This is really no more then an average comedy. There isn't too much here you haven't seen many times over. Though I did get a kick out of the "King of the Mountain" competition. Where snowboarders started on the top of the mountain... with a mug of beer in their hand. Then went down the mountain... holding the mug of beer. Whoever had the most beer left in their mug at the bottom of the mountain wins. This film does have a lot of familiar faces that I know from various TV Shows. A. J. Cook and Zach Galifianakis were both in Tru Calling. Caroline Dhavernas was in Wonderfalls and Off the Map. And then of course there was Lee Majors who was the Six Million Dollar Man. Even with these well known actors... the acting left plenty to be desired. But there is enough fun here to keep you entertained through-out the entire movie. Just not something I see myself re-watching often.

Rocky Balboa, a review by Rich

12/11

Rocky Balboa



Never give up, and never stop believing.

When he loses a highly publicized virtual boxing match to ex-champ Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), reigning heavyweight title holder Mason Dixon (Antonio Tarver) retaliates by challenging the Italian Stallion to a nationally televised, 10-round exhibition bout. To the surprise of his son (Milo Ventimiglia, TV's Heroes) and friends, Rocky agrees to come out of retirement and face an opponent who's faster, stronger and thirty years his junior. With the odds stacked firmly against him, Rocky takes on Dixon in what will become the greatest fight in boxing history, a hard-hitting, action-packed battle of the ages!

Talk about flogging a dead horse - no wonder you can find this dvd in bargain buckets acrosss the UK now!
Better than the 4th (can you remember how gay that was), and nearly as boring as the 5th, Sly is just too old and plastic now for me to find this in any way believable. I was surprised to read good reviews on this, but personally it missed the mark and the plotline was just too old hat and obvious to catch my attention.
Current fighter gets in the ring against a 60+ retired fighter = one dead old guy. Sorry but thats the truth.
One to miss

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

16. Epiphany
Original Air Date: 2/27/2001
After an empty night of passion with Darla, Angel surprisingly wakes up with his soul still intact and has an epiphany. His moment of clarity brings him back to the land of the living and while he tries to reunite with his crew, Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn aren't ready to forgive him, even when their very lives are at stake.

Guest Stars:
Elisabeth Rohm
Christian Kane
Julie Benz

My Thoughts:
Another good episode. Enjoyed it quite a bit.  I am just glad Angel is back with his crew. It just didn't feel right when they were apart. Of course they haven't completely forgiven him yet... and he will pay some before it is all over. But at least he is back with them. I also liked Darla's reaction when she found out that Angel wasn't evil after their night together.

My Rating:
