“80 For Brady” REVIEW
“American Underdog” Review
128 Annual Tradition in Pasadena, Calif.
“Concussion” REVIEW
The true story about the mysterious deaths of nearly an entire football team is still drawing crowds to the theaters nearly a month after it came to the big screen Christmas weekend.
Concussion stars Will Smith as Dr. Omalu Bennet, an accomplished pathologist, who through a series of autopsies, discovers that repeated concussions during normal football play has resulted in brain damage. It’s a story of perseverance as Bennet (Smith) faces resistance from the NFL as he continues to uncover the truth and prevent more players from falling. Concussion also stars Alec Baldwin, as Dr. Julian Bailes, one of the lead NFL physician, who goes from fighting against Bennet to realizing the reality and fighting for truth.
At just over two hours, it’s an emotional drama that has viewers routing for science rather then an all American pastime called football. Smith’s and Baldwin’s performances are exceptional, and will hold your attention right away.
Concussion, opened in theaters December 25, and to date has earned over 33 million domestically. It’s currently playing in a theater near you.
Hero Defies Odds
Based on the true story of college football star, who leads his team to the championship and then faces a life altering condition just weeks before the Sugar Bowl championship.
My All American stars Finn Wittrock as Freddie Steinmark, the hero both on and off the football field, Sarah Bolger as his girlfriend, Linda, who stands behind him through triumph and tragedy and Aaron Eckhart as the coach who see potential in a hard working boy with limited money for college.
Overall, it’s a story that will have you routing for the underdog from college acceptance to injury and conquer. Very well done story, it captures the struggle of a true hero in the eyes of college football as well as the camaraderie of a football team, when one of their own faces tragedy.
My All American opens in theaters November 13 and a must see for everyone.
