that changed the series' subsequent seasons. Hawkgirl and her relationship with John Stewart/Green Lantern is the focus of the feature, in which the alien heroine is forced to choose between her human love and her responsibility to her home planet when an invasion force is dispatched to Earth, and her Justice League partners--Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter and the Flash--must stop it. A solid 68 minutes of animated action for fans of the original comic books and the series, which subsequently changed its title to Justice League Unlimited and introduced other DC characters to the JL lineup after these episodes were aired. The Warner Bros. DVD offers several supplemental features, including cast and filmmaker i...  (less)

from unprecedented access to the ballpark, clubhouse, and front office, the film covers last year's journey from Spring Training to the epic and climactic encounter with the New York Yankees in the ALCS. While containing extremely candid footage from the perspective of the team, it also narrates the amazing highs and lows from the points of view of eight representative but vastly different fans (including the now famous Angry Bill), all of whom share one thing: a passion for the Red Sox. It reminds sports fans everywhere that it's about so much more than winning.  (less)

peaceful place to live and work. Montages of different scenes of American work, leisure, and school, with some artfully placed military footage as well pepper this false account of America. Scenes include kids reciting the pledge of allegiance, major-league baseball, NASA, night clubs, various church services, Native Americans, steel, auto, textile industries, construction of the World Trade Center, and more. There is even footage about Hollywood that includes scenes from a movie set with Barbra Streisand and Gene Kelly. Fascinating for its emphasis on the more conservative and mainstream elements of the 1960s, and its ill intended omission of the subversive and chaotic elements, makes A Day in America a paramount propaganda movie.  (less)

struggling baseball team praying for a pennant. Danny Glover plays George Knox, the frustrated coach of the California Angels, a ragtag team of major-league misfits who are down on their luck.

The team miraculously climbs back into the pennant race ... all the while learning to believe in themselves. With its heavenly mix of outrageous comedy, dazzling special effects, and amazing baseball action, Disney's ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD is an entertainment home run for the whole family!  (less)

games to 162, allowing weaker pitching into the major leagues and two New York Yankees teammates--the colorless Roger Maris and golden boy Mickey Mantle--to make an assault on the sport's ultimate record: Babe Ruth's 60 home runs. To add to the stew, baseball commissioner Ford Frick announced any record set in the last eight games of the season wouldn't count toward the official record; records had to be achieved in 154 games. Director Billy Crystal guarantees success for his movie in the perfect casting of the leads. Barry Pepper ( Saving Private Ryan 's religious sniper) is deft as Maris, and Thomas Jane is a perfect Mantle, a superman in a Yankee uniform. Despite the differences between family man Maris and hard-living Mantle, they form a rewarding friendship a...  (less)

an all-ages audience. Blessed with an awesome fastball, Morris nursed dreams of pitching for Major League Baseball during his 20s; injuries and bad luck, however, forced him to give up hope and become a teacher and coach. Years later, pressed by students and colleagues to try out for "the Show" one more time, Morris discovered he still had a powerful arm, and he was signed by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Rookie is at its best throughout this first chapter in Morris's midlife adventure, though the rest of the film finds fresh angles on more familiar baseball-movie conventions. Dennis Quaid is soulful and charismatic as Morris, perfect in his depiction of a man both thankful and startled that destiny has given one of the good guys his due. Appropriate for ...  (less)
