Sensual Sensations
Released in VHS Tape by es‘ (01 June, 2000)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Big Daddy G.
Average review score:

Nudity with Class!
Great Dance Tracks, and Great Ladies. Video features Cinemax Adult Star Shannon Leigh in all her glory, as well as Dina Marie Vannoni (Spice Channel), and Molly Steele from the Playboy Channel (finally get to see all of her). 58 minutes of non-stop dancing and music, with a touch of class that even turned my wife on! Worth the money! I was also shocked when I saw the model from the cover of Pacific Care Health naked in Sensual Sensations!

Non Stop Music and Beautiful Photography
My girlfriend bought me this video for my Birthday. She knows I like Reggae Music. She also knows I like sexy women (especially since she is very sexy). I have seen Roxanne Hill all over the internet (you can see every part of her), but she looked absolutely gorgeous and very sexy in this video. Molly Steele, and Caroline (Joanne Singapore), were a complete turn on when they undressed each other, and my girlfriend went crazy. If your relationship is starting to get a bit boring, and you want to turn your girlfriend on without porno, this is it!

Roxanne Hill, Shannon Leigh and Dina Marie Vannoni Together!
First time I have ever seen 3 top Porn babes in a truly Adult Artistic endeavor. Hot, hot, hot! Great tunes, great babes. I wish they would release it on DVD! VHS is cool, but looses some of the detailed "eye candy". Come on raggaforce.com, release it on DVD, you will have one guaranteed sale for sure!


A Night at the Roxbury
Released in VHS Tape by Paramount Studio (21 May, 2002)
MPAA Rating: PG-13 (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Director: John Fortenberry
Starring: Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell
Expanding their one-joke skit from television's Saturday Night Live, Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell are Doug and Steve Butabi, the wearers of the rayon suits and Speedo trunks who bob their heads in unison to dance music while unsuccessfully preying on women in clubs. What's funny in a three-minute piece doesn't always get funnier by expansion, but Kattan and Ferrell give it a go with fellow SNL member Molly Shannon as their ambitious neighbor. By day they work in their father's fake-plant store. By night they prowl the club scene after spraying on the cologne in their gauchely decorated bedroom. A fender-bender with Richard Grieco (playing himself) gets them into the popular club the Roxbury, but it's not all good news, as the brothers soon find themselves torn apart. Doug and Steve are pathetic but lovable, mostly due to the actors' talents for self-deprecating humor. All gifted comedians, Kattan, Ferrell, and Shannon obviously feel comfortable around each other, and their love triangle (which prompts send-ups of Say Anything and Jerry Maguire) is the funniest joke in this mostly lame comedy. Too bad, because it clocks in at about 80 minutes and could have run on television as a pretty good episode of SNL, which has been known to get a bit lame itself. --Shannon Gee
Average review score:

Great look, sound, vibe.
This movie just plain makes you feel good. It has excellent, upbeat music, very bright colors, and good hearted, LA slick and easy characters. In short, mindless fun that looks great, moves fast, and keeps your toes tapping. Like the first Austin Powers, this movie has a lovable tone from beginning to end and works great as video and aural wallpaper. While you're choring or reading the paper, lighten up to the music and glance at the screen to get a dose of color and fun.

In my opinion, Will Ferrell is very underrated right now. He's got the super-friendly look of the guy that everybody likes but deep back he has some dark reservoir that either boils just below the surface or erupts in a burst. I think his immense likability allows him to go dark and get laughs where other actors might just seem offensive. This is mostly seen on certain SNL skits and "Dick" (where his quick "slowburn" is more classic than Ted Knight's). In Roxbury he is likeable throughout, but a slight glimmer of knowingness seems to filter through the character. He almost seems to be making fun of stupid movies by being stupid and winking at us.

Funny,sweet and with awesome dance sequences
Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan "ROX". (I know...an old joke!). Having never seen the "Roxbury Guys" sketch on SNL, I wasn't sure what to expect. I own the soundtrack and love all the music on it, but when it actually came to the movie, I was pleasantly surprised. My brother thought it was stupid but for rainy day, sit at home watching videos,leave your brain elsewhere entertainment....I highly recommend it. My favourite scenes involved Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon....but the whole movie was excellent especially the dance sequences at the club!!

