Varsity Blues
Good 17 Points 1999

Was this the film that inspired the TV show ‘Friday Night Lights’? It could have been, except it has more humor and the drama isn’t as heavy.. In the big state of Texas, Football is king, it is the place where a winning team and its coach are revered, and not much else matters – including…

Mystery, Alaska
Very Good 66 Points 1999

Ain’t never seen Slap Shot, but it’s hard to imagine a better pure hockey movie than this. For that matter, sports movies of any sort rarely get this good. Complete with a star studded cast, plenty of laughs, and a climactic game that manages to avoid cliche, it’s a mystery that this movie is…

Great 17 Points 2000

This was a real “feel good” movie for me. Will Smith is outstanding as the wise and mystical Bagger Vance, soothsayer to the down on his luck Matt Daemon. Charleze Theron and Matt have a great chemistry in this classic come-from-behind sports movie with a golfer’s twist. But don’t believe you hav…

Really Great 71 Points 2000

Poignance, glory, Denzel: three ingredients that make Titans a great football movie. Poignant as in funny and affecting, glorious as in achieving great and meaningful victories, Denzel as in pure movie star charisma.

The Replacements
Barely OK 83 Points 2000

The dramatic depth of a lite beer commercial, egregious stereotyping and one-note performances consign The Replacements to cellar-dweller status. Even the great Gene Hackman can’t rescue it from ridiculousness, triteness and mean-spiritedness. Consider it a weak replacement for a quality foot…

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 …
