After going to “The Wild” this weekend with my two kids, I gotta say I don’t understand all the bashing of Disney and this film? Maybe “The Wild” isn’t on par with “The Lion King” or “Toy Myth”, but it’s far from being a snoozer like “Chicken Diminutive” or “Home on the Range”. There may be similar characters in both “Madagascar” and “The Wild”, but each film stands on it’s bear, and both are magnificent delicious. “The Wild” was a lot of fun, had some laugh out loud moments, and featured some fabulous animation. The soundtrack was fun, and while the songs may be older, who cares, they fit the spirit of the movie. Eddie Izzard’s koala acquire steals the film, and had my son and daughter laughing all afternoon. I am not clear what some of these other movie goers were expecting from “The Wild” and why it was such a major disappointment, but I say that if you enjoyed “Madagascar” then you will like “The Wild” too. Anything featuring the voices of Keifer Sutherland and William Shatner is worth taking a notice at.

They say Hollywood is a “hurry for second plot,” so you might say that DISNEY’S “THE WILD” is first to be second. Talking animals from an NYC zoo, ending up in an exotic foreign residence, facing their fears to become better…talking animals. If this sounds familiar you may have already seen it DREAMWORKS’ MADAGASCAR released less than a year ago. I’m not pointing fingers here, Disney has been supposedly working on this for 9 years, but THE WILD comes across as a “second-hand lion,” watered down and “toothless.”

The only differences, apart from the film and production company names, are style and negate casting. Whereas MADAGASCAR’S visual style is more cartoonish, THE WILD’s arrive is ultra-realistic in details. While Madagascar had characters voiced by Ben Stiller, Chris Rock and David Schwimmer, the stammer casting for THE WILD is up to Disney’s high standards: Respected leader SAMSON (guess HIS species) is voiced by Kiefer Sutherland, street savy Benny the Squirrel by Jim Belushi, dim-witted Larry the Snake by Richard Kind (of “the Producers”) and Janeane Garofalo as Bridget the Giraffe. Don Cherry, Canadian hockey announcer cameos as the penguin MC. One possible breakout character is Nigel the British kolala, voiced by Eddie Fizzard, trying to shed his cuddly image, later becoming idol to a pack of wildebeests along with their choreographing leader dancing to the beat of different drum, Kazar, voiced brilliantly-straight by William Shatner (who provides yelp for another gripping animal in the upcoming “Over the Hedge.”)

The WILD’S Director Steve Williams and producer Clint Goldman helped to revolutionize CG character animation during their long association with ILM (”The Cover,” “Jurassic Park,” “Terminator 2″), and were responsible for the well-liked Blockbuster commercials featuring Carl the rabbit and Ray the guinea pig. The film is scored by Academy-nominated composer Alan Silvestri ( known for the” Encourage to the Future Trilogy,” and “Polar Thunder”), the soundtrack is also filled with familiar tunes by such r recording artists EVERLIFE, COLDPLAY, LIFEHOUSE, and Mountainous Poor Voodoo Daddy. Other modern material provided by ex-”Monty Python” member Eric Lazy and fellow songwriter John Du Prez, the team responsible for the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, “SPAMALOT” writing and performing the song, “Really Nice Day” for THE WILD.

As the animals embark on a risky flow to rescue one of their have, THE WILD, like its DREAMWORKS counterpart, is well-behaved for children with themes of teamwork, friendship and father-son relationships ( Samson’s son’s desire to secure out of his father’s shadow and have his have adventures) . Overall it comes down to this: If you haven’t seen MADAGASCAR you will luxuriate in this film infinitely more.

If you’re a fan of Brian Helgeland, Paul Bettany (Chaucer), or unprejudiced commentary tracks in general, don’t purchase the extended edition. The regular DVD has every feature the “extended” edition does - it objective doesn’t insert the deleted scenes into the movie. They’re included as bonus features. This extended edition does not include the hilarious and insightful commentary track by Helgeland and Bettany, which is really the best thing about the DVD. You come by more features for less money by buying the regular DVD release.

Apparently audiences couldn’t quite figure out A Knight’s Sage when it had its theatrical release last year. This was in all likelihood due to the combination of rock music in dilapidated times clashing with our knowledge of history and our ravishing sensibilities. However, having both seen this at the cinema and owning it on DVD, I would like to hope that this movie will be given a second chance to acquire current viewers as it really is a qualified film and astronomical fun!

