I am breaking my long streak of not posting to suggest that you watch “Sugar.” It’s an HBO film that is surprisingly good… I have a weird hangup about this film, in that I don’t know if you need to be in the bizarre emotional state I’m in (four surgeries in, rehab still failing, wondering whether I’ll ever get to play baseball again) to appreciate it. It’s one of those things where I feel like I saw it at precisely the right time in order for it to have the emotional impact that it did. That said, I still feel like it’s a decent flick that stands up on its own, even if you’re not an aging never-was who tends to get all weepy for any movie that examines the relationship a player has with the game when he knows he’s on his way out of it.
Check it out. It’s not Citizen Kane, but it’s not bad.
