The Dennis Quaid football drama will vie for second place with last weekend's champ, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua."

LOS ANGELES - A judge has ordered Redmond O'Neal back to rehab weeks after he and his father were arrested on suspicion of drug possession.
The 23-year-old appeared in a Malibu courtroom Wednesday on a probation violation for a previous drug conviction.
Records show Judge Scott Millington ordered O'Neal into a two-week detox program after he admitted he had relapsed.
Neither O'Neal nor his father, actor Ryan O'Neal, have been charged after being arrested in mid-September. Deputies searched the O'Neals' Malibu home as part of Redmond's probation and say they found drugs in both men's living areas.

ATLANTA - When brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick were looking for inspiration for their third feature-length film, they turned to God for help.
"To be honest, I prayed about it," Alex Kendrick said. "I said, `God, would you give me an idea that will impact all of our culture.'"
While he was out jogging and praying one day, the idea for "Fireproof" came to him. He footed it over to his brother's house about a mile away and told him the story: A firefighter who lives by the mantra "never leave your partner behind" at work is about to do just that in his personal life.
The movie, which has a strong faith-based message and was made with a budget of just $500,000 and a volunteer cast that includes former |
