Final Destination 3, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: Final Destination 3
Movie Count: 56
TV Ep Count: 17
Time Started: 11:30am
Plot:
Strap yourself in for 'Final Destination 3.' The most terrifying thrill ride ever! After Wendy and her friends survive a deadly roller coaster ride, they start being killed in even more gruesome ways. Wendy realizes the nightmare isn't over.... Death has returned to finish the job. But can she convince the rest of her friends before it's too late?

My Thoughts:
I had to go ahead and finish up the trilogy didn't I? This is only the second time I ever watched this movie. In this one the death scenes are much more graphic.... and like the first 2 has some very creative kills as well. This has been a very strong trilogy... I have enjoyed all 3 movies very much... so much so that I would love to see a 4th movie made. Once again this DVD has plenty of extras to enjoy.

British & Irish Lions 2009: Living With the Pride, a review by Rich

Title: British & Irish Lions 2009: Living With the Pride

Runtime:204
Certificate:E
Year:2009
Genres:Sports, Television, Documentary

Plot:In 1997, Living with Lions - the behind the scenes story of the British & Irish Lions Tour of South Africa - was acclaimed as one of the greatest sports films ever made. Now, 12 years on, the British & Irish Lions were back in South Africa and so were our film crew, recording every minute of what was one of the greatest British & Irish Lions Test Series of all time.
With unprecedented access to all areas of the Tour, Living with the Pride is the most intimate, honest and intense portrait of life as a Lion ever produced.
From the Pennyhill Park training camp, to the magnificent final Test victory in Johannesburg, this is the inside story of how players, who are normally the fiercest of opponents, turned themselves into a band of brothers desperate to restore pride to the Lions jersey. Their grueling 10-match tour of the World Champions' back yard asked questions of the players' mental and physical strength like never before.
British & Irish Lions legend and Head Coach Ian McGeechan worked closely with our film crew to make an astonishing no-holds-barred documentary with access to every player, an open door to every team meeting, training session, selection meeting as well as excusive access to the passion, fury and ultimately elation of the Lions dressing room. This is a unique and uncompromising insight into life on a Lions Tour, described by Tour Manager Gerald Davies as 'the last great adventure in rugby'.
No Lions Series has ever been closer, with many commentators describing the second Test as 'the greatest rugby match ever'. Sometimes hilarious, but often brutal, bruising and moving, British and Irish Lions 2009 - Living with the Pride DVD is the official and exclusive behind the scenes story of one of the most exhilarating, emotional and memorable sports tours of all time.

My Review:
Of absolutely no interest to 99% of the world, but if you are interested in rugby, or like watching behind the scenes sporting documentaries, then this view into the lives of the British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa, the hardest full contact sport, in the hardest country, is a must. Not quite the 1997 groundbreaking Living with the Lions, but fascinating, awe inspiring and laced with some hilarious moments as can only be had by 40+ young fellas on tour.
