Lake Placid 2 (2007)
Excellent production for the SciFi channel
I thought this film was rather well done as far as a SCIFI channel production goes. You have to admit that when compared to the majority of SCIFI channel films, this one does stand out. I don't understand the previous comment of, Not Worth The Time. To each their own, I guess? Anyway I really enjoyed the film myself. Crazy Sadie was pretty comical in her role and there was more blood shown than usual in a SCIFI production. The trailer reads, 3 crocodiles when it turns out there are actually four? An oversight or intentional? All in all the story line is weak yet the special effects and bloody scenes make this one a pretty decent flick. Besides what do you expect for a made for television film? SCIFI channels best production so far this year I believe is, Pumpkinhead 4.
Starrcade (1983)
AWA Super Sunday was the First and Greatest, I should know as I was there !
Professional wrestling history was made on April 24th 1983.
More than 30,000 fans jammed into two sold-out arenas to witness the first ever
mega-event promoted by the American Wrestling Association.
The Civic Center in St. Paul, Minnesota played host to 20,000 fans while an additional 10,000
fans were watching via closed circuit television next door in the St. Paul Auditorium.
The event sold out in three days. Promotors called it Super Sunday.
Ad in Media presents the classic wrestling documentary called
"Super Sunday: Running Wild"
This two hour Pay-Per-View special was hosted by the legendary wrestling announcer,
"Mean Gene" Okerlund and Roger Tronguard
SO LET'S GIVE PROPER CREDIT TO VERNE GAGNE
as he was the original creator of the first and greatest wrestling event!

Fantastic Animation Festival (1977)
One of my all time favorites
This film was released on VHS back in 1978 by Media-Home Entertainment, Inc. I know this to be true because I have the videocassette in hand and enjoy it often. Despite what others have posted about this film never being legally released, this is an untruth. The tape/film runs for approx 91 minutes and has excellent 2 channel audio yet this release was before Dolby was used on VHS cassettes. I first saw this film at a midnight movie in downtown Minneapolis. Every time the theater ran this film it was a gigantic party. People brought their own methods of enjoyment and relaxation with them to the theater and everyone got along and enjoyed it. The good old days when people were allowed to enjoy themselves in a public forum without being hassled by others. The one film of the clay people really sticks out in my mind as well as the Closed Mondays segment. So many people want this film that I just don't understand why it has not been re-released. Perhaps there are too many artists and musicians rights involved as to work out all the legal agreements necessary to release it again.
Tuesday Night Titans (1984)
The Best of the WWF Indeed
Tuesday Night Titans was probably the most ingenious programming Vince McMahon ever attempted. These shows profile the wrestler's in a very non-athletic way, which I always enjoyed more than their actual in ring abilities. The skits and interview segments are priceless. I have recently had the chance to view some copies on disc recorded from WWE 24-7 which disappointed me greatly. To see such original programming cut and edited almost brought tears to my eyes. This prompted me to watch some of my old recordings of the original broadcasts. Thank God I had the vision to record and archive these shows as originally broadcast. I must congratulate Vince McMahon on this program but don't agree with his current philosophy when re-releasing the older content from the WWF archives. I own every video ever released by Coliseum Video as well and am glad I paid the price for each and every one of them. Vince your a genius indeed but why alter such great original programming as Tuesday Night Titans?
