] | I'm still chuckling at a couple of the scenes.......the movie is somewhat dated but still as funny as ever, with Henry, Michael and Shelley playing the main roles. The plot has been covered but I will address one of the themes, that I always enjoy folks trying to do something to make money with idle time, even at the morgue. Besides making a few bucks and staying awake on the graveyard shift, the boredom was certainly taken away with the phone calls and out-service dates. A good movie for a lazy evening - bring on the popcorn and be prepared to have a belly laugh. I believe that the second showing ten years later was still hilarious. | 4 | MEMORABLE COMEDY | 1,300,665,600 | 03 21, 2011 |

Junior is trying to live up to his father's repuation as a great champion, and in the end, he's able to ride the roughest, toughest bull in the circuit. His father is a dreamer, and has always wanted to go to Australia to strike it rich, and of course making for a good plot, Junior uses his winnings to send his father on the trip; and Junior heads out for the next rodeo. There are some great shots of real rodeo events and the movie comes off as authentic and totally interesting. The relationship with his mother is emotional and Junior's love interest makes the viewer wonder why he would drive off and eat dust and smell horse droppings, when he could be with this beautiful woman, who is pleasant as well as gorgeous.

He has the facts of history, the insight into how it affected the island people, all combined with personal stories and the local culture and legends. I've lived in Micronesia for about twelve years and learned so much new about the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Lots of good chuckles, sometimes over done in weird efforts at hilarity, but Oliver Pratt and Stanley Tucci do a good job at slapstick - almost like playing Hope and Crosby, in their "Road" pictures.

It will make you play closer attention to what happens in our courtrooms and prisons. On May 6, 1993, three 8-year-old boys bodies are found murdered and mutilated. There is panic in the little town of West Memphis, Arkansas, and the citizenry is wanting/demanding quick results and arrests of the culprits. The search centers on three teenagers, Jason, Damien, and Jesse, who wear "dark clothing" and listen to hard rock music. The follow-up investigations lead to questions about the blood work and the lab results, and there is 'a coerced confession' from Jesse in question, a borderline retarded boy. Over the years, many questions have arisen, and the case needs to be re-examined by seasoned, objective detectives. I suggest that everyone watch this movie, or others like it, so we never stop scrutinizing our criminal justice system. Watch this one, or read the book, and you too will find yourselves working as amateur investigators and forming a definite opinion about the innocence of the accused...or not. | 4 | SATANIC PANIC | 1,302,480,000 | 04 11, 2011 |

It can be summarized as the human condition anywhere, anytime. Bill pulls off the old washed-up actor to a Tee, and of course, his life and wife of 25 years has gone into neutral. Bill's expressions on the movie set and in the hotel bar, are worth watching; and the young lady is so beautiful and intense beyond words.

His 1939 discussion and tribute to the West was enjoyable and definitely educational. The plot takes place in the Great Land Rush on the Cherokee Strip, and has the lady/love interest; but there's plenty of roadblocks to overcome that makes for a great story.

It has great historical value in that most young people never knew how Monday Night Football got started and who some of the major players were, like Gifford, Cosell, Meredith.

This one actually had Eastwood human like the rest of us with flaws, on one scene he freezes up and in another gets his backside trounced in a fistfight.

Kurt Russell was perfect for the coach's role, and the rest of players were just what the film needed to make it real, including the hockey player actors.

The battle scenes are well done and photographed magnificently; but some of the situations with the older brother running through machine guns and exposions are tough to believe but then again, some soldiers are lucky and/or have "the grace of God" in their corner. No soldier would go into battle if he knew a bullet had his name on the tip. Much of this movie also concerns the confusion and violence that struck the civilians as the armies went back and forth. One of the ultimate drama and trauma scenes (near the end of the film) seems to be directed towards Jin-tae and his fiancee when she is killed, along with many others, by an anti-communist brigade (she went to the communist rallies so she could have food for the family). Jin-tae believes the younger brother has been killed; he goes a little wacko and goes over to the "bad guys." The opening and closing is well done through memories of the younger brother, Jin-seok, as he grew older, and the War Restoration Team finds the remains of the older brother. Not kowing Korean, the subtitles in English were much appreciated. This is a 'must-see' film from the beginning to the end - there are not many happy scenes, so be prepared for the gore and ugliness of war. | 5 | POWERFUL AND MOVING | 1,328,659,200 | 02 8, 2012 |

My friend luckily found this well-preserved tome in a Toronto garage sale, in a box stuck way back in the corner of the building. When Captain Eddie Rickenbacher's plane with his fellow crew members went down on October 22, 1942, thousands of Americans read the daily newspapers and listened to the radios, and tried not to give up hope. Thru patience and a belief in the Almighty, they all made it back except for one sergeant. They were hungry and dhydrated at sea, but after three weeks, washed ashore to a small island, and were saved by local islanders and fellow military personnel. The men prayed often, found strength and made it back alive. | 5 | CLASSIC SURVIVAL | 1,295,913,600 | 01 25, 2011 |

Kinsey shone a light on the so-called forbidden topic and made everyone realize that we're not all the same, and there are great variables in human sexuality. Wife Clara should also get a lot recognition for her total support, and for caring and watching over their family and his projects. Laura Linney was outstanding in this role, as was Liam Neeson playing Kinsey, a superb actor.

