Cinecast #16: Will Fight For Food

How do your stoic Cinecast hosts hold up against the inspiring tale of Depression-era boxing champ James Braddock, as told by master manipulator Ron Howard in "Cinderella Man"? We went the distance, but were KO'd in the final round. Howard shows atypical restraint and lets the powerful story speak for itself.

Also on the show, a review of "Lords of Dogtown," director Catherine Hardwicke's follow-up to her debut film "Thirteen." "Dogtown" takes an interesting real-life premise -- teenage skateboarding pioneers from the streets of Santa Monica find unexpected worldwide fame -- and turns it into an incompetent mess of countless montages. We recommend you avoid this fictional account and check out the 2001 documentary "Dogtown and Z-Boys" instead. Plus, we count down our Top 5 Inspirational Movies.
