Hurricane Season

Cast: Forest Whitaker, Isaiah Washington, Bow Wow, Lil' Wayne and J.B. Smoove
Release date: December 25
Why you should see it: Yes, this is another inspirational sports movie, but it doesn't get more inspirational than this true story of Louisiana high school basketball coach Al Collins (Whitaker), who made a championship team out of students displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
Box office bottom line: It's the feel-good movie of the season, and all the merrier considering that many of the news stories we hear about post-Katrina Louisiana continue to be negative.
