Gina Carano Kicks Ass in Haywire

By: Danny Serratelli

For his new action flick, Haywire, director, Steven Soderbergh didn't want a star who could only pretend-fight. He wanted a female who can fight, and hopefully could act. After watching Gina Carano fight a huge fight in a spirited losing effort against Christina Cyborg, his interest in getting Gina onto the big screen was sparked. After he met with her, and talked for hours, he was sure he was right.

Similar to Soderbergh's Ocean's 11, the film boasts an all star cast, but the plot and structure do not match up with Carano's electricity on the big screen. Carano delivered the goods against men in fight scenes that are as shocking as they are exciting and real. The beauty of Carano in the role is how realistic she makes the fight scenes. Her intensity is unmatched in the fight scenes and it is amazing how attractive and sexy she is both during and in between giving out beatings. Brick City can not wait to see Gina back on the big screen again. While its not Soderbergh's best work, it is an action packed, entertaining film in which a star is born and it is highly recommended.

ABOUT REAL STEEL:

A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, “Real Steel” stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

Wahlberg Delivers the Story of “Irish” Micky Ward and his Heart in “The Fighter”

By: Danny Serratelli
Talk of a film about the life of “Irish” Micky Ward has been circulating around boxing circles for years. After promising Micky and his half brother Dicky Eklund that the film would get done, Mark Wahlberg went to great lengths to keep his promise. Wahlberg was almost as determined to get this film made as Micky Ward was in his 18 year career in the ring, and the determination of both of them pays off for the fans. Wahlberg explained, “I grew up 30 minutes from Micky’s neighborhood. I knew about this guy. I always wanted to play a fighter, too. And, hey, I’ve fulfilled most of my childhood fantasies through acting. This one was just tougher to fulfill.”

Both Matt Damon and Brad Pitt were involved in the project at certain points, but, ultimately, Wahlberg recruited the talented Christian Bale after seeing him at his daughter’s preschool and remembering his performance in “The Machinist”. Bale quickly agreed to take on the colorful role of Dicky and there are already rumors that he may receive his first academy award nomination for the portrayal, despite the fact that many had initially thought his performance was over the top.

Bale explained, “There were a couple of times I had to physically restrain Dicky from going and landing one right on David (director David O. Russell). Dicky did not initially understand that putting a whole life into two hours requires a little bit of license to take things and mix them up. He initially wanted everything to be portrayed exactly as it was.”

While critics will question the films accuracy it should be noted that it is not a documentary about Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund, rather, it is “based on a true story”. The film was shot on location in Lowell, Massachusetts with Dicky assisting the cast and crew in setting up and shooting in the authentic locations in the neighborhood. Ward’s assistant trainer Mickey O’Keefe also plays himself which adds more authenticity. Amy Adams also delivered a solid performance as Micky’s girlfriend, Charlene.

Danny Serratelli, Micky Ward, Wayne Johnsen and friends.
No film would be capable of having the heart of the real Micky Ward, but this film has spirit and will keep viewers emotionally involved even after they leave the theater. “I think other boxing movies haven’t been able to really capture the believability of being a champion,” Wahlberg says. “I wanted to go in there, make it real and take some hits. I also had to show that Micky had more heart than just about anybody else. This film is really about his heart.”

“I knew if I didn’t do him justice, he would kick the living shit out of me.” It is a story of brotherhood, family, conflict, resilience and redemption. It is the type of film that will make viewers relate with Ward and pull for him all the way through. While the film lays it on pretty thick, the fact is that most families are dysfunctional and most viewers will relate to the conflicts that Micky faces outside of the ring. People who are not boxing fans will definitely enjoy this film. Educated boxing people will also love the movie and recognize that inaccuracies regarding Wards record, weight, and belt did nothing to take away the heart of the film, the film still worked.

THE FIGHTER

Nothing is stronger than family

Micky Ward (MARK WAHLBERG) is a working-class boxing hero in the making.

Dicky Ecklund (CHRISTIAN BALE), his half-brother, is a former fighting legend in a tailspin.

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_zijS_UAtw

The Fighter, based on a stirring true story of second chances, follows these two totally opposite brothers who seem to be headed in reverse directions until, against all the odds, they come together to train for a historic title bout that will unite their fractured family, redeem their pasts and, at last, give their hard-luck town what it’s been waiting for: something to believe in.

