Eugene, an inner-city teen, escapes the city streets and hides away on a Midwest city rooftop during the Fourth of July holiday. He is found by Holly, a widowed alcoholic, who lives in the secluded rooftop dwelling with her Boston terrier. They commit to spending the day together above the city as they wait for a hopeful resolution to Eugene’s situation. As the day passes, a friendship grows even as their personal realities begin to catch up with them.

The stylistics of documentary filmmaking helped wipe out the old Hollywood way of doing things, and this sharp look at Olympic skiing is a prime example. Michael Ritchie became a director to be watched filming a killer competitor (Robert Redford), a blaze on the ski slopes and an Sob in every other aspect of his life. The style still looks fresh, 36 years later. Downhill Racer Blu-ray The Criterion Collection 494 1969 / Color / 1:85 widescreen / 101 min. / available through The Criterion Collection / Street Date December 1, 2015 / 39.95 Starring Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Camilla Sparv, Dabney Coleman, Karl Michael Vogler, Jim McMullan, Kathleen Crowley, Carole Carle. Cinematography Brian Probyn Film Editor Richard A. Harris Original Music Kenyon Hopkins Written by James Salter from a book by Oakley Hall Produced by Richard Gregson Directed by Michael Ritchie

Well, the temps are dropping, and the leaves are changing. That can only mean one thing: better check on furnace. Or get the old rake out. Of course, that’s unless you’re a sports fan. Then, for the most part, it’s football all the time (just seems like it to the rest of us). And what better way to lure those fans away from their TVs and bars? Why Hollywood has been passing the ole’ pigskin for decades, even before sound (Harold Lloyd in The Freshman has quite a spectacular final game). There are comedies and dramas, the latter has mostly been the province of the true story. Jim Thorpe, All American (as was coach Knute Rockne) and Invincible to name a few. And, of course, there’s that much beloved crowd-pleaser Rudy. Well, all you gridiron movie lovers, here’s a new flick from the same fellow that penned that underdog story.

During the NBA finals, a commercial aired that made the case against the Washington, D.C.-based NFL team nickname, The Redskins.
Anti-Redskins Ad
Controversy over the team’s nickname and mascot has swelled in recent years, with people urging the franchise to adopt a new nickname and mascot. The majority of the complaints have fallen on deaf ears, with no one taking action at the organizational level to do away with the offensive name.
In the two-minute add, put together by the Yocka Dehe Wintun Nation, Native Americans throughout history are pictured and mentioned by name, including Crazy Horse, Geronimo and Jim Thorpe. “Underserved, struggling, resilient,” is heard in the voiceover, “Unyielding, strong, indomitable.”
It continues, “Native Americans call themselves many things. The one thing they don’t call themselves…” Though “redskins” isn’t said, the video ends with a close-up of the Washington Redskins helmet next to a football.

A quarter-century ago, Kevin Costner hit a double-play, following up "Bull Durham" with "Field of Dreams" and becoming king of the sports movie. Twenty-five years later, as "Field of Dreams" marks its 25th anniversary (it was released on April 21, 1989), Costner is back with "Draft Day." The movie's about football, not baseball, and Costner's character plays in the executive suite, not on the field, but his mere presence still offers a reminder of great sports movies past.
And after all, isn't nostalgia a key element of sports movies? "Field of Dreams" makes this explicit -- we long for the sports heroes of our childhood, for a supposed long-gone golden age of our preferred sport, as a way of connecting with our past and bridging the generational divide that separates us as adults from our parents. Sports movies offer more than just the drama of winners and losers, or the journey from dream to achievement,...

A former star receiver for the Chicago Bears football team, Harlon Hill, died Thursday at age 80, the Associated Press reports. A graduate of Florence State Teachers College, now known as the University of North Alabama, Hill played in the NFL for nine seasons.
He was picked in the 15th round of the 1954 draft by the Chicago Bears, winning the very first Jim Thorpe Award, as the league's most valuable player, in 1955. After playing with the Bears until 1961, he then spent a short amount of time with both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Detroit Lions.
In 1986, the Ncaa awarded the Harlon Hill Trophy for the first time, recognizing football's Division II player of the year. His death was confirmed by Jeff Hodges, chairman of the National Harlon Hill Award Committee.

Champion of Native American rights across five decades
On 27 February 1973, members and supporters of the American Indian Movement (Aim), mostly Lakota Sioux, occupied the town of Wounded Knee, South Dakota – the site of what is sometimes described as the last battle of the Indian wars, where in December 1890 the Us 7th Cavalry, the regiment led by General Custer at the Little Big Horn, massacred some 350 Lakota, mostly women and children.
The 300 protesters were soon surrounded by some 800 federal marshals, FBI agents and national guardsmen in a siege that lasted 71 days and led to the deaths of two Native Americans, one a Cherokee, and left one agent paralysed.
As the spokesman for Aim brought to Washington to negotiate, Russell Means, who has died aged 72 after suffering from throat cancer, became the leading face of Native Americans. Viewed as the most notorious Indian since Sitting Bull, he assumed a position of de...

"Charlie Chan at the Olympics" (1937): Yes, really. Footage from the previous year's Berlin Olympics figures into this caper that takes the sleuth (Warner Oland) to those Games.
"Jim Thorpe - All American" (1951): Burt Lancaster surely had the physique for the title role in this portrait of the Native American who medaled in both the pentathlon and decathlon.
"Walk, Don't Run" (1966): Cary Grant made his final screen appearance in this comedy set against the backdrop of the Tokyo Olympics, where scarce quarters make roommates of strangers (Grant, Samantha Eggar, Jim Hutton).
"Chariots of Fire" (1981): Generally acknowledged as the top Olympics movie to date, confirmed by its Oscar for best picture, director Hugh Hudson's drama casts Ben Cross and Ian Charleson as British competitors in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris.
"Personal Best" (1982): An athlete (Mariel Hemingway) becomes deeply involved with a rival (Patrice Donnelly) for a spot on the U.

