Miracle (Widescreen Edition) (2004)

Miracle (Widescreen Edition)

"...Filled with exhilarating nonstop hockey action and heart-racing suspense, it's the inspiring true story behind one of the greatest moments in sports history — the 1980 United States ice hockey team's triumphant Olympic victory against the Soviet Union. Kurt Russell gives a brilliant performance as the dynamic and determined coach Herb Brooks, who had an impossible dream -- beat the seemingly unbeatable Soviets at their own game. Starting with a handpicked group of 26 undisciplined kids, Brooks coached them to play like they never played before, and turned 20 of them into a team that believed they could achieve the unachievable -- and in the process, united a nation with a new feeling of hope."

Baseball - A Film By Ken Burns


What a great gift idea for the guy into baseball. Appropriate for anytime of the year, but seemingly fitting now as we are in the heart of the baseball season.

From Ken Burns, well known for his work on other historical documentaries, "Baseball" offers an epic of American history. Told in "nine innings" with narration by John Chancellor and the voices of Paul Newman, Jason Robards, Billy Crystal, and other stars, the series covers 150 years. It starts with the myth debunking tale of baseball's true beginnings, followed by the growth of America's National Pastime. Through the decades of glory and record-setting achievements, as well as the scandals, the bigotry, and the big money. The series portrays the game as a mirror of America itself.

Classic TV Shows


Joe over at 70s-child, recently posted on some 70s style carpeting with a photo showing Rhoda when she was on the Mary Tyler Moore Show (click here>> for the post). Rhoda happened to be sitting on the 70s style carpet.

These shows represent the classic television of the 70s and having them to watch now would make a great gift idea.

Check out "Rhoda: Season One" @ Amazon.com.

Entertainment on the Go


Yesterday, I had to take my car in for service and inspection. Where I take it is just far enough away, and the time it was going to take was just short enough, that I decided to wait for the service to be done.

So, I decided to take along the iPod Touch I received as a gift recently and relax and watch a movie:
Step Brothers (Single-Disc Unrated Edition)

I have to say the time went by very quickly, and I got to enjoy a movie I otherwise probably wouldn't have had the time to watch around the house. I could have also easily switched over to some of the music or games we have saved on the iPod and enjoyed those as well.

So, here's a cool gift idea for him, an iPod Touch, to give him something to do while he's waiting, handheld entertainment on the go. Product details:

Guy's Guide to the Red Carpet


Well the Annual Academy Awards were on last night and unfortunately I wasn't able to catch much of it. Also unfortunately, I can't say I am too familiar with many of this year's nominations. That's probably been the case now for a few years. We just can't seem to make it to the movie theaters very often, and I tell myself I'll try and catch some of these films on DVD after they are released, but that never seems to happen either. I usually try to look for the good side of things and at least I am building a nice inventory of films to watch when life does slow down - I do enjoy watching a good movie.

In some regards, I like watching movies at home. There's no crowd, the snacks are cheaper, the walk to the bathroom is shorter, and your allowed to drink beer while watching the movie. Although there are certainly benefits to catching on the big screen, for example: the big screen, less likely to be interrupted, going out is more festive, you can always get dinner and drinks before or after the movie.

Well whatever your preference, home or movie theater, here are links to a few guy movies that I have always enjoyed and seem to be able to watch again and again (listed in no particular order):

Wedding Crashers - Unrated (Widescreen New Line Platinum Series)

Caddyshack

Stripes (Unrated Extended Cut)

Old School (Unrated) [HD DVD]

GoodFellas (Two-Disc Special Edition)
