**_A middle-aged Minor League player reflects on his

**_A middle-aged Minor League player reflects on his coming-of-age years_** Mark Harmon stars as the protagonist, Billy, who looks back to 1960 when he was 10 years-old in the Philadelphia area and his babysitter, Katie, who was 5½ years older than him, played by Jodie Foster. He also reminisces on the era of 1966-1968 when he came-of-age and the turning-point events thereof. William McNamara plays Billy at this stage in life. Comparable movies include “The Summer of ’42” and “Last Summer” (1969), as well as “The Outsiders” and bits of “Desert Bloom.” The future “Summer Catch” is another. If you like any of those flicks, this is pretty much on par in its unique way. There are several sequences that take place on the rural Jersey shore, and you can’t beat the locations. Anyone interested in a drama that occurs by the ocean beach should appreciate this. It runs 1h 38m and was shot in late summer 1987 in SoCal (San Bernardino), the Philadelphia area, and New Jersey (Island Beach State Park, Lanoka Harbor; Camden; Trenton; and Margate). GRADE: B+

Recently rewatched Stealing Home by sheer chance after

Recently rewatched Stealing Home by sheer chance after almost 15 yrs. I enjoyed it when I was young and enjoyed it even more as I'm older. It honestly angers me to see critics giving it 20%. . Movie has heart, baseball and a first love, I guess critics don't have a heart so they don't understand The movie. SEEMS CRITICS ONLY LIKE MOVIES IF SOMEONE'S DYING OF CANCER OR DEALING WITH LGBTQ, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Maybe the critics are all "Dinks" Yeah there's no Oscar performances, But it has friendship, a little sadness, and a man finding his way. Mark Harmon and Ramis have great chemistry - RIP Harold. The locations are beautiful. The soundtrack is fantastic!. How could you not like this?. Do yourself a favor, find it on YouTube and watch it. It'll take you back to when you're a kid.

I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen

I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen this movie. I was like 8-9 when it came out, so I can’t imagine I would have rewatched it a ton of times but it is one that has stayed with me for some reason. It has guided me through loss in some weird way and it has shaped the way I look at my own mortality. My wife and kids have instructions to cremate me and figure out what to do with me in 2 weeks or less. I told them if they can’t figure it out to watch this movie. My wife had never seen it so we sat down to watch it last night. I was afraid it would not be the way I remembered it. There was some goofy stuff that I hadn’t noticed as a kid, the kind of stuff that you probably couldn’t understand if you hadn’t lived life a little, but overall I still very much appreciated the journey. Even my wife liked it and she does not like movies like that. I fully expected her to be asleep halfway through.
