		<description><![CDATA[Poop happens. In &#8220;Legendary,&#8221; an Oklahoma-set bullying/high-school wrestling tale, produced by wrestling conglomerate WWE Entertainment, veteran television director Mel Damski works the uplift. An opening voiceover by Danny Glover about Sooner exceptionalism accents his sibilant sonorousness, and the overemphasis sets the tone for the rest of the movie: It&#8217;s Karo syrup coming at you in [...]]]></description>

Mike Diedrich directs and shoots a lustrous answer by portraying grown men with baseball gloves who gather on the streets outside Wrigley Field during Cubs games. He makes his [...]]]></description>

The filmmakers say the lineage of inspiration for their film includes &#8220;Vision Quest,&#8221; &#8220;Friday Night Lights,&#8221; &#8220;Hoop Dreams&#8221; and &#8220;Spellbound.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Dipping into a few months in the life of small-town Sidney, Ohio in Fall, &#8220;45365&#8243; is a luscious, impressionistic essay film, a dream-like patch of cinema vérité (without narration) that&#8217;s more trance than nonfiction lockstep. The film&#8217;s gentle intimacy and easy access to the town&#8217;s citizens and routines may spring from the fact that [...]]]></description>
