One Of Our Fave Baseball Sagas! April 15, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My Hubby & I are avid MLB fans, especially the Bosox, White Sox/DBacks/Cards/Reds...Well, you get the idea! Anyway: When we 1st saw it on HBO, we were joyful/angry/laughing & crying. Denis Leary is a hoot!
Those die hard Red Sox fans waited so long & they deserve that! Our White Sox got their W.S., the Cards got theirs in '06 & the Dbacks in 2001.
We're waiting for HBO to release the (sorry) Cub Bums Documentary "Wait Till Next Year". We live near Chi. but love the South Siders. We're so tired of those "traditionalists" who have suffered. We'll see what they can do in 007. We won't hold our breath!
Win This For... March 18, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I watched this HBO special before 2004 when it was called Curse of the Bambino. The new version has to be seen from the beginning to experience again the total joy of 2004. There are some early moments almost too painful to see again: Yaz' knees buckling as he sees Dent's wind driven pop up get over the wall, Shiraldi's deer in the headlights expression on the mound during the 86 Series, Spaceman's release of the slow curve to Perez in 75.
But this is all redeemed by the most improbable events in sports history. This DVD makes you feel again how unlikely the Sox comeback was. As one person says, if it was a movie nobody would believe it.
There is one perfect segment in the film where each of the people interviewed chokes up when talking about the Sox victory and is momentarily unable to continue. Dennis Leary, Steven Wright and regular fans are all effected the same way. 2004 was an emotionally overwhelming experience and this DVD brings it back again.
The last segment with Sox fans celebrating the win with departed relatives at gravesites captures the true depth of Red Sox Nation feeling but can be difficult to watch.
This is a great DVD to view with your kids. Mine slowly gravitated to the screen as I watched and were riveted. By the end, I think they understood their "crazy Red Sox fan father" a little better.
A Must Own for Any Red Sox Fan! January 12, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great recap of that magical 2004 Red Sox season. The reflections of the fans in the video allows the viewer to relive the agony, and the ecstasy of Red Sox baseball over the last century. I was especially moved by the strong emotions that people still had as they recalled the moment the Red Sox won the Series. Even now, I get goosebumps. For all loyal Red Sox fans out there, buy this video! You will not be disappointed. Red Sox. Forever.
Reverse the Curse of the Bambino January 12, 2007
You must be a baseball fan and especially a Boston Red Sox fan. This DVD is so funny and true. My whole family loved it except for one Yankee fan and he has his own curses to deal with. Loved it.
 Very good! January 3, 2007
We have enjoyed this DVD over and over again. It is, in our opinion, much more interesting and better edited than the "Faith Rewarded" Red Sox DVD (which has a really annoying voice-over). According my husband , who is a long-time follower of the Red Sox, Reverse the Curse really taps into the heart of what it means to be a (long-tortured!) Red Sox fan.
