The Sandlot is a cult classic more for the portrayals of tweener life in the 1990s than for the baseball, but the combination is charming and rings true for fans of any age who ever stepped on a backyard field.

Tom Hanks and Barkhad Abdi give powerful performances as antagonists struggling to gain control of a cargo ship attacked by pirates off the coast of East Africa. One of the more overlooked of Hanks movies, but well worth the time.
Michael Bay's sci-fi action film Armageddon comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. The English track gives every speaker in the system a real workout. There are no subtitles on this release. Supplemental materials include theatrical trailers and the music video for Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." This disc will please casual fans of the film, but those looking for a deeper understanding of the film will want to look at the Criterion DVD release.

Armageddon is pure junk food. The cast is earnest and heroic, but the plot is mad fanasty. But it was my well driller father's favorite movie because, well, no one makes movies about well drillers saving the world.

Drew Barrymore and Algelica Huston give touching performances as antagonists in the context of a retelling of the Cinderella story. Historians will cringe at the impossible details the plot caused by the mixing of actual Renaissance nobility with fictional characters. Still, it's a feel-good story that viewers will wish really happened.

Big is the movie that made Tom Hanks a star. Following a unremarkable TV sitcom and a string of light movie sitcoms, Hanks broke through with his sensitive and convincing turn as a kid magically placed into the body of a man.

42 is not the perfect movie from a baseball perspective -- there's not enough baseball in the movie. However, the movie relates the human backstory of one of the most important players in baseball history -- how Jackie Robinson integrated Major League Baseball in the face of intense abuse from ubiqiutous racism while maintaining his dignity and a Hall of Fame level of performance. The cast doesn't reach quite that level, but despite some melodramatic moments, the movie is worth seeing by all lovers of baseball.

"Moneyball" is a term used to describe the application of statistical methods of analysis to the game of baseball, which may result in adoption of practices counterintuitive to the way baseball has been traditionally played. The movie relates how the use of these practices, which have spread throughout baseball, began in Oakland. Brad Pitt gives an understated but sensitive performance as the Athletics' general manager beset by skepticism among his own staff and a difficult personal life.

Hidden Figures is a powerful exposition of how three African-American women overcame sexism and racism to make incomparable contributions to the US space program during the 1960s. The movie demonstrates far better than academic works how cruel and wasteful the Jim Crow system was.
On the technical side, this was the first 4K DVD I've viewed. I was blown away by the bright, true colors and sharp resolution.
