In summer after the sixth grade I was still looking for a sport to play. One day while playing neighborhood football I caught a kick off and ran for a touchdown. This was now my game. I lifted hard that summer, drank raw eggs and exercised lots but didn’t play football oddly enough. Late that summer I played football again. I caught the ball, ran and got hit-hit hard.

There are some plot curve balls, but at its core, that’s what the movie is about. It’s better than the preview, features the always likable Will Arnet and Liam Neeson among others, and is worth seeing for a couple of reasons.

When they dropped off the 2014 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition for me to test drive I was immediately taken back by how big and red it was. Granted the red will vary, especially if yours is a different color. The size, however, will remain the same and it’s a big full size truck. “Wow, it’s like a TARDIS”, I said to the person dropping off the truck.
