The Easter Egg Adventure (2004)

The Easter Egg Adventure (2004)- *1\2

Directed by: John Michael Williams

Starring the voices of: James Woods, Brooke Shields, Eli Wallach, Joe Pantoliano, and Nancy Kerrigan














I can see why Easter Egg Adventure didn't make it to theaters. I think it's the very poorly done animation. It looks unfinished and sloppy. The story is okay through. The voice cast is mediocre. James Woods does not have a big role in this. Joe Pantoliano does a decent job as Timmy. Brooke Shields and Gary Littman are very annoying as Ms. Hare and Gracious Grasshopper.

The writing mostly consists of play on words for Rabbits and Chickens. The songs are also pretty weak too. The only saving grace in this mess are the funny close ups of the characters.

Definitely for little kids only.

Cheating Las Vegas (2000)

Cheating Las Vegas (2000)-* * *

Directed by: Steve Beebe

Narrated by: James Woods






If you like cheating at cards, You'll love this film! James Woods narrates this documentary about Las Vegas Cheaters and how they can bypass the tight security. It's only an hour long, but you'll get some cool info on how to cheat and not cheat the casinos.



The documentary has a mixture of security tapes and talking heads. One cheater was a jeweler and melted fake silver coins that looked like casino coins and put them into the slot machine. He won a ton of money! Of course he got caught, but he didn't serve much time. On the DVD, there's some more information on the devices and tricks the cheaters use.

Seek this movie out and you'll have a lot of fun.

End Game (2005)

End Game (2005) -* * *

Directed By: Andy Cheng

Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr., James Woods, Angie Harmon, Anne Archer, Peter Greene, Todd Jensen, Sarah Ann Schultz, Brian Presley, Jack Scalia, and Burt Reynolds









End Game is one of the biggest Direct-To-Video movies of the year. Like Edison Force (2006) The Big White (2005), and Grilled (2006), it shows that any movie with an all-star cast and good premise can go DTV.

The plot: The president has been assassinated. Secret Service Agent Alex Thomas (Gooding Jr.) feels responsible. He starts to fall into a deep depression. When reporter Kate Crawford (Harmon) realizes that there's a conspiracy about the killing, she enlists Thomas's help. When they start to dig deeper, The assassins start to target them and all witnesses. Can they escape?



This movie was slated to have a theatrical release, so the action scenes are 100 times better than your usual Seagal\fast cut crud.


While Burt Reynolds looks like a Madame Tussaud's wax statue of Burt Reynolds, and that is somewhat distracting, the rest of the cast, including Todd Jensen, put in their usual professionalism. Woods and Reynolds have a good confrontation in the beginning. The only problem with the movie is the ending, I won't spoil it, but I will say they don't stop while they're ahead.
Overall, End Game is one of the best straight to video movies I've seen in a long while and if you like Cuba Gooding Jr. Or Woods, definitely check it out.
