D2 The Mighty Ducks [1994] [DVD]  

D2 The Mighty Ducks [1994] [DVD]

Rated: Universal, suitable for all
Staring: Emilio Estevez, Kathryn Erbe, Michael Tucker, Jan Rubes, Carsten Norgaard
Director: Sam Weisman

This follow-up to the surprise Disney hit about a hockey team of misfits brings Emilio Estevez back to the role of the kids' yuppie coach. This time, Estevez assimilates his Ducks into the higher-stakes Team USA in the Junior Goodwill Games, an opportunity that could bring fame and money. Entirely perfunctory, this sequel is basically an excuse to revisit the eccentricities of some of the younger characters, extend some of their conflicts into adolescence and showcase their allegedly entertaining but ethically dubious abilities on the ice. Estevez is okay but even he had enough after this movie. --Tom Keogh

Absolutely great sports movie.
Predictable but entertaining story with a touch of idealism about the team sticking together and putting fun before success. In that sense definetely a bit cheesy but not overdone so people will still enjoy it. The Queen songs are fantastic and definetely fit in, we will quack you is a classic!! Great fun for everyone, not just hockey fans. Eventhough there are some great games in there.

Serving in Silence: The Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer [DVD] [1996] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]  

Serving in Silence: The Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer [DVD] [1996] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]

Staring: Glenn Close, Judy Davis, Jan Rubes, Wendy Makkena, Susan Barnes
Director: Jeff Bleckner

Glenn Close won an Emmy for her portrayal of Margare the Cammermeyer in this 1995 made-for-television film. An army medical officer in line for a career promotion during the Bush Administration but suddenly facing discharge proceedings after admitting to being a lesbian, the real-life Cammermeyer became a focus of national attention on the issue of gays in the military. This sensitive production focuses on Cammermeyer's decision to fight institutional bigotry and the way her family and that of her long-time partner, Diane Divelbess (Judy Davis, who also won an Emmy), rally to support these good people. The script by Alison Cross captures the sad irony of doing everything right--serving one's country, taking care of the people in one's life--yet still being treated like a pariah for entirely irrational reasons. A bit of dismissible controversy arose about a discreet kiss between the principals but for the most part this film is designed to win over the hearts and minds of a broad audience with its sheer humanity. --Tom Keogh
Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 serving with pride, 2008-10-29
Yes, this is another movie about how army regulations banning gays and lesbians from serving. Yes, this is another TRUE story about the being a lesbian in the armed forces. No, that does not make it pointless, done before and not worth watching.
'Serving in Silence' is a rather old movie now but it is amazing how little progress has been made in the 'dont ask, dont tell' decree held by the US armed forces.
Glenn Close is brilliant as Magarethe Cammermeyer, the highest ranked women to be thrown out of the army for being homosexual. Her courage, determination and belief in equality meant she didn't take it lying down which as you can imagine had many consequences back in the 80's (not that it wouldn't even now but probably less so!).
A very moving film which I have watched several times over due to its strong but subtle message, and don't ask me how they did it but there are also some funny/witty scenes thrown in for good measure.

Witness [DVD] [1985]  

Witness [DVD] [1985]

Rated: Suitable for 15 years and over
Staring: Harrison Ford, Kelly McGillis, Lukas Haas, Josef Sommer, Jan Rubes
Director: Peter Weir

When Samuel (Lukas Haas), a young Amish boy travelling with his mother Rachel (Kelly McGillis), witnesses the murder of a police officer in a public restroom, he and his mother become the temporary wards of John Book (Harrison Ford), a detective who's been assigned to solve the crime. After suspect line-ups and mug-shot books yield nothing, Samuel, in the most memorable scene of the film, recognizes the murderer as a narcotics agent whose picture he sees in the precinct. Once Book realizes that the police chief is in on it, too, he whisks Samuel and Rachel back home to Amish country, where he himself goes into hiding as a plain Amish man. Witness' juxtaposition of the life of the Amish and the violence of inner-city police corruption work surprisingly well for the story, and Kelly McGillis as the falling in love widow gives an almost perfect performance. Directed by Peter Weir, the film is extremely successful in drawing the viewer into its world and, accordingly, is immensely entertaining. The only thing that mars its polish is the one-dimensional, almost cartoonish handling of the upper-echelon police corruption--a subtler, more realistic treatment of this aspect of the story would have rendered the film near perfect. --James McGrath, Amazon.com

This is all about a great directing job by Peter Weir. The cop story is just the excuse to let feelings out from the main characters. Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis give outstanding performances, mainly due to the way the script is done: the say much more by the things they don't say. Silences are more important than words. The bathing scene is the best example. Peter Weir is able to convey all these feeling and still maintaining a great pace and rhythm. John Seale's cinematography and Maurice Jrre's music are both remarkable. Saw it first back in 85 (I was 11) and now again (I'm 31) and still amazes me... Such a pity that Kelly didn't get the career we thought she would have...

Class Action [DVD] [1990]

Rated: Suitable for 15 years and over
Staring: Gene Hackman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Joanna Merlin, Colin Friels, Laurence Fishburne
Director: Michael Apted

Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5Average rating of 5/5 a fearsome battle in court and at home, 2008-02-09
Yes, 5 Stars, probably worth 4 and a half. A little known gem, to the wider audience. A complicated case comes to court whereby a giant car company is being sued for producing dangerous vehicles. The alleged victims hire Gene Hackman from a small local company to take on the case for them, although he is well aware he is unlikely to win against the big company that is to defend the vehicle manufacturers. Matters become worse when he discovers that his own daughter will be the lead council opposing him.

War is declared at home and in court, with his wife left to pay the ultimate price. Hackman is marvelous in this, and really plays from the heart. One or two moments in this might put a tear or two in your eyes. At one point when a key witness pokes fun in court at the alleged victims, Hackman retorts 'it's all right for you to joke, you still have both your arms and legs'.

His daughter, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, hates her father for his past behaviour towards her mother and has no intention of losing the case, although events leave her with a moral dilemma. One can not help taking sides with the underdog, but how will this resolve itself ?? The film has a very fine ending, which is somewhat unexpected. Enjoy.

A superb collection of comedy films, the Mighty Ducks films have always been close to my heart, even encouraging me to take up Ice Hockey.

Theres something for everyone on all 3 films, and it will make you laugh constantly. Even at the age of 19 now, i still find it great fun to slouch on the sofa and watch one.

1 or 2 are the best ones, the 3rd drifts a bit off-topic really, but Emilio Estevez makes all 3 that little bit better.

Buy it at this great price now, you won't be dissappointed!

Another great thriller.

Goldie Hawn plays the widdowed wife of a museum director who mysteriously dies, only to return to reveal a web of deceipt (hence the title) of lies and a trail of theft and murder.

Complicated plot but very watchable.
