Great 17 Points 2004

The movie that sparked the highly successful TV series did so for a reason. Immersion in to small town football drama is like no other. Let Billy Bob Thornton and cast take you away for a while in to the land of Texas gridiron.

We Could Be King
Great 17 Points 2014

This is probably one of the best football documentaries I have seen. It blends all the best about sports movies: come from behind, face adversity, and overcome with the reality of being a true story. Immerse yourself in the world of Philly’s Martin Luther King High School Cougars. You will g…

Concussion
Great 83 Points 2015

Mike Webster was a hero of mine, at a time when heroes were very, very influential in a young man’s life. Iron Mike Webster snapped the ball to Terry Bradshaw in four Super Bowls, all of which the Steelers won – my Steelers. He famously wore short-sleeves and no arm-pads to not get grabbed by def…

Pawn Sacrifice
Great 17 Points 2015

A moving chess movie you say? Yeah – I didn’t think it was possible either, but the story of Fischer v Spasky was inspiring. The crazy paranoid Brooklyn boy reveals his brilliance before an eventual spiral towards insanity. The chess community was equally as crazy as they too-patiently dealt w…

Miracle
Very Good 17 Points 2004

Given that it is Stanley Cup season, I thought I’d give Disney’s “The Miracle” a shot. Its been a while since I purposefully sat down to watch a family flick without the kids. As usual, the sports-film formula is predictable, and you even already know the outcome of the famous Russia v …

Invictus
Very Good 83 Points 2009

This magnificent political biography also happens to be a very good movie. Not a great movie, but a great and important story, well told and even better acted by its two leads. Lessons in history and leadership should all be so charismatic.

The movie has rhythms and totems unfamiliar to Amer…

My All-American
Very Good 17 Points 2015

Finn Wittrock and Aaron Eckhart are great in this story about Freddie Steinmark. Freddie, who, despite never being made an all American, was identified by the Great UT Coach Royal as “his All American”. His heart and determination helped his team win a national championship, and his fight with…

42
Very Good 17 Points 2013

42 gives us a part of baseball history that fans and non-fans alike should see. As much as it is a decent baseball story, it is an even better story about American history. This glimpse into how Jackie Robinson made his way from a Negro league to the Brooklyn Dodgers was more complex than a simpl…

Very Good 83 Points 2012

Cliches are rarely so well calibrated as in Trouble with the Curve. Crusty father, chip-off-the-ol’-block daughter, minor league baseball, small towns, hot dogs, roadhouses, and on and on. BTW, those hot dogs are of the ballpark and ballplayer varieties, with one of the latter played by Justin …
