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. He's huge, boys!!!

Review:
Edge-of-your-seat action/suspense movie set underneath the Atlantic during World War II. The opening scenes take place on a sub full of swarthy, bearded German sailors. Alas, the rest of the movie focuses on the heroic but hopelessly clean-shaven American navy boys. Their mission: steal a device that encrypts the Germans' communications, and prevent the Allies from losing the sea war. Fortunately the woofy and rather clever German captain (Thomas Kretschmann) gets plenty of screen time. Excellent visuals and sound. When the sub is bombarded by dozens of depth charges, you'll feel your seat shake.

The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas

Review:
Mark Addy wowed many bear lovers with his loveable lug character in The Full Monty. This time he returns to the big screen as Fred Flintstone in the second live-action Flintstones movie. (The first one featured another bearish fellow, John Goodman). Dynasty fans won't want to miss Joan Collins as Wilma's mother.
