Max and Eddie have finally achieved their dream of managing a successful snowboarding team, but as the party atmosphere heats up, the temptation to run wild takes hold. Now that the team is a success, Max and Eddie are rolling in cash. But sometimes success makes us lose sight of the things that matter most, and forget how we soared to such heights in the first place. Realizing that they're suddenly at risk of losing everything they've worked so to hard to create, these two reformed slackers fight to save their team and take back the mountain. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
In this sequel to the 2004 crime drama starring Ving Rhames, James "Animal" Allen (Rhames) is serving a life sentence for murder when he discovers that his son has been framed for murder on the outside. Allen's son is not a killer, yet if he is convicted of committing the crime he has been accused of he could face a severe prison sentence. Now, the only way for Allen to help his boy out is to return to the brutal world of underground fighting. But this time things are different, because as Allen rises through the ranks of the prison fighters he will discover a far-reaching conspiracy to ignite a savage race war between the various gangs who vie for power on the inside. With his son in trouble on the outside and an uncontrollable melee about to erupt on the inside, it seems that the only thing left to do is fight for what's right and hope for the best. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Two washed-up snowboarders hatch an ingenious scheme to restore their reputations and get back on top of the snowboarding scene in this chilly comedy starring Tom Green and Dave England. Back in the 1990s, you couldn't pick up an extreme sports magazine without seeing glossy pictures of Max (England) and Eddie shredding it up on the snowy half-pipe. But these days things are different; a decade of reckless behavior has left them terminally hung over and hopelessly off-balance. Max and Eddie now work as lift operators at Stubby Peaks ski hill, and they hate their lives. Realizing that the only way to regain their status as kings of the hill is to take the top prize at the upcoming snowboarding event, the two longtime pals decide to form the ultimate snowboard team. But their old arch-nemesis Kingsley Brown (Green) is now the head of the National Snowboard Association, and he's seen the chaos these two boozy buddies are capable of causing. In order to keep Max and Eddie out of the sport for good, he blackballs their camp with all of his power. The big event is coming up fast, and if they don't form a team before it's too late, Max and Eddie might just miss their last shot at true redemption. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Inasmuch as National Lampoon magazine was on its last legs in 1994, the title National Lampoon's Last Resort was all too prophetic. The film takes place at, yes, a summer resort, which is threatened with extinction by (in unison, please) Evil Land Developers. Can the Corey boys -- Haim and Feldman -- save the camp? You might get some incidental fun by predicting precisely when the first bathroom joke is about to occur (it doesn't take long). Unlike previous National Lampoon features, Last Resort went direct to video. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Garret soon finds he has to fight enemies on all sides to win his freedom as well as that of the people. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A pointless and ill-advised return to the slasher movie formula -- which had long since worn out its questionable welcome by the mid-'80s. This silly endeavor begins with a hazing stunt perpetrated by pledges of the Phi Delta fraternity, who try to break into a local insane asylum to take a photograph of the homicidal Father Malius (Charles Cragin). Malius, we're told, was responsible for the deaths of several college students nearly 30 years before, and is merely biding his time until he finds the opportunity to kill again. The foolish pledges set off a chain of events allowing Malius to make his escape, whereupon he makes a beeline for his former killing grounds with pickax in hand. From this point forward we're treated to an amalgam of every tired slasher cliche in the book. The only noteworthy element of this dismal production is the brief presence of Darren McGavin, who looks rather disinterested until his lively "surprise" death scene. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
In this adolescent comedy, a group of ski instructors spend their time sliding on the slopes, drinking too much, and trying to beat a rival ski school during the annual spring festival.
