i'd fallen out of the movie-watching habit for the last month or so, but finally picked it up again this weekend, starting with the replacements. you could think of it as major league for football, but not as wacky. the football stuff looked great (some of it was shot during halftime of a preseason baltimore ravens game), and the rest of the movie was on the right side of the "not bad" line. and even keanu whoa reeves couldn't fumble the delivery of this cheesy, but fun, miniature motivational speech: pain heals. chicks dig scars. glory lasts forever.
