Review:
Have a look at that gorgeous bear Mr Burmester is !! Haven't you noticed him before ? He is one of the reasons I still keep watching this film. He's got one of the sweetest bear faces I have ever seen and all without loosing any of that masculinity he oozes throughout the film. Lovely eyes, marvellous smile, beautiful golden hair and beard...You can also see him soaking wet on his swimming suit during one of the most exciting sequences in the film. Give it a go and you will also fall in love with him!! Daniel G R

Review:
Joe Son makes only brief appearances in this movie, playing the Dr. Evil's hitman Random Task. But if you like Asian bears, Joe's performance is definitely worth checking out. (Though beware the scenes where Austin Powers takes his shirt off -- his fake chest hair is downright nauseating.)

Review:
A true dud! Saved only by the appearance of several bears. This adaptation of the classic 60's series does itself no favours by employing the wooden Ralph Fiennes as Steed. Uma Thurman makes a brave stab at Mrs Peel but it's largely to no effect. Patrick McNee has a small role, but he's invisible throughout! Small cameos by Eddie Izzard, Shaun Ryder and Jim Broadbent help, but the one saving grace is Sir Sean Connery, who has to contend with another fright wig, but he does don a very camp tartan, plus he has the only decent line of dialogue in the whole disastrous affair, something about "ten inches overnight in India"?

Review:
Neither Brinkley ("Murphy Brown"'s Carl the cameraman), nor McGee have main roles (Brinkley is one of the bad guys, McGee is a bartender), but it's a fun movie to watch. (Trivia: both have small roles in "Twin Peaks")

Review:
Sean Connery's final appearance as James Bond. The cast of badguys includes a pair of fey, sardonic killers who appear to be gay lovers, the shaggy Mr. Kidd (Putter Smith) and Mr. Wint. All this and Plenty O' Toole.

Review:
Hopkins and Alec Baldwin are rivals who crash in the Alaskan wilderness and have to work together (despite hating each other) to survive. Ordeals include being hunted by a "real" bear. Both men are enchanted by the effects of there being no razors around in the wilds of Alaska. :-)

Featured Bears: Gene Hackman |
| |
|
Review:
Essentially, a star vehicle for Hugh Grant after the dire Nine Months which was his entre to Hollywood after the world-wide success of Four Weddings, this particular medical suspense thriller follows in the line of earlier films such as Coma. However, it is the terrifically convincing performance of Gene Hackman who consistently turns in yet another wonderful baddie/villain. Following on from the likes of Unforgiven and The Quick and the Dead, Hackman bristles malevolence in a very sexy bearish manner. Full marks, especially for that moustache!

Review:
James Gandolfini plays a character called 'Bear' in this movie. He is extrememly woofy and has a full beard. Just one look at this guy will convince you that he should be in your movie list and of course part of every bears video collection. He also plays Tony Soprano in the wonderful 'The Sopranos' in which you do get to see his nice hairy chest.

|
Review:
Hail the all-conquering bears!!! The sword and sandal epic reinvented by Ridley Scott, a Bear director, gives Oliver Reed his last chance to shine on the big screen. Aside from that, there is Russell Crowe's naked torso to salivate over, Richard Harris doing his Daddy Bear bit, with Derek Jacobi in a toga for the first time in twenty years. Special reference should be made of the opening scene with the hirsute German tribe led by the most magnificent bear to be seen in recent movie history (Chick Allen). He's huge, boys!!!

Several bears: Jacobi (Claudius), Blessed (Ghost of Hamlet's father), Spall (Rosencranz), among a cast of stars, some who sport beards for their roles (Brannagh, Robin Williams, etc.)

Featured Bears: Donald Sinden David Gwillim |
| |
|
Review:
Donald Sinden plays the central role of Sir Anthony Ross who travels to the North Pole in search of his son, Donald. Employing an airship, he travels to a volanic island at the top of the world, populated by Vikings. A daft fantasy picture, very much in the vein of Jules Verne, with some fairly impressive effects, although overall not one of Disney's best. Plus points, however, are Sinden's bearded father searching for his bearded son, the cute David Gwillim, the last third of the movie has a positive horde of mad, and very, hirsute Vikings.

Review:
A 6-tape set from the A&E mini-series. But bears, Bears, BEARS! Big bears, small bears, old bears, young bears, good bears, and naughty bears. I've only listed as FEW of the ones that popped out from a quick look at the credits. (It's especially fun if you insert bear subtext in the interactions between Gurth and Little John.) This mini-series blows away the 1952 Liz Taylor movie.

Review:
Based on the Greek myth and starring a cubby Todd Armstrong as Jason. The movie's better remembered for its cutting-edge special effects (for 1963 anyway) than its acting. But there's plenty of Greek eye candy.

| |
|
Review:
This is a really good movie that doesn't take itself seriously and is a wonderful homage to b- movies. I think anybody who has enjoyed Jaws and Piranha will love this film. The best bits for me are the insults and threats shared between the two bears in the movie, Brendan Gleeson (Braveheart) and Oliver Platt (Three Musketeers). Plus there is a wonderful scene where Brendon Gleeson is wandering about the woods in his underpants, yum.

Featured Bears: James Gandolfini |
| |
|
Review:
The plot revolves around various hoods and gangsters chasing after a priceless antique pistol called "The Mexican". Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts star as a neer-do-well hood and his whiny girlfriend. Gandolfini's character, a reserved but determined hitman who kidnaps Roberts as ransom for the gun, provides a welcome respite from the self-absorbed boorishness of the main characters. Gandolfini is a bear's wet dream and the best thing about this film: stocky, goateed, nice eyes, cuddly smile -- breathtakingly handsome. Overall it's not a great movie -- the ending is a big let-down -- but good enough for a Friday night rental.

|
Review:
#11 in the James Bond movie series, starring Roger Moore. A bearded, roly-poly Michel Lonsdale plays Hugo Drax, a super-wealthy industrialist who might have come off as adorable if he wasn't the head badguy. At least we can be pretty sure his character isn't `family' - no gay man would be caught dead in those awful gray Mao Zedong suits.

