Plot:
Frank (Willis) is a former black-ops CIA agent living a quiet life alone... until the day a hit squad shows up to kill him. With his identity compromised, Frank reassembles his old team Joe (Freeman), Marvin (Malkovich) and Victoria (Mirren) and sets out to prove that they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. Stand back and watch the bullets fly in this explosive action-comedy that critics call "A rip-roaring good time". (Kevin Steincross, Fox-TV).

Just finished this one. I really enjoyed it. A real fun action flick with a lot of big name stars in it. Definitely well worth the time put in to watch it. Now I just need to find part 2 to add to my collection.

Man of the East, a review by DJ Doena

Terence Hill    ...    Sir Thomas Fitzpatrick Phillip Moore
Gregory Walcott   ...    Bull Schmidt
Yanti Somer   ...    Candida Austin
Dominic Barto   ...    Monkey Smith
Harry Carey Jr.   ...    Holy Joe
Riccardo Pizzuti   ...    Morton Clayton

Synopsis: A young Sir from England comes over to California after his father died there. He inherits his farm and meets three of his father's friends. Bu they are three gunslingers who hate progress. But over time they will become friends and change their respective lives in a way none of them had anticipated.

My Opinion: This is one of my Hill favourites. I love to see him ride bicycle through a western town and to suddenly start reciting a poem by Walt Whitman or how he tried to explain how fertile the earth on the farm is by squeezing a pile of horse shit.

"Due South" marathon, a review by Rick

Chicago Holiday - Part 2

Glad to see Ray and Fraser working the case together again.  The episode wrapped up nicely.

A nice bonus in this episode. A couple of great arrangements by a singer named Holly Cole, including "Que Sera Sera". I had not noticed them previously but they jumped out at me tonight. I'll have to grab some of her music.
