"The Damned United" is a "based on a true life story about sports", in fact a great one, but director Tom Hooper finds it necessary to fulfill the film with off-field drama and tension, relying very little on the actual game of soccer.

added by newsBot2009 is about to end with a bang, though probably not the apocalyptic kind predicted in the long-awaited adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" or Chris Smith's terrifying doc "Collapse," though those will both be playing at your local arthouse. Instead, audiences will be able to enjoy a winter of wildly different indie film offerings to reflect the wildly different tastes of moviegoers as we leave one decade and move into another.
