Inside Out, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Amy Poehler as Joy (voice) Phyllis Smith as Sadness (voice) Richard Kind as Bing Bong (voice) Bill Hader as Fear (voice) Lewis Black as Anger (voice) Plot:Extras:
My Thoughts: This is a fun animated film. And I like the idea behind it. Emotions as characters in the brain... running the life you live. I lke how this shows that even sadness is an important part of life. I can see how this film could help children understand that fact. And it is all done in an entertaining way. Well worth the time put in to watch it. Recommended!

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.85 Audio: English: Dolby Digital Surround, German: Dolby Digital Surround, French: Dolby Digital Surround, Italian: Dolby Digital Surround, Spanish: Dolby Digital Surround Subtitles: Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Spanish Stars: John Candy Mariel Hemingway Emma Samms Raymond Burr Dylan Baker Plot: Writer Jack Gable's (John Candy) soap opera has it all: deceit, trickery, sex, sex and more sex...and that's just behind the scenes! Candy (Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Splash) is hilarious in this laugh-a-minute daytime serial spoof which co-stars Mariel Hemingway (Manhattan), Emma Samms ("Dynasty"), Raymond Burr ("Perry Mason") and David Rasche ("Nurses"). When Jack clumsily bumps his head, he wakes up in the small town of Ashford Falls, the setting of his popular soap opera. But what begins as a nightmarish scenario turns into the opportunity of a lifetime as Jack finds he can control the events around him...by writing them! With typewriter at hand, Jack attempts to win the love of the show's beautiful "bad girl" (Samms) but while scripting his destiny with her, he keeps running into - literally - an accident-prone "good girl" (Hemingway). Will he able to win the coveted woman of his dreams? Will he win the coveted Daytime Emmy? Only one thing's for certain: his attempts to write his own ticket will leave you laughing Deliriously! Extras: Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: Even though this is not a particularly good movie, I always enjoyed it since I first saw it. We have Sledge Hammer as a soap actor playing a doctor. We have B5's Talia Winters as the hot nurse. And Clark Kent's date from Superman 4 as the romantic interest of John Candy's Jack. And a nice cameo by Robert Wagner. This movie feels more like a TV movie than a theatrical release. Rating: ![]() (From Tom's Random Reviews on March 29th, 2009) Xena: Warrior Princess Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd9. Death in Chains Hades, god of the underworld, asks Xena to undertake the task of freeing his sister - the embodiment of death - from the clutches of a greedy king who's captured her in order to give himself eternal life. My Thoughts: This episode is a bit of a mixed bag. While I found it to be a very fun episode... it is not without it's problems. Of course it's problems is part of the thing that makes this show fun anyway. For example it showed Xena throw her Chakrum at a tree and it works like a buzz saw on a huge branch. Even going as far as making the sound of a buzz saw. Another thing about this episode is it is very inconsistant. In the beginning it shows some people that are mortally injured and un able to barely move... but yet it show other while fighting keep coming at you... like Ha-Ha! Stab me again... I cannot die! But for the most part I just found the episode to be a fun! My Rating: ![]() 10. Hooves & Harlots Xena has a tall order to fill trying to prevent a war between the Amazons and the Centaurs; and Gabrielle finds herself with some pretty big shoes to fill when she's chosen to replace an Amazon princess who died in her arms. My Thoughts: This is the episode I been waiting for... this is the one where Gabrielle becomes an Amazon... and starts wearing that leather outfit... and doing some fighting herself. I didn't realize it was so close to the beginning of the series... I was thinking it was in the second season. Thankfully I didn't have to wait that long. This has always been one of my favorite episodes. I always thought they did the Centaurs good... it has a good story.,, and it somewhat changes the series from this point on. At least the character of Gabrielle. My Rating: ![]() 11. The Black Wolf Xena fights her way into a dungeon (on purpose) to rescue the freedom-fighting daughter of an old friend. My Thoughts: This is another episode I really enjoyed. Once again Xena uses her past to make some people believe she is still bad.I got a kick out of Gabrielle trying to get thrown in the dungeon. My Rating: ![]() 12. Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts At the behest of Helen of Troy, Xena goes to the embattled city to help end a 10-year war with the Greeks. But while trying to rein in the hostilities, she discovers a Trojan horse who's working with the enemy. My Thoughts: While I liked this episode... I didn't care for it quite as much as the previous few. But I really can't put my finger on why. The premise is a good one. It was kinda fun seeing Xena involved in the Trojon horse. But for some reason it just didn't work as good as it should have for me. My Rating: ![]() (From Xena: Warrior Princess Marathon on November 28th, 2009) |
