Evel
Knievel (2005)
The life of daredevil motorbike
rider Evel Knievel is dramatized and brought to the screen by
director John Badham (WAR GAMES) with this TNT TV movie. CSI star
George Eads plays the intrepid and fearless Knievel, slipping into
the trademark red, white, and blue jumpsuit with consummate ease.
Some of his death-defying jumps are shown in all their glory,
while Knievel's private life is shown as a rags-to-riches story
which saw quite a few ups and downs due to his lust for partying.
Director Badham uses all his experience on major feature films
such as STAKEOUT and SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER to make this a cut above
the usual TV movie fare, while appearances from Jamie Pressly (NOT
ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE) and Beau Bridges (THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS)
helps flesh out the cast.

bomb squad and Tom Sizemore, as a volatile cop seeking revenge, to

Another Teen Movie (2001)

movies.

road alone in search of his folks. As his wandering, misguided
search takes him from one hilarious misadventure to another, Joe
finds his way to Los Angeles, where a shock-jock brings Joe on his
radio show to insult him. But as Joe's life story unfolds, jeers
turn to cheers, and an entire captivated city tunes in to hear the
adventures of Joe Dirt.
Tomcats
(2001)
From the opening animated title
sequence to the vulgarities at the film's climax, Gregory Poirer's
directing debut is an obnoxiously funny comedy with a sharp
romantic edge flowering beneath its T&A exterior. The plot
surrounds a "kitty" (double entendre intended), created
by a group of swinging pals determined to stave off marriage at
all costs, with the cash headed towards whoever stays single the
longest. Seven years later, only two of the friends remain single,
and the pot is up to a half million in cash. When one of the two
singles, Michael Delaney (Jerry O'Connell), runs afoul of the Las
Vegas gambling mafia on account of a big-breasted babe, he needs
that kitty cash desperately. Michael attempts to con his
competitor, Kyle Brenner (Jake Busey), into marrying the wildly
attractive policewoman Natalie (Shannon Elizabeth), who holds a
personal vendetta against Kyle. But the best laid plans begin to
run afoul when Natalie and Michael fall for each other instead.
Filled with totally gross sex gags, pot shots at other films, and
slapstick humor, TOMCATS is a humorous take on adult men who have
not outgrown their adolescent mentalities about love, sex, and
relationships.

mishaps during which they are threatened with jail.

them. They don't make the walls of a trailer as thick as they used
to. When Connie sets her trap and catches Rusty and Angel in the

'em.
