Ring of Fire: The Emile Griffith Story (2005)
An extremely well done documentary which reaches well beyond the boundaries of sports.
An extremely well done documentary which reaches well beyond the boundaries of sports. Even though it follows the boxing career of Emile Griffith, its a poignant story that touches upon an era of innocence in America that is long gone. Sports writer, Pete Hamill made an early comment in the film in which he states that even though it is 1962, America was still living in the '50s. Being almost 2 decades removed from our World War II war heroes, America was on the cusp of a new time. A time where death could be seen on TV. A time where our potential new heroes would be scrutinized and seen as human with frailties and tastes that may be different from what was perceived as the norm. I would recommend this documentary to all, not only sports fans. But, only by being a sports fan, did I hear about it on commercial TV (which I don't watch much of). I look forward to seeing it again, hopefully, on DVD soon. It would be unfortunate if people judge this as only as a sports documentary.
AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)
Did i just see the worst movie ever made?
******Spoilers*****
To start off i just have to say this movie blew chunks! The Storyline wasn't to good but it cant be much better. If you ever liked the Alien movies you would not like this movie,and if you like the Predator movies you would not like this movie. When the fight scenes happen its like your in heaven but when the story stars again you think to your self "Maybe when i get home i could shoot my eyes out with a nail gun!" The predator teems up with a Black chick for gods sake and run around together, and that same Predator is also pregnant with an aliens baby,it like a soap opera, and in the end end only one human survives and one predator, for now, The girl and the predator have a little moment looking at each other and then you thank god that movie wasn't any longer or they would of had dirty sex. On the way home the predator has the nice little chest burst seen and the alien is half predator and half alien ,thats what i call cool, I'm just joking it totally sucked.
