Growing up as a kid in the late 80's and early 90's I enjoyed watching the "Naked Gun" movies as they were funny as all get out with slapstick comedy and parody like moments as Leslie and Pressley shined. Now it's on to a new generation as Frank Drebin Jr.(Liam Neeson) is now in charge and carrying on a funny old family police tradition! The police squad is fun to watch with Frank Jr. As he does it his way while getting the bad guys! To spice things up in a sexy and eye candy like way is his girlfriend Beth(the elegant and still beautiful Pamela Anderson) who puts it all on the line for Frank Jr. As Beth even becomes a damsel in distress being tied up and gagged by the bad guys. This is movie is a nice modern funny little joy to watch and look for some supporting small parts from C C H Pounder as the police chief and pro wrestler Cody Rhodes as a bartender. If you liked the old "Naked Gun" movies you will enjoy this new chapter and journey of it.

Growing up as a kid in the 80's I loved big time professional wrestling, I had the memories of the regional leagues, and the feuds and bad and good guys, and of course during it all was the "WWF" which had highs and lows. This six part "Netflix" series called "Mr. McMahon" covered it all during Vince's 50 year wrestling work life. From starting under his dad Vince Sr. In Bangor, Maine to him taking wrestlers from rival regional independents, to becoming a media icon, and his battles with the "WCW" and the "Screwjob", to the "Attitude" push the envelope era and go against the grain, way to his family taking over the company (daughter Stephaine and hubby Triple H). It all comes around thru scandal and tragedies for a finish. This doc left a mark with interviews from "The Rock", "Stone Cold", and "Hulk Hogan", as many might call this Vince's fall from grace as many didn't like his tactics true Vince took hits while slamming real life foes. Love him or hate him any wrestling fan must watch this series to see Vince destroy the mom and pop's wrestling, all while taking the "WWF" into heights never thought of as it became a multimillion dollar entertainment brand of it's own.

Remember late nights on weekends this series use to run in syndication. Watching as a kid many of the episodes entertained me as it was like a mini cowboy show for me or a cop's and robber's chase short. Still despite from being interesting and entertaining the series had episodes of suspense and drama often involving evil curses, and ancient spells. The plot centered around an antique store owner who dealt with curses of old classic vintage items. Helped along by Micki(the attractive Louise Robey). My most memorable episodes were "Bedazzled", and "Mesmer's Bauble". Now I continue to watch reruns on classic TV independent channels.
