This movie is THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!
26 June 1999
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! Amidala is cooler than Leia, Qui-Gon cooler than the old guy Obi-Wan, ect. What I mean is, these characters are better than the originals. Some people didn't like the movie because they tried to make it more enjoyable for kids. Being a kid, I disagree. I like the movie BETTER than the originals for that reason! Anyway, my advice:If you are, even in the tiniest bit, a Star Wars fan, SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!! It's great for kids, too. Ya-hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tarzan (1999)
Pretty good for a Disney Movie but.......
26 June 1999
I have noticed that a lot of people have come on here and said that Tarzan is the greatest movie since Lion King or whatever but I don't think so. It was a pretty good movie, yes, with OK animation, cute characters, OK story. A couple of flaws, though: 1.The music was AWFUL! Every Disney movie has a song sung by the heroine, and this one didn't. I think they should have had more songs sung by the characters themselves and not just be background music. Oh, yeah, and Trashin' the Camp- it's not even a song! SUCKY! 2.The villians in Disney movies lately have been really weak. They need to make them more mean! OK, now about the characters: Jane:She was really spunky and cute, I really liked her. Tarzan:Ahhhh....kinda so-so. They could've made him better. Kala:My favorite gorilla character. Really sweet. Kerchak:Pretty good charactor but too mean! Clayton:Really stupid! Jane's father:OK, just kind of a background charactor, more like. Terk: Rosie O Donnell at her most annoying yet! The elephant: OK, they could've done better with this one, too.

Thank you for spending the time to listen to my humble opinion.

Mulan (1998)
Pretty good!
26 June 1999
I liked it! Sure, the music was a little weak, Mushu was annoying, and the character of Shang was kind of like a pretty boy, but other than that, it was a really cool movie. Disney's usual best!

OK for a straight-to-video movie
26 June 1999
Most direct-to-video animated movies are pretty bad, but this movie is pretty good! The songs were pretty good, but I gotta admit that Upendi IS pretty bad. And I hate One Of Us, too! Whoever thought that would be a good song?! Love Will Find A Way and We Are One are the best ones. (My Lullaby sucks, too.) Kiara and Kovu are about the only good characters in it. Zira, Nuka and Vitani were enough to make me laugh! THESE are the villains? HA! The only one that I really liked at all was Vitani, because at the end she'd learned from her mistakes and was willing to make peace. But Zira? No! She was too caught up in herself to learn from her mistakes! Well, I guess you see my point.All in all, an OK movie except for those things.Thanks for reading.

Hercules (1997)
OK for a children's movie
26 June 1999
When I saw Hercules I thought it was very cute-cute characters, funny lines said by some of the characters, nice songs with a lot of beat! The only problem is that is was cute-but not normal Disney flick standards. The animation looked more like Saturday morning comics drawings than drawings for an animated Disney movie. And some of the songs(not all, but some)-BLECH! It's a cute movie if you like humor(or James Woods), or are a kid who doesn't care the quality of the animation. 3 stars out of 5.

Pocahontas (I) (1995)
I loved it
26 June 1999
I don't know what it was. Maybe it was because it was the movie that came right after a fantastic movie, Lion King. Maybe it was because I had never heard of the story before. Maybe it was just because the TV and everything were constantly hyping it. Whatever the reason, I loved Pocahontas. I loved the music, story, charactors-everything! I got like a thousand Pocahontas products-tapes,songbooks,regular storybooks,games and lots more than that, even! It was a great movie because it showed that girls can achieve great things, that somebody you might not think can do something just might be able to. Great movie!(Just one note: A couple of the kissing scenes you should probably fast-forward through when you're watching it with little kids.)Anyway, all in all, great movie, I recommend it!

Criminally sick!
26 June 1999
What I found most disturbing about this movie is its almost cult-like popularity with some gen-X fans. I know one young woman who owns the video and watches it on a regular basis. (She's seen it dozen of times.) She says its additively fascinating to her, something like watching an execution. Is it any wonder that events like the shootings at Columbine High are routine when blood drinking, sadism and homo-eroticism comprise acceptable "entertainment" for young people? It is frightening that in so many scenes the victim begs for mercy and is simply ignored, desensitizing the viewer to human suffering. The victim is not a person--he/she is "dinner." I found the scene where the young (naked) woman pleads for her life but is nevertheless turned over to a hungry vampire hoard particularly disturbing. The makers of this film should be jailed. Anyone who could create this sick stuff is truly deranged. What's next Anne? Filmed autopsies as entertainment? Secret films from the Nazi death camps? Animals being tortured to death?

This movie is so stupid it's funny!
26 June 1999
This movie is really stupid! My cousin LOVES it, and I don't understand why! What's so great about blood and vampires acting like they can kill anything cuz that's how they live? It was so gross I couldn't watch the whole thing.With 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, I give it a -5! Don't see this movie! Save yourself the aggravation and being disgusted! DON'T SEE IT!

Groundhog Day (1993)
Hilarious! I love this movie!
26 June 1999
Bill Murray is one of the funniest guys in the movies, and I think that this is his best! The best part is when That Ned guy tries to sell him insurance again and he socks him in the face! One of the best comedies of the decade! Yeah!

A great film for any age
26 June 1999
As many Disney fans may know, there are two(maybe more, I'm not sure)animated movies that came out in 1988, and they are:Oliver and Company and Land Before Time. Oliver and Company was a big flop, I've heard. Land Before Time is a lot better. My point is, just because a Disney movie and a non-Disney movie come out around the same time, it doesn't mean the Disney movie will necessarily be better. We found that out with LBT. Most of the sequels sucked, but the first one will always be a classic. About the only sequels I recommend are the 2nd one, the 4th one and the sing-along. Those are the only ones I personally liked.(Well, I haven't seen the 6th one, so if it's good or not you'll just have to find out yourself.) Well, I love The Land Before Time, and I love Littlefoot. He'll always be my favorite character. Well, I guess I've talked too long. Thanks.

Jane Eyre (1943)
Welles is wonderful to watch.
26 June 1999
I have loved this story since childhood, and seen most of its filmed versions, including those made for TV. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, but I think the best attempt (overall) is the recent offering from A&E.

However, when it comes to actors who have portrayed Rochester, there is none better than Orson Welles in this movie. His performance is more quiet, more subtle than most, but therein lies its power. Some Rochesters, like Timothy Dalton, make the mistake of expressing his torture with over-the-top bursts of shouting and anger. But Welles does not shout. He speaks softly; he quietly draws us into his world gone wrong. He is a man going quietly insane, out of control, unable to cope. It is easy to sympathize with his Rochester, to understand Jane's attraction to him (she's a rescuer),and to see why he would be attracted to a plain but emotionally-solid woman/child.

Not only does Welles fit Rochester best physically (many are too handsome), but he brings the eerie, metaphysical aspects of the book into his performance (destiny, soulmates, divine punishment for lust, etc). This gives the film the atmosphere of a ghost story.

Joan Fontaine's performance is wonderful too, though she is much too beautiful for Jane. Margaret O'Brien is by far the best Adelle ever portrayed.

If you like this story, don't miss the contemporary version of it, Rebecca. But don't waste your time on anything but the 1940 version, which stars Joan Fontaine again, with Laurence Olivier, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
