“The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior” a Decent Journey

The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior
Universal Pictures
Starring Randy Couture, Michael Copon, Karen David, and Simon Quarterman
Rated PG-13 for violence and sexual content including references
109 minutes

In the grand tradition of the WWE delivering acting talents like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, John Cena, Kane, and Chyna, The Scorpion King 2 brings us the acting debut of the UFC’s Randy Couture. Okay, okay. So Couture isn’t the greatest actor on the planet, but since we are talking about a movie that is the prequel to The Scorpion King that starred Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, it works out quite well. And, I don’t normally say this, Continue reading ““The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior” a Decent Journey”

The Scorpion King (2002)
Universal Pictures
Starring: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kelly Hu, and Michael Clarke Duncan
Rated PG-13 for action, sensuality, and peril (why not, it’s as ridiculous as rating something based on smoking)
92 minutes

You’ve got to hand it to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, he’s had a pretty successful film career that has been compared to that of Sylvester Stallone’s and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s.

Millennium
20th Century Fox
1996-1999
Three Season; available now on DVD
2881 minutes

For those who are X-Files fans, and even those who aren’t, Millennium is a worthwhile series that delves into the dark side of human nature and the supernatural.

Tiny Toon Adventures a Blast from the Past

Tiny Toon Adventures Season One, Volume One
Warner Bros. Family Entertainment
Runtime: 767 minutes (four DVDs)

The Looney Cast of \

I love cartoons. Always have, always will. I can still watch Inspector Gadget, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original series), Disney’s TaleSpin, and Darkwing Duck, and the two other well-known Steven Spielberg Presents cartoon series Animaniacs and Freakazoid. I’m old enough to have watched Tiny Toon Adventures when it was first on TV back in the early 90s. It was funny, amusing, and entertaining when I was younger, and still has its moments today.