The movie was made for TV so there are no outrageous sexy scenes, has kind of a stilted dialogue, but the cast makes up for any shortcomings. I enjoyed it but would not watch it again, or even recommend it. It's a sad story about a sad, depressed woman.

Her observations and evaluations result in an award-winning documentary. To me, it smacks of the old colonial days wherein the "whites" go in and try to save the "browns" from themselves, and the vicious cyle of poverty and the caste system. She doesn't discuss the "men" that frequent the red-light district. Prositution cannot exist without a customer base. Her intentions are probably good and very Western, but in the end only one-to-two of the children remain in school. I was happy to hear that the children were HIV-free. The children are eventually called home by their parents to do the menial chores in the brothel neighborhood, and maybe not break their cultural standing and not try to climb above their meager circumstances. Some of the translations of the local language to English seems harsh with vulgaries, and the sub-titles were lacking. I would suggest that you watch the movie but be prepared for some slanted views - I always imagine that if an Asian photographer/journalist would go to downtown Detroit and do a documentary about the terrible lives that Americans lead, by shooting only the nasty, ugly scenes and downtrodden people, and writing the dialogue as they saw fit.

My friend and I recently toured the beautiful temples and impressive history, but also part of our trip was to visit the so-called "killing fields" where Cambodians killed 1.7 million of their own people in a terror campaign of torture and murder. The murderers left thousands of documents and photos clearly illustrating how the murders were done and who was murdered. It was brutal; the guards killing the prisoners with clubs and knives, and starving many thousands to death or letting them die with disease. The secret prison was only one example of how people were taken out in long lines and transported to a large pit, murdered and then thrown down into the hole to rot. The prison kept methodical records of who was murdered and how trumped-up charges were listed such as treason against the regime - all false with confessions gained through continuous torture. The lists included groups of children that would be killed one night (sometimes smashed against a tree or wall), then the next night the mothers, with hundreds dying at a time. The former guards and executioners were recently interviewed after gaining immunity. They were just teenagers at the time, and were told if they didn't do their jobs, that they would be on the next list to be executed. It was a very sad time for humanity, every bit as frightening and deadly as the extermination of the Jews in Europe, the tribal killings in Rwanda, or the masssive killings by Stalin in Russia.

The book's hard to find but worth the effort. Slap leather and enjoy the tale! | 4 | WILD AND WOOLLY BODIE | 1,237,507,200 | 03 20, 2009 |

The other characters in the movie are great and colorful and fun to watch. I found the movie entertaining and hilarous to enjoy since I have a dog and cat that live together and go about similar antics every day.

I believe some of the actors could have improved if they had the right script, good direction and some dynamite dialogue. Even my daughters who like the beauty shop almost as much as church and school, got bored. I suggest that you put this one the backburner and save it for those nights that the video rental store is clean-out of other movies. | 3 | OK, BUT NOT THE BEST | 1,303,603,200 | 04 24, 2011 |

] | Based on the life of salsa performer Hector Lavoe (died from AIDS and drug usage). As soon as you see the players using dope, you know what the outcome will be - beginning/struggling, success, dope, downfall and screw your family and friends. The theme was very trite and expected, but the salsa music was excellente. It was weird for my wife and I watching the movie, then twenty minutes later on the news, we hear that Lopez and Anthony are breaking up, but typically still respect one another - please us our privacy, etc. It was also strange seeing Lopez smoking grass and snorting occaine, along with Anthony. It was a movie true, but so contrary to Lopez's public persona. Would I watch it again? - not even in another twenty years. Lopez is talented and would enjoy seeing her again, and without Anthony and the portrayed drug usage. | 3 | THE SINGER | 1,310,860,800 | 07 17, 2011 |

I'm a very liberal reviewer and almost always give the draw to the hard-working folks that do their very best...usually. Even with all the twists and turns in this treatment, and some stellar acting, I found the whole thing boring and the dialogue trite.

As a result of being fluent in Japanese, he was able to talk hundreds of Japanese deeply entrenched in caves into surrendering (estimates vary from 800-1100), not only saving their lives, and the American soldiers that would have to fight them, but also countless local islanders who were caught in the middle of the raging battles. He was awarded the Navy Cross but rightfully should have received the Medal of Honor. He was finally evacuated to Hawaii after being wounded. He recently died but his memory of service lives on.

Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni, owner of Speedy Motors, is great as he goes about shyly trying to impress and court Precious, while trying to run his shop and direct his two unruly apprentices. However, Precious is reluctant to enter into another romance after her ill-fated former marriage to Note, a trumphet player. The photography is high standard and it makes the observer want to travel to beautiful Kgale hill in Botswana. It's unfortunate that the TV series didn't return for a second season.

It's an offbeat love story with lots of crazy football antics, muddy fields, and general zaniness. George is his usual handsome self with a real sense of comedy. The movie had the drunk reporter, a false war hero, and a big old country boy who played the line. Renee was wonderful as the love interest.

After viewing, I had many mixed feelings about the movie, and decided it wasn't right to show at Christmas with the little relatives, but okay later in the evening after a few toddies. The reviews ran the scale on this one - I suppose you either liked it or you didn't. The relationship between Vince and Reese seemed artifical and wouldn't stand the time into old age. This flick will not go down as one of the Christmas classics but it was a lot of fun and laughs anyway. Robert Duvall and Jon Voight helped save the day. The scenes with Vince wrestling his brothers, and trying to communicate with his Dad (Duvall) were hilarious.

The scenery was good, surfing wonderful, and the eye candy was pleasant to no end....but the story line and dialogue were terrible. However, I did like Willie Nelson playing spaced-out himself in the hills with marijuana and goats.

In the series that I bought, Joe Friday's partner was Ben Alexander known as Officer Frank Smith, and Frank was right there playing second fiddle and feeding the lines to the boss. Their hats and thin ties were right on, and so was Joe's clipped discussions.

It is written in a very formal textbook, academic style, and should be used primarily for reference. Do no expect exciting stories with heroes and villains; but it is wonderful book for looking historically at the development of weapons and does cover some battles like the Norman Conquest and the Crusades.. The book is most noteworthy for its coverage of the medieval world, especially the French and English. Much of their information came from studies of sculphures, engravings, and paintings, because much of the authentic armor has been destroyed, lost or just rotted/rusted away. Author Boutell is noted for his research and writings about heraldry, while Lacombe is significiant in that his writings emphasized the ordinary soldier. | 4 | TEXTBOOK STYLE | 1,272,326,400 | 04 27, 2010 |

It surfaced in about 1999, and of course, there have been many changes along the route, e.g., bandits and cartel dope dealers, immigration coyotes, huge illegal plantations of questionable crops, etc. So to do this again, you might need a bodyguard or two. The remote villages don't change much but the metro areas are immense and uncertain. The photographs are award-winning and relate very well to the people along the route and their traditions and customs. I've alway wanted to go from from Alaska to the tip of Chile on the coastal trails, but time, money and circumstances have held me back...but at least I can take an armchair journey, thanks to Joseph Yogerst and his partners Susie Post and Melissa Farlow. | 4 | QUITE A JOURNEY | 1,343,433,600 | 07 28, 2012 |

There is an explanation of the forced march over the Chilkoot Pass with the listings of the items that the miners (Argonauts) going to the Klondike gold fields had to carry. Many men gave up before they got to the fields, and many like Jack London got seriously ill and had to leave back to San Francisco. This book will return you to the rough-and-ready times with some old photos, and of course, great new images by Philippe. With most of the men, it was an all-out effort to get rich overnight...and definitely not all did.

It is just as funny seeing it several times, and each viewing, you pick up another chuckle or two. Can you imagine waking up with a baby and a tiger in your room, and you're missing the groom for the upcoming nuptials, and one of the boys is missing a tooth (the dentist)? It will never be a classic of alltime comedy, but will likely continue to be a moneymaker and a source of tons of laughs. All the actors are great, even with guest appearances from Mike Tyson and his hoods (he owns the tiger), and the boys return the baby to a stripper and escort lady. Hangover 3 is in production and this time includes Tijuana, Mexico - and one can just imagine what the lads will find in crazy, violent Mexico.

My French-speaking friends tell me that the English sub-titles were accurate and in time with the vocals. The acting was superb, and the interaction between the 'mama and papa' was tender and beautiful. Christmas brings them together but don't expect sweetness and nostalgia, or comedy, but you will find emotional scenes between siblings, and of course, love scenes between two brothers and one wife. But it does end on a happy note in that the matriarch's cancer is likely under control, and some strained family relationships find a degree of harmony. | 4 | CANCER MAKER | 1,354,060,800 | 11 28, 2012 |
