Chasing Mavericks Review. Surprising Addition To The Fall Lineup

Chasing Mavericks Review  By: MattInRC  Chasing Mavericks is a feel-good film that's actually good. Make sure to Follow MattInRC on Twitter for all his reviews and tasteless jokes. Under the category of 'feel-good sports flick that don't suck,' we have the giants: Hoosiers (basketball), The Natural (baseball), The Sweater (hockey), and Rudy (football). But for every Rudy , we got T he Replacements ; for every Natural , we've endured Summer Catch . Does the biopic Chasing Mavericks finally add a surfing film into this hall of fame? The answer is...perhaps. Chasing Mavericks is a surprising addition to the fall lineup, sporting some amazing maverick waves and introducing us to the life of Jay Moriarity , whose tragic death in 2001 ended a brief but spectacular surfing career.

N.W.A Biopic To Be Made "Straight Outta Compton"

N.W.A Biopic To Be Made "Straight Outta Compton" Rap is finally getting the Ray treatment. New Line is developing Straight Outta Compton, an urban drama about N.W.A. (a.k.a. Niggaz With Attitude), the hip hop group that helped pioneer the gangsta rap movement in the ’80s and early ’90s. The project will chronicle the rise and fall of the rap quartet, founded by Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and MC Ren, whose songs were so incendiary (i.e. "F— tha Police") they were banned from radio playlists but still sold millions of albums. Then came the inevitable fiery breakup, a grudge match between the former bandmates, and Eazy-E’s tragic death due to AIDS. The film’s producers, which include Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Tomica Wright (Eazy-E’s widow), and Circle of Confusion entertainment, are now actively searching for a director along the lines of Curtis Hanson (8 Mile).
