Avalanche (1999)
7/10
1961 was a Great Year!
20 October 2004
Want one Reason to buy or watch Avalanche 1999? Want it or not it's Hilary Shepard as Annie. Let the non-existent polar bear eat the others, but give me more of that killer babe in those tight spray-on pants. Like the best wines she just keeps getting better with age. Great casting, even better wardrobe, and who cares what she says or doesn't! She looks great doing it !!!!! Stock footage? Who cares???? Hilary forgives a multitude of sins! If she were on the other side of the confessional, I wouldn't miss going! Avalanche is a better view than the nightly news, a credit I'd take, and cash is cash - no pro on the pic has anything to be embarrassed about. Not every pic needs to have or can have a 'billion' dollar budget. It's a watch able film & I'd for one visit Alaska because of it. It's probably more accurate, true to life, etc. than Election 2004. A good film to have on in the background or work to.

Bad Santa (2003)
10/10
Film's New Evolutionary Track - Pinball For One & ALL!
14 September 2004
Anyone that does not own a copy of Bad Santa can NOT possibly be a fan of long-form feature films. Kinda figured since Billy Bob had been w/ Angelina Jolie any pic he'd be in had to be good & what can I say other than this indicator is even better that I thought it would be. Bad Santa is perfectly cast, directed with the skill only a higher being could bring, and is so funny you'd better have time to watch it w/o stopping. Lauren Graham as Sue couldn't be any better. We all should be so lucky as to experience Sue's sense of adventure and concern for her fellow man. Want to see more of this stellar talent.

One of the best scripts ever written. No fat, no fluff, just hard hitting perfection.

Great music as well.

Bad Santa takes all the elements that make up the film art form & set new standards for what a film can be.

Darwin couldn't have beat the evolutionary track this pic created. After all the negative stuff I heard about Bad Santa, it was NOT expected, and proved just how short-sighted some / all too many can be.

Bad Santa is a tale of love, the best of the holiday spirit, finding one's path, and turning problems into solutions & making the best of what life throws a person - Not condemning people / things / etc. for failing to be a clone of a disinfectant.

Loved the editing, cinematography, lighting, everything! Briana Norton as Pinball Girl is the reason why the Film Industry exists in the First Place. Actresses like this are the reason why producers & executives alike g-light multi-million dollar projects. No need for a money shot w/ Briana!

The feel good comedy for this millennium.

Ho Ho Ho !
