It's the rematch of the century as Rocky Balboa takes on Apollo Creed in this powerful follow-up to one of the most acclaimed movies in film history. Writer-Director-Star Sylvester Stallone succeeds in creating a powerful feel-good movie hailed as "a stunning effort in every way" (Archer Winston, New York Post).

After club fighter Rocky Balboa (Stallone) goes the distance with the world heavyweight champion, boxing fans clamour for a rematch. But Rocky, having sustained massive injuries in the bout, announces his retirement. Though he tries to make a new life for himself, Rocky realizes that he can't escape his true calling. The ring beckons once more, and the "Italian Stallion" must prepare for the fight of his life.

My Thoughts:
I must say... I enjoyed this one just as much as the first one. Once again there is some slow parts but slow or not... it kept my attention. The final fight scenes were great in this one as well. This is another one that definitely is worth the time put in to watch it. You all probably won't be surprised... that my brother and I decided to continue on to Rocky III.

My Rating:

Mutiny on the Bounty, a review by Rich


sailing to Tahiti...



Title: Mutiny on the Bounty

Runtime:127
Certificate:PG
Year:1935
Genres:Action, Adventure, Classic

Plot:My Review:
All 3 actors above were best actor nominees, and no wonder! An excellent film, and despite over 70 years of filmmaking still holds it's own as an enjoyable adaptation of a wonderful story. Brilliant directing, acting, cinematography, in fact very hard to find fault. As this can be picked up fairly cheap if you look around, I whole-heartedly recommend the purchasing of this piece of cinematic history.

Psych: The Complete Third Season, a review by addicted2dvd


     Psych: The Complete Third Season (2008/United States)


Stars:Extras:
  • Audio Commentary
  • Bonus Trailers
  • Deleted Scenes
  • Featurettes
  • Outtakes/Bloopers


My Thoughts:
Last night I finished season 3 (and started Season 4)... I am still enjoying the series quite a bit... though I have found I am not laughing quite as much as I did over the first couple of seasons. There has been a gradual decline in the laugh out loud moments. But find it still well worth watching. There is a lot of good episodes this season... so had a hard time picking out a favorite episode of the season. But when it came down to it I had to pick An Evening wtih Mr. Yang which was the season finale. Not so much for any comedy in the episode... as there was very little. But because he went up against a serial killer. It especially got good once the serial killer got a hold of his mother.
