For Life Or Just A Few Years Of Glory – NWO: The Revolution Reviewed
In the late 1990′s wrestling was all the rage. And for the briefest moment in time, the rage was caused by World Championship Wrestling and their band of former World Wrestling Federation stars, the New World Order.
I remember describing the NWO to my girlfriend at the time as this – you have your good guys, your bad guys and then the EVEN worse guys. That’s the NWO.
And yes, that’s right. I was watching wrestling AND had a girlfriend.
The NWO helped WCW dominate the Monday night wrestling wars for a good two years, and nearly helped put the WWF out of business. However, poor planning and stoylines and complete mismanagement eventually led WWF to purchase their rival, and along with it, all the NWO footage and trademarks, which is now on display in the new Blu-Ray/DVD collection NWO: The Revolution. Check out the trailer below and then hit the jump to read our review.

Looking For An Epic Film? Confucius Says, Check Out Confucius
Is it me, or does North America cinema not really deal in epics anymore? And by epics, I mean films like Spartacus or Ben-Hur or Lawrence of Arabia; those larger than life films that take a main character (or characters) on an epic widescreen journey of adventure and/or self-discovery. I’m wracking my brain trying to think of any (leave a comment at the bottom if you can, would you?)
Maybe that’s why watching the Hong Kong film Confucius felt so fresh to me.