Do yourself a favour....go rent it today!!

Men with Brooms
Released in VHS Tape by Artisan (Fox Video) (29 October, 2002)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Paul Gross
Starring: Paul Gross and Leslie Nielsen
Call it The Full Monty on ice. With tongue firmly in cheek, director-writer-star Paul Gross applies the old underdog sports-team formula to that great Northern obsession: curling. (You thought hockey was the national obsession? So did Canada.) You know the score: estranged teammates reunite to fulfill a dead man's last request, win glory for their fictional hometown, and earn back their hibernating self-respect. Square-jawed Gross recalls his Due South days as the amiable team captain, a boy scout with an impish streak. Leslie Nielsen turns down the usual goofball shtick to play Gross's crotchety, self-medicating father. There are enough issues here to fuel a dozen movies and none of them packs the punch of a pint of Molson's beer, which is just the right tone for this off-center sports spoof, a story of little victories, big stones, and beavers on the move. --Sean Axmaker
Average review score:

You Don't Have to Understand Curling to Love This Movie
I went to see this movie at the theater because I am a Paul Gross (the mountie in Due South) fan. I knew almost nothing about the sport of curling and still I loved this movie. It's funny, it's romantic; it's got action and angst and humor and a great story.
Gross plays Chris Cutter, a guy who returns home 10 years after he walked out on his fellow curling teammates during a championship. He comes back for the coach's funeral. When the will is read, the coach asks the teammates to get together again and go for the golden broom (the most pretigious curling trophy in Canada).
They all hem and haw, but decide to try. Their first match, against a group of octogenerians, is a disaster. So it's off to train in a hilarious sequence of events.
Along the way, there is lots of angst between Paul and his former fiance (Michelle Nolden), whom he never said good-bye to when he left. There is also the fiance's baby sister (wonderfully portrayed by Molly Parker) who has always had a thing for Paul and still does. More angst. Yum.
Paul's teammates are quite a group. Peter Outerbridge is charming and funny as the gang's womanizer who can't remember the names of women he sleeps with. Jed Rees is adorable as a loving, but frustratingly infertile husband. James Allodi is the down on his luck guy who must choose between curling and his wife, who aspires to high society. A wonderful group of people, who we come to care for.
Paul Gross wrote the screenplay and directed it. He does a great job. Buy it! You won't be sorry.

Canadians will love this movie. Americans? OK, I guess so.
I am a fan of the great series "Due South" and its star Paul Gross. So, I snatched up this film when I discovered that Gross and regular "Due South" guest star Leslie Nielson starred in it.

I liked it. I really did. Gross is likable, as is the rest of the cast. I always love Nielson, and he does well in this film.

But I couldn't help thinking that I was missing out on a lot of the jokes. There was a lot of humor or references that I suspect that only Canadians would appreciate. Not that I didn't enjoy this film--I certainly did. It was sweet and quirky. And even though I had no clue about this game with brooms that they were playing, I grasped enough to root for them. But that feeling of, "I'm think I'm missing something here" was in the back of my mind a lot of the time.

Oh well, I still recommend this film. Especially if you are a Paul Gross or Leslie Nielson fan.

Watch it for a few brilliantly inpired details!
The events commentator for the Golden Broom bonspiel in "Men With Brooms" is priceless. It rates right up there with the Mike Meyers turn as the hockey color commentator who has taken a few too many pucks to the head in "Mystery, Alaska" and Fred Willard as the dropped-on-his-head-at-birth dog show color commentator in "Best of Show."

For curling fans, what Lennox does with a bottle of hooch, a match, a curling stone and a metaphor is a pretty beautiful setup.

The notion of a curling star from Butte complete with groupies, cheerleaders and an entourage is just too funny for words.

The drunken ruminations of the main characters as they sit oblivious as great huge cauldrons empty out behind them is a sight to behold.

Tremendous movie, great fun, Highly recommended!


