 | The Return of the Musketeers [Read More ...]
Typical Sequel-Sequel Syndrome:It was good to see the 'boys' in action again. The 'twist' of Athos and Arimis not trusting d'Artagnan was good. Otherwise, most of it was boring. I loved the 3 and 4 Musketeers, the 3 being my favorite. |

 | Point Break [Read More ...]
