I have not read the book, but this movie is terrible. The plot was laughable and predictable. The acting was lame, as these performances made Steven Seagal look like Robert De Niro. Characterization was non-existent; it was extremely difficult to care about the characters because they were basically without personality. Surprisingly there was little effort to develop the characters and, as a result, they were extremely one-dimensional. As for the ending, it seems that the makers of this movie didn't really know what to do, so they just ended it! You'll find yourself asking, "Is that it?"

Normally my ratings are pretty close to IMDb users' assessments of movies, but this one was not even remotely close. A total waste of time and money. I cannot put into words how bad this movie was.

I own the PS2 version of this game, and it's pretty much the same as the previous version. Not that this is a terrible thing... 2K6 and 2K5 were great games, and this one continues the tradition. Just don't expect to see anything new.

The one big gripe I have with this one is that getting steals is much too easy. Also, when one player knocks the ball away, the player who picks it up gets credited with the steal, which technically is not correct. It was a nice option to add the ability to play the passing lanes, which came in the 2K6 version, but it's way too easy to get steals, sometimes just by pure luck. Moving the game sliders helps with this problem, though.

The legacy mode is deep and makes the game worth the purchase. The graphics are pretty much the same as 2K6, and the crowd, which was horrible in 2K5, still looks the same. The players pretty much look the same, as well.

Good game, but I have a "been there, done that, just with different rosters" feeling when I play it. 7/10

Dead Man on Campus is incredibly underrated. If you pick up the case in a movie store, or if you see the trailer, or perhaps if someone tells you the premise of the movie, it probably will not sound like a movie that is worth watching. Luckily I caught this on television once and got into it, because I doubt I ever would have watched it. I'm glad I did. I own the DVD and have watched it several times, and it doesn't get old. I typically do not rate comedies very high, but there are a few exceptions. I believe Office Space and American Pie are among the best comedies ever made, and I think Dead Man on Campus is just a notch below that level. Give this one a try. If you have a sense of humor, you certainly won't be disappointed. It starts a little slow, in my opinion, but give it some time. It's well worth it. 9/10.