American Pie 2 (R Rated Edition)
Released in VHS Tape by Umvd (15 January, 2002)
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Director: James B. Rogers (II)
Starring: Jason Biggs and Seann William Scott
To the horror of prudes everywhere, American Pie 2 is even funnier than its popular predecessor, pushing the R rating with such unabashed ribaldry that you'll either be appalled or surprised by its defiant celebration of the young-adult male libido. Females will be equally shocked or delighted, because like American Pie this appealing, character-based comedy puts the women in control while offering a front-row view of horny guys in all their dubious glory. Which is to say, American Pie is mostly about sex--or, to be more specific, breasts, genitalia, "potential" lesbianism, blue silicone sex toys, crude methods of seduction, "the rule of three" (just watch the movie), a shower of "champagne," phone sex, tantric sex, and, oh yeah... superglue.

In the case of college freshman Jim (Jason Biggs), performance anxiety plagues his upcoming reunion with sexy Czech exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth), but his buddies from American Pie have a solution: rent a Lake Michigan beach house for the summer, throw wild parties to lure the local "hotties," and score big-time. Beach Party this ain't: blessed with a complete cast reunion from AP1 (including Eugene Levy as Jim's dad), this sequel is anything but innocent, and with the exception of drugs (which are conspicuously absent), pretty much anything goes. The gags are almost nonstop, and director J.B. Rogers (recovering from his debut debacle Say It Isn't So) handles them with laudable precision, allowing his young cast (particularly Biggs, who epitomizes comedic good sportsmanship) to run with lines that most people wouldn't dare utter aloud. The result is a liberating and eminently good-natured comedy that needn't apologize for its one-track mind. --Jeff Shannon

Average review score:

American Pie 2 proves that sequels can be very good!
I love this Movie! American Pie 2 proves that sequels can be as good or better then the original film. It has the same jokes, the same gags, the same well written story like the first one. The guys Jim (Jason Biggs) Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) Oz (Chris Klein) and Finch( Eddie Kaye Thomas) are at another turning point in their lives. This time it is the summer after the freshman year of college. The guys rent a Malibu beach house where they can work summer jobs and party all the time! Shannon Elizabeth plays Nadia, Tara Reid plays Vicky, Natasha Lyonne plays Jessica, Menu Suvari plays Heather. This Movie is a very good example what makes a sequel good! The story is well written! The chemisty between the cast is firm. It is a very sweet and touching movie like first American Pie. I reccomend it very much! If you like this film, Buy it! Highly Reccomended!

lots of fun
isnt quite as good as the 1st but better than the 3rd with more gross out gags, including some kissy scenes with Stifler and Jim, also when Stifler gets pissed on. anyway its lots of fun at the beach house and the cast are still lively as ever. Stifler's mom comes at the end and she comes in the end in the 3rd one as well.

Best Sequel Ever?
Quite possibly. As a sequel, a movie should never deviate from it's original formula, but still has to remain fresh, new, and cutting edge. American Pie 2 satisfies all standards for a perfect sequel. Other movies that attempted to follow the formula, but came up short include: Jurassic Park 2(a little girl using gymnastics to defeat dinosaurs? come on now), JP3 (if you paid to see it, you'd know), Scary Movie 2, Next Friday, and Austin Powers 2. The last three failed in casting the best people from the first movie. Scary movie- Lochlyn Monroe, Shannon Elizabeth, and Jon Abrahams (while casting Torri Spelling instead), sure these characters died in the original, but so did the Wayans Bros. Next Friday- without a doubt missed Chris Tuckers antics. AP2- No Elizabeth Hurley, while being replaced by Heather Graham who relies more on her looks than her acting. The genius of American Pie 2 is that every single character from the original came back to do the sequel (Even minute characters like The Sherminator and Jim's Mom). The first film captured the audience and made us feel for these characters. We laughed, cried, and were embarrassed with them. For a movie about "getting some" this was no easy task. Yet the original PIE pulled it off in spades. So naturally, a chance to find out what happened next to these lovable characters would be relished by fans of all ages. And AP2 delivers the goods. Remember what I said about the formula? This sequel had the exact same formula, yet remained fresh and funny. The opening scene where Jim gets caught..."pleasuring himself" has a parallel scene were Jim's parents surprise him at college while he's being intimate with a lady friend (Not giving anything away, everyone saw it in the preview). Stifler drinking the "Stale Ale" has a rival scene that was equally hilarious. Jim getting intimate with the apple pie has a parallel scene in which he glues himself....to himself (again, given away in the preview). The ever popular "Nadia scene" has an equally raunchy part in the middle involving lesbians. And the party at the end where everybody gets satisfied has a similar ending in the sequel including a surprise visit (don't want to spoil it for you). In saying this though, it still is fresh and different. Jim for instance actually visits band camp to get pointers on his lacking sexual performance from Michelle, his old flame that used him in the first film. She refreshingly has a larger role in the sequel. The gang also goes to a beach house for the summer and Fynch has an obsession with the ancient form of Tantra. So there are certainly different things to look for in this movie. I was tentative to see American Pie 2 because I held the original PIE on such a lofty pedistal. Also, I was really fired up to see Scary Movie 2, and it was average at best. But I assure you that AP2 is not just another horrible sequel that only serves the purpose of bringing down the original. If anything, it will make you love the original more. Best sequel ever? Absolutely. (*****)

