Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
mktylernola Season 1 of this show was fantastic. The premise is simple enough - Richard had to learn how to use massive, sometimes dangerous, equipment, giving himself only 3 days for each lesson. Beginning with an Abrams tank, through logging, demolition, salvage, and my personal favorite, a massive Striker fire truck at the Dallas airport, Richard mastered almost everything. Even when he didn't quite get the hang of everything, his unbridled enthusiasm made if fun and exciting to watch. I would highly recommend, if you haven't seen it yet, to watch it whenever you can. Hopefully it'll be released on DVD soon. And from what I've seen and read, Season 2 looks like it'll be even more exciting. Learning to be a stuntman, he was set on fire, jumped off a bridge, got thrown through a window, and flipped a car. Wow. I can't wait.
