Bones: Player Under Pressure (2008)
basketball players
The team investigate the a body found behind bleachers of a basketball court on a college campus. even more insight gets put towards the relationship or that-soon-to-be-one of Bones and Booth, not to mention all the stereotypes of the college athletes, star or otherwise.
however, one thing of note, all the basketball players (seen at the end of one of their practices talking with the coach before being dismissed) were basically the same height. and the supposed new starting power forward for the team who would replace the dead athlete, was shorter than Bones. just thought I'd point out the not-so-smart casting done by the crew. either that or bad writing that made a under-6-foot actor be a power forward in college instead of a much more likely scenario of a point-guard.
D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994)
Canada is the best Hockey nation in the World
As much as I liked this movie, along with the other Mighty Ducks movies, I just have one question? Where is Canada? I mean, Iceland??? Sorry but it is just hard to get too into it knowing that the team that wins every tournament at all ages, said team being Canada, was not in there. Its too bad really because they would have smoked team USA just like they always do. That would have made the movie so much better! But I guess it makes sense in a way. I guess the writers of the movie knew that if they included Canada in the movie, it just wouldn't make sense to have Team USA beat them, so they put a team like Iceland in it instead so it would be easier for the Americans to win, and more realistic in a way. But still, Writers, Canada wins every time. It would have been nice to include them because we all know, there is nothing wrong with the team the movie is centred around, losing. Take for example, Sunset Park. The team doesn't always have to win to make a successful movie.
Mercenary for Justice (2006)
Worth the 90 minutes it takes to watch this flick
Not one of Seagal's better flicks, but this one has the advantage of Seagal doing all the fighting himself, and not using stunt doubles as he has done in previous flicks. He pulled off an assortment of Aikido moves from Kotegaishi to Koshinage, some of my favorite Aikido flips. The fighting took much much less screen time then gunfights, but alas, Seagal stayed true to his Aikido background.
I thought the special effects were good, and the acting wasn't all that bad, which was a pleasant surprise.
All things considered, it is worth the watch. So if you like Seagal, and you have 90 minutes to watch it, go for it, you might just like what you see.
