Jpster, Thanks for bringing up that Mystery, Alaska movie. It (Mystery, Alaska) is worth a rental fee and a couple of hours in front of a fire. Even more so when it's free. After the Olympic hockey game yesterday I flipping channels and stumbled across it on the cable station called Encore. You were right. It was a pretty good movie. Funny too! One of those feel good type of flicks where you give the story line a bit of leeway. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have probably passed it by. Thanks for posting your review. Between the the olympics and this movie, I don't recall watching this much hockey in one week when it didn't include the NY Islanders in the playoffs... (It's been a while.) Anyhow, I see it's on again Thursday night at 8:00 PM on Encore (first time I think I ever watched that channel) for anyone interested in seeing a bunch of small town locals from Alaska take on the NY Rangers on a frozen pond. It was shot up in Alberta, Canada. Beautiful scenery. I wonder why they didn't actually shoot it in Mystery, Alaska. Is there such a town? Mapquest only shows Mystery Creek. (I had trouble figuring out Alaska's abbreviation of AK...Fist time I ever had to use it...) Perhaps there's my answer... It's an imaginary town. I guess they also wouldn't have very long hours of daylight to shoot it there during the winter. Anyhow, it looked like a fun place to live if you like winter. One other thing I learned it that the term Eskimo is a derogatory term. They prefer Inuit, Inupiaq, and Yupik. I learn something new every day. -QuinnTheInupiaq P.S. Between the Olympics and that movie, I appreciate winter a little bit more today. ...that feeling may wear out it's welcome as soon as I go out into the freezing cold to start up my car and head to work in a minute or so...
