I have no expectations that this will be a good film in any respect, and yet, my curiosity is piqued enough by it to merit a rental. Notable Extras: Director/writer commentary, a making of featurette, and 2 music videos (All Roads Lead Home, Henry Poole Is Here). That said, I still intend on watching it with an open mind, and once I do, I'll report back with my thoughts on the /Filmcast. Now, I could be wrong, but I really can't see this being handled in a way that's anything other than ham-fisted and completely logic-defying. To elaborate, it's about an atheist rejecting the notion of a miracle until eventually he is convinced otherwise by repeatedly being confronted with the undeniable presence of God. If what I've read is accurate, it seems this movie is about God, pure and simple. Those probably sound like two contrasting viewpoints, so allow me to explain: I'm an atheist. The more I read about this film, the more interested I become, and the more I think I'll probably hate it. What? Save $5 when you buy City of Ember and Igor.

Notable Extras: Deleted scenes, bloopers and a 'Be An Igor' featurette. I still intend on checking it out though, since I'm a sucker for animated films, and while it may not be one of the best of the year, it certainly doesn't appear to be scraping the bottom of the barrel either (see: Space Chimps). Despite an inventive premise that plays on classic monster movie tropes, the response to this movie has been very middling, and it didn't even seem to last a week before being instantly forgotten following its release. Among these films are Bolt, Kung Fu Panda, and Horton Hears a Who. For arguably the first time since 2001 (with Shrek), we actually have non-Pixar animated films nearing that studio's standards. This has been an unusual year for CGI films.

Notable Extras: Audio commentary with director Gary Fleder, featurettes (Making of The Express, Making History: The Story of Ernie Davis, Inside the Playbook: Shooting the Football Games, From Hollywood to Syracuse: The Legacy of Ernie Davis), and deleted scenes. Granted, I still believe this is true, but at least it appears to be well made and acted.

If It weren't for the positive reviews, I probably would've overlooked this movie completely, dismissing it as nothing more than an unnecessary Remember the Titans retread.

Repo the genetic opera tv tropes
