Varsity Blues

Oh, Dawson, where for art thou, Dawson? This flick may have be the pinnacle of James Van Der Beek's film career, and a good one it was. Saw this on TNT...even though I'm not a big repeat film watcher, I've probably seen it at least three times. It's kind of fun to watch movies again a decade later to see which actors are still around and which have faded into obscurity. Varsity Blues is full of both. Feels like an episode of Friday Night Lights without all the melancholy music and dramatic pauses.