The story unfolds on the gritty, blue-collar streets of Lowell, Mass, where Dicky was once the town’s pride, having gone the distance with the world-famous champ Sugar Ray Leonard. Since then, Dicky, much like the town that once idolized him, has taken his knocks and hit rock-bottom.

Younger brother Micky, meanwhile, has become the family’s fighter and last hope, but he keeps getting punished in the ring. Dicky and Micky’s tougher-than-nails mother, Alice (MELISSA LEO), manages his flailing career while Dicky serves as his highly unreliable trainer and a tribe of seven sisters are his wincing cheering section. When Micky’s latest fight nearly kills him, it looks like it could all be over – until his iron-willed new girlfriend, Charlene (AMY ADAMS), convinces him to do the unthinkable: split with his family, pursue his own interests and train without his increasingly volatile and criminal brother.

BOOK REVIEW; THE TERROR OF TERRE HAUTE...Bud Taylor And The 1920's.

AUTHOR; John D. Wright

THIS was a great book! When I received it I had heard of Charles "Bud" Taylor. I knew he was in the Hall Of Fame but he was a fighter from the past. I really knew little about him. I know better now thanks to author John D. Wright. John's labor of love brought to light a career forgotten. A career that should be remembered. Bud Taylor was a hell of fighter. He was a hell of a man too and Mr.Wright covers all the bases.

The names on Bud Taylor's record are impressive to say the least. Just a sample...How about Memphis Pal Moore, Pancho Villa, Charley Phil Rosenberg, Carl Tremaine, Bushy Callahan, Jimmy McLarnin, Tony Canzoneri, Al Singer, Fidel La Barba and Battling Battalino. Need I say more ? This man could fight ! After reviewing Bud's record I have no doubt that Mr. Taylor is where he belongs...In the Hall Of Fame.

In this book though John D.Wright covers much more then Taylor's ring accomplishments. He told a story of a man, Bud Taylor.The good, bad and the tragic. This is an outstanding story and a great read. I highly recommend this book. One of the best I've read in years.

To order this book go to;

The price is $20.00

It is well worth it !

HANDS OF STONE : The Life And Legend Of Roberto Duran

Book Review
By: Jim Amato

Author: Christian Giudice

Roberto Duran is my favorite fighter of all time. Because of this fact I thought I may be a little bias in my opinion of the book " Hands Of Stone ". Would I over rate it because the subject was Duran or would I be too harsh and expect too much? All I know is when it hit the shelf, I had to have it. Although time is not a luxury for me these days I was going to make time to read this book. I'm glad I did.

Coming soon on DVD

Val Kilmer, Stephen Dorff and Director Waugh

By: Danny Serratelli
A groundbreaking new film that exposes the flaws of the countries penal system, the realities of prison life as well as groundbreaking fight scenes. In addition to a learning experience the film features fight scenes unlike anything ever done before on film. According to Dorff, who was a participant in many fight scenes in the film, the fights were not choreographed like they are in other films and often turned into practically real fights. Several mixed martial arts competitors were featured in the film including Mike Seal and Joey Villasenor as well as several fighters, who have trained at Georges St. Pierre’s gym in New Mexico.

(Synopsis) Wade Porter (Stephen Dorff) lives a modest but comfortable life with a young family, a fledgling business and a promising future ahead. But in an instant, his life, and that of everyone he loves is threatened and possibly gone forever when he’s convicted of killing a man while protecting his fiancée, Laura (Marisol Nichols) and their three year old son. In just 24 hours, the unimaginable conditions of a new world order begin to take hold. Violence is the answer to everything and, even for Laura, what it means to fight for your life - alone - becomes all too real.

MOVIE REVIEW : " POOR BOYS GAME "


By: Jim Amato
This 2008 boxing movie is what I call a " sleeper ". The cast is headed by veteran actor Danny Glover who plays George Carvery. George is a former trainer whose son is beaten up outside the ring and left permanently disabled. The young man accused of this crime is Donnie Rose ( played by Rossif Sutherland ). Rose served nine years in prison for the crime but upon being released he is challenged to a boxing match by prospect Ossie Paris ( played by Flex Alexander ) , a friend of the Carvery family. This is the perfect revenge setting George and his distraught wife but the plot takes some interesting twists and turns.
