 Very Good 66 Points 2006
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Very Good

A fine basketball movie, elevated to true inspiration given that it is about a transcendent moment in American race relations: the first all black team to compete for – and win – the NCAA championship.

Goon
 OK 17 Points 2011
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it OK

Tell the truth – you like to see fights at hockey games, right? If so, Goon is for you. This tongue-in-cheek hockey film is primarily an understated comedy that follows the nicest bouncer you’ll ever meet and his grand entrance to the one professional sport that appreciates a good brawler: h…

He Got Game
 Great 66 Points 1998
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Great

Spike Lee’s He Got Game serves as an elegy for basketball in America – its cultural transcendence, but also the avariciousness at the upper reaches of the hoops industry. The movie trawls through agents, leeches, homeboys and groupies on the make, each hoping to ride a prime-time player to Eas…
