The Legend Of B...
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…

Gracie
Barely OK 17 Points 2007

An overly formulaic yarn about the girl who won’t be let in to the all-boy soccer scene during the 70’s. To me, the best thing about this movie was the 70’s rock sound bites. The actors are not very memorable, but the flick will be enjoyed by tweener kids.

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 …

The Hammer
OK 17 Points 2011

Uplifting story of Matt Hamill, the first deaf wrestler to win the national collegiate championship. This film more or less follows the formula of any sports story: underdog faces personal challenges, he is motivated by his coach (in this case his grandpa), works hard at success, achieves great …

The King of Kong
Good 17 Points 2007

While not a great movie, the fun-poking at geeky 70’s arcade game players was hard to resist. Lots of chuckles at characters that probably existed when you and your acne was playing Pac Man or Donkey Kong at the arcade. Even more funny is the look at the ultra-geeks who get sucked back in when t…

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…

The Class of 92
Good 17 Points 2013

An engaging look at the famous Manchester United boys (David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil and Gary Neville) between ’92 and ’99. They were boys who grew up together on the field as the junior team and rose up through the ranks to win European championships. Apparently this…

All the Right M...
Good 17 Points 1983

Tom Cruise acts like you think he would in high school – self absorbed and too cute for his own good. He’s no match for his coach, who makes his coming of age experience stressful and close to turning him in to just another dying steel town worker.

Free Solo
Perfect 17 Points 2018

Edge of your seat documentary about Alex Honnold’s journey to finally free soloing El Cap in 2017. Seriously stressful watching this – but so rewarding!
