Sidekicks


Submitted by Stephen G

From Wikipedia:

Sidekicks is a 1992 film about Barry Gabrewski, a child with asthma who has vivid hallucinations about being Chuck Norris’ sidekick, battling against Norris’ movie enemies – who are often personified by Barry’s school bullies. He lives with his widowed father, Jerry Gabrewski.

Barry is taught martial arts by an old Chinese man called Mr. Lee (Mako), the sly uncle of his teacher Ms. Noreen Chan (Julia Nickson-Soul), who always takes the role of the damsel in distress in Barry’s dreams. Mr. Lee decides to teach Barry some kung fu so that he can defend himself from the bullies. Barry later enters a tournament where he confronts his bullies and gets to fight alongside Chuck Norris after all.

The Wilderness Family


Submitted by Casey K

If you asked me, my only complaint about these films is that the dog always got a raw deal. In some form or fashion, these pesky kids would disturb animals in their natural habitat, then the poor canine would have to face a bear or something. The dog always gets jacked up while the kids come across scott free. Let them get scratched by big momma cougar, then maybe the little ones would leave baby cougar alone. I have all three of the Wilderness Family movies on DVD along with Across the Great Divide (the Ol’ West one where papa wilderness is a gambling drunk!). I now watch these with my five-year old daughter and think back to the days where it was okay to cut down a tree without demonstrators chained to them.

Spyro the Dragon


Submitted by Brooke W

The original trilogy had awesome music, great graphics for its time, and lots of awesome ideas. The new versions of the game just aren’t the same, and so I think we should honor the oldschool Spyro the dragon.

Lego M:Tron


Submitted by Scott “splatman” F

From Wikipedia:

In an effort to increase interactivity, Lego introduced magnets in the next Space theme, M:Tron, who took over the “civilian” role of the Futuron race. Vehicles in this set, distinctive for their red hulls, gray trim and neon-green canopies, are devoted primarily to mining out precious ores. They often featured crane-like attachments with magnets for picking up small cargo and storage boxes. These boxes, unfortunately, were generally not interchangeable. The figures wore white trousers, a red shirt with an “M” logo in the middle, and a black helmet with glowing green visor.

Popular M:Tron vehicles include Stellar Recon Voyager and Mega Core Magnetizer (both 1990).

M:Tron was the first major Space theme that did not include a base of any kind; all sets were vehicles. M:Tron was also the last space theme to carry the Legoland banner. Lego System was the name used starting in 1992.

Unlike previous themed Space series, the M:Tron sets did not look like they were made for fighting, either for good or evil. Note also that the British names for sets, while not as flashy and extreme sounding as their American equivalents, give a clear picture of vehicles meant for rescue and research.

Picket Fences


Submitted by Delbert V

From Wikipedia:

Picket Fences is a 60-minute American television drama centered on the residents of the fictional community of Rome, Wisconsin. The show initially ran from September 1, 1992, to June 26, 1996, on the CBS television network in the United States. Picket Fences was created by producer David E. Kelley. The show sometimes struggled to maintain a stable prime-time audience and had fluctuating ratings. In its first season on the air it placed 80th in the prime-time Nielsen ratings and in its second season it moved to 66th. The show’s exteriors were shot in Monrovia, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, with many of the townspeople appearing in the background of episodes where possible.

Tequila Sunrise


Submitted by Mary R

From Wikipedia:

Tequila Sunrise (1988) is an American crime thriller film written and directed by Robert Towne, and starring Mel Gibson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, with support from Raúl Juliá, J.T. Walsh, Arliss Howard and Gabriel Damon.
The film, only the second (after Personal Best) to be both written and directed by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Robert Towne, was commercially successful, making over $100 million at the box office worldwide, but critical reception was mixed. One author was of the opinion that, “perhaps because the elements were so irresistible – Robert Towne directing Gibson, Russell and Pfeiffer in a California crime film – an aura of disappointment settled over Tequila Sunrise, no matter how engaging, and profitable, it turned out to be.”