Heath Ledger (The Patriot) displaying broad charm and a winning smile throughout, plays William Thatcher, squire to a washed up champion jouster, who dies during a competition, leaving William to masquerade as his master in order to acquire their winnings. Aided by his initially less than enthusiatic pals Roland (Notice Addy from Fat Monty) and Wat (Alan Tudyk, 28 Days) William fakes nobility to illegally enter competitions. On their travels they encounter a naked wanderer, the future eminent author, Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany) who joins their `crusade’ and helps to forge William’s ancestral lineage, so that he can retract piece in the noblemen only games. Whilst competing (according to my wife who seems to like every Australian film star) the very shapely William catches the spy of a lady, Jocelyn (the very fair Shannyn Sossamon), and sets out to net her heart. However, standing between William and his two goals of winning the World Championships and winning the hand of Lady Jocelyn stands the dastardly Count Adhemar (brilliantly played by Rufus Sewell, Unlit City) .

This is a surprising change of direction for writer/Director Brian Helgelend (LA Confidential) . This movie is substantial fun and the mixture of rock music (they direct, clap and effect Queen’s We Will Rock You before each joust) and medieval times works surprisingly well, adding to the excitement and atmosphere of each competition. Both Heath Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon shine in their lead roles and fragment expedient on-screen sexual chemistry. However, it is Paul Bettany who steals most scenes as the occasionally naked, always in effort, lyrical Geoffrey Chaucer. Also discover out for James Purefoy in a relatively puny role (but tipped for greater things)!

Extra features on the DVD include a light-hearted commentary from Brian Helgeland and Paul Bettany, where they inform some of the FX tricks of the trade and hear Helgeland feign ignorance of the fact that they didn’t dance to David Bowie in 1366 or play Queen’s “We Will Rock You” at jousting tournaments. There is also a passable documentary and some generous deleted scenes and a music video where Britains most well-liked of unusual musical stars Robbie Williams performs Queen’s “We Are the Champions” with all the pomp and grandiosity of Freddie Mercury, outlining why he is considered natural heir to Mercury’s throne as Britains Greatest Showman.

Four stars for the movie (five stars are far too often and easily dispensed), four stars for the extras. Well worth checking out.

What he didn’t realize that in 1953 you couldn’t tumble in esteem with two women at the same time. He did anyway. He surely did know you can’t be married to two women at the same time. He lived in San Francisco & his marriage had become as cold as his business. He sold deep freezes.

Wife #1 of eight years, Eva was barren & had thrown herself into the business, neglecting Harry. On his weekly business slither to Los Angeles, Harry meets & becomes enthusiastic with Phyllis. In an disaster to revive their marriage Eva & Harry choose to adopt. Eva undergoes an attitude adjustment & their relationship improves. Unfortunately, Phyllis proves to be be very fecund. Because he loves her, Phyllis becomes wife #2. In an immodest amount of time, she has a baby. The movie implied to me that it would have been better had Harry merely kept Phyllis as a mistress. But because he tried to be a decent guy he got busted. It’s a most snide crime & justice (? ) will be severe. Ida Lupino serves double duty here & she’s one noble director. Her acting as Phyllis is very genuine as is Joan Fontaine as Eva. But the best perfromamce is Edmund O’Brien as Harry. He really shows some acting chops in this one. Ida Lupino had not gotten the recognition she deserved as the aesthetic director she was in her hold time. She is getting a petite now belatedly, thanks to TCM.

Ida Lupino, best known as a pragmatic, sensible, titillating actress of the 30s - 50s, usually playing tough but kind-hearted, hard-luck characters–HIGH SIERRA, ON Uncertain GROUND–was also a producer and an independent filmmaker. She acted in and directed a lot of TV too, into the 1970s. The half-dozen films she directed were mostly dramas, often about “controversial” subjects. THE BIGAMIST takes a rather stolid Edmund O’Brien, married to a supremely self-confident and classy Joan Fontaine in San Francisco, and since O’Brien is a traveling salesman whose job takes him frequently to Los Angeles, one thing leads to another and he pairs up with with working-class Ida Lupino in LA. THE BIGAMIST sets out to try to understand this ordinary hero who ends up married to two women. Sounds moving, and the film has a star cast: why is it such a wearisome experience, then?

