  • White Men Can't Jump [1992]White Men Can't Jump | DVD | (06/10/2003) from £8.36   |  Saving you £-2.37 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

    White Men Can't Jump, writer-director Ron Shelton's 1992 follow-up to the baseball comedy-drama Bull Durham, involves a different sport: basketball, as played on the neighbourhood hustler circuit. Woody Harrelson is Billy Hoyle, a good shooter using his white complexion to fool black players into thinking he can be stomped in easy bets. Billy's banter-filled matchup against Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) on a public court leads to a partnership in which Sidney becomes Billy's manager, taking the white outsider on a tour of the tougher sections of Los Angeles, where he plays homeboys for a few bucks. Inevitably, the two come apart over their innate competitiveness, a situation that has to be re-evaluated after Billy gets into trouble with some underworld creditors. Meanwhile, Billy's girlfriend (Rosie Perez) sits at home preparing herself for a maybe-someday appearance on Jeopardy. As with all of Shelton's sports-related films (Tin Cup, his script for The Best of Times), White Men Can't Jump is less about the fine points of the game than it is the rules by which players survive it. The script is literate and crackling with wit and satire (a scene in which a politician sponsors a black-white "solidarity" game is hilarious). The actors are entirely in sync, and the scenes under and around the hoops are a thrill to watch. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

  • Tin Cup [1996]Tin Cup | DVD | (11/05/1998) from £7.19   |  Saving you £6.80 (94.58%)   |  RRP £13.99

    One of the better romantic comedies of the 1990s, this quirky love story stars Kevin Costner as washed-up golf pro, Roy "Tin Cup" McAvoy, who has the singular misfortune of falling in love with the girlfriend (Rene Russo) of his arch rival (Don Johnson). Although he is inspired to re-ignite his golf career, challenge his opponent in the US Open, and win the affection of the woman of his dreams, McAvoy has just one flaw: he's a show off when he should just focus on playing the game. Reunited with his Bull Durham writer-director Ron Shelton, Costner fits into his Tin Cup role like a favourite pair of shoes and costar Cheech Marin scores a memorable scene-stealing comeback as McAvoy's best buddy, Romeo Posar. Mixing his love of sports with his flair for fresh, comedic dialogue, Shelton takes this enjoyable movie down unexpected detours (although some may find it a bit too long), and his characters are delightfully unpredictable. --Jeff Shannon

    In 1993 Michael Jordan was probably the biggest sports star on the planet, having led the Chicago Bulls to three NBA Championships in a row and universally acclaimed as the greatest basketball player of all time. At the very height of his powers, at the peak of his success, he walked away from the sport......and took up professional baseball. But the journey was not just about the challenges of a new game: Jordan went from enjoying success at the top of his chosen sport to the workaday life of a struggling Minor League ball player. He joined a team in the lower leagues, playing a season with Alabama's Birmingham Barons, and exchanged the world of top facilities and private planes for one of run-down stadia and riding the team bus with the guys.What prompted Jordan to take so drastic a step in his career, and how did he cope with being just another name on the team sheet, a player of average ability, rather than a superstar? This memorable film reveals the determination that lies at the heart of a true champion.
