Rocketman (2019)
Better for the stage then film..
This comes across as overdone in terms of the music... All it is is a look into a therapy session that talks about the dead relationship with his dad and the cold reaction of his mother on his coming out.... I think something like this is better suiting for the stage then film.... Would rather hear Elton sing hid songs then someone else... While the actors were good.. a project like this is bitter suited for the stage...
DC Super Hero Girls (2015)
Better then the new version...
Love the show for the 2 D animation and they look like real characters and not abstract art... solid stories and cool animation... Just wish that the 2015 series was available to buy.... This one is far better then the 2019 reboot...
Valentine Road (2013)
The school should be ashamed!
Watching the story on the young man that was murdered by another student all because the person he killed was gay... This is the story about how one was a ticking time bomb who wound up killing a young man cause he was gay...
The saddest thing is that the school acts like Larry should have never existed... Shame on the school for being so cold and indifferent to a HUMAN BEING... We do get to see Larry and hear about his hard life... It is sad to see a young man who helped our vets and be kind and giving die so needlessly at the end of hate...
Those that got on camera to talk anti gay.. SHAME ON YOU... That could be your son, Daughter or some other relative... I am glad Larry was true to himself and not some closed minded fool.... Watch this in memory of Larry...
Arthur: D.W.'s Library Card/Arthur's Big Hit (1999)
We see Arthur getting punished but not DW.. Does not give proper message
The one about the library card Should have shown how kids really get their cards... Most libraries have your parents fill out info on a computer then you get a plastic card,, They never touch on renewal limits... At the end she thinks she can endlessly renew a book...
The one where Arthur hits his sister has some problems... Sure he hit his sister,, But we only see HIS PUNISHMENTS,,, If he could not watch Bionic Bunny then Dora would not have been able to watch Mary Moo Cow... He told her many times not to touch it... Even told her not to touch it when the paint was wet... NO PUNSHMENTS for her.. It is like the parents let her slide on everything... She is a child She says to Arthur... Well so is he...
We don't see her being punished and his friends are just as bad when they make him out to be the bad egg when she was far worse...
Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (2017)
Tom and Jerry Willy Wonka
While it is nice to see Willy Wonka get an animated update... Some of the scenes with Tom and Jerry trying to get at each other ruins some of the movie's great moments... The scene where Charlie and Grandpa sings about the golden Ticket is one example... The scene where Charlie meets Slugworth is changed up when Slugworth sings "I WANT IT NOW.." The movie is nicely animated... The voicing is mostly on point with Willy Wonka, Charlie, and Grandpa...
This movie is worth it for the throwback factor but If you want to see the original Willy Wonka... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you see the 1971 version....
RoboCop (2014)
Beats the crap out of Iron Man
This is one of the best movies that I have seen in years... This is about a cop who is almost killed when someone plants a bomb on his car.. His wife is forced (My opinion) to put him into a operation that turns him into a robot that can stop crime... The only problem is that the human emotion get in the way of creators plans...
All roles are top notch and effects are outstanding.... The story itself could have been ripped from the headlines... The new look for Robocop is really cool as it looks futuristic.. This film has a lot of action and outstanding scenes where he opens fire at will to those that do harm... You do not need to be funny to make a great movie...
It was good to see Michael Keaton back in the screen again... Same thing cam be said for Jackie Haley.. Most people know Michael from Mr Mom and Jackie from Bad News Bears In Breaking Training... it is good seeing these 2 really showing what they can do outside of their known classics..
Samuel L Jackson is perfect for the role as the host of that news show.. He puts it all on the line in every role he takes on... I hope that another Robocop movie is in the works soon... Iron Man was sent to the pee wee leagues as far as I am concerned.. This film pulls no punches when it comes to tragedy, greed, and family...
Gameshow Marathon (2006)
Press Your luck is the Shining GEM through the mess of a series
It seemed that the Game Show marathon nose dived into mind numbing stupidity with The Price is Right. A lot of the contestants didn't seem remotely interested in the show. A lot of them were squealing like idiots and some were just paying around on Camera... It seemed to hurt the rest of the series. These people are playing for a charity of their choosing, but I feel bad for them. My advice is not to play down or act stupid even if it is trying to liven things up on national TV.
