The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #35 Hurricane Season

 The Top 40 Basketball Movies - #35 Hurricane Season

Hurricane Season

I'm a pretty big Forest Whitaker fan and the premise seemed at least mildly interesting. Maybe not We Are Marshall territory but hurricane Katrina seemed like a good no one believes in us story background. I disagree with the consensus pretty far here even though it was a straight to DVD movie. A 69 for the Rotten Tomatoes audience and the highest IMDB score so far doesn't bode too well for my future picks. It was hard to get interested in these characters though or the movie in general. The payoff wasn't close to what I wanted but my biggest gripe seems to be that they have these essentially weather reports and actual footage of the hurricane spliced in, which kind of takes you out of the movie. This was a real event, here is some real news and devastation, now back to your based on true events basketball movie. We aren't going to show you the complete devastation but trust us, with basketball.. everything is alright. Lil Wayne is in here for some reason. I like the storyline of conflicting students and previous rivals having to come together to form this team. The coach not wanting his players to transfer didn't go over too well.

Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46.
