Band of Brothers (2001)
OK, but...
I don't think there was enough character development, I found it hard to remember who was who. I also thought the music was distracting and annoying (we know war is horrible and dramatic without the orchestra shouting at us).
The most compelling parts are the real paratrooper veterans' reminiscences at the beginning and end of each episode.
Penny Serenade (1941)
I love this movie!
This is one of my favorites, partly because I identify so strongly with the couple early in the movie (being an adoptive mom myself). The tragic plot twist that happens later probably wasn't that uncommon in the thirties and forties (remember antibiotics weren't so available then).
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Boring!!
This movie consists mostly of incredibly stupid people running around yelling until they get eaten. Even my nine-year-old son was bored! In his words, "Growl growl, help help, big whoop!" Mostly a case of Darwinism in reverse.
VeggieTales: Madame Blueberry (1998)
My son disagrees!
We own all the Veggietales tapes, and my son says "The Cheeseburger Song" is his very favorite Silly Song, because the melody is catching and the lyrics are nice. Personally, I think it can't hold a candle to "The Yodeling Veterinarian".
