OK, well at least I'm honest enough to tell you that I have never heard any of those three songs from him, my three songs are Can't C Me, Hit 'Em Up and Revolution (ft. Busta)

I never heard those songs from 2pac... I guess we have different taste in 2pac music

Wow, I think you 2 need to hook up and trade music cuz you guys are both missing out.

From the preview it seemed like it would take place in the late 80's early 90's as they were running around in teh keddo seemed alot loke that 2Pac movie where he was Birdie and that other movie where he was the killer with 2 guns but one gun wasn't supposed to be there and that iother guy was scratching the records...Im gonna watch that move.

Sorry, but I don't really think so... I'm not into Tupac/Westside/gang$ta rap :wink:

(Please spare me the 'greatest rapper of all time/his songs being artwork/meaning behind the songs' story)

Sorry, I had to ressurect this to say that the movie is AWESOME. I just saw it and it is (Y)

. Ashanti was good. She was a player's girlfirend who got pregnant. THIS IS NOT A SPOILER BECAUSE THEY TELL YOU THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE.

Just read this on Yahoo

living in the east bay i know this story all too well. the guy did what every coach should do. what makes him so special? the kids on his team weren't doomed to fail. his locking the gym for a week didn't work miracles. the "coach" is a fraud that he exploited these kids for his own gain. he is a businessman, he loves the spotlight, and now this jerk is a millionaire. if you don't believe me than go to the contra costa times newspaper's web site and read the article from last week. players on that team don't even like him. the principal, teachers, and other coaches didn't like him. everyone who knows him says this was a cry for attention. his players said the lockout was the ONLY time he was concerned with their academics. they dismiss this movie as fiction and feel like he takes credit where it is not due. he punched his son in the face twice during games! Ken Carter says he doesn't care what these people think because "everyone loves coach carter and now they will know the story." many events in the movie are far from truth, say his ex-players. didn't see the movie but i recommend staying miles from this true hollywood tall tale. this guy is just an average businessman....er coach

They put out this same movie like 10 times a year. Friday Night Lights, Hardball, Remember the Titans, The Rookie etc etc etc. Same old movie.

this movie is gonna suck.....well I know theirs alotta Samuel J fans in here but he looks daft when he tries to be serious......only Denzel Washington, Mekhi Pheifer(spellcheck) & Omar Epps would suit roles like this....where u need to be hard knock and serious.....course the latter 2 r way too young....n Denzel prolly wouldnt have wanted to play another role similar to that of RTT.
plus we all know any movie a musician acts in sucks.....its a curse.

by **Matt** on Sun Jan 16, 2005 2:54 am

Pheifer isn't even a good actor, Epps is ok....Jackson kicks both their asses....SHAFT!!!! What about Morgan Freeman....that dude should do audio versions of books cos he's got the coolest voice, anyways, Freeman is a great actor

You people all off topic...

I saw the movie on Wed Night or Thur Night, dont remember. ANd it was good. Very GOod. But Short and the same oh same oh type of movie. After youve seen soo many of these you already know whats going to happen but it was a good movie. (Y)

. And dont judge stuff from previews , then your making others join the bandnwagon.

Mainstream biatch!

I opened up that coach carter website in a new tab (using firefox) and then I went to pause winamp and it didn't pause. I didn't know what was happening and I was going crazy. About 5 minutes later I found out the stupid tab was playing music. I was wondering what was happening to my precious Slick Rick.

I'll probably see this at some point.

JUST A REMINDER

MAKE SURE YOU POST 'SPOILER' IN BIG LETTERS AT THE TOP OF YOUR POST IF YOU PLAN ON POSTING KEY PARTS OF THE MOVIE!

Spoilers piss me off.

I liked the movie, but Ashanti is a baaaaaaaad actor. It was pretty good overall, but I think the roll of Coach C. would have been better suited for Denzel Washington.

by **Andreas Dahl** on Mon Jan 17, 2005 1:06 am

LouisvilleLip, That was an intresting read (y)

That'll be in my mind when I watch the movie...

by **Steve [The Spiderman]** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 5:31 am

Yeah, I wanna see it and most of my friends said it was a good movie...

by **SkipToMy_Lou** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 9:49 am

Going to watch it tonight, as it isnt coming out in Australia for a while. So somehow a dvd of this movie just fell into my hands :wink:

ooooooh

It had a pretty good storyline since I find the true story quite inspiring. However, I must say I was quite disappointed with the basketball sequences. Every other play was an alley-oop (remember, this is highschool) and I don't recall a single missed field goal in the entire movie :shock:

by **idiot** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 10:24 am

heh, there was a missed free throw though 8-)

He did what every coach should do but not what every coach does. I mean, how many coaches (SPOILERS)...

Save one of their player's life from a drug dealer that killed his cousin?

by **LouisvilleLip** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 1:17 pm

Well thats what the movie says... From what i've read from many sources he isn't that guy who they portray in the movie. I've read from many sources that this guy punched his son in the head twice during a game (what a hero) but believe what you like...

by **The GOAT** on Tue Jan 18, 2005 1:59 pm

Could you link me to those sources?
