The Final Season
Good 66 Points 2007

This true story plays out like a lesser “Hoosiers”, albeit set in “Field of Dreams” Iowa baseball territory. Strong performances by Sean Astin, Rachel Leigh Cook, and especially Powers Boothe elevate the movie above Movie-of-the-Week fare.

The Longest Yard
Good 17 Points 2005

Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Burt Reynolds (as a reprise) star in this fun prisoners v Guards football classic. Not as notable as it’s 1974 predecessor, but there is plenty of raunchy humor and brute tactics you wish your favorite team could employ from tine to time to make the film an entertain…

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…

Tyson
Good 66 Points 2009

This well crafted biodoc provides a warts-and-all picture of boxing and cultural phenomenon Iron Mike Tyson. Given his pop prominence and the high quality of the film, Tyson will appeal to non-boxing fans, though not to many women given its subject’s twisted attitudes and rape conviction.

Secretariat
Good 71 Points 2010

Malkovich, Lane and the Greatest Horse Ever, what could go wrong? Nothing, it turns out, although Secretariat never pulls a Secretariat, turning promise into triumph. Perhaps because it’s a Disney production – reverential to a fault – or perhaps because of its mildly precious dialogue.
