To the contrary, I do not assume a poster must precisely match its content. That is too literal an interpretation of the role of a poster. But, I take offense -- in a tongue-and-cheek way, of course -- when the poster shows content that is entirely unrelated to the movie. To use your...

We have all experienced it. A movie that looks like it will be about billiards, based on the compelling poster. But, when we watch the film, we find out it has little or nothing to do with the sport. :angry: It's time to end the #NotABilliardsMovie deceit. Here's my list of the Top 15 worst...

Did anyone catch the 2014 Taiwanese movie Second Chance now on DVD? Eight professional women's billiards players in one movie. I just watched it. My review is here: http://www.billiardsmovies.com/billiards-movies-2/second-chance/ If you saw it, what did you think?

What are the best billiards commercials of all time? In January 2015, I tried to answer this question with my original Top 10 Billiards Commercial List. Realizing I had omitted too many good ones, this morning, I published Another Top 10 Billiards Commercial List. If you haven't seen all...

When's the last time you had sex on a pool table? Wait - don't answer that. Instead, take a look at my list of The Top 10 Bedroom Billiards Scenes from movies. It seems there's something about a stick, balls, flat baize surface, and 30" pool table height that provokes the cinematic...

I'm looking everywhere....does anyone have any leads on how to find three billiards short films -- Take a Cue (1939), Champion of the Cue (1945), or Nineball (2007)? My discussion of these three films is below...

How about Robert "Rags" Woods in the "Pool Hall Blues" episode of Quantum Leap or Lou Butera in the "Eight Ball" episode of The Fall Guy?

I meant a cameo by a professional billiards player.

Hey, I'm working on a blog post about the best cameos by professional billiards players in movies or television shows. Who are some of your favorites? Aside from the obvious ones (e.g., Keith McCready is "The Color of Money," Jimmy White in "Legend of the Dragon", Jennifer Barretta in...

Most of us love the "Werewolves of London" scene in The Color of Money. But what about songs that are specifically about billiards? Or music videos that focus on billiards? After listening to the lyrics to "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart, I put together my Top 10 Billiards Song (Lyrics) and...

2015 may go down as the Year of the Billiards Reality Show. Lots of shows in the works -- "Kings of Cue," "Ultimate Pool Sharks," "She Sharks" - maybe others. It would be great to finally get one of these off the ground. But, history isn't on their side. Here's my review: Billiards...

The link to the website (http://www.axiusent.com/#/!she-sharks/c1zc7) is no longer working. Is there a new website? I would love to interview someone about this series for my blog "8 Ball on the Silver Screen."

Given AZBilliards is among the organizations thanked in the closing credits of "The Road Scholars," I'm sure this group is quite familiar with the video interviews Diana Hoppe did with 11 legends of pool hustling at the 2008 Derby City Classic. Those individuals were: Ronnie Allen, “Buffalo...

Mr. Bond - thank you so much for sharing! I had never heard of this movie. James Woods and Alan Arkin? This is must-watch billiards cinema. I look forward to reviewing. Thank you again.

Over the years, there have been a handful of threads about the Ten-Twenty game show, created in 1959 by Frank Olvia and Joe Wilson. As part of my goal to review every billiards movie, tv show, short film, etc., I recently did a blog post on the show...

Pool halls and brawls...they go together like peanut butter and jelly, right? No? That's not what Hollywood would have us think. If there's a pool table in a movie, a fight is bound to follow. So, I present the Top 10 List of Billiards Brawls, along with a handful of honorable mentions. Enjoy...

When "The Strickland Story" first aired in late 2013, the documentary was discussed with great passion intensity...no surprise, given the subject matter. In no way am I familiar with Earl Strickland the way many of you are. But, as someone who has blogged, to date, about 80+ billiards movies...

It's been a long time since there was a good snooker film. (Some may argue there has never been a good snooker film.) Oliver Crocker seeks to change that with his forthcoming film "Extended Rest." Here's my interview with the director...
