I only saw part of this movie coming in the middle no less. I may not have missed much. My twin sister Betty Ceniza in the Detroit area bought this thing and gave me the following "critique": Who in their right mind decided to make this movie! It is Casablanca with explosions...but without the romance as people keep falling over. However there are Pam's boobs. They are everywhere. This could have been a "tits & a$$" movie but there is just Pam's tits and nobody's ass. Very bizarre to say the least. Pam plays the Bogart role, Temuera Morrison plays the Ingrid Bergman Role and Victoria Winters plays the Paul Heinried role. There are also people playing the Sidney Greenstreet roe, the Claude Rains and Conrad Veidt roles. This isn't WW2 but a future America that has become two armed camps. The scientist Victoria Rowell knows some secret but Betty was so hypnotized by Pam's boobs she can't remember what it was. Pam literally follows them into the room. After lotsa explosions and everybody saying sh%t (their byword in this movie) the heroes prevail. Pam is very shapely and good in the actions scenes but she really cannot act. At least Tem Morrison and Victoria Rowell can act as both of them are soap opera veterans and managed to lend some believability to their roles. Although having just seen Star Wars Episode 2 it looked like Jango Fett married to Drucilla Winters of Y&R. How did they get talked into this? The DVD had a section of "deleted sexy scenes" but all you saw was Pam swinging upside down on a trapeze, boobs exposed with water hitting her for extra affect, maybe so she could stay conscious??? All in all a very bizarre movie but at least the action kept you somewhat interested.

The Lifeboat
(1994– )
One of the best drama series I'd seen on TV
17 October 2005
I was fortunate enough to catch this series on TV Ontario, the Canadian public broadcast channel, in 1998. My sister had originally seen it on its first run in 1994 and told me about it. Yes, some of the stories about the characters' lives were leaning toward soap opera but that is to be expected in many series. However, the show came to life when they launched the Lifeboat. This show had one of the most haunting song/scores I had ever heard. It fit the action of launching the lifeboat into an ever dangerous, rough, cold sea so perfectly. Suddenly you would forget some of the tawdry or tense goings-on among the characters and follow the real hero/main character of this show - The Lifeboat itself as it went down to the sea to complete its mission(s) for which it was built.
The Pride and the Passion
(1957)
Very impressive gun
1 May 2005
I for some reason never saw this film at the show and only saw half of it on TV many years later. The only thing I really do remember very clearly about this film was that enormous cannon and how the British cannon expert and the Spanish rebels had to drag this thing literally all over Spain and attempting to keep the French army from finding it. One of the best scenes in the movie was during the religious festival. The night before you see them pushing it into the church. The next scene is in the morning and for the French it is nowhere in sight. You see the religious procession starting and then as the float carrying the Saint passes by the camera swings in close and then under the float. The cannon in all its enormous glory IS the float carrying the Saint. For me having come into the movie in the middle this was as I said all that I really remember.
