The Church of Baseball
By Jeffrey M. Anderson
Ron Shelton's Bull Durham (1988), a witty tale about the minor leagues, might have been the greatest baseball movie ever made if not for the sluggish centerpiece performance by Kevin Costner. His bland, badly timed line readings just kill Shelton's otherwise sparkling dialogue. On the other hand, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins shine in their roles as a sexy baseball muse and a hotshot young pitcher. (They fell in love on this film and became an item.) MGM has released a simple DVD edition different from the 2002 "Special Edition." It lacks the photo galleries, featurettes and other bonuses, but still contains commentary tracks by Shelton, Costner and Robbins.
