Willis O’Brien, the f/x magician behind King Kong and The Lost World, had always wanted to do a cowboys and dinosaurs film. It is no surprise that his prodigy Ray Harryhausen would accomplish the task. Using some of O’Brien’s design ideas, Harryhausen credibly put these two film icons together with mixed results. The script is certainly not the best Harryhausen had to work with. More Bronco Billy than Jurassic Park, this is more an entertaining film than anything to be taken seriously. James Franciscus does a fine job of playing to the f/x.

Synopsis

Most fans of the NBA have strong feelings about Allen Iverson. While some feel that he his the most dominant player in the game today, others feel that he is selfish, a player who is more concerned with his own numbers than the welfare of his team. Iverson is usually embroiled in some sort of controversy, and I suspect that he likes it that way. While it is true that his rough image is probably not what the NBA has in mind as a league player, his talent simply cannot be denied.

This hour-long documentary ha... really swayed my opinion of Iverson. I admit, I didn’t really know a lot about him before viewing this piece, except for the fact that he was constantly in some sort of trouble either with the law or with the NBA. This feature, while clearly shining the most positive light on every situation, does a good job of helping to explain his troubles both on the court and off. This is a player who knows that he has made mistakes in the past, and who is willing to do whatever it takes to be a winner in the future.