American Pie - Rated Edition (Special Edition)
Released in VHS Tape by Universal Studios (07 January, 2003)
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Directors: Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz
Starring: Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, and Thomas Ian Nicholas
Anyone who's watched just about any teenage film knows that the greatest evil in this world isn't chemical warfare, ethnic cleansing, or even the nuclear bomb. The worst crime known to man? Why, virginity, of course. As we've learned from countless films--from Summer of '42 to Risky Business--virginity is a criminal burden that one must shed oneself of as quickly as possible. And while many of these films have given the topic a bad name, American Pie quietly sweeps in and gives sex some of its dignity back. Dignity, you may say? How can a film that highlights intercourse with fruit pies, premature ejaculation broadcasted across the Internet, and the gratuitous "gross-out" shots restore the dignity of a genre that's been encumbered with such heavyweights as Porky's and Losin' It? The plot may be typical, with four high school friends swearing to "score" by prom, yet the film rises above the muck with its superior cast, successful and sweet humor, and some actually rather retro values about the meaning and importance of sex. Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, and Eddie Kaye Thomas make up the odd quartet of pals determined to woo, lie, and beg their way to manhood. The young women they pursue are wary girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid), choir girl Heather (Mena Suvari), band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and just about any other female who is willing and able. Natasha Lyonne as Jessica, playing a similar role as in Slums of Beverly Hills, is the general adviser to the crowd (when Vicky tells her "I want it to be the right time, the right place," Jessica responds, "It's not a space shuttle launch, it's sex"). The comedic timing hits the mark--especially in the deliberately awkward scenes between Jim (Biggs) and his father (Eugene Levy). And, of course, lessons are learned in this genuinely funny film, which will probably please the adult crowd even more than it will the teenage one. --Jenny Brown
Average review score:

is this supposed to be a joke?
It is movies like American Pie that give americans a bad name
No F****** wonder the world thinks were just horney beer guzzling hormone charged robots.
This movie brainwashed high schoolers and preteens into thinking mindless sex and constant partying is just harmless and (reputation speaking) required in High school. Well, i watched my class mates follow the stupid antics that this movie depicts, and one got ran over by a car, and one got his girl friend pregnant(she was a freshman might i add)
These are the people who are going to run the country, I pray these people work in factories or go into the military, because if you let these kids go to college, $4,000 is going to go straight down the drain,
im not a hard core christian and i know its only a movie, but it did start a revolution of my generation, and it sucks

Here We Go Again.....
Yeah!!! Its ANOTHER teen movie. I was persuaded to go and see this film on the promise that it had something new and fresh to add to the genre. This was a lie. Jokes you can see coming from a mile off, Text book Farrelly brother gross-out, poor acting from the usual collection of potential teen stars, no plot, awful script and of course, sequels!!!
Why, what was the point?

Classic Comedy!
I like to review the film by itself and then the DVD...

