Meet The Sailor Man With The Spinach Can!!!
Review of Popeye DVD by eve6kicksass

Advantages: Superb casting, faithful adaptition of comic, Altman's direction
Disadvantages: Some bad songs and dubbing, overlength, an octopus

...thinking; how could I choose POPEYE to honor him? Well, I’m not exactly honoring him with this review, but merely mentioning that he passed away last year; yes, I know, POPEYE is considered one of his worst films. In many ways, this is director Altman’s most unorthodox film: it is not only based on a well-known comic book but it is also a musical. It marked the starring debut of Robin Williams, one of the world’s most beloved comedians, and also ...
...****************************************************************** For the uninitiated, Popeye is a sailor with only one eye, huge muscles, a pipe (which toots like a steam whistle), and a massive speech impediment which gives his character a funny mannerism; for example, words like “infant” come out of his word like “infink,” and “mother” would come out as “mudder.” He was created in 1929 by Elzie Crisler (“E.C.” for short) Seger for the King Features ...

"I Y'am What I Y'am!"
Review of Popeye DVD by Entwife

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 ... Read review

Review of French Connection, The by  utero

Advantages: great acting and direction, action, gritty realism
Disadvantages: none

...The French Connection is one of those films that you hear is an absolute classic but you never get the chance to see it. Well thanks to a Special Edition DVD release I finally got the chance last night and it was well worth the wait. Jimmy 'Popeye' Doyle (Gene Hackman) and Buddy 'Cloudy' Russo (Roy Schieder) are two New York cops who like nothing better than cleaning up the city by stamping down on the drug problems in the bleak areas of upper Manhattan. Doyle has an eye for spotting crooks and one night he sees someone familiar dishing out cash like confetti in a club. He has a hunch and drags along Russo on a stakeout. They tail the guy who seems shifty and owns a business that doesn't really bring in the cash. In fact this guy is a go between on a large drugs deal between a dealer from France and a New York crime Barron. But Doyle... Read review

Review: Duvall is one of a number of odd, unexpected treasures....High-spirited (New York Times, 13/09/2006)

DVD Description

The classic comic strip and cartoon hero comes to life in Robert Altman's film adaptation of the adventures of the spinach-munching sailor. After he's thrown from his ship during a storm, Popeye (Robin Williams) finds refuge in a quaint seaside town. There he rents a room from the Oyls and meets their daughter Olive (the perfectly cast Shelley Duvall). Olive is engaged to Captain Bluto (Paul Smith), a bully and ruffian who is in charge of collecting taxes for the mysterious Commandant. Popeye, who was orphaned at an early age, is in the midst of a desperate search for his missing father, but what he doesn't realize is that the shipwreck has brought him unexpectedly close to his final destination. In bringing his own distinct vision to E. C. Segar’s legendary hero, Altman creates an atmosphere that is breezy, loose, and filled with slapstick shenanigans. Williams portrays Popeye with a physically comic flair that is both honest and energetic--as do the rest of the cast members, including frequent Altman contributors Duvall, Paul Dooley, and David Arkin. Harry Nilsson’s songs add to the lighthearted affair, making POPEYE an enjoyable family viewing experience all around.
