Balls of Fury

It was only a matter of time before another obscure sport was made to be the center of attention by the studios in Hollywood. Ping pong is that sport and Balls of Fury is that movie.

The saving grace for this particular movie, which follows the wildly successful Dodgeball and the flop Blackball, stars Christopher Walken as the villain. George Lopez has a supporting role to the main character Dan Fogler, a relative newcomer but he’s got a role in Horton Hears a Who so he must be doing something right.

Check out the trailer in HD on the Apple website.

    Haha. I think it looks great. As the Chinese would say “Ping-Pong.”