Film - No one avoided this film like me. From what I had seen and heard about the film, it seemed that the writer and director took themselves way too seriously for a typical sex-filled teen comedy. Luckily, this film is not typical. The writing is crisp and the jokes are very funny. The characters reflect real teens (although they are all well-spoken and extremely pretty). The teen boys are neither jerks nor big softies (with the exception of Chris Klein's character). The girls are not naive, but also not entirely jaded. The acting is solid. The result is a film that is funny but that also can be taken as a look at kids today.

DVD - Awesome! Lots of special features, almost too many (soundtrack presentation?). The commentary is entertaining, and outtakes are always fun.

Released in VHS Tape by Universal Studios (16 May, 2000)
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Directors: Paul Weitz and Chris Weitz
Starring: Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, and Thomas Ian Nicholas
Anyone who's watched just about any teenage film knows that the greatest evil in this world isn't chemical warfare, ethnic cleansing, or even the nuclear bomb. The worst crime known to man? Why, virginity, of course. As we've learned from countless films--from Summer of '42 to Risky Business--virginity is a criminal burden that one must shed oneself of as quickly as possible. And while many of these films have given the topic a bad name, American Pie quietly sweeps in and gives sex some of its dignity back. Dignity, you may say? How can a film that highlights intercourse with fruit pies, premature ejaculation broadcasted across the Internet, and the gratuitous "gross-out" shots restore the dignity of a genre that's been encumbered with such heavyweights as Porky's and Losin' It? The plot may be typical, with four high school friends swearing to "score" by prom, yet the film rises above the muck with its superior cast, successful and sweet humor, and some actually rather retro values about the meaning and importance of sex. Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, and Eddie Kaye Thomas make up the odd quartet of pals determined to woo, lie, and beg their way to manhood. The young women they pursue are wary girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid), choir girl Heather (Mena Suvari), band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and just about any other female who is willing and able. Natasha Lyonne as Jessica, playing a similar role as in Slums of Beverly Hills, is the general adviser to the crowd (when Vicky tells her "I want it to be the right time, the right place," Jessica responds, "It's not a space shuttle launch, it's sex"). The comedic timing hits the mark--especially in the deliberately awkward scenes between Jim (Biggs) and his father (Eugene Levy). And, of course, lessons are learned in this genuinely funny film, which will probably please the adult crowd even more than it will the teenage one. --Jenny Brown
Average review score:

is this supposed to be a joke?
It is movies like American Pie that give americans a bad name
No F****** wonder the world thinks were just horney beer guzzling hormone charged robots.
This movie brainwashed high schoolers and preteens into thinking mindless sex and constant partying is just harmless and (reputation speaking) required in High school. Well, i watched my class mates follow the stupid antics that this movie depicts, and one got ran over by a car, and one got his girl friend pregnant(she was a freshman might i add)
These are the people who are going to run the country, I pray these people work in factories or go into the military, because if you let these kids go to college, $4,000 is going to go straight down the drain,
im not a hard core christian and i know its only a movie, but it did start a revolution of my generation, and it sucks

Here We Go Again.....
Yeah!!! Its ANOTHER teen movie. I was persuaded to go and see this film on the promise that it had something new and fresh to add to the genre. This was a lie. Jokes you can see coming from a mile off, Text book Farrelly brother gross-out, poor acting from the usual collection of potential teen stars, no plot, awful script and of course, sequels!!!
Why, what was the point?

Classic Comedy!
I like to review the film by itself and then the DVD...

Film - No one avoided this film like me. From what I had seen and heard about the film, it seemed that the writer and director took themselves way too seriously for a typical sex-filled teen comedy. Luckily, this film is not typical. The writing is crisp and the jokes are very funny. The characters reflect real teens (although they are all well-spoken and extremely pretty). The teen boys are neither jerks nor big softies (with the exception of Chris Klein's character). The girls are not naive, but also not entirely jaded. The acting is solid. The result is a film that is funny but that also can be taken as a look at kids today.

DVD - Awesome! Lots of special features, almost too many (soundtrack presentation?). The commentary is entertaining, and outtakes are always fun.
