  1. Review: A pleasant 'Cooperstown,' but questions stand out

  3. Baseball is diamond in the rough to black players at Gardena Serra

    On a sunny Tuesday afternoon on a cluttered street in Gardena, some very big and skilled athletes are hanging out on a concrete basketball court, bouncing around underneath rusted backboards and chain nets, acting out a typical inner-city scene, with one small exception.

  8. Allan Graf's latest sport? Stunts in movies

    It may seem surprising that Allan Graf &mdash; the baseball coordinator, stunt coordinator and second-unit director for Warner Bros.' Jackie Robinson biographical drama "42" &mdash; first made his name on the gridiron. But that's precisely why Graf was the perfect person for the job.

  10. Take a chance on Terrence Malick's 'To the Wonder'

    It feels as if we've hit a major movie slump. So much this year has disappointed. I wasn't entranced with Danny Boyle's crime thriller "Trance." "42," Brian Helgeland's new drama based on baseball great Jackie Robinson's historic defiance of racial stereotypes, didn't knock it out of the park despite its good intentions.
