Review of Racing Stripes (DVD)

Small Spys - Big Scale

Advantages: Entertaining, loads of ideas, amusing
Disadvantages: None

The original Spy Kids movie arrived with little fanfare, a small budget but a lot of ideas. $100 million at the US box office meant that a sequel would be a sure bet. However writer/director Robert Rodriguez had already envisioned this and knocked out a second movie within the space of a year. This is because Rodriguez has total control over his movies, he writes, edits, directs, produces, designs and even does some of the special effects. This makes ...

Review of Spy Kids 2 - The Island Of Lost Dreams (DVD)

This is BAD

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: It's crap

The 1950's and 1960's saw Walt Disney breaking new ground by merging animation and live action into a single amalgamation if not seamlessly then at least convincingly. It was a revolutionary move that tickled the imagination and gave rise to all sorts of possibilities. For many years, such mingling and meshing went on, but really came to the fore in feature films with the extraordinary Who Framed Roger Rabbit? featuring Bob Hoskins and an unbelievably ...
...fair amount of flair, and the cartoon sensibilities of its makers meant that almost exactly the right balance was struck. It was a rip roaring success and enormously enjoyable. However, as good as Roger Rabbit was, when they decided to repeat the trick with the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie in 2000, the flaws were there for all to see and this film is almost unwatchable, even given the presence of Robert De Niro and his half assed parody of the "Are ...

Spy Kids The Real Heroes

Advantages: Really good story, Inventive, Great for the whole family
Disadvantages: This type of film has been done before

...rescue using all the latest spy gadgets. In the truest sense Carmen and Juni become Spy Kids. Spy Kids is the first film of the Spy Kids trilogy, directed and written by Robert Rodriguez. Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara also star in the film which was released back in 2001. The first Spy Kids was a feature film that was extremely popular with children and so they released another 2 movies. What is funny about this film is that whilst Gregorio and Ingrid's ...
...Cumming) and Minion (Tony Shalhoub). Spy Kids was a huge success much more so than was ever anticipated. Due to the huge success of this film an extended version was made that includes special effects not shown in the original film. Special effect sequences were shown on this that were not previously affordable in the previous budget. These are shown on the DVD. This is definitely a film worth watching for its entertainment factor. It is bright and ...

Review of Spy Kids (DVD)

Stop the Sequels!!!.

Advantages: You don't always have to wear 3-D glasses.
Disadvantages: The Acting. It's Not 3-D.

Spy Kids 3-D Plot. At the start of the movie, Juni Cortez (Daryl Sabara) the trilogy's junior James Bond comes out of retirement (Although we have no explanation why he retired in the first place), to rescue the mind of his sister Carmen Cortez (Alexa Vega), who has become trapped inside a virtual reality video game. Sylvester Stallone, stars as the main villain, "The Toymaker", who designed the video game to capture the minds of every ...
...why.) Once Juni get's inside the game, it's a world of computer scenery, special effects and made up creatures. He meets a bunch of beta testers who have been allowed into the game, and sets out on his quest to reach level 4, where is sister is being held. My Opinion. First of all, becuase this is a 3-D movie and you have to where old fashioned blue/red cardboard glasses I will tell you my opinion on this. Basically they are terrible, ...