I'm going to shock you with my findings here, but I believe spring is the most underrepresented season in movies. "Summer" is practically its own genre, fall gets plenty of Halloween-themed flicks, and winter films are downright ubiquitous. Problem is, spring is the time of year when the worst movies come out, so it's difficult to pinpoint the season's best finds. Lo and behold, we've done it: Here are our nine favorite movies that remind us spring's sassy freshness. There's even baseball! I can't believe it either.

If you're like me, spring means one thing. Say it with me! A Strange, Isolating Weariness!

With "Mad Men" swinging back into action this past weekend, and "Game of Thrones" premiering on Sunday (unless 'tis all an elaborate April Fools jest), it seems a perfect time to round up all of the TV news coming our way this week.
Fresh off her excruciating hosting return to "Saturday Night Live," self-aware trainwreck Lindsay Lohan has now signed on to appear as national talent judge Lindsay Lohan in an upcoming episode of "Glee," another pop-culture entity once well-respected but banished to a primetime punchline. Within the show, Lohan herself has been the target of many jokes, but this confirms her comeback strategy to snuff out her detractors by appearing on the offensive source itself. See for yourself when the new season continues on April 10th on Fox. [People]

AMC continues it's TV dominance, and is developing a football drama called The Real All Americans. THR reports that the network is in the early stages of development on the football drama. The project is based on Sally Jenkins’ book about the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Carlisle, Penn. It will tell the story of "the school's storied football program created by U.S. cavalry officer Richard Henry Pratt, an abolitionist and early equal rights proponent who made a harrowing journey to the Dakota Territory in 1879 to recruit the school's first students."
Tommy Lee Jones is currently in talks to step behind the camera to direct the pilot. The script is being penned by Nicholas Meyer (writer of various Star Trek films), with Harry J. Ufland on board as producer.

AMC is working on a college-football drama set around the turn of the twentieth century at the Carlilse Indian Industrial School. The Hollywood Reporter writes that the show, called The Real All Americans and based on the nonfiction book of the same name, is in its early stages of development, with Tommy Lee Jones in talks to direct the pilot. The football team for Carlisle was among the winningest in college football history — Jim Thorpe played for them, Glenn "Pop" Warner was one of their coaches, and the team transformed football into the fast game we know today. The school itself, though, presents a way less charming story: The entire premise was "assimilation" for all Native Americans, and the school's motto was "To civilize the Indian, get him into civilization. To keep him civilized, let him stay." Yeesh.

For those of us in need of something to fill the football-and-weeping niche vacated by the much-missed "Friday Night Lights," AMC is developing a period football drama entitled "The Real All Americans" that looks like it could totally hit the spot. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series is based on Sally Jenkins' book of the same name about Pennsylvania's Carlisle Indian Industrial School (which operated from 1879–1918) and its football program, created by U.S. cavalry officer and abolitionist Richard Henry Pratt. The school's legacy is, let's say, a complicated one -- Pratt was focused on assimilation, his motto "Kill the Indian and the save the man." The football program, though, had an outstanding record and numbered among its participants coach Glenn "Pop" Warner and Olympic athlete Jim Thorpe. Tommy Lee Jones -- who played offensive tackle on Harvard's undefeated...

The buttock from the famous bronze statue of Saddam Hussain has reportedly been hidden in a secret location in Derby. Ex-sas soldier Nigel Ely, 52, picked up the 2ft piece of the statue after it was hauled down in April 2003, Derby Telegraph reports. Ely put the object up for auction in October but it failed to meet its £250,000 reserve. He then signed it over to Derby-based war relic dealer Trebletap, but the Iraqi authorities have since lobbied for its return as a "cultural antiquity". "I'm quite cheesed off about it, really," he told the newspaper. "Why the Iraqi government are wanting it back now, I don't know. "In my point of view, until we can find the legal position of the item, then hiding it is the best thing to do." Jim Thorpe, director of Trebletap added: "As far as Trebletap (more)...

Burt Lancaster on TCM: The Leopard, Scorpio, The Killers I haven't watched Michael Winner's Scorpio (1973), an unflattering portrayal of Us foreign policy and the CIA that reunited Lancaster with his The Leopard co-star Alain Delon. As per the TCM synopsis, "a CIA hit man [Lancaster] is stalked by a former partner [Delon] when the agency turns on him." A Man for All Seasons' Best Actor Oscar winner Paul Scofield and Gayle Hunnicutt are also in the cast. Robert Siodmak's 1946 film noir The Killers is one of the best-looking efforts in the genre thanks to Elwood Bredell's glistening black-and-white cinematography. Although The Killers turned newcomer Lancaster into a major star, as far as I'm concerned this adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's short story belongs to Ava Gardner; in fact, The Killers could just as easily have been called "The Leopardess (La gattaparda)." Edmond O'Brien co-stars. For The Killers, Siodmak...

LeBron James has been vilified for his ego, self-indulgence, and the free-agency spectacle of The Decision to join the Miami Heat. But he should be judged only on his NBA work-and his playoffs performance has been superb, writes sometime critic Buzz Bissinger.
The time has come to, if not forgive LeBron James, then at the very least to forget.

If what you hear in the background sounds like somebody gagging, it is indeed myself, forced to ingest some of my own words.

And yet my criticism of him on Twitter and numerous radio shows was withering in the epic self-immolation of how he handled his free-agency spectacle last year.
