Brewster McCloud
There is something delightful in the absurdity and chaos of the movie that kept my interest even as I struggled to pinpoint exactly what it was that I was watching.

Ed
A monkey playing baseball, what could be cuter? In the case of Bill Couturié’s Ed, you could slap Chunk from The Goonies in in some Victoria’s Secret lingerie and you’d have something more attractive.

Ball of Wax
In Daniel Kraus’ dark baseball film Ball of Wax, life on the diamond is clearly no longer a sport. It’s something sinister, like a virus refusing to let go of its host.

American Pastime
Full of interesting characters and placed in a charged setting, but the preachy and obvious spin it takes is ultimately melodramatic and predictable.

The Bad News Bears Go to Japan
So how much more can they get out of cussing kiddies playing baseball? Apparently an additional 91 minutes – 91 painful, horrendous, baseball-bat-to-the-crotch-three-times minutes.

The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training
The comedic value of kids talking like a bitter pirate with hemorrhoids and smoking [was] played out mid-way through the first film.

Caddyshack
Never mind the fact that the plot regularly goes off track and into the rough, Caddyshack offers laughs a plenty.
Edge of Darkness (2010)
Martin Campbell returns to the once edgy and jagged ground of his excellent BBC miniseries Edge of Darkness with a much slicker spin that sheds much of what made the first go around so good.
Class Act
While not a horrible film, it certainly isn’t the type of feature that would make anyone an icon or even a star.
Avatar
It’s rare that a movie can inspire genuine awe but Cameron has succeeded in another landmark technical achievement.
