"The Pfogram" is really
exciting. The actual football
scenes (which make up about a
third to a half of the movie) are
so cool. There is a dozen
subplots for those who don't
like football.
"The Program" never has a
boring or slow part. The
character's triumphs over
personal and team conflicts just
makes you feel good.
Whether or not you like
football, you'll love "The

into their new home, a student of
Andy's is assaulted. Andy goes
to the hospital to thank the
surgeon who saved this young
girl's life and learns that this
man, Dr. Jed Hill (Alec Baldwin),
is a high school acquaintance.
Dr. Hill is new in town and is
without a place to stay. Andy
decides to rent the doctor a room
in his large house to help pay for
remodeling expenses.
After Dr. Hill settles in, Tracy
Sevian is rushed to the hospital
to have a cancerous ovary
removed. Tracy has signs of a
cyst on her remaining ovary and
there is no time to call in a
hystologist to determine whether
she is in danger or not. As time
is running out, Dr. Hill makes a
command decision and wrongly
removes the second ovary which
causes the Sevians to lose a four
week old fetus, and so the
intricate plot of "Malice" unfolds.
