A sex comedy about baseball and why the hell not! I guess if you're a fan baseball can be a real turn-on and it certainly is for Susan Sarandon, the fan who makes a point of sleeping with a new player each season and this season it's the turn of big lug Tim Robbins and let's just say that in or out of the sack these two are hot but then so is Kevin Costner as the older player assigned to Robbins' case leaving Sarandon with something of a dilemma. Written, (brilliantly), and directed, (brilliantly), by Ron Shelton and terrifically acted by the three leading actors this had classic written all over it when it appeared in 1988 and it's stood the test of time beautifully. "Bull Durham" is a sex comedy that is both sexy and funny and, believe it or not, it's pretty good on baseball, too.
The films reviewed here represent those I have liked or loved over the years. It is not a list of my favourite films but all the films reviewed here are worth seeing and worth seeking out. I know many of you won't agree with me on a lot of these but hopefully you will grant me, and the films that appear here, our place in the sun. Thanks for reading.
