Team Spirit

As Summer '06 winds down, 4 new films are hoping to make it into the end zone, before the play clock reaches zero. Invincible (Reviews) leads the pack--with most critics giving the Vince Papale biopic high marks.

Dave McNary of Variety handicaps this weekend's derby in Pic quartet tackles B.O....While Entertainment Weekly's Joshua Rich is a bit more certain who will come away the win: On a slow weekend, Wahlberg looks "Invincible"---adding that the football drama will be No. 1, but it's a victory against the second division as summer turns to fall.

Nothing goes better with football than a nice cold beer, right?...Cold is a great way to describe the critical reaction to the comedy Beerfest (Reviews). Meanwhile, rapper André Benjamin of Outkast tries to further cultivate a film career, in the prohibition era musical drama Idlewild (Reviews). Author Thomas Rockwell's popular book, How to Eat Fried Worms (Reviews) gets the big screen treatment, to round things out...

Can you believe it? Next week marks the end of the Summer '06 movie season. Wow! How time flies...Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a very special post that's coming soon concerning a particular comic book flick--taking the summer out in style.
