I just watched the documentary:
Red Army (2014)
A very good watch.
If you are old enough and you know enough/experienced the Cold War, the whole communist USSR vs United States heated time period, and are especially educated on the "Miracle On Ice" in 1980, this is a great film that gives you the other side of things from the top USSR team members.
If you are young and don't know anything about the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team and didn't really experience the cold war, then I would suggest watching a documentary on that first. You'll get a feel for the tensions in that time period and why beating the Soviet Union was such an important victory and kind of a turning point.
Then watch Red Army.
If you don't know how things really played out on the Red Army team players post-1980, then you may be surprised at certain events but probably won't be at others.
I couldn't help but at certain times during the film think to myself "so how about that socialism?"; then by the end you see some of the players quite likely thinking the same thing...but most of them wouldn't dare say it in public.
If you cant find another place to watch it, it is available on a heavily seeded torrent.
Not to diminish this film or anything related to "The Miracle on Ice"
but what precedes that amazing event was the 1972 Summit Series and a film called " Cold War on Ice Summit Series '72 HD.
Before professionals were allowed to compete in the Olympics or World Championships
the Russians ran up an impressive record of victories, more than any country.
To settle the who's best in hockey debate, an eight game series between Russia and Canada's best was engineered.
We thought it would be a cake walk. We were wrong.
What followed was the most amazing sports event I've seen.
I edited the above movie to show 3 or 4 of the most incredible moments
which occurred during that series. It's jaw dropping if you're a hockey fan
or of live TV
Currently watching:
Zero Days
(Also available on HULU)
Im about half way through. Very good watch so far. If you're into computers, computer science, espionage etc you will probably appreciate this film.
Its basically about Stuxnet and the plot to sabotage Iran's nuclear facilities. You might remember hearing about this somewhere in the past few years; i know 60 Minutes had a segment on Stuxnet several years ago- that's when I first heard about it.
2 hour film and so far it's worth it.
The Case Against Adnan Syed
It is a fairly interesting 4 part series on a murder.
This is probably the best one I've seen

this one is awesome too
This was it. Growing up in Saskatchewan, an ice field for more months than not, hockey was god.
The rough stuff you see in this doc is no exaggeration. There were no mouth guards.
Trying out for the next level of hockey supremacy meant facing off with the thugs of the team
you were trying out for. To make the team you had to survive a crosscheck against the boards
from one of the biggest players. I did not make it.
Fighting was simply accepted. You did not play if you would not drop the gloves
I have knocked a couple of guys out but I have received as many or more
can't wait for the rest of the Vice docs ^^^^^
Here's a really fun watch, 3.99 on the youtube and prob other platforms as well. Billy Corben covers the Biogenesis scandal, with ARod, MLB, and a bunch of half-baked characters.
Insta-watched on Crowe’s recommendation. Amazon Prime. $5
Just look at Rotten Tomatoes. Immaculate, 100% entertainment
This is the sort of fraud and hilarity old time PFA members have been missing from their lives.
The State of Florida, MLB, The Feds, the Players, Univeristy of Florida, parents, children .... no one looks good.
10/10
Informative, hysterical, well told, characters galore.
As a Boston guy, ARod was a scumbag and really really strange dude in my mind.
Then there was Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN. Boston’s own Nazi lover and right wing nut job Curt Schilling gets shit-canned. Jessica Mendoza and Alex Rodriguez show up in the booth. I’m expecting my blood pressure may prevent me from watching with the volume up. To my surprise ARod was pretty good in the booth.
ARod got a pass from me. Jennifer Lopez has such a nice ring. Lovely couple.
This documentary while hugely entertaining also served to remind me what a gangster and fraud ARod was/is. God, he is a smooth sociopath.
Well played ARod
Crowe,
Commissioner Rob Manfred at the Sawks Opener and Ring Ceremony
Manfred was in the booth followed by Manny Ramirez. That documentary changes my perception of events even the next day.
What I’d give to watch as they passed each other in the hall
