A treat for football fans and civil rights era history buffs, this charming and affecting but overly reverential biopic will likely bore everyone else. That said, excellent performances by Rob Brown, Dennis Quaid and others, top notch production values, and first-rate football action do this i…

A three hanky weeper of the best kind – uplifting and funny. I was fortunate to watch it in the darkened cabin of an overnight flight to London, otherwise the tears streaming down my face would have been noticeable to others. But a good man-cry …

Perhaps a movie past its time – when the Dallas Cowboys were TV America’s Team – but a rousing and funny movie nonetheless. Notable for a classic Nick Nolte man’s man performance, football action that for the first time seemed real, and a whiff of the larger changes going in 1970’s society outsi… |

The original manly tear-jerker football movie. So what if it was made-for-TV. Big time movie stars (led by a never better James Caan) and a compelling drama of adversity gamely addressed in the shadow of superstardom make Brian’s Song one for the ages. |

Slapstick ruled the day, fights ended up in closer friendships, Clooney uses the period as a significant source of the comedy, and Randy N… |

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… |

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… |

Not quite in the same class as ‘Remember the Titans’ or ‘Blind Side’, but 23 Blast has all the hallmarks of a great come-from-behind sports story. This story about Kentucky high school football star Travis Freeman is especially inspiring once you learn about Travis’ fate of blindness and his com… |
