Movies http://www.viewpoints.com/Code-11-14-review-75c74 While browsing through the cable guide I ran across one with David James Elliott (Detective Kurt Novak) who used to play Harmon Rabb on the series J.A.G. so I decided to tape it. It also has Nanci Chambers(Det. Andrea McInroy (Lt. Singer from J.A.G and Elliott's real life wife)). Also in the movie are Terri Farrel(Michelle Novack), Stephen Lang (Justin Shaw) along with many more. — — The Plot — — This is a story about a serial killer whom Kurt Novack is chasing, Novack is an FBI Agent and his partner Det. Andrea McInroy just happens to be his real life wife (Nanci Chambers). Anyway as they gather clues the killer Justin Shaw taunts him by phone, demanding he publish the crime scene pictures...This guy is sick...he poses the women and cuts parts of the pictures out. He is smart though and never leaves finger prints at the crime scenes. — — Seven women have lost their lives to this sick maniac when Novack gets a call that the Australian Police have...

Just a little slow at times.   Probably rent it when it comes out to see how it was made. I love to watch the special features. —...

That's my kind of humor, you either get it or you don't.  I will say this, for a dude who got his start in a cheesy 70's sitcom (can you guess which one?), John Travolta has done alright for himself, and by definition, us.  He, at first, gained fame as a cheesecake pinup boy.  In other words, he was Keanu Reeves before there was a Keanu Reeves, the key difference being Travolta is an actor.  "Whoa!.  Did I just say that?"  Yep. — — Having appeared in some 50 or so movies over the last 30 years, Travolta has proved himself diverse as he has acted, sang, and most famously, danced his way to his current status as one of the most popular actors of our time.  His career has had its ups and downs, for sure.  He went 9 years without a hit film in the 80's and then another 5 years before jump-starting himself yet again with "Pulp Fiction."  If his career were...

I grew up watching Scooby Doo and now my 4 year old son watches it. Normally, I do not allow him to watch anything except for educational shows, but who could say no to Scooby Doo. I am an adult and I can still sit and watch Scooby Doo with my son and I don't get bored. Scooby Doo is a classic and he has been around for ages. He is and always will be my favorite television character....

Of course this is Disney, and in the end it all works out and several lessons are learned.  Note: my daughter didn't predict the ending correctly. — Both my girls enjoyed it very much.  I'm sure they'll be asking for the cd within the next week.  ...

Since i was a little girl i have loved this movie and  now i get to watch my niece fall in love with this movie as well.. A definite classic for the ages.. mostly aired on tv around thanksgiving, this movie is the ultimate family fun movie, with lessons and comedy and drama.. I would recommend this movie ten times over. —...

Never been a show as clever and gut-strainingly hilarious as this show, nor does it seem that there ever will.

It was a real representation of what TV should be. There isn't a lot of TV I care to watch these days, but I could watch this over and over again. My entire family enjoyed this show.
