Sugar – A Film Review

Posted by realitypod on June 21, 2009

OK not every film ends with a happiness that everyone can relate too.. I certainly had to understand the complexities of this film and get my head round what was actually happening here. This film does not have an all star line up and its not your average Hollywood feel good factor film. What this film does give you is a wonderful insight to the American global buying power and how they have exploited this Dominican baseball pitcher in to the country and taking him on a journey through excitement, commitment, loneliness and the general feeling of an illegal alien and somehow finding a home and happiness in the BIG APPLE! Yep! New York!

Sugar, is about a young Dominican baseball Pitcher’s journey to fame and it takes you on a slow building emotional journey with many twists and turns that will make you realize just how this professional baseball player has had to move countries, leave his family and settle in a country who has little to offer his culture. This is a tall  dream of hope in order to achieve iconic status in the game of major league baseball.

He has to over come some real hard knocks in this journey to achieve what he really wants…… a place in the world where he finally feels accepted!

I really recommend going to see this film, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s account of a young Dominican pitcher’s experiences in the competitive world of US baseball is a powerful and ambitious follow-up to their startlingly assured feature debut (HALF NELSON). But just as their first film was not your average high school drama, nor is SUGAR even close to being just another American sports movie.

Enjoy!

Fast & Furious – Film trailer!

Posted by realitypod on April 1, 2009

fast-posterUniversal Studio’s brings you the long awaited remodeled Fast & Furious!!!! It’s cheesy, It’s hip, it’s almost gangster and yep! It’s boys with toys showing off the bling in a competitive ultimate show down! We at the realitypod.tv towers Love it! Bring it on Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, we are about to get ready in what is the biggest car race in history!!!!!! err well this year and o’yeah on screen!

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker reteam for the ultimate chapter of the franchise built on speed—Fast and Furious. Heading back to the streets where it all began, they rejoin Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert in the new high-octane action-thriller.

When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O’Conner (Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what’s possible behind the wheel.

Next week I will be doing a full review, as I will have had a chance to see it and digest it!
