Title: Glory Road
Starring: Josh Lucas, Emily Deschanel, Derek Luke, etc.
Sypnosis: 40 years ago, Don Haskins went on the recruiting trail to find the best talent in the land, black or white. 7 blacks and 5 whites made up the legendary 1965-66 Texas Western Miners. They were mocked and ridiculed for their showboating and flaunting of black players on the court. Yet, in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, Haskins and his Miners came together as a team united to reach the National Championship game against powerhouse Kentucky. Thanks: IMDB.

The Review:

What can I say, I’m on a Josh kick and have no fear, Poseidon is coming later today! This movie basically was able to shed some light on the difficulties of introducing black players to the world of basketball back in the day. It painted a realistic picture and for that, it’s sad that people acted that way but then again it was triumphant how of course in the end, the team won the championship. It was a great movie but not the best. Some parts of the movie had me definitely wishing I had a pillow and blanket which proves it was boring since I love basketball and Josh Lucas. Josh did a good job but the movie could’ve been a lot better.
