I was in the mood for '80's high fantasy and it doesn't get any better than this one.

If you like this genre, my personal favourite is The Princess Bride

My father who officiated at FKG and my wedding (now 19 years ago) opened with that line at the ceremony. Huge hit.

Of Miracles and Men. An ESPN 30 for 30 that centered a bit on the 1980 miracle on ice team, but from the Russian point of view. Slava Fetisov was featured quite a bit. He helped pave the way for Russian players to make the move to the NHL, and as I'm sure a few on this forum know helped the Red Wings win two Stanley Cups in the 90's. Very interesting if you are a hockey fan, IMO.

I watched that when it came out - very interesting for sure. I can only imagine the stuff that guys like Fetisov and Larionov have been through in their life.

To bring it back to wine, I remember back when Larionov was on the Wings, he said he would drink 2 glasses of red wine everyday. If it worked for that guy, it must be good!

Jaco--2014--82pts.

I didn't know this existed until I saw it on Netflix. This is a documentary about the great bass player Jaco Pastorius, produced by Robert Trujillo of all people. Does go on a little too long at hours, but it does moves along at a good clip. There are interviews with everyone from Wayne Shorter (all bow down) to Sting, but it's the story of great promise to early destruction, that touches. One thing you learn about the music biz is the giant egos from Joni Mitchell (well you knew that) to the apparent villain Joe Zawinul (who hates the first song I heard of Jaco's which blew me away--Teen Town.)

Recommended.

Remember--79pts.

I used to be a big fan of director Atom Egoyan, but he lost his way a long time ago. This is one of his better efforts in 20 years, but still no masterpiece. Holocaust survivor Christopher Plummer, now in a nursing home, goes on a mission of revenge for his family's deaths in Auschwitz. Guiding his effort is fellow home resident Martin Landau (who interesting enough turns out looking like he did when he wore an old man disguises on Mission Impossible.)

Full of surprises, and non-surprises (don't read the credits to get an actor appearance surprise), it ultimately fails, but still is a good time passer.

(And how about that perhaps not purposeful tip of the hat to Memento and that Plummer plays the piano without double?)
