Mona Lisa (1986)

Based on a true story, this sports movie is centered around a college football player.

Remakes. Reboots. Reinventions. Redundancy. It's the common practice in Hollywood of late, sometimes offering us victorious reimagining of what can be considered cinematic classics while also, more often, falling flat on their UN-imaginative faces in utter defeat and lackluster results. Admittedly, with this in mind, I went into the newest incarnation of "The War of the Roses" with typical trepidation and cautious optimism.

Acutely funny and always well-intentioned, Last Week Tonight has a lot of heart for a satirical-news program.
