5-Word 365 #263 – Midnight Sting
For day 4 of 5-Word’s Sports Movie Week, we’re going boxing.
5-Word 365 #262 – Necessary Roughness
As Sports Movie Week rattles on to day 3, we’re sticking with the classic American sports. Today, football. Tomorrow, the world. (Or possibly ice hockey)
5-Word 365 #233 – BASEketball
Yes, I know. Here’s another one that I’m a little bit ashamed to admit I had never seen before today.
Andy Finally Watches… A Bronx Tale
After Andy’s overwhelming debut a couple of weeks ago, he’s back with another edition. Take it away, young’un.
5-Word 365 #217 – Everest
Today’s documentary is the most successful film at the US box office that never made it into the weekly top 10. If it wasn’t excluded from the list on a technicality, it would be highest grossing documentary of all time. Some folks went up a big mountain, and took a really big camera. This is the result.
5-Word 365 #216 – Fly Away Home
I might have to retire Kids’ Film Friday after this. It’ll be hard to find a better one.
5-Word 365 #211 – The Prophecy
I’ve noticed that most of my Sunday films seem to be foreign, particularly Asian, so I thought I might stick with Hollywood for a change. See if they can keep up with the good stuff coming from the East.
5-Word 365 #209 – Bingo
This week on Kids’ Film Friday we’ve got another recommendation from Andy. He’s given me two bum suggestions in the past, but will it be third time lucky?
5-Word 365 #207 – Bride Of Chucky
Of all the mixed-genre movies you can make, horror-comedy is probably one of the hardest to get right. It is such a difficult balance, most attempts end up favouring one side, but try to cram in occasional moments of the other to attempt to justify the title. This flick comes out better than most, by the simple expediency of not trying to segregate the scares from the laughs.
