Apple Arcade - Charrua Soccer (2020) [/] 11 on 11 soccer with penalties (fouls, yellow and red cards), penalty kicks, substituting players, setting the formation (lots of choices) and changing posture (offense, neutral, defense). Friendly matches, tournaments (vs computers I think), party tournaments (vs local players), career mode with experience points. Unlike Sociable Soccer I found this had better UI and funner game play.
Movie - The Perfect Game (2009) [/] César Faz (Clifton Collins Jr), who never cracked the big leagues, ends up in Mexico where he is convinced to teach the local kids baseball and the kids make a surprising showing all the way to the Little League World Series in the USA. Based on a true story. A bit more focus on the casual racism of mid 1950's USA.
Documentary - The Fighting I: The Story of the USS Intrepid (1995) [/] History channel 45-minute documentary on the USS Intrepid (CV-11) which fought in WWII and Vietnam, was present during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and recovered Gemini and Apollo capsules. Has interview clips with servicemen who were stationed on the carrier in WW2 and later (including interview clips with John McCain).
