Win Win
 Really Great 88 Points 2011
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Really Great

Win Win has become such a cliche, yet is anything but in the entirely winning movie of that title. Cleverly mining today’s uneven economy, the uneasy equality of modern marriages, the unjust world of neglected kids, and not least, the under-appreciated sport of high school wrestling, Win Win…

 Great 83 Points 1992
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Great

Ron Shelton made White Men Can’t Jump after Bull Durham and before Tin Cup. His sequence of great sports movies is thus baseball, basketball, golf. This middle one – his hoops hit – nailed the J with its title, even if the rest veers from perfection.

White Men Can’t Jump was welcom…

We Are Marshall
 Really Great 66 Points 2006
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Really Great

Arguably the best football movie ever, We Are Marshall is about much more than sports. Don’t shy away because 75 people – including dozens of collegiate football players – died in the horrific plane crash that forms its centerpiece. The movie is about what led up to the tragedy and mostly abo…

Warrior
 Great 84 Points 2011
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Great

 Good 17 Points 1999
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it Good

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…
