Playboy: Babes of Baywatch
(1998)

Life is a beach with Playboy's Babes Of Baywatch.
We all came to love the beautiful ladies over the years on television, well it got better thanks to Playboy Home Video by making the Babes Of Baywatch. Playboy had already had most of these Baywatch beauties to grace the pages of the magazine and it was a smart thing to take video footage of each and put it together to form an all-star line-up. Just to mention a few featured are the beautiful Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy, Donna D' Errico, Erika Eleniak, and Traci Bingham. Much of this footage is beach footage but far different from the type of footage on Baywatch!

Playboy: Best of Playboy's Strip Search
(1997)

Yes take me on a tour of the best strip clubs around.
Playboy Home Video once again does it by showing the best seductive footage around. This time it's not playmates or famous women, but a tour of the hottest strip clubs in North America. Any man must confess that they like going to a strip club and most have been at least once in their lifetime. This Playboy video shows the most exquisite women on stage as they tease all over. Erotic entertainers are featured from cities like Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Tampa, Florida. The real treat along with the show footage is that the cameras go backstage to meet each sexy stunner personally.

Playboy: 21 Playmates Centerfold Collection
(1996)

21 is the magic number for viewing fun!
This Playboy video the 21 Playmates Centerfold Collection is a must for any collector's library. You name it over the years Playboy has captured some of the best playmates ever on film. The most known playmate featured on this video is the sexy Shannon Tweed believe me just featuring Shannon herself is enough to make a video a collector item. Morgan Fox is also real nice plus the remaining 19 are all a golden collection of playmates, this video is a nice addition to any library.

Are You Lonesome Tonight
(1992)

Jane Seymour stars in this sexy suspense thriller.
Are You Lonesome Tonight? isn't the best movie, but not a bad movie either. A few sexy scenes are provided even with Jane Seymour the story is as rich and erotic as ever. Seymour stars as a rich wife married to a business man who has secrets like his little thing with a phone sex girl. After the husband is missing only later to turn up dead by playing with the wrong kind of fire, a private eye (Parker Stevenson) helps Seymour solve the problem and bring justice on the situation. In the end the Seymour and Stevenson characters end up lovers, good TV movie watch it sometime all of you Jane Seymour fans.

Deadly Desire
(1991)

The hot and sexy Kathryn Harrold is my next county neighbor!
I just remember about ten years ago watching this movie on the USA cable network and saw it listed on the IMDB. The best I remember this movie features some hot and steamy scenes of the beautiful Kathryn Harrold, and to make things better I just learned that Kathryn grew up in a rural Virginia county just north and east of me she's part of southwest Virginia! I live in Buchanan county and Kathryn is a Tazewell county native! It's so nice to know that a beautiful actress grew up not far from the place you live! This is old and never hardly gets reruns but I'm glad I saw it and I always remember the region and birthplace of the beautiful Kathryn!

HBO Boxing
(2000)

Doesn't match the excitement and realism of an actual HBO boxing telecast.
This video game is in no way like the feel and excitement of an HBO broadcast. Sure you have all the HBO signatures like KO Nation, Boxing After Dark, World Championship Boxing, and TVKO Pay-Per-View with actual Las Vegas and Atlantic City venues. The best part of the game is the blow-by-blow commentary from the award winning broadcast team of Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant and Harold Lederman. Now the bad news the control and punch style of the boxers on this game is just to slow, for some reason or another learning to masters the control and movement of the boxers is just so hard. Second problem own fighter mode is hard and dull I just don't like the divisions and features of creating your own fighter, and picking the mangers is tough it's hard to be placed in good fights early on. Sure this game has the big name HBO fighters in Roy Jones Jr. and George Foreman, but the action is the big thing that doesn't deliver the sound and commentary is great I still suggest watching a telecast for the best HBO boxing experience.

Mike Tyson Boxing
(2000)

This is no punch-out!! but still any video game with the toughest and best boxer on the planet is just fine to play.
Remember the years of the great video game Tyson's Punch-Out!!, well now try Mike Tyson Boxing. The big difference this time is that you don't have to worry about trying to beat the great Tyson, instead fight as Tyson and take on fighters all over the globe. The graphics of this game are great Tyson is looking just like his actual self all of the other boxers are neat looking despite not being real. This isn't the best video game in the world, but a game with the tough Mike Tyson attracts interest.

Young Guns
(1988)

Now this is a western I can watch! A classic.
Being a younger generation movie watcher a western did not belong in my movie diet, that's more on the menu of my grandfather but with the modern cast like Sheen and Estevez and with the action Young Guns is my style of movie. From the first time of seeing Young Guns at the movies in 1988 to the present day each time I watch it I enjoy it. Now considered a classic with many TV viewings this is a movie you learn by heart, many of the scenes with Billy the kid (Estevez) are so well respected and remembered. The performances from Sheen and Lou Diamond Phillips are great it worked so good with the Emilio character. A great western classic to watch over and over to see how the west was won with gun-slinging.

