Goon

This could have easily been your by-the-book sports comedy but there is one reason that sets it apart. I never thought I would say this but the sole reason is Seann William Scott. That reason comes with one simple question that Scott was able to answer without a doubt. “Can Seann embrace his meathead persona and play a dumb but lovable ogre?”

Moneyball

• 2011
• Biography
• Drama
• Sport

What makes Moneyball a good movie is its ability to take the most boring parts of the sports genre and keep my attention. This very American film isn't for everyone and some may even find it as dull as the poster. I did at some points.

Warrior

• 2011
• Action
• Drama
• Sport

This is not the muscle-screaming, douchebag, MMA movie that everyone originally thought it was going to be, including myself. There are layers of stories that are gripping, relative to most people, and intensely moving. I highly recommend this as it is one of my top 10’s for 2011.

The Blind Side

• 2009
• Biography
• Drama
• Sport

I like Sandra Bullock but I could care less that she won an Oscar for this role. Also, Tyler Perry is in this. Oh, wait.

The Fighter

• 2010
• Biography
• Drama
• Sport

Christian Bale and Amy Adam's performances are solid. The story is good and I recommend this one.

Don't worry, I didn't forget about Mark Wahlberg's performance. It was good but that role was made for Mark and I didn't see him embody a different person so he gets no kudos.

Arena

• 1989
• Sci-fi
• Sport

Imagine Mike Tyson's Punch-out and The Fifth Element had a baby. Arena is that baby.

Surprisingly, the film's bad acting and all around cheesiness is not the cringe factor here. It's all the extra actors in the background. If you missed it the first time and hate yourself enough to watch this again, pay attention to the crowd.

Invictus

• 2009
• Biography
• Drama
• History
• Sport

Inspirational sports movie with a heavy dose of politics in the mix. It's good but my least favorite from Clint Eastwood. It's nowhere close to being a bad movie, it's just that I'm spoiled with Eastwood's hard-hitting dramas.

The movie is well-done, minus the climax. That was one of the most pointless climaxes I have seen. Patton Oswalt did a great job and congrats to Robert Siegel on his directorial debut. Good movie but definitely not everyone.

You would think a movie with Vinnie Jones and Jason Statham about inmates that start a prison soccer league would be funny and crazy, huh? It's not. It's boring as hell!

Shaolin Soccer

Another really funny and silly Stephen Chow movie. Check out his previous one Kung Fu Hustle. Ignore this American trailer, the film itself is much funnier than this.

We used to talked about this movie so much in elementary school. It was quite violent and badass for its time.

Seabiscuit

Inspiring, moving, and beautifully-shot movie about horse racing. Kids, when you grow up to be an adult with a gambling problem, remember to bet it all on the weirdest names.

This isn't nearly as funny as I was hoping it was going to be.

Back in the 80's, America had an obsession with ninjas and this is the hilarious movie that spawned from that.

The Wrestler

Awesome direction by Darren Aronofsky and a great script. This is a fantastic drama that lives up to what it says, “Witness the resurrection of Mickey Rourke.” And Marisa Tomei gets naked a few times.

A dumb Jack Black movie. It's so stupid that the only funny part was when he farted right before jumping on that guy.

Run Fatboy Run

• 2007
• Comedy
• Romance
• Sport

This is a boring comedy with a pointless plot. The guy basically tries to win his ex-fiance back by getting into shape and running a marathon. It would have made more sense if the girl was an Olympic track star but she's just a regular girl.

Do you know how to impress girls like that? You don't. You find someone else worth impressing.

Matthew McConaughey is a genius at making Football bets. He links up with Al Pacino and they make a lot of money, while bonding over drinks and clichés.

Million Dollar Baby

Hilary Swank, Morgan Freeman, and of course, Clint Eastwood. All at their best in another one of Eastwood's stellar dramas. You're going to go through the emotional process of how Frankie Dunn (Eastwood) feels about Maggie Fitzgerald (Swank) from their rough beginning to their bonding moments.
