Review of The Goonies (DVD)

...This is probably one of the best films ever made, its perfection is so awesome I cannot begin to describe it to you! But I will try. I think. The basic premise of the story is thus: criminal family the Fratelli's are on the run and find this old restaurant as a hiding place; meanwhile, four kids (The Goonies - Mikey, Chunk, Data and Mouth) and one older brother (Brandon) find a map directing them to secret treasure in Mikey's Dad's attic. The map ...
...due for demolition soon for the country club members to put a golf course over it. Realising that finding buried treasure could mean saving their home (and keeping the Goonies together), the four kids, Brandon and two girls his age (Andy and Steff) embark on a treasure hunt - of course, bringing them into conflict with the Fratelli's, who also learn of the treasure and are determined to get their dirty criminal hands on it before the Goonies do. ...

Review of The Goonies (DVD)

...A film that stirs up the same warm feelings that Labyrinth did. That film, is of course, the goonies. Released in 1985, this film is a collaberation of Speilberg, and Colombus. So, it had to be good. Speilberg Has a way with kids films. He seems to blend in that extra touch of magic. The film is best described as an adventure, with a good whack of comedy thrown in. In fact, I think that I actually wet my pants, the first time that I watched it! Mind ...
...The plot ............................................ So, the goonies are a bunch of kids, who grew up on Goon docks, in oregon. They are pretty miserable. You see, their houses are about to be bulldozed by a local country club. Unless they find a substantial amount of cash, then they are gonna be homeless. On this particular day, they go up to the loft, and start looking through some old stuff. After a bit of general mucking about, and having fun, ...

...movies from your childhood then The Goonies has to be near the top of all time favourite classics. The Goonies came out in 1985 and was directed by Richard Donner. The basic plot involves a group of kids battling to save their neighbourhood of Astoria, Oregon from demolition to make room for a new golf course for the country club. As they are playing around on their last day they find a treasure map (I'm sure this is every kids dream) and set off ...
...and golden doubloons. Along the way they encounter a family of bad guys intent on catching them and taking the treasure for themselves, a cave full of booby traps and a chained up monster. The kid actors in this film are what makes the movie. I watched it as a kid and continue to watch it today as an adult and I never tire of it. It portrays the spirit of friendship and a dreams do come true attitude, a bit Hollywood maybe but every kid likes to ...

...ingenious death traps set by the dreaded pirate One-Eyed Willie. Will the Goonies find the treasure and escape with their lives? Of course they will .... This is a classic film from its time (1985) and has everything you'd expect from an 80's adventure film: bad hair cuts, hollywood kids in major roles, and not a jot of CGI in sight. No sir, that skeleton ghost ship is real. The plot is perhaps a little obvious; kids find map, kids find bad guys, ...
...this is your film. The acting is very good - even from the kids - and you can't help but get drawn in. The film is shot and produced exceptionally well and you can tell its a Steven Spielberg film. The sets and props are amazing and the traps brilliant. I can't really say much more than that without giving too much away. This isn't the best film of all time, but I still watch it now, some 15 years or more after it was made. The soundtrack isn't ...

Luckily, the kids find a treasure map in the attic and follow it through lots of booby trapped tunnles, and while being chased by three criminals who would also like the money, until finally finding the pirate ship they have been searching for.

When this film emerged in the eighties at some hazy point in my childhood I remember watching it over and over again. Before school, after school, whenever I could find time. My mother hated this film because of compulsive viewing of this masterpiece. Now the film has finally reached DVD in all its magnificent clearness. The chance is now here to skip directly to favourite scenes for instant nostalgic pleasure. Okay now down to the actual review. ...

"Hey You Guys"...... these are the immortal words which most people remember from The Goonies. Set in Astoria, it is a film about adventure, Pirates, Treasure (it couldn't be about pirates if it wasn't about treasure), walking the plank, Bad Guys, Crazy Kids and Mayhem. The film kicks off with an escape from County Jail of Jake Fratelli, with the help of his mama, and his brother Francis. A Police chase, and introductions to the cast of kids which ...

Brand is into fitness and weight training, and fancies Andi. Jeff Cohen plays Chunk, who's real name is Lawrence. Chunk is always making up stories to make himself look popular with his friends, and is always hungry. Chunk is also the lad who does the legendary ...
