The Cutting Edge (1992)

Once upon a time there was a hockey player who got a boo-boo on his eyeball and could no longer play hockey (quitter).

Once upon a time there was a pretty lady who fell down and went boom in front of millions spectators and ruined her chance at Olympic gold.

Them's the breaks when you live life on THE CUTTING EDGE

Coming Soon

A League of Their Own (1992)

A League of Their Own is really not the right movie to watch when you've just convinced yourself of the futility of human existence.

It's like, why are we here? What's the point? Who am I? And then there's this movie and it seems like it's about living your dream when really it's about DEATH.

Coming Soon

Hoosiers (1986)

Hey gang, what I'm about to say is going to blow your mind, so get ready..... "Hoosiers" has a lot of basketball in it. Like, A LOT OF BASKETBALL.

It's probably 15% drama scenes 176% basketball scenes.

The "drama" parts are pretty dumb and half-assed but the basketball parts are plentiful and include white-knuckle suspense.

Let' s just say it's the "You Got Served" of Basketball movies. That's not a bad thing. "You Got Served" is an AWESOME movie:

"Hoosiers" is a...um...it's okay. (Don't argue with me, I'm right about this.)

Coming Soon

Hey, what's up? Been a while.

I moved across the country and spent a few months upping my score on my Wii Tennis, but now I'm ready to get real.

It's (almost) time for HOOSIERS:

Remember the Titans (2000)

Remember the Titans is like one of those now-extinct long-distance commercials. It's sole purpose is to make you have FEELINGS and CRY.

And DANCE. It's a football movie AND a dance movie.

Wildcats (1986)

After the soul-crush that was "Vision Quest," I needed to find a film that could restore my faith in this genre that I love.

That film was Wildcats.

Damn, this movie is good.

Also, it gave us Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes in their film debuts. They later reunited for "White Men Can't Jump" which you KNOW I love.

All I have to say, is when Wesley gets done with jail or probation or whatever, he needs to give Woody a call because these two together are TOTALLY Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks circa "Sleepless in Seattle."

Coming Soon....Instead

Due to technical difficulties/laziness instead of Remember the Titans, the next movie will be....WILDCATS!

.

I have not forgotten you/Coming Soon

So long, I've been gone, and I'm sorry for that.

It's just that the experience of watching "Vision Quest" was quite traumatic and I needed a break.

But have no fear, the Netflix has arrived!

Coming Soon:

Vision Quest (1985)

You may be wondering what took me so long. I mean, I said this moving was coming soon and then hours, days, weeks later...nothing. And you may be thinking, "Wow, m.lady really dropped the ball," but I assure you, that's not what happened. What happened was Vision Quest, the most awful crap cinema experience of my life ever. Maybe even worse than Coach Carter. But not quite because Coach Carter is really the worst, but, wow, Vision Quest. It's like having an ear infection, diarrhea, stomach flu, and your period on the same day. Oh, and zombies are knocking down your door and your mom just told you that your dog died. 

Daphne Zuniga apologizes for being part of this and also for the overalls.

So, Vision Quest, what's up? What's your deal?

Other than being THE WORST EVER

Coming Soon

Thrashin' (1986)

In this totally tubular flick, Corey, a wicked skater, goes from having really porny conversations with this bird, Chrissy (who is a total Betty), to throwin' some truly sick moves on his board. Oh, and Chrissy's brother, Hook, is a major narbo with a rat tail. 

Suffice it to say (Suffice to say?), this movie is flash primo to the max.

Coming Soon

Chariots of Fire (1981)

Chariots of Fire is the story of two runners. One a devout Christian and the other a determined Jewish man. That's pretty much what the IMDB description is anyway.

Really, watching the movie is more like being really excited to open your birthday presents because one of the presents is HUGE and then opening the wrapping and no, it's not the American Girls Samantha doll. It is a sleeping bag.

Let's go camping!

Coming Soon

Radio (2003)

I cried twice while watching this movie. Once out of sentimentality and once because I was really questioning my life choices and how they led to the moment when I found myself voluntarily watching this movie rather than, you know, drinking champagne on a yacht in the south of France.

It's like the people who made this movie read this blog post and then built a time machine and zapped back to 2003 to make the movie longer and more awful just so I would experience the soul crushing time suck that is Radio.

Coming Soon

Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken (1991)

Things that can be broken: promises, wine glasses, bones, chairs, traffic laws.

Things that can't be broken: WILD HEARTS

SEE?!

Coming Soon

Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken
