Blaze Of Glory

Mania
It’s the yin to Fast Break’s yang: an informative, well-structured, linear retelling of the Blazers’ first years. Director Dan Schaeffer weaves together recent interviews from seemingly everyone who was there and gets an impressively coherent story that I expect will keep most Portlanders glued to their seats. The sweetness of the era, as evoked by Fast Break, is not corrupted by Mania. It’s a different kind of strange, seeing former world-class athletes that now look a lot like my dad. TONY PIFF. 6:30pm Tuesday, Nov. 11.
