I'm not a racing fan, in fact I can't stand racing because of the idol worship that goes on in my family for Dale Earnhardt & Dale Earnhardt Jr. So in away I was forced to watch this movie, because every set in the house was set for ESPN. I was surprised I like the movie not because of the racing but because it showed the human side of a racer. It showed his faults and his strengths and it showed he was human. Whether the stories were true or false or embellished it didn't matter because the story was good and the acting fantastic. I think if you spent all of your time looking for what wasn't there or what wasn't told you missed a very well done film. I'm sure due to copyright laws and trademarks, the movie producers had to cheat a little in order to get the point across without breaking any laws, and I understand some of the racetracks were already in use when filming began so they used what they could. So I spent two hours watching 3 for what it was a movie that depicted a legend in racing. It wasn't a documentary, it was a 90 minute movie that highlighted some of the high points in a mans life and career and some of the low points. Did it entertain, yes, and thats what really counts.

I thought the show was awesome. The ensemble cast, fantastic. A pilot is what it is and that is to sell the show. Now that the pilot is out of the way I am looking forward to more character discovery and the intrigue that we were promised. I'm betting that each new episode will be better then the last one.

Santa Clause 2 is a worthy sequel to the original one. Tim Allen has found his nitch with Santa Clause and the wonderful addition of Elizabeth Mitchell makes this movie an entertaining, heart warming Christmas movie. Why Hollywood is not using Ms. Mitchell more is a mystery. Tim Allen and Elizabeth Mitchell have a natural chemistry and it isn't a forced romance on screen. Tim Allen is naturally funny but he seems more comfortable in the Santa Suit this time. There were moments where my children did become restless but all in all I would have to give this movie two thumbs up and I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.
