Slap Shot 3 is a mockery of everything Slap Shot stood for and what the game of hockey is all about. Slap Shot 2 was a direct to DVD sequel, and this movie was a DVD release the world barely knew about.

My opinion here may be a little basis, but after watching the film last night, I got to say it … More Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
8/10 Step Up the Streets continues the tradition of an outcast trying to find some solid footing in their life, while trying to follow their dreams and pursue their passions.
