Do WHATEVER you have to do!” Bravo enlists a young movie crew to follow them into the remote backwoods of the Great Bear Mountains by telling them “There’s no money, but when we sell this, you’ll all get a big piece of the profits for your efforts… and great craft service!” Various ‘B’ movie actors, including stuntman BURT (Edward Hendershott), and his gorgeous wannabe actress girlfriend, ASHLEY (Linda Bella), join them as Jayson has promised her a role in the movie. After a series of ‘behind-the-scenes’ interviews of this quirky bunch, they begin filming.

No matter what age you are Mill Creek Entertainment has a movie for you and all movie buffs out there. I recently reviewed two TV complete Seasons on DVD the first one was The Cosby Show Seasons 1&2 I have to admit I was a child when these came out but I do remember watching them and how funny they were. We all know Cliff and Claire Huxtable and the kids. These contain 40 episodes in the first two seasons that held the #1 spot for five years in a row. The next DVD I got was Bewitched Seasons 1&2 which is about Samantha Stephens, a pretty, typical America housewife who just happens to be a witch in this beloved comedy classic. There are 6 discs and over 31 hours of episodes again I saw these as a teen as it was during a time of my parents.
My Opinion: I really enjoyed all these episodes and watching them with my parents and them remembering the era and time was an amazing experience as every generation had their own style, history and memories. I liked being able to watch these on my own as well in my PJs without a care in the world relaxing.
Mill Creek entertainment has so many great shows on DVD including The Larry Sanders Show, Different Strokes, Facts of life and more.
