• Arturo Gatti: Life/Career Montage – August 20th, 2011

  It's always a tragedy when a man's death casts a longer shadow than his life, especially when that man was a warrior like Arturo Gatti. The ultimate throwback fighter, a man whose kamikaze ethos defined his do-or-die persona, Gatti was the fighter's fighter, a street brawler in satin shorts who feared nothing and no one. There was nothing fancy about what he did in the ring. When he climbed through the ropes, you always knew Gatti was ready, willing, and able to engage in all-out war. Sometimes he won, and sometimes he lost, but when Gatti fought you knew you were going to see a gladiatorial contest of the first order, you were going to see A FIGHT...

• Don King: Only in America – February 19th, 2012

  When HBO first broadcast Don King: Only in America in 1997, Don King was not pleased. A serio-comic dramatization of the life of the wild-haired promoter based on the book of the same name by thorn-in-the-side Jack Newfield, the film starred Ving Rhames as King, Vondie Curtis-Hall as Lloyd Price, Darius McCrary as Muhammad Ali, Keith David as Herbert Muhammad, Bernie Mac as Bundini Brown, and Teddy Atlas as Richie Giachetti. Although the film somewhat blurs reality, much as King has blurred reality himself, it stays true to the facts, which are considerably stranger than fiction...
