If you go to this movie based solely on how it is being portrayed in the trailers and advertisements, you will probably be expecting a feel-good romp through familiar territory - a football version of Hoosiers. Like nearly all sports movies, Frida...

Sometimes, calling something "cheesy" and "B-grade" can be construed as a compliment. But not in Hostel's case. A thrill-less thriller that uses gore to obfuscate its inability to generate tension, this motion picture has the profile one might ex...

It's very easy to wax poetic about the sport of baseball, and I'm not just talking "Mighty Casey has struck out." Baseball may not be the most popular sport in North America, but it has a history and mythology like no other. The giants of past er...
