Hey folks, Harry here... Today is Muhammad Ali's 65th Birthday. We don't celebrate many birthdays here on AICN. Sadly - we tend to write too many obituaries. However, today - I was awoken by my fiancee bringing me my cel phone - "Return your father's call!," she was saying. It was a ruse, she wanted me to return the call, so I would wake up and cook her nachos. I love her, so I'll do it, but mainly - I was going to relish her attempting to wake me.
I call dad, "Harry, it's Muhammad Ali's 65th birthday - they're playing all his great fights on ESPN Classics. They're about to show Clay vs Liston #1 - you ought to check it out!"

Michael Mann's ALI failed on a great many levels to impress me, to hold my attention or to involve me with any sense of consistency at all.
I'll start with the chief problem I have with the movie. I don't need to see Ali at the press conferences

Ahoy there, squirts. 'Tis I, the pleasing to the eye yet repugnant to the nose crusty ol' seaman, Quint, here to share my opinions and thoughts on Michael Mann's newest drama, ALI. I've never been really big into sports, but the one sport that

Hey folks, Harry here. Seems like a lot of people just are not enjoying ALI. I keep hearing that the film is just a paper thin portrait of the man with really strong performances, but a severe lack of material. I'm supposed to see this this week,

Hey folks, Harry here. InkyMae has an interesting conspiracy theory about why he feels ALI sucks and why all the word has been positive, however he could be missing the obvious... People have different opinions. Tis true. People are allowed to t

Hey folks, Harry here and here's the latest look at Michael Mann's ALI!!! I've heard a lot of great word on the film, but the consistent nagging complaint I hear is that they didn't get to the heart of who ALI is... What makes him tick, that this fi

Hey folks, Harry here with a ton of images for Sony's ALI, which is headed to our theaters this Christmas, and depending on how spectacular or lame Will Smith is as Ali, that will partially govern my enthusiasm for a possible I AM LEGEND project for

Hey folks, Harry here with our second look at ALI. I have long been a believer that we needed an additional 25 years before this movie needed to be made. To get distance on the events surrounding ALI. Right now, nearly everything that Ali did was

Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
First thing I've seen on this film so far. I believe this may well have been the very first screening. I know that MAJESTIC played somewhere on Monday or Tuesday, and now ALI has

Hey folks, Harry here... I have to give kudos in Will Smith's direction... the dedication and will power he has used to transform his entire body type in order to play Ali... well it's amazing. To lose or gain weight... that's tough enough, but to
