“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” Movie Review
“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” Plot Summary
A toon hating detective is a cartoon rabbit’s only hope to prove his innocence when he is accused of murder.
A unique movie experience
‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ is a wonder in the art of making films. Because it mixes live-action and cartoons, it was a challenge to be made. But that’s exactly what makes it so distinguish and unique, especially considering that the idea works out so well. It’s a different and original movie experience, a real winner.
Yet, the film is more than a combination of live-action and cartoons. It has a dark atmosphere with lots of suspense, almost like a thriller. Classic humor isn’t forgotten either, with numerous funny lines and hysterical gags, as well as humorous characters. The joke about В«uncle ThumperВ» is one of the funniest, but there are many others. There’s also a hilarious piano acting with Donald Duck and Daffy Duck, which they play the same piano song as in Tom & Jerry’s short ‘The Cat Concerto’ and have their hilariously silly battle. In fact, the soundtrack of the movie is excellent, including Jessica Rabbit’s song ‘Why don’t you do right?’ and a suspense music very similar to one from the original ‘Back to the Future’.
Other movies that successfully mix live-action and cartoons are ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘Pete’s Dragon’ and ‘Bedknobs and Broomsticks’. Like ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’, those three movies combine this ‘marriage’ very well. On the other hand, other movies such as ‘Space Jam’ tried this idea but without the same success.
I believe that this movie was made in a unique moment of inspiration. The sceneries are great, the designs, the cartoons, the backgrounds, the details, the animation, the special effects, the artwork… everything was carefully made and I very much welcome that. This is one of the greatest live-action films from Disney.
Great actors make the difference too. Bob Hoskins is English but speaks with an excellent American accent, not to mention that he does the amazing thing of acting against the air. Joanna Cassidy, Charles Fleischer, Alan Tilvern, Stubby Kaye, Cristopher Lloyd and Kathleen Turner are awesome too. Kathleen Turner is the voice of Jessica Rabbit, with that sexy and sensual voice. And… guess what! Even the singer Frank Sinatra has a minor role in this film as the hilarious but useless Singing Sword. Even without looking at the credits, who wouldn’t recognize that great voice? Frank Sinatra’s voice is just as recognizable as Nat King Cole’s or Sterling Holloway’s.
As for the characters, the weasels are a perfect example of chronical stupidity. They’re humorous because they’re always laughing, even though they know what happens to someone who can’t stop laughing.
Marvin Acme is В«the king of the jokesВ», always humorous and cheerful and at his funniest with his mythical hand-buzzer. Angelo is an idiot, drunk and greedy guy, but funny at the same time. Dolores is a great character. R. K. Maroon is an interesting character with half a dark side and half a good side. Judge Doom is a great villain, humorous, mysterious and somewhat sinister. Roger Rabbit is hilarious and very jolly – that’s his only purpose as a cartoon, like he says himself. Jessica Rabbit is a very sexy cartoon, one of the most beautiful and sexiest ever – she’s not bad, she’s just drawn that way. Benny the Cab is funny. Baby Herman is a bit annoying – he might look innocent at first, but he is extremely rude and he loves to woo women. Eddie Valiant is another great character – grumpy, serious and funny sometimes. And he looks very much like my godfather in appearance.
The movie takes place in Hollywood, 1947. It does recreate the 40’s very well. That influence is notorious in many ways, including the cars used.
Before finishing, let me say that I like rabbits very much. They’re adorable and very cute animals, although in the cartoons they aren’t as cute – but they’re usually funny in cartoons.
This should definitely be on Top 250.

“Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over” Movie Review
“Spy Kids 3″ Plot Summary
Carmen’s caught in a virtual reality game designed by the Kids’ new nemesis, the Toymaker (Stallone). It’s up to Juni to save his sister, and ultimately the world.
A good kid’s movie with something for adults
I have not yet seen the first two in this series, but liked this film for what it is. First and foremost, this is a movie for kids. I went with two kids, one 8, the other 11. The younger one loved the movie and the 3-D aspect and couldn’t wait to log on to the website after she got home (difficult website, though, and she soon lost interest). The older one liked it also, but commented about the ‘Spy Kids’ series, ‘They keep getting dumber and dumber.’ Very young children might be scared by some of the flashy scenes and have trouble with the 3-D part. So, the target audience is pretty narrow, but there are a lot of 5-12 year-old kids out there with parents who need to chaperone them….Now, for adults, this is a lot less painless to sit through than most movies for kids. Ricardo Montalban, for my money, gives a splendid performance and just steals the show from everyone else involved. He gets off a few classic lines (‘I can do much, much more than that’) and, for those who know his history, a few references to his earlier screen incarnations (‘Don’t touch that, it is Corinthian leather.’) Obviously, the kids won’t appreciate his history, but he is an outstanding actor who fills his grandfather role nicely
Sylvester Stallone gives an amusing performance. Selma Hayek is pretty as always, though she doesn’t do much. After that, the supporting cast is pretty low-key. I thought Courtney Jines, who plays Demetra, gave a fine, laid back kind of performance that was perfect for the part. Nobody else really registered very strongly, the stars of the show are the situation and the special effects
The putative stars, the ‘Spy Kids’ themselves, are innocuous and no threat to win any acting awards. I can see why children relate to them, they are portrayed as average kids who are not superior beings or anything like that. Unfortunately, they also are quickly moving out of the ‘kid’ category, so I can understand why the people behind the series have said this is the last in the line
The 3-D gimmick worked for me. I stopped noticing the blue-red glasses after a while. Others say they strain the eyes, but they did not strain mine. I think it was a brilliant decision, although to tell the truth, the 3-D was not that big a deal. I have seen good 3-D, and this is minor league, but it was fun and something different for the kids
As for the plot, well, it involves entering a video game (as in the classic ‘Tron’ and so many subsequent films) and solving a problem. Other than that, it makes no sense, especially the resolution, but I’m sure nobody spent too much time trying to make the plot mean anything. It is fun and has a lot of color and action, so the kids will love it. This is sure to do blockbuster business on dvd as a gift to children. I laughed a few times, so it doesn’t have to be like going to the dentist for an adult, either. Recommended for kids and adults who have to see a kid’s movie with them.

The movie is great. I think it is wonderful how the SpyKids acted, they looked as if the situation was real! When I saw the first and second movie I got hooked. My family love it as well but I like it better than anyone in my family. I don’t understand how Alexa and Daryl could act so well!

“Extract” Movie Review
“Extract” Plot Summary
Joel, the owner of an Extract plant, tries to contend with myriad personal and professional problems, such as his potentially unfaithful wife and employees who want to take advantage of him.
One of the best comedies in a long time
I just got back from seeing this movie, and all I can say is two thumbs up. I left fully satisfied, money well spent on the price of a movie ticket. Lately the last few movies I saw were a bore including ‘The Goods’ staring Jeremy Piven. It seems now and days the directors are exaggerating comedic scenes to make people laugh if they can even accomplish that. They’ll repeat the same scenes over again because they have no other material to go off of. With Mike Judge’s new movie he does the complete opposite. He takes everyday scenarios of what most normal people go through and puts it in his movies. The viewers can relate to these and that’s what makes it hilarious. I can’t remember the last time I cried so hard from laughing. The actors picked for this movie did an outstanding job in their roles and came through to the end. Ben Affleck was the most surprising. Very pleased with his role, never thought of him as being a comedic actor but by far he did the best job. I definitely recommend this movie to any one in for a good laugh.

“The Stepford Wives” Movie Review
“The Stepford Wives” Plot Summary
What does it take to become a Stepford wife, a woman perfect beyond belief? Ask the Stepford husbands, who’ve created this high-tech terrifying little town, in a very modern comedy-thriller.
Colorful and comical remake.
Frank Oz’s remake of the classic 1975 thriller may be critically bashed by some, but is actually a very entertaining re-envisioning
Fired business woman moves to a small Conneticut village with her family, where she learns that the local housewives are acting very strangely
The Stepford Wives 2004 is one of the most cleverly done remakes around. Rather than try to capture the expectations of the original film, this remake looks at the already-familiar story in a whole new light as a dark comedy. Even more effective is the fact that this is a truly funny and well-written dark comedy! The direction is lavishly good, the film has some wonderful sets, a great music score, and a very stylish credit sequence
The great cast is yet another highlight. Lovely Nicole Kidman does an excellent performance as usual. While supporting cast Broderick, Midler, Close, Walken, and Bart make for some nicely colorful characters
Just why so many people dislike this film I don’t know, but it’s a remake that is worth being viewed before being judged. Some have come to like this version better than the original film.*** 1/2 out of ****

