Predictable sports movies are fun; Cinderella sports movies accurate down to exact shots, blocks, and body checks are few. Director Gavin O’Connor casted hockey players who could act in the reenactment of a ragtag bunch of college hockey players facing off against - [/and defeating] - the juggernaut Soviet Red Army hockey team in the Lake Placid 1980 Olympics. The attention to recreating game details...
Turn off your brain, suspend reality, and enjoy this mindless, cliché nugget. Just as Hallmark Channel is the ‘go to’ for women who want to escape and put their brains in low idle, Torque is a most suitable male equivalent. That said, you will be hard pressed to find any women who will endure the mindless predictable bravado, misunderstood and ‘on the lam’ Ford (played by Martin Henderson),...
This (imperceptibly) Australian-made horror movie from writer-director siblings Colin and Cameron Cairnes, perhaps best described as Network meets The Exorcist, is a nostalgic tribute to the dark...
I don't want to give any spoilers because there is almost no action. The entire thing relies on the premise, how the plot unfolds, and the tension between characters. Solid social commentary on the evils of Communism without having too much one dimensional bad guy stuff. (Like how the "Pianist" has the nazis push grandmas outside of 2nd story windows.) Power corrupts and we all make compromises. Even...

Read my review of the first one because I said pretty much everything I wanted to say about both. But basically, the main focus is how to keep the weight off. As Layne Norton says, "Americans don't have a weight loss problem, we have a weight regain problem."

While watching that "Fasting: Healer Within" free documentary on YouTube, they had this Aussie on as a guest. And referenced this documentary he made about juicing. I had never heard of it because I might have been too young when it came out but I remember my pops getting into juicing around that time. Fascinating to think the plant based diet trend had this Australian guy as a big catalyst. Good on...
This was free on YouTube and suggested to me for some reason. So I watched it since I have done several fasts myself. Good way to lose weight but the key is keeping it off. I did snake juice fasts (just water fasts but you also drink electrolytes) and my longest was 8 days. There's definitely some benefits besides weight loss like autophagy and other spiritual reasons. If you're a perrennialist you...
