All we can say is "¡Diarrhea No Mas!"
Best Closing Scene
MR.TNT Mike Boss HDMovies@aol.com
Yo, Adrian! Very Rocky-esque, yet rises above being a Rocky ripoff or wannabe. It's compelling, heartwarming and packs a wallop to go the distance. (Ding, ding, ding. That ends this round of boxing clichés.)

RENDER ME DEAD Greg Botherton gregory.brotherton@gmail.com
Birdie and Ben, who never met a cocktail they didn't guzzle with gusto, are wonderfully reminiscent of Nick and Nora Charles, only their "Asta" is a "Patsy."
