The Boys in the Boat (2023)

A 1930s-set story centered on the University of Washington's rowing team, from their Depression-era beginnings to winning gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

A really uplifting and feel good sports drama set in the 1930s. It is predictable but yet still very enjoyable. I really enjoyed it. This is also an excellent movie that you can watch with the whole family.

P.S. I think Callum Turner should throw in his name into the "next Bond" ring. I think he has the potential to make an excellent Bond.

Pretty good story, it’s excellent for a biography. In the end, it took family to save Kevin from the family curse. Must Watch if you are into pro wrestling or biographies.

The Iron Claw is a 2023 biographical sports drama film written and directed by Sean Durkin. Based on the life of professional wrestler Kevin Von Erich and the Von Erich family, the film stars Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney, Holt McCallany, and Lily James.

Sad that one of my new favorite Netflix series has like NO following on Tumblr because it's freaking amazing.

Big strong chubby men being badasses and trying to become the best in their sport! A hilarious main character who refuses to take bullshit and learns to turn his hard-headedness from a weakness into a strength. Bare man booties all the time. Big soft tummies hiding layers of muscle. A great soundtrack. Compelling storylines.

Please watch it because I need them to make another season. 😭

Recently Viewed: The First Slam Dunk

This one was kind of a cheat. The Japan Cuts screening of The First Slam Dunk sold out almost immediately after tickets became available to the public. That’s hardly surprising: it’s an adaptation of a beloved manga series, the popularity of which rivals Dragon Ball both in its native country and abroad. Fortunately, the venerable GKIDS had already acquired the foreign distribution rights, so I was able to catch it at AMC tonight. I’ll just pretend that I saw it at the festival…

Regardless of the venue, the film is a spectacular sports drama, depicting basketball with an immersive intensity reminiscent of Raging Bull’s approach to boxing. The animation, which borders on naturalistic without sacrificing the exaggerated expressionism that makes cartoons so universally appealing, emphasizes such minute details as glistening beads of sweat, the folds and wrinkles in the fabric of the uniforms, and the rough texture of the ball—tactile sensations that make the audience participants in the action, rather than passive observers. The conflict isn’t merely physical, however; through editing, voiceover narration, and a nonlinear narrative structure that offers brief glimpses of the characters’ backstories and motivations, director Takehiko Inoue delves into the psychology of the game. Slow-motion, for example, extends crucial seconds to excruciatingly tense minutes. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the players occasionally move with such speed and desperation that they appear to outrun color, sound, and even the very medium, literally unraveling into sketchy line art.

In terms of its plot, The First Slam Dunk is a fairly traditional underdog story—and that familiarity doesn’t diminish its quality in the slightest. Deliciously suspenseful, emotionally engrossing, and inherently cinematic, the movie is a triumph of style and substance; it deserves every bit of the critical acclaim and commercial success that it’s earned.

Boxing/sports stories are excellent models for learning story structure. We have a clear setup(of characters, relationships, conflict), progress, and payoff.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and AQ Prime Stream to Usher in a New Age of Sports Dramas

Floyd Mayweather Jr. was busy with his engagements left and right during his third visit to the Philippines, two of those thanks to one of the nation’s most successful MLM companies, Frontrow International. When he’s not playing basketball or eating street food in the busy streets of Manila, he is doing endorsement shoots. One of his newest endorsements is for AQ Prime Stream, a snazzy new…

Run on is an entertaining series. 5 episodes in and I am really enjoying it. It is one of those charming stories where every character is so deep, every interaction so meaningful, it makes you marvel at the complexity of the writer. The only drawback, and the biggest one, is that it is so slow.

Everyting drags on. The pace they set is complementary to the story, but it is taking quiet a while to get used to it. Twenty minutes feel like an hour, and my brain, at places cannot comprehend why the episode did not end, or how I am still at ep4 when I'm pretty sure it ended at a certain point.

These a lot to come and since I'm feeling a slow burn, I'm buckled it. But I just hope it doesn't get boring.
