 | | 24. Heart of the Game | | | Director: Ward Serrell | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 |  | The Heart of the Game - DVD By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/15/2007 9:15 PM | |
What is it about sports that makes us snap to attention? It’s been a good 12 years since Steve James went and blew everyone’s mind with Hoop Dreams, and we’re still obsessed with sports as tool for personal triumph. Although, it hasn’t gone all-too-well with narratives (I offer Glory Road, Remember the Titans, and For Love of the Game into evidence) but as far as documentaries go, the reputation seems pretty untarnished. Audiences, for quite some time, love the idea of the underdog winning and society has been grateful enough to give us plenty of stories to turn into tear-drenched sentiment and well-meaning Channel 6 special reports. Ward Serrill knows this, but his documentary isn’t unforgivable tear jerking, at least not completely. read the full review | |

 | | 37. Tyson | | | Director: James Toback | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/26/2010 | | Tyson - DVD Review By: Jay Antani - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/7/2009 7:48 PM | |
As James Toback's Tyson opens, what hits you first is the technique. The idea behind the project is pretty simple -- essentially, this is an extended interview with infamous boxer Mike Tyson as he reminiscences about his roots, and on the highs and lows of his career and private life. But in crafting what is otherwise a straightforward personal testimony by the former (and disgraced) heavyweight, Toback opts for a dynamic, eye-filling presentation: He employs split-screens that balance the interview with archival photos and video footage that together form a mosaic of one man's recollections. read the full review | |

 | | 39. Sicko | | | Starring: Michael Moore Director: Michael Moore | | Format: DVD Release Date: 5/20/2008 | User Rating: 5 | | Sicko - DVD Review By: Margaret Williams - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 11/6/2007 7:34 AM | | The strength of the film Sicko lies in the editing, music, and humorous narration by Moore himself. It is full of intense interviews, saddening life stories, and certainly builds on the frustrations and sympathy for people who have lost their homes and their hope, all because the government won't step in to regulate the ripping off of citizens by corporations. Sicko is to health care as Supersize Me is to the fast food industry. Moore is asking for the government to realize that, "all men are created equal," no matter how much medical need they have. read the full review | |