Headline News
(1982)

The best and most accurate updated news by the minute in TV news history.
You name it you have it news that is anytime day or night every hour updated by the minute, with watching "Headline News" a person has the world right at the fingertips. Despite no longer having the talented and beautiful Lynne Russell around this 24 hour news cable service channel is still the best around as other young and talented female anchors are now driving the way of news success. Day or night turn to "Headline News" for the best and most updated information of all sorts believe me you'll be glad you did.

SportsCenter
(1979)

Scores, highlights, interviews, facts, trivia, and plays of the day you guessed right it's "SportsCenter" on ESPN.
This sports news show has now been going for over two decades, and shows no signs of slowing down "SportsCenter" seems to be staying for good. You name it when you want to know anything about sports of any type tune to this day or night. I know ESPN reruns enough of these shows over and over during the mornings and during the day, but hey this is the networks bread and butter, so a viewer has a chance to catch something if they miss it right off. The reporters and anchors are some of the best and most knowledgeable in the business that is well evidenced in Chris Berman, Charlie Steiner, and Brian Kenny. Some of the female anchors are colorful and talented you can notice that so well in Robin Roberts and Linda Cohn. So if your a sports buff making "SportsCenter" apart of your week is a must.

Ulee's Gold
(1997)

Good movie with a great and simple plot about the problems of life involving a war veteran who returns to beekeeping in a small Florida town while taking care of family.
Now I see why this is such a good movie, the plot is simple and people can relate to these same problems that many families experience. I was very thankful to find this video on sale it's worth every gold penny! Ulee's Gold has Peter Fonda as a Florida beekeeper who returns to take care of family while his son is in prison. Problems are many dealing with the mother of his two granddaughters the mother is battling a drug problem, plus dealing with dangerous thugs who are former friends of his son. These problems all turn to gold in the end as you will find during this film that the Fonda character discovers his soul with the strength and courage that helps everyone begin life anew. Great performance from Peter Fonda a golden globe winner. This was the movie debut of Jessica Biel, believe me she is a future babe.

Sightings
(1991)

Reports of monsters, aliens, hauntings, creatures and the unexplained then this is the show for you!
Now from time to time I watch this series which now reruns on the Sci-Fi channel, and "Sightings" is a series that always leaves a viewer thinking. The stories featured on this program are real not made up only to be told and reported in a way to leave the viewer thinking with wonder and mystery. From hauntings, Bigfoot sightings, ghosts, urban legends, and the unexplained this series has it all a must watch if you like to let your mind explore!

In Search of...
(1977)

One of the best TV-series in history that involves mystery and the search for hidden creatures, hosted by the great Leonard Nimoy.
Want to know about Bigfoot, The Honey Island Swamp Monster of Louisiana, and other monsters and the unexplained then go "In Search of". "In Search of" does a great job of exploring the hidden while at the same time the program searches for answers by research and actual reports and accounts. Leonard Nimoy is great at hosting this series his voice is among the best ever. Watch the reruns of "In Search of" on the History Channel.

Valentine
(2001)

Good horror flick with a good story and a surprise ending, and hope for a sequel.
Sure I know Valentine isn't the best horror film ever made, but it's a blend of terror mixed with sexy dialogue. The story is very good as it travels through the years having you thinking all the time the killings are motivated by revenge only to have a surprise in the end when you see who the masked killer is. Many people are given a rough time, but often others surprise and cause terror on others for their own hidden pain. Valentine is a great movie which has terror taken out on a cliche of people plus the sexy feeling from some of the female actresses will make you really enjoy this flick and the ending proves we need a sequel.

Kiss of a Killer
(1993)

Great TV movie that shows just how a secret past and secret life can figure with murder.
Just watched this movie on Lifetime I must say just great! Annette O' Toole star of "The, Huntress" stars as a woman who has had a bad life due to the way of her worrying mother. So to spice things up Annette is a character of a secret life of meeting and seducing men, only to cross paths with a murdering rapists. Gladly and finally the worry and problems with mother are solved, plus the rapists is history. I must say this was the best role ever for Annette O' Toole, she is very very sexy in this movie!! A must see for the good plot and most of all watch it for the great performance giving by Annette O' Toole.

