    a good, solid 4 from bears

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hated this one. I gave it a 1.

    There's logic in nonsense.

    Four. Liked it, didn't love it.

    Strangely enough, this is one I have difficulty separating from the movie. I didn't think Thad Beaumont was cast well. After much deliberation, though, I can give it a four.
    It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    The hands of the many must join as one.
    And together we'll cross the river.
