You can win money playing this "fantasty football" thing?

Where have I been?

"The Long Kiss Goodnight" was probably my favorite of the ones added.  I'd had it on VHS and didn't realize I didn't have it on DvD till I went to the rack to watch it and there was nothing but thin air.  One of the best action flicks of the 90's.

Long Kiss Goodnight is probably the worst film Sam Jackson has been in. Yep, can't think of any worse. And the chick in it is both unattractive and unconvincing. That pretty much kills an Hollywood action film for me. Do you really rate it higher than:

Cliffhanger
Heat
Ronin
Bad Boys

?

Heat and Ronin were great flicks... Cliffhanger and Bad Boys arent even in the same ballpark.

Maybe not great films, but I thought they were more entertaining than Long Kiss Goodnight. Uncomplicated and honest. Besides Bad Boys had a hot Porsche in it and I always seem to think of the legs on that girl when I think of that film. ;)

Buddy of mine won $1,800 playing online poker on Saturday night.  His girlfiend broke up with him the night before.  I think the two are related somehow.

Long kiss goodnight was awesome.  If you're a Samuel L. Jackson fan then it is not going to be one of your favorites since he's not really in it that much... but Geena Davis was great in it... transitioning from naughty to nice quite well.

Did they ever release "The Final Countdown" onto DVD yet?  

And clean it up...it seems a lot of "Now on DVD" movies are dark, not remastered etc and just have that same low quality VHS look on DVD

I haven't seen a single movie that looked "VHS" like on DvD with the exception of "The Toxic Avenger" which didn't even have the sound track synced to the movie.

I'll have to check which one it is, but one of the Highlander movies I bought on DVD is terrible.  

I paid $9, I got $9 worth  lol

LOL! you should have just stuck with the first one because ALL OF THE OTHER HIGHLANDER MOVIES ARE TERRIBLE.  Some were made for T.V. and I swear they used video tape to record them.

Yea...I figure now, in hindsight, when the unerlying theme of the movie is "There can only be one"...I should've given up on the sequels too!

Just picked up one of the best movies Jonny Depp has ever made.  As well as John Ritter's funniest.

I have about 100 dvd's but Ronin is the only one of those mentioned I have... Heat would be allright.

Ahem...there was only one Highlander movie ever made.  Only one do you hear me?  And I defy you to convince me otherwise.