The one bright spot is the Press Your Luck segment... The Detail is close to the original set and it was really neat to see the old Whammy back on our screens again. Best of all, Ricki Lake made up for the shoddy start to this series by not fooling around or acting too silly...
The audience had an incredible energy that I have not seen since the original show... The contestants save for one, really seemed to be enjoying themselves...
The clips of that show brought back a lot of memories for me as a kid and I could almost feel Peter's spirit and I thought of Rod too... The memorial at the end was a nice touch.. Aside from a shining moment on the PYL set, the goofing around on the first show seemed to hurt the rest of the series...
CBS needs to bring back PYL for another charity type show.. The crown jewel in what would have been a totally bleak series... PYlk is the one bright spot in it...
The Magic of David Copperfield XIV: Flying - Live the Dream (1992)
These need to be on DVD
I saw this one a long time ago and just loved it. I remember when he came down in an elevator, and the next minute he seemed to be having a conversation with Orson Wells. I would love to see this entire show out on DVD so that I can go back and refresh my memory on some of the show. The magic "trick" that stole the show was the one where he was flying... I still have that segment on an old cassette and it still moves me to tears.
I hope that David will consider bringing out his specials in a series type of release so that his fans can enjoy them intact and commercial free.. If you ever find this one on tape you will be thrilled and amazed by this man... A must see...
I have watched this show a lot on my old tape and David is clearly the master of magic...
A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (1988)
A Pup Named Scooby Doo is a great series!
I loved this show as I was working my way through the last years of high school. The Characters has a bit of a change. Fred was kind of a dummy and he kept on blaming all the crimes on Red Herring. The neighborhood Bully. Daphny was kind of snooty and lazy. She would have her Butler Jenkens bring her a change of clothes or rid a spooky house of dust. Shaggy and Scooby were the same duo as in the original series but younger. Velma was the cute smart one.
I find it to be one of the last great shows on the 1980s. I like the skateboard that the gang would get around on. Who could forget Commander Cool and Mellow mutt. This was also one of the last series Don Messick voiced before his death in 2001 or so.
The Animation was great most of the time, but on some episodes.. the PTB could have done a better job in terms of quality... Still, A Pup named Scooby Doo is far better then. "The new Scooby Doo Mysteries" and "13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo."
Krypto the Superdog (2005)
Looks fun! Nice to see other parts of the Superman/super girl
family get the spotlight for a change. I caught one of the episodes on TV today and actually loved it.. I think this is one of the best cartoons to come on that channel in many years. If this show is a hit, I might consider going back to CN for my daily dose of Krypto the Superdog! The only problem I have with it really is the fact that he looks a lot like Scooby Doo? Other then that, I intend to watch this show more often... It looks really cool...
i hope to see more shows done as one story rather then 2 cartoons in a single 1/2 hour. I love the animation as it is crisp and the color is bright... The animators really need to work on the cape action as he is flying. Sometimes Krypto looks like he is wearing a red blob on his back.
All in all... The show looks fun... This K9 now has a new fan!
She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985)
Awesome show... Needs to be on DVD!
She Ra is a great show about a long lost princess that is destined to get a magic sword to help fight evil. Prince Adam was sent on this mission to find the owner of the new sword. Once there he meets up with some Rebels who are fighting a force known as the Horde. During a fight with them, He Man finds out that the Force captain is to get the sword. I am not going to spoil the ending for those that want to see how it turns out..
I loved this show when I was 14. She Ra is right up there with Xena Warror Princess... I used to come home from school just in time to see the opening. Adora and She Ra were as independent as Adam or Bo. She was true girl power back in 1985.
the secret of the sword was a great way to introduce She Ra to young woman back in those days. I was 14 at the time and I watched it whenever I had the chance. She Ra needs to be on DVD... I want to see it again....
Animalympics (1980)
Great Aminated Film!
