Friday Night Lights, a review by Rich

Friday Night Lights



A genuine stand-up-and-cheer movie about a courageous high school football team's fight to fulfill their destiny and live their dream, Friday Night Lights is "unforgettable and real" (Larry King). Billy Bob Thornton stars in a true American story of how one legendary Texas town made hope come alive under the exhilarating glare of Friday Night Lights! "One of the greatest sports stories ever told" (Sports Illustrated) is now "one of the greatest sports movies ever made" (Larry King).

It has been years since I seen this movie and once again the first time I seen it on Blu-ray. Whether you are a horror fan... a sci-fi fan... or both this is a must see film. The movie is very well done and has held up incredibly well. I feel Sigourney Weaver does a fantastic job here as Ripley. The loiok and the feel of the alien was great, Especially considering this film is almost40 years old!

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

A Cop, A Mountie And A Baby

This is a great episode... I enjoyed every second of it. Matter of fact this is (IMO) the best episode since the pilot movie.  It is a great storyline. I also liked that Diefenbaker was a big part of this episode. I missed him in the last couple episodes where he was barely there. They really fell into something great when they decided on having the wolf in this series.

But one thing I notice is they seemed to forget all about the wolf being deaf thing. There has been a few times now that they showed Fraser give Diefenbaker commands without looking him in the face to do so. Or am I just imagining things?  

My Rating:
