I wish Mr. 3000 would have got its due considering its good, and its the Brewers.

 

The ending woulda been a lot better if they were in a pennant race not fighing for third. Though I get it.

 

U2 is terrible, the Eagles are terrible, CCR is great, Red Hot Chilli Peppers is probably my least favorite band ever followed closely by Pink Floyd, Phish, and 311.

 

Can't wait to see Sugar, I'm gonna get it in my queue right now

Rented "Sugar" the other night. It was a good movie. Gives what probably is a pretty realistic picture of what many Latin ballplayers go through when they make it to the States. I also thought the movie did a good job of pointing out some of the cultural differences. Specifically, relations between males and females.

As I said, it was a good movie. However, not really fair to compare to "Field of Dreams". Other than having baseball in common, they are two pretty different types of movies. I would say that, for me anyways, "Field of Dreams" is a movie that I'll stop and watch if it comes on while I'm flipping channels. Not sure that I would necessarily do the same with this movie.

Just picked this movie up last night at Barnes and Nobles here in Phoenix. This movie was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is friends with several Dominican MLB players and she said its a pretty accurate portrayal. I must say it is a very good movie, even though it is mostly in spanish (but it is subtitled)

INSTANT BANINATION.

picked it up last week and really enjoyed it. the problem with most baseball movies is that they are the same, there is a crummy team, something happens and they get good. I don't want to give it up, but this movie is nothing like this, but is still centered around baseball. I agree with Patrick425's review of the movie. Very good.

Field of Dreams was great when I was a kid, but now....Not so much. I just watched the Rookie the other day and I have to say that was a great and touching baseball movie that no one mentioned here.

I love "The Rookie". Great movie.