Did you grow up watching the Three Stooges with Sally Starr? Or Officer Joe Bolton? Were you there for Batmania with Adam West? How about Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In? If the respond is “yes,” THE OUTLAWS IS COMING! (1965) is for you.

The Stooges’ Curly-Joe era gets a terrible rap, but I assume it’s unfair, as demonstrated by this fun & comical western starrring Moe Howard, Larry Radiant, Joe DeRita, Adam West (BATMAN), Nancy Kovack, Henry Gibson (LAUGH-IN), Emil Sitka, Don Lamond (Larry’s son-in-law), Mort Mills… and a group of children’s prove hosts from around the US, the same ones we grew up with, as the OUTLAWS! Despite their ages, the Stooges hilariously generate an astronomical amount of slapstick, director Norm Maurer (Moe’s son-in-law) directs in a casual yet memoir style, and mature Stooge screenwriter Ellwood Ullman delivers clever & topical gags. Henry Gibson spoofs the ’60s as a hippie native American. And, one year before he [climbed] to stardom as the Caped Crusader BATMAN, Adam West costars as the film’s hero. For adults, it’s a nostalgic lumber support. For kids, it’s a fun comedy. For everyone, it’s Stooge entertainment!

As a bonus, Columbia throws in the comic western spoof GOOFS AND SADDLES (1937) starring the current Curly, Curly Howard.

Sure, this movie doesn’t compare with the classic Three Stooges shorts, but it has its moments and provides a few laughs along the diagram. Moe, Larry and Curly-Joe, getting up in years, construct some of the classic chestnuts and a few recent routines with reasonable craftsmanship besides a decent supporting cast led by Adam West, Nancy Kovak, frequent stooge co-star, and a bevy of 1950’s and 1960’s local television hosts. Original York and Philadelphia audiences will fondly remember Officer Joe Bolton and Sally Starr respectively who hosted the afternoon Stoogefests on the local TV stations. Emil Sitka, a stooge regular, provides laughs as he takes on multiple roles. Adam West shows a bit of the wry humor that would net him fame as television’s “Batman” or more recently as the Mayor of Quahog on Family Guy.

This was the last feature film for the Stooges and they point to their age. Many stooge purists will dismiss the film as sub-par - and by unprejudiced standards, it ranks well below their best work. The key here is to devour the film for what it is: a helpful 90-some minutes of light entertainment that is impartial better than some more contemporary films that are repeated endlessly on broadcast or cable channels.

Harry Nilsson had a point and knew exactly what it was. This allegorical classic had a simple but dispute message–accept everyone for who they are and not force them to fit into a preconceived idea of who they should be. Oblio and Arrow his dog are banned from the town they live in. Why? Because the Immoral Count decides that anyone that can beat his son at a game (misuse of power) and looks different (Oblio’s the only child with a round head not a pointed head) shouldn’t be allowed in the town. He’s called pointless by the Count and others. But Oblio in Nilsson’s extended allegory finds that nothing is pointless least of all himself.

A charming film burly of knowing imagery, “The Point” remains a classic to this day regardless of which one of the narrators you heard when you saw it. For the represent, Dustin Hoffman was the fresh narrator. He was replaced by Ringo Starr and, then, finally Alan Thicke (of “Growing Distress” fame) . The narrator on the recent album was, of course, Nilsson himself. He would have done a enjoyable job of narrating this spellbinding classic but elected to go with a professional “actor” in each case.

There’s not noteworthy in the scheme of extras. We can go directly to each song which is a nice touch although including Nilsson’s current album (with his narration) would have been nice. Also, what about deleted scenes, a gallery of character designs and, perhaps, some footage of Nilsson himself? Ah well, perhaps next time.

The represent quality is quite grand although there’s some minor analog imperfections such as dirt and debris but, on the whole, the film looks remarkably obedient. The soundtrack recorded in mono has more presence than the videotape version. I would have liked a surround mix of the new songs but that would have required remixing the new album mastertapes and that’s probably not going to happen anytime soon. Also buy up Harry’s album of the same name. The reissue of Harry’s classic album supervised by Curtis Armstrong (yes, THE Curtis Armstrong of “Moonlighting Fame” and who gave a generous performance as the owner Ahmet Ertegunof Atlantic Records in “Ray”) includes two early versions of songs that ended up on the album as well as a replica of the unique booklet that came with the album.

I remember watching this cartoon almost 20 years ago - and then again, fair 2 years ago on a worn-out VHS. The message is simple yet to the point: In fact, everything has a point. And the music is so very challenging - from “Me and my arrow” to “Are you sleeping”. If you like Beatles - type music, you’ll appreciate this soundtrack. The cartoons are simplistic yet never insensible and may actually relieve in getting the message of this movie more clearly.

The movie starts with us being introduced to a village in which everything has a physical point. People gawk like coneheads. Dogs, homes - everything has a physical point. The birth of a boy with round head causes difficulty in the village which ultimately leads to him being banished. Most of the movie depicts Oblio’s adventures with his dog named Arrow in the “Pointless Forest”. After learning some principal lessons, he returns to his village. Rather than spoiling the ending, I’ll let you acquire out the outcome.

This DVD runs over two hours (134 minutes) and makes for a total of 4 hours of announce for a really decent ticket.

The only dilemma with the extra DVD is that if you assume the companion collection of Sid the Science Kid (Things Change), the extra Front Row DVD has exactly the same train. In other words all the extra Front Row DVDs in the Sid collections have the same recount. I was expecting each of the extra Front Row DVDs to have different issue on it, and was disappointed that the disks bear the same shows, so we have both of the objective released Sid the Science Kid collections (Change Happens, and The Bug Club) but two extra Front Row Disks containing the proper same mumble.

Still, a solid grasp for the tag, 4 hours of astronomical entertainment for the kids.

Great choose! We recently had a 17 hour flight to Europe with our 1 year outmoded and it kept her involved and jubilant for awhile. She loves the songs and watching the kids. I esteem that it teaches kids to ask questions and appreciate learning.

If you like to peep a movie that will sustain you on the edge of your seat with tall special effects and extraordinary, moral to life character interactions, I definitely recommend Ron Howard’s Backdraft. The interactions among all the actors approach across as very natural, as if all the actors where actually who they were playing, making the characters more believable. Not only are the characters believable, but the special effects that continue through out the movie, whether stout or runt, pull everything together to effect Backdraft one of the best films I have ever seen. The basis of this movie is that people around the Chicago situation are dying by device of these backdrafts. It is up to the arson investigator, played by Robert DeNiro to rep out what is going on. The other characters eager are two brothers who’s father died serving the same fire department they work for. Kurt Russell plays the oldest brother, Lieutenant Stephen ‘Bull’ McCaffrey,who has been with the force for many years, and William Baldwin plays the younger brother, Brian McCaffrey who impartial joined the force. Throughout the movie the two brothers battle conflict with each other relating to sibling rivalry among other things, and Brian ends up leaving the force to join the arson investigating office.. Other characters fervent around the two brothers are Rebecca De Mornay, who plays Helen McCaffrey, the ex-wife of Kurt Russell. Her portion is not that ample, but the importance of her character in regards to Kurt Russell is definitely noticeable, and the friendship that tranquil exists between them is easy to describe to. Jennifer Jason Leigh, who plays Jennifer Vaitkus, the ex-girlfriend of William Baldwin, has a bit of a larger role. Not only does she appear from William Baldwin’s past, but she now holds the set of Assistant to the Alderman, to whom many contacts will be made. Donald Sutherland, who plays Ronald Bartel, a extinct arsonist who understands the criminal psychology of pyromaniacs, gives insight to the arson investigation team, by sharing some of his beget stories of arson from his past. Scott Glenn plays the role as a fellow firefighter “Axe” Adcox. His character is that of a supporting brotherly figure, to which is not quite appreciated. Finally there is J.T. Walsh, who gives an good supporting performance as the sleazy Alderman Swayczak. He is responsible for making changes within the Chicago fire department that do not abet the department all that well. All of the actors work vast together, and seem natural among one another. These special effects, by far, fabricate the movie mesmerizing. Not only do you leer the fire as it threatens the characters and destroys everything in its path, but you procure to perceive an insight of how fire really moves, how it breaths, and how it can dance and screen with the wink of the gaze. One particular scene, where a building is on fire and the two brothers must go in after a exiguous boy, really give you the feeling of being up conclude and personal with the fire around them.. You feel the awe of being distress along the anticipation of trying to do the life of the tiny boy honest along side the characters. The combination of titanic characters and believable situations, obtain this yarn memorable. The myth, written by Gregory Widen, is not only paunchy of action, but in some situations, it shows how life really is.. Whether it is the friction felt by siblings trying to live up to counterfeit expectations of one another, or doing the honest thing when it comes to your job and your personal friendships, nothing in this tale appears impossible. Over all a gigantic combination of characters, actors and producer that accomplish one heck of a capable film.

