"I Y'am What I Y'am!"

Advantages: Nostalgic, lightly entertaining, ahead of it's time!
Disadvantages: "I got millions'o emenies. And you is 10 or 12 of 'em!"

How did Popeye the Sailor become strong to the finish? Where did he come from, and what was his family like? This charming 1980 film musically explores Popeye's origins, and the quirky town of Sweet Haven with it's criminally pinioned populace. From the moment Popeye discreetly rides an ebbing storm into this odd port, we know his life will never be the same again. Street toughs and the local crime-boss, The Commodore, rule the town, and the only ...
...Williams and Shelley Duval as Popeye and Olive Oyl. "Children! They cry at you when they're young, they yell at you when they're older, they borrows from you when they's middle-aged and they leave you alone to die. Without even paying you back!" ~Poopdeck Pappy This joint production between Paramount and Disney displays a lot of talents. Harry Nillson wrote all the original songs. There is plenty to enjoy for those who are fond of musicals. The lullaby ...

Review of Popeye (DVD)

By Hook or by crook

Advantages: A change from the normal Pan story
Disadvantages: Poor acting and writing

Hook is a variation on the Peter Pan story, but rather than Peter being the 12 or 13 year old boy he always was, we find that Peter is a middle aged man, and a miserable one at that. Peter is now an a lawyer (no wonder he's miserable!!), spends more time concentrating on his clients than his family. He has been invited to be the key speaker at a function to honour Wendy, who's now an elderly lady who's devoted her life to helping orphans and Great ...
...a message from Captain James Hook pinned to the door. Hook wants a showdown with Peter and instructs him to return to Neverland to save his children. Peter of course, cannot remember Hook, and although Wendy tries to explain, he refuses to believe that he is Peter Pan. He calls the police, who put the disappearance down to a prank, based on the family connection to J. M. Barrie and the Peter Pan 'stories'. During the night, Peter attempts to sleep ...

Review of Aladdin King Of Thieves (DVD)

Fully Entertainment

Advantages: Surprising, Adventurouse, Entertaining, and good animation.
Disadvantages: Dialogues are not that much clear according to the small kids.

Harry Potter is filled with full of adventure , action and mind blowing animations. When you once start watching it you will not get up even for pee. Becuase it contains lots of surprising events which raises your hair. Interesting is that Harry Potter is a very courageouse kid and his friends really remains with them till the end. Watching this movie is really money value movie. Regarding character of the movie and the story line, its amazing. ...
...The Hobbit and a witch in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. I also think that the emphasis on magic is different than its use in the book “A Wrinkle in Time”. If you found those themes objectionable in the Harry Potter books—they are very convincing in the film. ...
