I decided to watch this one with Brittany today.  It is a little bitter-sweet for me though. As this was one of Dawn's (my late wife) favorite films and we watched it together countless times. So in one way it brought my thoughts to Dawn which for the most part is happy memories now... but I still get a little sad that she is no longer with us. Especially right now with Britt getting ready to leave for college. But another thought that comes to me... I am thrilled I got to share this film with my daughter as well. I always enjoyed this movie as well and it looked great on Blu-ray. I think the film held up rather well over the years. I can say I definitely enjoyed revisiting this film. A true classic.

Brotherhood Of The Wolf, a review by Rich

Brotherhood Of The Wolf



A dangerous, thrilling mystery of chilling proportions, BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF leaps from the screen with breathtaking action and incredible suspense blended with high-flying martial arts excitement.
When a mysterious beast ravages the countryside, two unlikely heroes are called in to fight the evil. The only way they can save the land from this unspeakable terror is to face their greatest fears, unearth a dark power and reveal a deadly secret. Harry Knowles of Aintitcoolnews.com raves, "A Remarkable Film. As Cool As They Come!"

A remarkable mix of fact and fiction, a fantasy like film involving martial arts, witchcraft, an indian, hero and heroine, and of course the French fabled beast from the 18th century.
Despite all of this it is incredibly dull, hollow and ridiculous. The plot is predictable, the acting average at best, and the direction weak. I would rate a hammer house of horror above this attempt, as it spiralled downhill after the first quarter of an hour. The scenery is pleasant, some of the effects inspiring, but the length of the film is truly painful and a marathon to endure.

The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

The A-Team



What's the show about?
The A-Team is a former Vietnam War commando unit that is accused of commiting a crime they didn't commit. While on the run from the US military they help out people who are threatened by criminals.

"Mexican Slayride"
A good friend of the reporter Amy Allen disappears in Mexico. She tries to get in contact with an elite commando, called The A-Team. They are supposed to be soldiers of fortune but they are very hard to find. But she finds them and they agree to Mexico...

My Opinion
It's a 80s classic show. Practically every episode is based upon the same basic plot, but it's a fun show to watch - at least until they slightly changed the concept in the fifth season where the show went harder - and was cancelled. In germany the show still runs every weekend on free TV.