Planet of the Apes
(2001)

The apes are among us.
I never saw the original 1968 Planet of the Apes, which was extremely popular but I decided to give the 2001 version a watch. Tim Burton once again proves just how great and Gothic that he can direct a movie, Burton has the darkest touch of anyone in Hollywood. Being a Bigfoot enthusiast a movie like Planet of the Apes is just a must see for me. This movie is more than just about a human who has to battle an ape for the rights to get along on the planet. Apes are shown and portrayed as being very smart and clever Burton must have done his homework as he well showed in this movie for example apes bury their dead and of course they can't swim, and Bigfoots are the same way! I strongly believe that apes and bigfoots are among us all anywhere that is proven with the ending of this film!

Sex, Lies & Obsession
(2001)

Good TV movie that deals with an issue(sex addict) that deserves more attention.
A few months ago on Lifetime I watched this educational and informative TV movie, and it was great! The acting was well done by real husband and wife Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna. I'm sure many men suffer from the problem of being a sex-addict and don't want to receive help. While the life of their many love ones are destroyed including the many marriages it breaks. Sex, Lies & Obsession shows it all the chronic problem of addiction and family problems, but most of all the courage to seek help with treatment. I'm sure this will show again on the Lifetime Networks please watch it you will enjoy.

America's Sweethearts
(2001)

One of the best romantic/comedy movies in recent years, which was made great by an all-star cast.
If you only see one movie this summer then make it America's Sweethearts. This romance/comedy shows just how life can take turns that you don't expect in terms of family and love relationships. In the end you see just how the status of people can change with some who have their popularity decrease while the unexpected gain respect through the truth and love as in this case it is the characters of Julia Roberts and John Cusack. The funny moments made this movie work so good and this film shows a good look at the pressure that movie stars face and most common of all the movie star couples that split this being the Jones and Cusack character. I must say that Catherine Zeta-Jones proved just what a great actress she is, I now call her Catherine the great with the way she handled this role. I must mention the funny Billy Crystal who wrote this movie was just wonderful, he provided the funniest moments of the movie. The all-star cast of Julia Roberts, Catherine Zeta-Jones, John Cusack, and Billy Crystal were all perfect for their parts and their performances were great. America's Sweethearts is a great movie to go out and see right away not only for the laughter, but it proves that with the truth and seeking the honest things that we can all find our own American Sweetheart.

Playboy Video Centerfold: Playmate of the Year Victoria Silvstedt
(1997)

OK I've seen better Playboy videos.
Nothing really special or bad with this video. It's good footage of 1997 Playmate of the Year Victoria Silvstedt with a bonus treat of Shauna Sand. I remember Sand from a "Renegade" episode in fact Shauna later married star Lorenzo Lamas. The Shauna footage is just as good as the Victoria. This video is good, but Playboy has many other videos that are better than this.

Larry King Live
(1985)

The talk show that features anybody and everybody of the entertainment and political world, and the tough questions are asked by Larry plus many times the most controversial issues are talked about.
Love him or hate him if you haven't yet then learn to respect the talk show king that being Larry King. "Larry King Live" has been a key success for CNN now for 16 years, over the years Larry features the people from the entertainment and political world in which they talk about issues concerning life and current times of the world. Larry is a great host as he can ask the tough questions to anybody, plus when a scandal or controversial issue is making headlines this talk show examines best. During Monday thru Friday at 9PM on CNN "Larry King Live" has become idolized pop culture so tune in.

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan
(1989)

A different look and change of scenery doesn't stop a killer.
This time we find masked killer Jason in Manhattan killing a high school group of kids. It was nice to see this series and Jason away from Camp Crystal Lake the city sure doesn't slow a killer down it only increases the terror, this was another good entry in the Friday movie series.

Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
(1988)

One of the best movies of the Friday the 13th series. Good concept a killer VS. psychic power.
Jason out of the lake to do battle with a psychic now what a good concept for a horror series! This Friday still has the gore and blood, but it was sure nice to see Jason get a challenge like this from a psychic, because you need all the extra help possible to bring down and destroy this killer.

Jason Lives: Friday the 13th Part VI
(1986)

Should have said Jason returns.
Well you guessed the masked killer the crazy Jason is back killing again. What does it take to keep a killer down like this? People with hockey mask must really be tough, perhaps the teens should have tried football equipment and tackle this hockey killer!!

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
(1984)

Far from the final chapter.
This fourth installment had many to think the series was over with the death of Jason, but just wait until the sixth Friday. It sure was fun watching this one and seeing a young Corey Feldman put a temporary end to Jason with good gore, action, and suspense.

Friday the 13th Part III
(1982)

More of the same.
Again get ready for Jason to kill more teens at the bloody and dark Camp Crystal Lake. Once again the strange and chilling music is played just like in the other Friday the 13th movies. Pity the sex crazed teens! Jason is a cut above them!
