Features James Earl Jones, Billy Dee Williams and Richard Pryor. Tired of today's baseball strikes, artificial turf, domed stadiums and millionaire players? Take a trip back to simpler times, when a black baseball team, the Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings, blended comedy skits and baseball skills during the days of "color barriers" in the major leagues. Bingo (Billy Dee Williams), Leon (James Earl Jones) and Charlie (Richard Pryor), star players in the Negro National League, break away from their tyrannical black bosses and form their own razzle-dazzle team. Barnstorming across the Depression-era Midwest, the All-Stars take on local teams of all sizes and colors, conte Director John Badham's appealing comedy focuse on a group of black baseball players who defect from the 1930s Negro National League. As result, the talented ballplayers travel from town to town, challenging local white teams, and hiding their talents under comic shenanigans. The film provides an intriguing balance of social issues and comedy, with the leads based on authentic heroes Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson.
Richard Pryor, Billy Dee Williams, and James Earl Jones star in this appealing comedy about a group of black baseball players who defect from the 1930s Negro National League. The leads are based on authentic heroes Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson. The year is 1939, and Negro League baseball players Bingo Long (Williams) and Leon Carter (Jones) have had enough of the black team owners' harsh treatment. So they decide to leave their team and form one of their own. Bingo and Leon's team is a hit--that is, until the other owners pressure them into leaving the league.The All-Stars then travel rural America, playing against white teams, for white crowds. But, even though they are just as talented as their opponents (or more so), the black players must resort to comedic antics and tomfoolery on the field, in order to be accepted by audiences. Hilarious physical comedy and fine performances provide a thought-provoking balance of social issues and comedy. Brooks Clift is the older brother of the actor Montgomery Clift.
This is the only Sam Briston video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Jophery Brown, Rico Dawson, Leon Wagner.

GARDEN STATE: Andrew "Large" Largeman (Zach Braff of TV's SCRUBS) is returning home to New Jersey for the first time in nine years to attend his mother's funeral. A struggling actor in Los Angeles, he's been living under clouds of medication prescribed by his psychiatrist father (Ian Holm). After drifting through the funeral with the same emotional numbness he's felt for years, he reconnects with old friends Mark (Peter Sarsgaard), a gravedigger, and Albert (Denis O'Hare), a millionaire who invented noiseless Velcro. In a doctor's office, he meets ebullient Sam (Natalie Portman), an epileptic whose lust for life inspires Andrew to feel things that his medication long denied him. Over the course of four days, he develops feelings for Sam he didn't know he was capable of, and faces up to the resentment his father holds toward him about an accident that happened long ago.
Writer, director, and star Zach Braff makes his debut feature with this off-kilter, unusually smart, self-assured coming-of-age film. GARDEN STATE has a knack for sharp-edged humor, character quirks, and finding lovely imagery within the mundanity of the suburbs. These things combined are abundant evidence to indicate that Braff's filmmaking future is filled with limitless promise.
