You’d be surprised how many baseball movies there are out there. And in all honesty most of them are pretty crappy. I think one of the main reasons is that they don’t seem to capture the “whole” picture. There may be a couple of flashy players that are entertaining. Perhaps a hot girl enters the mix.
But if you want a great movie. You need all the characters including the coach. One of my favorite baseball movies, Major League, was on yesterday. I couldn’t help but to realize how amazing Lou Brown was. When you think about it, it’s pretty easy to just toss in a coach into any movie, let alone one about our favorite past time. So when you can easily identify with and understand how awesome the coach is, it makes a baseball movie that much better.
Here are my picks for the five best fictional movie baseball coaches.
For anyone who’s seen the movie Blown Away with Tommy Lee Jones, obviously you don’t know your movies. This Blown Away is the true and only Blown Away in my eyes.
This is by far the hottest Nicole Eggert’s ever been and the awesomest the two Corey’s have ever been. P.S. how was this movie not rated NC-17? You see Eggert completely naked and getting oral stimulation from Corey Haim.
How as an actor can you not get completely infatuated with Eggert after making a flick like this? I would basically kill myself if I didn’t get to experience real life Eggert for at least a little while after shooting was done.
Last night I was watching Teen Wolf and with all due respect, it really pissed me off watching the basketball scenes… at least without the stunt guy who played the wolf. No offense to Michael J. Fox or his teammates but come on. When you have scenes where they flip out and cheer because they make a foul shot in the league championship, it’s kind of sad.
The only actor in that movie who knew how to shoot a basketball was the guy with red hair on the Beavers. I mean even Mick, the bad guy, had zero clue how to shoot a layup. I don’t know about you guys but I just can’t stand that stuff. Nothing is more annoying than sports scenes with guys who clearly can’t play sports.
That’s why I always appreciate an actor who has coordination. I mean is it so hard to cast a person who actually looks like they know how to play a sport? I guess it is.
In any event, here are 10 actors who are athletically coordinated
I mean Kevin Bacon really got it right in Footloose. When life is bringing you down and everything seems to be going wrong, get a beer, take your car to an abandoned warehouse and dance it up!
Miller Lite commercials have been a staple on television for nearly 40 years now. The evolution has been excellent but the campaign has always remained the same: Less Filling vs. Taste Great. It’s impressive that they’ve stuck with that slogan the entire time and yet find new ways to promote it.
In the 70’s and 80’s it was mostly athletes. In the 90’s you started seeing more actors and real bar scenes. Now? Now it’s the man’s league that has taken over. And I think John McGinley has done a nice job.
But here’s to all the classic Miller Lite Commercials. Enjoy
I’m not sure what producers decided that showing movies of crappy CGI prehistoric animals coupled with possibly the worst acting in the world would make Sci-Fi a better channel.
I’d like to share my opinion on this. It’s hasn’t. I mean how many abominable snowmen and megalodon shark movies can you guys show?
Yet somehow I find an hour has passed by before I turn these movies off. I think I’m just anticipating the creature and am enraptured by how bad the performances are. Eh, maybe it’s because they always have hot chicks.
Over the years I have grown to like the Oscar awards less and less. While some think it’s one of if not the greatest award shows that appreciates film, I happen to think it’s just another fancy shindig for the elite of society to celebrate being the elite of society.
However, that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a good acting, directing or even musical performance. And I certainly agree that accolades are deserved for these performances. Still though, I just don’t think it should be this grand spectacle that it is. The pre-shows and the red carpet, blah blah. Give it a rest.
Be that as it may, I still think there are some memorable moments that come with the Oscars. Here are ten that are pretty neat.

I would imagine that most of you have heard the story by now. About a week ago a couple of diving enthusiasts off the coast of Mexico were observing shark activity from within one of those protective cages. Well to make the long story short that cage wasn’t exactly as protective as they had hoped.
A 15 foot great white shark slammed head first into the cage shattering it and almost shattering the divers. Amazingly enough, this whole incident was caught on video and posted to Youtube the next day.
Personally I think sharks are amazing. I feel like you’re either deathly afraid of these things or infatuated. I fall in the latter category. And in honor of these eating machines I put together 10 awesome shark attack videos for your enjoyment (some of these are very graphic).
