Synopsis: The destroyer U.S.S. Missouri embarks on its last journey from Pearl Harbor to San Francisco where she will be decommissioned. Manned only with a skeleton crew the crew prepares for the captain's birthday party - including the cook, Casey Ryback. But the party takes an unexpected turn and the ship is suddenly in the hands of mercenaries who want to get their hands on the nuclear warheads from the ship's arsenal. The only people who can stop them is "just a cook" - and a stripper.

My Opinion: I love this movie. I know it's cheesy but Casey and Jordan work very well together and Stranix and Krill are really cool bastards. And then there's of course the jumping-out-of-a-cake scene.
It's a nice action movie but there's one scene that upvalues the movie for me and that is the last scene of the movie where Ryback pays his last respects to the captain - in full dress uniform.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

We Are the Eggmen

Since starting season 2 I have found that I just didn't care for this series as much as I had. But I must admit... this episode I enjoyed. It felt like the episodes from season 1. I got a kick at the end of the episode with them throwing the eggs to get the bad guys. Was a fun episode.

My Rating:=
