Movie Reviews of Boston's Greatest Sports Stories, Beyond The Headlines
Movie Review: A must for New England sports fans
Summary: 5 Stars
The only downside of the DVD is that the producers didn't wait a few months before putting it together so they could have included the Patriots third and, arguably, most impressive Super Bowl title.
Still, it is a great trip down memory lane brought to you by individuals (Boston Globe reporters) who often had the perfect seats as the historical events unfolded.
Another plus is that the DVD does not focus solely on the Red Sox and everybody else. Basketball, football, hockey, golf, the marathon and other sports and events are all given their due. And, in doing so, those athletes involved are also given theirs (at least to the point time restraints would allow).
Another strength is the insight into the personalities of some of Boston's greatest sports figures. Perhaps the best example of this inclusion, and a good example of way the DVD works, is reporter Dan Shaughnessy's retelling of his free throw competition with the great Larry Bird. The comical and predictable outcome gives a glimpse of Bird's character that can not be captured in standard coverage. A great bit.
