Sugar [Blu-ray]

Sure Gladiator and Braveheart come out this week but frankly I didn’t really care for either one. Not that they weren’t well done and entertaining enough but for me they suffer from being Dude Flicks which just happens to be the opposite of Chick Flicks. Both types of flicks are often enjoyable but you tend to remember them about as long as it takes my projector’s lamp to cool down (2 minutes).

So the obvious pick this week was M*A*S*H that is until we ran across a movie that is far more worthwhile catching than watching M*A*S*H once again. Sugar is a baseball themed movie but like all great sports movies it isn’t about sports. Rather it looks at the life of a young pitcher as we get a glimpse into his world. One so well written, directed and acted you’ll forget the balls and strikes and hope he comes out a winner in life.

Every Tuesday we pick our favorite new Blu-ray release. When possible we spotlight lesser known titles as they are easily overlooked and often under-appreciated. Although occasionally a blockbuster becomes one for good reason and we won’t hold it against them. Our selections are based on entertainment value and takes into account the following weighted in the order listed.

  • Story-line
  • Acting
  • Overall execution of the movie
  • Our taste in movies
  • Video image
  • Audio mix

At times we will selection a concert, TV series or other material. The absolute deciding factor comes down to what we want to view in the theater on release day. If it tops that list it’s our pick!
