This weeks Midweek Mention was chosen by Dan and sees his love affair with sports movies continuing with 1999's MYSTERY, ALASKA.
Rusell Crowe stars as Justin Beiber (near enough) : sheriff and captain of the local ice hockey team in the tiny fictional town that gives the film its name. When a Sports Illustrated article is published about the towns open pond style skating it attracts the interests of the NHL and an exhibition game between the New York Rangers and the local community is arranged, propelling the inhabitants of this cold hamlet to the centre of national focus. A heart-warming character movie about a small town that makes it big, with a sprinkle of star power courtesy of Burt Reynolds and an unexpected cameo from Mike Myers (not Halloween), this one failed to make much of an impact on the box office and critical reception was largely negative. What will the dads make of it?