I was one of the lucky Kids to have HBO in the late 70s and this movie was really big at our home. Even my father loved the film! This film is like a spoof on the Olympics and it really showcases the voice talents of Billy Crystal and the late Gilda Radner.
This film really focuses on detail as with Dean Wilson driving a van! I find this film to be for mun then the real thing. The real stand out though is the music...
Graham Gouldman really outdid himself with some real slamming tunes. I have a Mint copy of the LP and a copy on cassette and it really fits the film nicely.
There are also spoofs of some famous people of the time as well, but the film is a real fun treat that the little ones can enjoy again and again. I hope that there is a DVD release in the future... This film should have gotten better treatment when it was first released...
My Girl 2 (1994)
I liked this movie...
I think that this was a good movie... Vada chooses to write a report about someone that they never met. She decides to do a report on her Mom. Her mom was an aspiring actress.. Vada ventures out to California to find out all about her Mother..
She stayed with her uncle and his girlfriend who have a young son named Nick... Personally I thought Nick was kind of a jerk.
I think that this is such a great story. Vada can now grow up knowing that her mom was special to a lot of people. The scene with Jeffery Pomeroy was so good... He told Vada that he was glad that her Mom found someone that would love her and that he was glad when she was born...
Sure the story may not sit well with some people, but I thought that it was great. I know if I never met my Mom, I sure would like to know all about her...
I would give this film a chance...
The Muppet Show (1976)
Good Show!
I watched this show as a child. This show had a certain magic to it. I like the ones with
John Denver Luke Skywalker and C3PO and especially the one with Christopher Reeve.
I thought that the series was far better then Muppets tonight.
I would love to see more of these shows brought out by a company other then Time Life. I was rather upset that the one with Christopher Reeve was not in the Best of Collection. It shows him doiong vets Hospital as well as a wonderful spin on Hamlet!
The muppet show had a magical feel to the series and Jim Henson was a true Genus in his field. God Bless Jim Henson... He is missed...
Hong Kong Phooey (1974)
Hong Kong Phooey Rocks!!! Should be on DVD!
Penrod Pooch leads a secret life as Hong Kong Phooey a Kung Fu crime fighter. His faithful sidekick Spot the cat usually solved the crimes, but that was only a part of the charm. Rosemary the Telephone operator had a mad crush on the hero never realizing that Penry was the one and only Hong Kong Phooey..
Too bad the show only lasted 16 episodes. Hong Kong Phooey is not totally helpless... He caught the guys in Car Theves, and caught the Cat burglar in Grandma Goody. He would have had the claw if Spot hadn't used the claw to block Phooey from really getting the claw. He would have had the Giggler too if Spot did not kick open the Jack in the Box to grab him just seconds before Phooey lands in the very spot where the giggler stood...
Scatman Coruthers was great as Phooey! As was Joe E Ross as the Gruff Sgt Flint. I hope the series gets the DVD treatment... I miss this show. It planted the seeds for the love of the Martial arts. Hong Kong Phooey had a cool car too! Classic show!
The Greatest American Hero (1981)
Great show but treated unjustly by the network...
I thought that this was a wonderful show about Ralph Hinkley, a high school teacher. He is wandering the desert looking for help after the school van breaks down. Soon Bill Maxwell nearly hits Ralph and are approached by a space craft that gives Ralph a suit complete with cape...
I thought that this was a great show... It would show how a person might deal with that type of situation. ABC put this on in midseason in 1981 and ran until 1983. With the assassination attempt on the president by a guy that shared the last name as the hero, prompted the change to Hanley for a short time. But soon schedule changes made ratings drop even more.
Early in 1983 ABC Canceled the series not airing 4 or more episodes. NBC tried to revive the show with a woman as the new owner of the costume but the Pilot never sold but was seen in syndication as part of the original series.
Soon the show will be on DVD and I will watch it with pride.. Though the series wasn't on for long, it is still a very special part of my childhood...
I have a homemade suit and Hope that the DVDs will come soon.. I would love to take 3 steps and fly off in the sky... Great memories!
