How do you like your sports-themed movies? Heavy on the sport or just a side of sport with a heaping helping of feel-good story? Me… I’m not tellin’ though I’m sure there’s some conclusion that can be made after you’ve seen my list. First I wanna share a few stories that inspired me to put [...]

It has been a cold, cold winter. Snow has been piled high here in Baltimore since late January and it’s been raining

Here’s the official trailer for Woody Harrelson’s Defendor Whoa! Looks great! Sure it stinks of which came first (Kick-Ass or Defendor?), but who cares?
