3 comments about Appetite and Attitude: A Conversation with Lance Mackey.

1. I am so impressed with Lance Mackey. He is the real deal as far as big time mushers are concerned. His love for his human family, his dogs, Alaska and sled dog racing comes thru loud and clear in this video. If want to hear what a 4 time Yukon Quest and 2 time Iditarod champion has to say about life and sled dogs, this is the video for you. The only problem is the time goes too fast and I wanted to hear more. Highly recommended.



2. Let me be upfront and straight forward, I'm a huge Lance Mackey fan. When I got my copy in the mail I couldn't get it opened and into the DVD player fast enough. I watched it straight through, then microwaved some dinner and watched it again.
   
   For die hard Lance fans, like myself, its mesmerizing. Its like having a long, fireside conversation with him. Its almost like being there in person. Prehaps its even better, because there are no distractions. He is amazingly candid and open. He offers up insights about the sport that few of us would imagine. He tells us a lot about his own thinking and how he processes observations of dog and musher behaviors.
   
   He gives us the history of mushing in his family, his dad's early endeavors with dogs and how he built his teams. Lance talks about how he and Tonya started their lives together on a beach in the Kenai Peninsula and how the dogs returned to his life. He talks about his battle with cancer and the long term effects of the treatment. This video allows us unprecedented access into Lance's life, intimate, hilarious, heartfelt, determined, and truely dogged.
   
   This is not a critical review. This is South-Paw Sarida telling all those Lance Mackey fans out there to get this video as quickly as you can!
   
   Thank you Donna, Helen, Teresa and everyone involved in the production of this work. I will be living in anticipation until part 2. I hope in the next video we will get to see more of the dogs and watch that Mackey Magic with them.

3. Since his back-to-back wins in the Yukon Quest & Iditarod (beginning in 2007) it's been hard to catch a few minutes with Lance to just hear what the man has on his mind. This is that opportunity! Don't wait! Own this DVD cuz' I'm not loaning mine out!

1 comments about Sun Dogs.

1. Sun Dogs is the heartwarming tale of the first ever Jamaican dogsled team. Yes, dogsled not bobsled. The film documents the rescue of 12 stray dogs from Jamaica and their formation into a dogsled team. It's a film about second chances, not only for the dogs but for the mushers as well. The mushers are offered the chance of a lifetime as they cultivate their love for animals while receiving an education and traveling the world. It's a great film for the whole family to watch. You get attached to each of the dogs like they're your own. Jimmy Buffet even sponsored the team, so how can you get any better? The film puts me in a good mood every time I watch. I highly suggest you bark at this documentary.

5 comments about Iron Will.

1. An excellent family movie. There is a bit of violence and some language but for the most part this movie is wonderful. I watched with my children yesterday and they loved it.
   
   After Will Stoneman's father dies he needs a way to help pay for his mom's farm and college. He enters a contest that pays 10,000 dollars. He enters the contest. The rest is up to you to view!



2. i ordered a video i couldn't get in Australia, it was easy to order, arrived before xmas and cost about the same as it would have in a retail shop; thats including postage.



3. This is not your average Disney film, except that the quality is top-rate, the acting is top rate, and the story line is decent. But it is not a Mikey Mouse Club tpye story.
   It is based on a true life story. Mackenzie Austin is a great actor in this. Not sure why he never did anything this good again.
   Ok, the story can be sappy, and it has been done before (and since). But for all the sled-dog type movies this is the best (even recent ones).
   As for a dog movie, this is ok, there are some better dog movies, but this ranks up there with Benji.



4. MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH ENJOYED THIS MOVIE AND IT IS A GOOD MOVIE FOR OUR COLLECTION,AND TO PASS AROUND.



5. iron will is an excellent movie!! if you love huskys you will love this movie!!
