Friday Night Lights (2004) (9/10)
One of the best films of last year is this tough-nosed drama about the true story of a West Texas High School football team and their tumultuous season of ’88. This is a rare sports film that’s unpredictable, gritty & has a lot of heart. Easily makes my 10 Best of ’04 & will be added to my collection soon.

Becket (1964) (7/10)
This fine period/costume drama tells the story of King Henry II of England (Peter O’Toole) & his relationship with his drinking buddy turned Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket (Richard Burton). An interesting film for history buffs (which I am) though I do prefer this film’s follow-up/sequel, the superb A Lion in Winter.