“Beverly Hills Cop” Plot Summary

My favorite Eddie Murphy film!
Every time I see Eddie Murphy the first thing that comes to mind is ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ and how wonderful of a movie this is. This film is possibly one of the best action-comedy films out there. The action is done extremely well, the comedy is right on, the characters are likable, the acting is fantastic, and the story is great
Eddie Murphy really shines in this role as Axel Foley, a very likable Detroit Cop, and does a fantastic job of laying out the groundwork for a great franchise, as does director Martin Brest. Judge Reinhold and John Ashton play Axel’s Beverly Hills counterparts. Both pulling off fantastic performances and playing very enjoyable characters. Ronny Cox also does a fine job with his role in the film. Bronson Pinchot and Paul Reiser also deserve some notice as well, despite having very little screen time, they both make the best of it. I’d also like to point a little known actor named Damon Wayans in the film, playing an extremely small part, but nonetheless a good one (he’s the man that gives Axel the bananas).
As I mentioned before the action and the comedy are right on and the scenes flows very nicely together, you never once get bored throughout the film. If you are one of the few people on this earth that hasn’t seen ‘Beverly Hills Cop’, I strongly suggest you watch this one. It’s a fantastic film and deserves to be seen. Hope you enjoy(ed) it. Thanks for reading,-LebowskiT1000

Enjoyable
I’m always up for a good ghost story, and this i found worth the time and effort of watching
Mike Fox was very good. One of his best performances, i thought. A good solid adult role playing a shuckster making not-your-normal living. The character definitely had one of the stranger ways of paying-the-bills in moviedom
And Combs was a hoot and a half. Think Dr. Herbert West if the wacky doctor had gone into law enforcement instead of reanimating bodies
Busey did a very nice job of being the homicidal maniac. He left no doubt that his character was a total nutcase
Usually i’m not so impressed by movies being shot in New Zealand as for some reason, tackiness is sometimes an unintended result. But for this movie, the New Zealand location worked very well
I liked the art design on the movie case. It fit the movie to a tee
Actually worth watching? Sure. It’s a good story told with good production values and good performances by the actors. It’s one of my favorites and i have my own personal copy which i pull out and have fun re-watching every once in a while.

Not Warm and Fuzzy but it IS Great ~ Don’t Miss This
I didn’t know what to expect with this one. I was pleasantly surprised as well as shocked. Adam Sandler met and surpassed any expectations I would have ever had with a dramatic role
This film will take you through an emotional roller coaster and because of it’s execution, you won’t even mind. The story itself is too painful to imagine but the range of emotions are very understandable. You can’t help but feel something for both of the leads but the story is clearly focused on Sandler. Adam delivers a more than capable performance in a VERY demanding role
Whatever you were/are expecting from this film, expect more. Set aside two hours and prepare to involve yourself. I was actually disappointed when it ended because I wanted more story. How often can you say that?

Loved it.
I really really like this movie
Slapstick at its best
It is my favorite of the series. It goes over many peoples head and they see it as dumb and corny and they don’t have reality of what the movie is doing
It is corny and dumb but with genius and Mike Meyers is a genius at comedy and in my opinion this movie is the pinnacle of that genius
All of his movies lead up to this, his last great movie. I loved it! This movie is all over the place. From a very good musical in the jail to peeing next to the statue
From the incredibly funny fight scene with MINI ME to the scene with Fuk Mi and Fuk yu
Very very funny! The Goldmember and Fat Bastard scenes are classics to watch for years to come
I stated in an earlier review that Step Brother with Ferrel was my second favorite comedy. but I would have to switch that with this one.

“Donnie Brasco” Movie Review
“Donnie Brasco” Plot Summary
An FBI undercover agent infilitrates the mob and finds himself identifying more with the mafia life to the expense of his regular one. add synopsis
A genius, genius movie! One of the best in gangster genre
Johnny Deep plays an FBI agent Joe Pistone by the name Donnie Brasco infiltrates a New York mafia. Lefty Ruggiero played by Al Pacino acts like a mentor and even more as a father to him as Donnie/Joe goes deeper and deeper in the mafia world which will cause his life to become total dump
The performances are excellent at best. Johnny Deep plays a good and honest man turned into a rough wise guy by the underworld perfectly. This is IMO one of Al Pacino’s best performances. The chemistry between him and Deep is genius! Michael Madsen is possibly the most underrated actor ever! He was genius in this, if not Oscar worthy
Now the best thing is the writing. There are sooo many things that don’t have anything to do with the story but make the movie much more interesting. The dialog is very natural. It doesn’t have the over the top amount of F words like Casino or cheesy one liners like Scarface
All in all an excellent gangster movie that’s not just for fans of gangster movie but mainstream audience.
