It is no secret at this point that I will watch just about any baseball movie. One Hit from Home came out eight years ago, and I was totally left in the dark about it. Lucky for me, Pure Flix recently added this film to its library and I couldn’t wait to watch it. Without … More One Hit from Home (2012)
I’m a sucker for baseball and romance movies. This one was a grand slam from the beginning since it featured both of my favourite things in the storyline. Whenever I join a streaming service or look for something to watch, I usually start with sports and work my way from there. I came across Pitching … More Pitching Love and Catching Faith (2015)
We have this long-running joke in our house that any movie that starts with death should be great. Much to my surprise, Hometown Legend begins with death on the football field. It was totally unexpected and was the primary shooting off point for the story. Coach Buster Schler (Terry O’Quinn) lost his son and retired, … More Hometown Legend (2002)
I want to think that any movie with a hashtag symbol in the title would be garbage. So far, I’m 100% on that assumption. Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack has to be one of the worse movies I’ve ever watched. It was a home media release that tried to blend reality TV with cheerleading. It … More Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack (2017)
My wife enjoys watching the Bring It On movies. Even I would admit that the first one (2000) was a pretty fun movie. What I couldn’t accept is how watered down the stories and characters have become all these years later. Bring It On Fight to the Finish is the fifth installment of the franchise. … More Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (2009)
Last summer (2019), I watched Pumping Iron for the first time. I was in the middle of a workout program as I prepared for my wedding that August. I will be the first to admit I have never been a huge gym rat, and eating healthy was always my second option at the table. I … More Pumping Iron (1977)
I pointed out in my review of Pumping Iron, bodybuilding has never been a particular interest of mine. However, a recent interest in becoming a personal trainer has made me do some research into the world of bodybuilding. While browsing Netflix for videos about the subject, I came across Ronnie Coleman: The King. I can’t … More Ronnie Coleman: The King (2018)
The Way Back is not your typical sports drama. It is also not your usual Ben Affleck role. Filming this particular movie had to be gut-wrenching and liberating for Affleck, who has had his addiction issues play out in the public eye. This basketball drama probably isn’t for the kids, since it is littered with … More The Way Back (2020)
There will be no spoilers here, but when you go into Creed II don’t be upset with the predictable story and ending. You already know what is going to happen before you buy your ticket, so enjoy the gut-wrenching performance from Michael B. Jordan and bask in Sylvester Stallone playing the iconic Rocky Balboa one … More Creed II (2018)
Powerful, emotional, heart breaking, inspiring, and motivational are all words I would use to describe 23 Blast, one of the world’s most unknown football movies. I tried not to cry the entire movie and finally lost it at the end. Whether they dramatized the final game or not, I really don’t care, this film moved … More 23 Blast (2014)
