Miracle (Widescreen Edition)

starring: Kurt Russell, Patricia Clarkson, Noah Emmerich, Sean McCann, Kenneth Welsh
directed by: Gavin O'Connor

Release Date May 18, 2004
There a lot of great reviews out there for what is one of our top favorite flicks, but I don't seem to see what I thought was a great part of the production. I recently bought the video of the original game...which I can remember seeing like it was yesterday. We were shocked to find that the sound track from the original broadcast was used 100% in the movie, not an easy trick because the action then had to match what the announcers had said. This makes for a surprisingly real reproduction. And the Russian coach in the movie is dead ringer for the real guy who has to be seen to be appreciated.

Space Jam

starring: Michael Jordan, Wayne Knight, Billy West (II), Dee Bradley Baker, Theresa Randle
directed by: Joe Pytka

Release Date July 25, 2000
Space Jam as a movie has always held a special place in my heart. Being 12 years old as of this review, I have to say this movie has aged really well. Starring a real comic legend in Bill Murray and an acting great, Danny DeVito doing a voice over; this movie was destined to succeed. The real surprise for everyone was the performance of Michael Jordan. Although not exactly Sidney Poitier he did his job of being the face of this movie and when you make a movie with basketball as the main focus, you couldn't not have Michael Jordan.

The story goes that aliens from a theme park world named Moron Mountain, need a new attraction. Whilst throwing around ideas the evil boss, Mr. Swackhammer decides that he must get the Looney Tunes. He sends his ... Read More:

Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The Hellcats

starring: Bro Beck, Anthony Cardoza, Noble 'Kid' Chissel, Frederic Downs, Dee Duffy
directed by: Robert F. Slatzer

Release Date June 11, 2002
Oh Lord, where to start, with this epic?? Joel and the Bots, send this back to Hell, where it came!! This could have been used to show just how NOT to direct a film, without the always stimulating commentary. Slatzer the director, probably didn't know from day to day, whether the funding would run out, to finish this stinker. The acting was wonderfully inept, the sound poor, and the director could have been referred to, as " One-Shot Slatzer!!" All for the funnier, Folks.....All for the funnier!!!

Shades of Darkness - Six Mysterious Tales of the Paranormal

starring: Kate Harper, Michael Shannon, Penelope Lee, John Grillo, Meg Ritchie
directed by: Simon Langton, John Glenister, Peter Hammond

Release Date December 05, 2006
I bought this DVD because I was scrambling for any British production to watch on television. British productions always have excellent writing and production values. And then I found "Shades of Darkness' I love ghost stories, especially British ghost stories and this DVD set certainly delivers. The stories deal with the human soul and its complexities and the price one has to pay if you betray it. Great casting as well. The British have a way of putting the spectator right in the middle of the drama as though you are there as well. I reccommend this DVD to anyone who appreciates great story telling.

Britney Spears - In the Zone (DVD with Bonus CD)

starring: Eric West (II), Britney Spears, Felicia Culotta, Madonna
directed by: Nick Wickham

Release Date April 06, 2004
This Dvd really is neat. It has alot of features and a special bonus disc! But due to the release of her new dvd "Greatest hits: My Prerogative" this dvd is not much too buy. It only has 2 videos. But the Live performance is awesome, plus you get to see an interview with brit! This is a neat Dvd but if your looking for videos go with "Greatest hits: My Prerogative"

Luck of the Draw

starring: James Marshall, Dennis Hopper, Michael Madsen, Eric Roberts, Ice-T
directed by: Luca Bercovici

Release Date September 18, 2001
Such a waste; what potential this strong cast had. I dunno if it was direction or acting that went sour. And there were more holes in this story than Swiss cheese...SPOILER (below):

it's said that if someone knows just one person, that link would make a mutual connection to the entire world--wellll, they sure stretch that coincidence hard to unbelievable lengths in this movie.

The accountant AND banker work for the same two mobs? who don't know that until the end? The accountant's daughter's got the hots for 'our hero'? who doesn't know ANY of these guys?

Here's three big holes to ponder, just off the top of my head

1) the 'Guineas' come in, acknowledge the cop guarding the hospital patient and in the patient's presence with ... Read More:

Serial Killing 101

starring: Michael Alaimo, Elise Ballard, Eric C. Charmelo, Thomas Haden Church, Katherine D'Armond

Release Date March 30, 2004
Lisa Loeb was 34 years old when she made this movie, playing a mousy 17 year old. Justin Urich plays a morose lad whose ambition in life is to be a serial killer, and Loeb wants to be his first victim. It's all slowly paced, poorly written and Loeb is simply awful. Urich does a little better but the whole plot is so ridiculous one doesn't really care. And what a shame to see future Oscar nominee Thomas Haden Church in a disastrously bad performance, so Rod Steigerish in its delivery that he definitely should've gotten a Razzy that year.
Ho hum, what a drag.
