guy rebel who joins the team later on is a terrible actor too. The way they show that he's a rebel is TERRIBLE. During the middle of a game he drives onto the field on a dirtbike or something and it just feels out of place and retarded..like why would you do that? Just..why? I've never seen the original but this is how they do it in the remake..and it's terrible.

There's three really funny kids that I can remember. One is a foulmouth kid who's sort of a smart-ass. There's one who doesn't really want to play...like he just doesn't care..really funny stuff. The other one I won't ruin..the other one is a bit silly but, whatever. I won't ruin it anyways, you'll know it when you see it.

Anyways, overall I rate the movie a 6/10. It's mediocre, just above average. I've never seen the original flick but will very soon. Got it on my Netflix list.

IMDB link for "Bad News Bears."

Wow...after posting this and checking the IMDB page I noticed right now the average rating is exactly what I gave it. Is that good..or bad? I also just checked Rotten Tomatoes and they too have a 6 out of 10. I think that speaks well for my skills in judging flicks. Does it? Dunno..Feedback?

Anyways, sorry for such a shitty update. I'm not feeling great and am about to go lay down. In the meantime you can add me on your Netflix list if you want by using the E-Mail address Bagtatta@optonline.net. You can then glance through my almost full queue. It would be full but I have to start adding things again..I have a whole list of things to add. Once again, sorry for the shitty post. Don't worry, I'll post later on with something funny and interesting probably if I feel better.