Review:
The 13th James Bond movie, starring Roger Moore. Kamir Bedi, tall and fetching in his Indian turban and jet-black beard, plays the second-in- command to the bad guy. At one point, he crushes a pair of dice into dust using his bare hands. This stern daddybear is great fantasy material. And there's plenty of eye candy amongst the many hirsute Indian extras.

Bears in space! Another of those rare movies where all the actors in leading roles sport beards. Here's hoping this is what the future holds in store for us.

Raising Heroes should be in every bear's video collection because Henry White is beautiful. And come on, a gay bear couple taking down the mob. WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED!!!

Featured Bears: Nick Brimble Michael McShane Brian Blessed Sean Connery |
| |
|
Review:
Dreadful movie, dreadful leading actor, dreadful theme song, but if you can get past these obstacles there's plenty here for the bear lover in the forms of Nick Brimble as Little John and Michael McShane as Friar Tuck, and an abundance of Robin's men are also admirably hirsute. Of special interest to lovers of daddy bears are the opening and closing segments of the movie. The first scenes in England feature burly Brian Blessed as Robin's father, whilst the closing moments feature a cameo from Sean Connery as King Richard (wearing a suspiciously false looking goatee). Alan Rickman's manicured dye job which passes for a beard doesn't really cut the bear mustard though!

Kline, Cleese and Dennehy all sport beards. (I think Danny Glover might too). Lots of other eye candy. Fun movie - not a comedy but several light moments.

Review:
Featuring Oliver Ford Davies as Sio Bibble, the cute daddybear governor of planet Naboo; Liam Neeson as a lightly-bearded and overly-serious Jedi master; Ewan Macgregor as a young, puckish Obi-Wan; Ray Park as Darth Maul in some jaw-dropping saber fighting scenes; and Natalie Portman's Queen Amidala, whose wardrobe will turn any drag queen green with envy.

Review:
Why is it that the bears always have to die in the movies? Midway through "Star Wars," Alex Guiness gets acquainted with the business end of Darth Vader's lightsaber. Then during the assault on the Death Star, Lucas teases us with the sudden appearance of a very cute chubby bear named Jek Porkins (William Hootkins) as the pilot of Red #6. Almost as soon as he appears on the screen, he's shot out of the sky by a laser cannon. *sigh* Even the not-quite-bears get killed, such as Luke's old friend, the cute, mustached Biggs Darklighter (Garrick Hagon).

Review:
Platt plays Porthos, Sutherland, Athos, and Sheen, Aramis, all with beards. Tim Curry is Richelieu. If you're looking for a faithful adaption of Dumas' book, this is not the movie, but it is entertaining.

Review:
A submarine drama set in WWII that owes more than a little to the classic "Das Boot". Stunning visuals and incredible sound-- hook up the stereo speakers for this one. As for bear content, the opening scenes are chock full of woofy Germans. Alas, the movie's focus soon shifts to the clean-shaven U.S. Navy boys and stays there for most of the film. The bearded, wily German sub captain (Kretschmann) sticks around to provide the occasional bit of bear eye candy, as does Harvey Keitel as a grizzly mustached Navy man. There's also a clean-shaven but barrel-chested David Keith as a Marine major assigned to help with their mission.

"ER"'s Abraham Benrubi has a small part as a biker who gets to manhandle Sean Penn. Pop Quiz: If a 6'7", 300+lb. biker is pointing a gun at you and demanding your money, what do you do? (Hint: It's not what Sean did.....)

Featured Bears: Abraham Benrubi |
| |
|
Review:
This is a better-than-usual B-grade film about two L. A.(?) cops who decide to hold up an arms dealer, but end up accidentally killing him-- only to find out that he was actually an undercover ATF agent. Abraham Benrubi plays the part of Geoff Carmichael, a somewhat trigger-happy ATF agent who wants to see his comrade's killers brought to justice--preferrably his form of it. Although he's not a very high-profile (but easily recognizable) actor, Benrubi certainly could've done worse. (I mean, what about "U- Turn"? Well, at least he got himself cut out of "The Postman.")

Review:
ZULU is a classic of the genre and sports some of the best face fungus on the big screen, along with THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE. Where as the latter takes forever to get to the action, ZULU is action-packed from almost the start. Nigel Green, especially, is magnificent as the Sergeant who keeps everything together, much more than the officers played by Caine and Baker who spend a lot of the time sniping at each other. This is, of course, the movie that set Caine off on his international career, as he was originally down for the role of Hook, the Cockney wide-boy. Caine has only sported a beard or moustache in two films, THE HONORARY COUNSEL (good role, crap movie) and EDUCATING RITA (full beard, Julie Walters) which is a same as he gives Gene Hackman a run for his money. Some very subtle homoerotic moments too, especially between Glynn Edwards and the younger soldier. There are practically no women in the whole movie and no gooey love story to slow down the action. Not as realistic as one might have imagined but for its day quite authentic, plus has numerous fans ranging from Billy Bragg, the English socialist bard, and Nicholas Soames, one-time Tory cabinet minister and friend of Prince Charles. Wish I could add more but it is a while since I have seen it but there are more details I believe on the International Movie Database which give me you a fuller cast list.
