If you were old enough to remember the Presidency of George W. Bush, from 2001-2008, it was quite the time to be alive. There’s many things to reminisce about, some good, some bad, and some out right unforgettable. Conspiracy theories aside, many people believed Bush was the puppet and Dick Cheney was the mastermind pulling … More VICE (2018)
Mary Poppins returned to theatres and our homes in late 2018 as one of the greatest Christmas gifts we never asked for. The original Mary Poppins is hailed as one of Disney’s greatest movies, despite the much-talked backstory of how Walt obtained the story. Emily Blunt was probably the only choice to reprise the role … More Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
Necessary Roughness does not provide us with a new angle on the recycled plot of a group of misfits coming together to play football, but it does provide us with a whole bunch of laughs. This movie came out during a time when sports was trying to be funny (think Major League) and not cater … More Necessary Roughness (1991)
It has taken 10 years to watch a movie I never thought would interest me. Wow was I wrong. George Clooney was brilliant here as star football player, director, and writer of a comedy about the early days of professional football. John Krasinski is matches Clooney wit for wit as they both fight to grow … More Leatherheads (2008)
Jerry Maguire is one of the best movies of Tom Cruise’s career and with the exception of Bridget Jones, one of Renee Zellweger’s most famous roles. This awesome movie about romance, football, back door deals, soul-searching, and a dozen other topics is fondly remembered for two lines and probably nothing else. Even if you don’t … More Jerry Maguire (1998)
Before I get dragged through the mud for saying this, hear me alright. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is not the worse animated movie you can sit through this year. I actually loved the animation and the pop culture jokes. They were littered throughout the entire movie and the writers didn’t hold back on … More Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018)
If you watched movies or listened to music in 1995, you are probably aware of a movie called Dangerous Minds and the hit song Gangsta’s Paradise. While I was watching Wildcats, starring Goldie Hawn, I felt I was watching something very similar but completely different. Goldie has loved football her whole life and accepts a … More Wildcats (1986)
When I think of TV shows I watched as a kid, Married with Children always come to mind. We all loved Al Bundy (Ed O’Neill) whether want to admit it or not. Right in the middle of his fame as Bundy, O’Neill grew up in a small town, went to be a college superstar, on … More Little Giants (1994)
In 2004 Adam Sandler took a classic movie with Burt Reynolds and gave a whole new generation a glimpse into some fun football. It wasn’t that long ago I tried to watch the original Longest Yard from 1974 and never made it past the car chase. I was like this movie won’t be for me, … More The Longest Yard (1974)
Semi-Tough is Burt Reynolds second stint as a professional football player on the big screen. After starring in The Longest Yard four years prior, it would be tough to follow such a successful film with another one. I wonder what drew him and Kris Kristofferson to such a project because this is by far the … More Semi-Tough (1977)
