Released by: Lionsgate My Advice: Eh. Bill Dugan (Engvall) is just a regular guy, you know. He just wants to fish in the nearby bay and run his little bait shop with its quirky cast of characters. This all comes crashing down when Randy "Hot Rod" Johnson (Cyrus) lands in town. A famous bad boy of bass fishing, he opens a flashy new fishing superstore just when a balloon payment is about to come due on Bill's shop. Bill's only shot is the big bass fishing competition, but Bill is an old-school fisher. None of those fancy echo locator or GPS units for him. But with everything on the line, can Bill's old fashioned approach win out over Johnson's Xtreme style? Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

Released by: New Video My Advice: Rent It If You Want To Feel Old In 1978, Robb Moss worked with a bunch of river guides in the Grand Canyon. Being an aspiring filmmaker, he filmed one of their last excursions of the summer. However, a planned documentary using that footage never came about. Fast forward to the 21th century, Moss finds the film and decides to check on some of the people in that party and see what's happened to them. Of course, many things have changed since that bucolic summer when they were all young, carefree, and mostly naked. Now they have careers, families, and a sense of responsibility and mortality. The Same River Twice explores how much has changed and how much stays the same over the intervening decades. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews
