This is a good comedy. Not uproariously funny, but you feel good after seeing this black comedy. The basic plot involves a switch of bags at the airport. A medical student going to Mexico to meet 'the parents' for the first time gets the wrong bag. The Mob comes looking for it. The title of the movie tells you what's in the bag.

George Hamilton is actually quite good in this film, playing dear ol' Dad.

Every year I would watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas on TV. Never got tired of the charm of this holiday favorite. Then Jim Carey made a movie and it hasn't been on since. This is such an enjoyable animation, between the reader, the animation and the great songs that stick in your head. I highly recommend it.

This disk had a bonus with Horton Hears a Who. I must have watched this on TV a bunch of times growing up because I knew most of it by heart. Another great animation, but lacks the catchy songs of the Grinch.

I like this movie. Lots of action, lots of adventure, lots of action. That is what I wanted for my Saturday afternoon and I had that with this movie. Sure, a little short on story, but hey, I enjoyed it. If you like action and/or fast acting video games, this is one to see. If you are cerebral, or want a plot based movie, GI Joe is not for you.

Honestly, there was only one character in this one that I had issue with (the crazy scientist).

"He tasks me... I'll chase him round perdition's fire before I give him up."


My very favorite Star Trek movie. This movie has power! Ricardo Montalbán was fabulous in this movie. A gut wrenching, nail biting, thriller with a plot.
