    Just watched one called Survival Quest. Not bad at all for 1989. Reminded me of Cody Lundin vs. Dave Canterbury.

    Hunt To Kill

    Action movie that takes place in the forrests near the Canadian border. Some stuff is overdone, but I liked it. Starring Steve Austin.

    Espically if you are going to do everything wrong that can be done wrong!

    I could not watch The Road a second time, even free on cable. I kept trying to FF to the good parts and realized.....there were no good parts!

    Very few catch the theme of that movie. It is in the last scene and no one catches it.

    When the rescue family arrives and the man and boy are talking. The man tellS the kid that he has to make a decision to go with them or set off on his own.

    and

    If he sets off on his own he absolutely must... STAY OFF THE ROADS!

    My take away was different. (not literal)
    To me, the ends scene represented faith against all odds, and a glimmer of light in a dark, desperate world.

    I've got the question the logic of removing links to torrent trackers which index infringed copyrighted material but leaving youtube links to infringed copyrighted material.

    Unlike torrent agregators, Youtube is actually violating copyright law as well as the uploader and downloaders/viewers.

    Hey what's the state tree of Georgia?

    The one Ned Beatty is tied to.

    That's right, Deliverance.

    I shocked that Legends Of The Fall wasn't mentioned.

    I thought Defiance was very good. It showed some of the difficulties a large group might have.

    The best I have ever seen is "Snow Walker," with Barry Pepper and a Native American AK Inuit girl Annabella Piugattuk.

    All the Jean Auel books (Clan of the Cave Bear, Valley of the Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, The Plains of Passage and Shelters of Stone) are very good. The move was....ok. The author did EXTENSIVE anthropological research for the books. Lots of good information on wild edibles, primitive food preparation, fire making, tanning hides and lots of other things. She does tend to be a bit wordy in describing things but I highly recommend her books.

    they are excellent books, but what the movie has over then is a gracefull lack of a lot of needless, flowery sex scenes written in a romance novel style which usually seem forces and out of place but still take up 5-10 out of every 50 pages.

    I'm in the middle of watching To Brave Alaska. It's a 90s flick, and a dramatization of a true story about a couple named Roger Lewis and Denise Harris. Not too bad. They sure make a point to make the glaring mistakes the characters make stand out. I wonder if either of them ever worked out a book.
