One course, not many modes, but hundreds of hours played. Waialae Country Club: True Golf Classics is a simple N64 golf game that earns its legacy through memories as much as gameplay. Read the review in the third installment of Retro WedNESday!

Draft Day is a genuinely interesting behind the scenes look at how the NFL operates on the biggest day of the calendar. Great cast, compelling premise, but the writers didn't trust their own story enough to leave well enough alone.

Foxcatcher is a meticulously crafted, well researched, and fantastically acted film. That said, I found it to be kind of a dull and ponderous movie, although this is the kind of thing you don’t watch for entertainment as much as for the experience. Steve Carrel plays John DuPont, a spoiled billionaire by birth opens up the wrestling program that gives this movie its’ name. When Dupont invites noted Olympic wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) to move up to his sprawling private kingdom and…

This movie packs the feels. Like I said with the last review of Rocky 5, I find it works best if you skip the third and fourth installments of this series to keep things on an even keel, and for this movie, perhaps just skipping straight from the first movie this one is best for continuity’s sake. This movie is just one big sentimental moment after another, to the point you could basically call it a male chick flick, which sounds bad, but works perfectly. There are many nice nods to the original…

It is not exactly breaking news, that out of all the Rocky movies, this one gets the most flack. In reality, I think with a different release date it might have been much more favorably regarded. This movie attempts the impossible though, as far as bringing a series that had shot into the stratosphere in terms of comic book level mania back into some semblance of the real down and dirty world in which the original movie had existed. At this point in time, there was just no getting that…

Rocky IV is the culmination of the 1980s Ronald Reagan vision of corporate America in all its gaudy excess, and is by far, the most ridiculous of all the Rocky movies, which is quite the accomplishment. It was a big enough stretch that a club fighter on his last legs could go the distance with an Ali like heavyweight champ, let alone defeat him, let alone have ten successful championship defenses, defeat a Mike Tyson like young contender; now he’s going to single handedly end the cold war a good…

This may be the guiltiest of all the big budget guilty pleasure sports movies made in the 1980s. In the 1980s the Rocky movies became pretty much an extended music video. This time around the hit song of the “album” was Eye of the Tiger by Survivor, a song that has become the universal anthem for boxing training, tied perhaps only with the original Rocky theme itself. Compared to the first two movies this is a complete comic book cartoon level romp. Now that said, as many real boxers have…

I reviewed the original Rocky movie a few months back here on QDR and now wished I had waited a bit for the sake of continuity, but, perhaps it is for the best for the original movie to kind of exist on its own in a world where the sequels don’t have to exist as cannon. That said, if you’re looking for a blue print on how to produce a sequel this is it in my mind. As most will recall the end of the first Rocky film saw beloved Italian Stallion Rocky Balboa lose a gut wrenching 15 round decision…

Also along the way the bad guys rape Van Damme’s girl, kidnap his…

This is a very interesting and historically significant film for a number of reasons. In the opening scene we see Muhammad Ali (Still Cassius Clay at the time) in a boxing match with Mountain Rivera (Anthony Quinn) in a bout so one sided it forces Rivera to retire. Facing retirement now, Rivera finds that he has few marketable skills and that his only option may be to begin a career in the, to him, detestable “rigged” world of professional wrestling. Wrestling fans be forewarned here, the world…
