Remembrance of Things Past: the new neighborhood, the old gang, girls, baseball, and a junkyard dog called "The Beast," chained up just beyond the left-field wall. It's supposed to have the glow of tall tales and local legend. Instead it has the lusterlessness of bad and even dishonest memory. (Writer-director David Mickey Evans, just the writer on the similar Radio Flyer, bids for recognition as an artist with a personal vocabulary, a motif, an obsession, by bringing in here a pair of P.F. Flyers to complement the titular wagon in his previous script.) It doesn't help that the movie cheats about the actual size of "The Beast" (substituting enlarged body parts for closeups) or that it believes a black man could ever have been a teammate of Babe Ruth. With Tom Guiry, Mike Vitar, Karen Allen, and James Earl Jones. (1993) — Duncan Shepherd
