We've all done it. You're sitting there at work trying desperately to check your e-mail and not be bothered by your co-workers, but then it happens. "Did you guys see the game last night?," one downtrodden employee remarks. "Hell ya!" says another. "Dude, that shot at the end of the game was like the most amazing shot in NBA history man..." exaggerates the first. "Nah man, it was good, but I think that game back in '90 when Jordan elevated to the rim, THAT was the greatest..." retorts the other. And thus it has begun...another never-ending discussion of the greatest, fastest, shortest, quickest, sickest of whatever sport is in question. Well, this DVD hopes to end those talks once and for all as they relate to the NBA.

NBA's Top 10 Greatest looks at ten different categories and picks the greatest player/moment/move/etc. of each category. "But Scott, this...Read the entire review

I rolled over this morning and let out the typical morning sigh...another day, another dollar. Thankfully, my girlfriend Heidi Klum was there to comfort me. "It vill be alright, honey" she said in that reassuring German way that only the one who loves you more than life itself can express. Everyone thinks that this woman, the woman who defines perfection and beauty, has given birth to Seal's baby, was married to some old French guy, is washed up...but no, she's secretly been living and loving me for long these past 15 years. Well...that's how I see it anyway.

In reality (*sobs*) Heidi is currently glowing in the admiration of her series Project Runway and all the fantastic press it has brought her and the Bravo network. Project is a reality show hosted by (and shamelessly starring) the gorgeous Heidi Klum. The goal is to find the next great fashion designer, allow them to sho...Read the entire review

For my second Warren Miller box set review, I got to sit down and watch three snow-skiing films in the middle of the summer...in South Carolina...with 90-degree heat outside my door...perfect. Nothing makes you forget about your ever-running air conditioner like 6 hours of footage mainly consisting of snow and cold. Don't get me wrong though, it's not as if I'm complaining...'cause I'm not. I think I'm exactly the kind of fan that Warren Miller is targeting; the fan with an undying love for skiing.

Warren Miller has scratched people like me where we itch with his latest box set release Warren Miller's Rider's Collection. This 3 disc set is chock full of the same type of quality winter riding action we've all come to expect from the seasoned film maker. He brings seven decades of filming experience to the table to give the viewer a variety of footage all ...Read the entire review

If you are anything like me, you are currently wrapped up in the annual tradition we call March Madness. Entire weekends are lost, girlfriends put on hold, and families scorned for the opportunity to watch hours and hours of college basketball. Keeping this annual mecca to the television in mind, Paramount has decided that now would be a good time to release a college-basketball-focused classic to its faithful DVD viewers. Thus we have the 1994 cinemeatic gem, Blue Chips.

Now, when you think of a good wholesome movie about the journey of a few high school players to the ranks of the college elite, what cast comes to mind? Lebron and Kobe as players? Maybe Bobby Knight in the role of the coach? Of course not! You should be thinking of Shaq, Penny Hardaway and Nick Nolte! I challenge you to find a better cast anywhere in America! Throw in J.T. Wals...Read the entire review

I started skiing when I was 5 years old. It began innocently enough in the mountains of North Carolina at a resort named Ski Beech. Admittedly, I used to actually hate the family ski trips, and for the first couple years I did everything I could to have a miserable time on them, in hopes that it would convince my Dad to stop dragging us out into the cold 4 or 5 times every winter. That was 1984.

I'll be going to Salt Lake City on business in two weeks. I've got my computer, my suit...and my skis.

People with this kind of love for the sport of skiing are the exact audience being targeted with Warren Miller: Journey Through the Decades. This 4 disc set is jam packed with some of the best footage ever filmed in Warren Miller's 7 decades as a skiing film maker. The title of the set is rather appropriate considering that two of the films are from the 80...Read the entire review

Mikan, Baylor, West, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, O'Neal and Bryant. These names have one thing in common; they've all worn the purple and gold of the tradition-steeped Los Angeles Lakers. Oh, and they are all featured on the FIVE DISC retrospective of said tradition-filled franchise entitled Los Angeles Lakers: The Complete History.

Some might say that this set is a "must have" for all Lakers enthusiasts. I disagree. This is a "must have" for all NBA fans in general. This is without a doubt the most comprehensive DVD set currently available following one franchise from the early days through the current dynasty. The reason all NBA fans must own this is that as the Lakers franchise ebbs so does the League.

Chock full of extras, this set honestly gives you more information than you could have ever anticipated seeing about one sports t...Read the entire review

Have you ever watched the Iditarod on USA? Ever watched Animal Planet or the Travel Channel and been amazed by the dog shows on some sunny lawn in northern California? Are you put in a trance when you watch the Great Outdoor Games and see the skills those athletic leaping dogs have (how do they get them to weave in between those sticks anyway)? Well, if you answered "yes" to any one of those questions, then you should pick up this DVD release of the 2004 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

This is the 128th edition of this event and, as the commentators proudly boast, it's the longest running sporting event aside from the Kentucky Derby. As for my background, I started watching the Westminster Kennel Club Dog show about 9 years ago, and since that time, I find myself looking forward to the pre-Valentine's Day event much more than Valentine's Day itself...much more than several other major spor...Read the entire review