This is actually a 2-disc “Anniversary” special edition.

I have always loved the Land Before Time, but I especially adore the seventh sequel. The sixth is okay for younger kids, but you are a mountainous kid such as I and want to contemplate a children’s film that is not too annoying or melancholy to glance, look either the first Land Before Time or the seventh sequel, because those are both profitable movies in my thought.

Purchased this item for my grandson (2 1/2 yrs.) who is obsessed with dinosaurs. He loves the Land Before Time series and sings along with all the songs. This is an age appropriate series for toddlers/pre-school. Teaches suitable behavior and jam solving. Would recommend.

An unshaven and weather-beaten young man sits brooding over a cup of coffee in an anonymous roadside café. A man of means by no means, as Roger Miller would establish it. But Al Roberts (Tom Neal) is king of no road, and by the kill of DETOUR we wonder whether he is even sovereign over his occupy soul.

A potential tear in the beget of a genuine trucker strikes up a conversation. Where you coming from? West. Where you going to? East.

Roberts is faulty, though. He’s coming from Hell and he’s going to Nowhere, and the last thing he needs is a chatty trucker along for company.

DETOUR is told in a flashback from that lonely stool. Roberts and his girlfriend work as pianist/singer in a fleabag club out east. Comes a foggy night and she splits up with him to pursue fame out west. Weeks later he calls and they agree to salvage succor together. He’ll advance out west and they can be married.

Being down at his heels Roberts is forced to hitchhike to California. All goes well until he reaches Arizona, where Fate deals Roberts one improper hand after another. In short order the innocent Roberts finds and feels himself a hunted man.

DETOUR is a extraordinary film. Neal is perfect as the spiteful young musician who finds himself trapped first by and accident and later by femme fatale Ann Savage, who know his awful secret and has no scruples against using it against him for her hold putrid purposes. Customary B-movie director Edgar Ulmer has enough tricks up his sleeves to surmount the Poverty Row studio conditions he was working under. If you’re a fan of film noir, or savor hard-bitten stories, you’ll be pleased DETOUR.

By the method, my thirty year outmoded first edition copy of The Film Encyclopedia had an consuming entry on DETOUR’S star Tom Neal. He received a law degree from Harvard University in 1938. Throughout the forties he appeared in a number of B-movies, usually cast as a tough guy. In 1951 he found himself in the middle of a cherish triangle piquant Franchot Tone and Barbara Payton. Neal “smashed” Tone’s nose and a scandal ensued. Neal became poison and no studio would utilize him, so he became a gardener and later established a landscaping business. In 1965 he was accused of murdering his wife. Able to expose that the gun went off accidentally, Neal had the charges reduced to manslaughter and served a six-year sentence. He died in 1971.

‘Detour’ manages to do in 67 min. what most films dream about in two hours. Made for almost nothing in 5 days by a small-time studio, this goes to expose that you don’t need money or gigantic studio befriend to develop an enduring movie. You can sense the tight budget all around. Hold into consideration for example that Ulmer shot a grand share of the film inside cars (observe how the first few cars have the driver’s seat on the left side, like English automobiles), a cheap nightclub and a creaky apartment. Also in the flashback sequence when Tom Neal is sitting in the restaurant, Ulmer simply establish out the lights, made a close-up on Neal’s face and shed a rectangular light onto his eyes to form the flashback conclude. All this techniques, while not very innovative, add to the enact of this bleak limited gem. A black petite drama that is deserving of it’s cult following. Tom Neal is the ultimate veil chump as an innocent man who happens to land on Ann Savage’s deadly lap. Ann Savage creates one of the most ruthless characters ever to grace the silver conceal, her character doesn’t have a shred of human kindness or decency, she’s tough, greedy, ruthless and relentless. It has all the elements of titanic noir; a truly memorable femme fatale, black foggy streets, acid-stingy dialogue and a hero who gets his unbiased desserts. A murky puny gem that deserves to be discovered by noir fans. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film an 8!
