K2 (1991)
One of the most realistic mountaineering movies available
If you have seen "Cliffhanger" and "Vertical Limit" and thought they were good mountaineering movies, "K2" might probably surprise you! As the first two are action movies based at high altitude (probably due to the lack of a decent story!), "K2" is actually a movie about mountaineering. Having read about mountaineering, done it myself and seen "Everest - the IMax movie", the realism in "K2" is astounding!
The actors are doing an impressive job on the mountains, their gear is correct, their reaction to altitude is 98% real and their pace is realistic as well.
If you are looking for "Cliffhanger 2" or "Vertical Limit 2", this is not the movie to go for. But... If you are looking for a catching mountaineering movie with breathtaking scenery and an OK storyline - go and buy "K2". It has FINALLY been released on DVD - at least in Europe.
The Wedding Dress (2001)
Cute feel-good movie!
Don't expect much else of this movie, than to be entertained and brought in a good mood. It is definitely NOT a very serious love-drama-whatever... It is nonetheless a movie worth spending time on as it IS a sweet feel-good movie that makes a necessary and needed difference to mostly everything else on the tube. I hope they'll release it on DVD/VHS as I didn't get to tape it. :-(
