Cable TV networks like to produce wanky films that attempt to tug at your heartstrings. There are about two dozen of them made every year. They are always done on the cheap and usually are about a real-life story of some kind so people are already familiar with the particulars.

FOXCATCHER, The Text Message Review
I want to talk to you about how he (director Bennett Miller) framed this film in a cinematic story. The first half we are with Mark Shultz (Channing Tatum). We see what he sees.

98th best Baseball Movie of all time – HEADIN HOME, 1920
Headin Home is the fictionalized version of how Babe Ruth became Babe Ruth. Of course, as in most propaganda/promotion videos about a person or organization, none of it is really true. 1920 was an interesting time as Babe Ruth just got “traded” to the New York Yankees from the Boston Red Sox. He was becoming… Continue reading 98th best Baseball Movie of all time – HEADIN HOME, 1920

BUYER & CELLAR Play. The one man show on what makes Barbra Streisand
People in my social circle laugh that I am a fan of Barbra Streisand, because I’m a straight, sports crazed man’s man who doesn’t fit into the Streisand demographic. All I can say that she’s funny whenever she appears in a comedy (watch her in the underrated What’s up Doc?). Realistic whenever she’s in a… Continue reading BUYER & CELLAR Play.
