Y2K: Year to Kill (1999)
Rock on!
It has been some years since I watched Y2K: Year to Kill. But I will say, through the jumping of scenes and the manifestation of characters, it was a bold movie that was quite awesome. I actually went to school with Y2K actor, and as we watched this, the comedic-attitude of the guy washed away on the big screen and it captivated all of us who were watching it. Maybe I am bias, but that's what reviewing movies is all about. There are some who would rather just sit back and watch the movie on the screen, without every thinking "what if?" I for one, was happy I watched it, and being able to talk with an actor in the movie, it was an uplifting experience. Hopefully others will want an opportunity to watch this movie ... not because I say it's good or not ... but because they want the thrill of Y2K: Year to Kill.
The Chiefs (2004)
Nothing better
This documentary was a shocking, back-stage sight at the world of professional hockey enforcers. The horrific fighting scenes, as brutal as they could be, were nothing compared to the human emotion that followed as you get to see first-hand the players' living conditions, their self-pride, their sacrifice and the pressure of performing at that level on a consistent basis. You see the daily fights that Mike, Cory and Tim must go through send a message to viewers that their never-give-up attitude is what hockey is all about. Unfortunately, this may not be the last movie about hockey enforcers, since the "new" way to play is so focused on speed and defense, these are the guys that are being left behind. The guys that will drop the gloves to have that edge. This truly is a must see movie for all true-blue hockey fans. Never before has a documentary captured such greatness - especially when it comes to hockey. I only wish I lived in Laval.
