Looney Tunes: Back in Action, a review by Tom![]() Title: Looney Tunes: Back in Action Year: 2003 Director: Joe Dante Rating: FSK-6 Length: 88 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 2.40 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1 , German: Dolby Digital 5.1 Subtitles: English, German Stars: Brendan Fraser Jenna Elfman Steve Martin Timothy Dalton Heather Locklear Extras: Deleted Scenes DVD-ROM Content Featurettes Short Film: "Whizzard of Ow" Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: As I said, after watching Timothy Dalton in Hot Fuzz I had the urge to watch this movie, where he parodies his James Bond role.Also otherwise this movie is quite enjoyable. Steve Martin is almost unrecognizable in his role as the villain of this movie. This movie is a lot better than Space Jam. The first half of the movie is full of funny movie, Looney Tunes and WB references. The second half looses a bit, but it is still enjoyable. Rating: ![]() (From Tom's Random Reviews on November 29th, 2008) Three Outlaw Samurai, a review by AntaresThree Outlaw Samurai (1964) 64/100 - I'm picturing the board members of Shochiku Studios sitting around a big table sometime back in 1963 and discussing the fact that Toho and Akira Kurosawa were raking in boatloads of money with their tandem hits Yojimbo and Sanjuro and how could they get in on the gravy train too. The answer would become Three Outlaw Samurai. I can hear someone throwing the idea of taking elements of the two films mentioned and adding a pinch of story from Toho's other blockbuster Seven Samurai and you're bound to have a sure fire hit. But when all is said and done, it is only a moderately interesting chanbara film, entertaining, but lacking the fun or punch of any of those other three films. So let's go through the check list...first, you have peasant farmers who need to be defended. Seven Samurai...check. Then you have an evil, corrupt magistrate who is squeezing the poor peasants dry...Sanjuro... check. A ronin with masterful swordsmanship who comes to the aid of the peasants...YojimboSword of Doom. Finally, Isamu Nagato plays the humble samurai who closely resembles Shichiroji from Seven Samurai, not only in looks, but also in demeanor. What the color coding means... Teal = Masterpiece Dark Green = Classic or someday will be Lime Green = A good, entertaining film Orange = Average Red = Cinemuck Brown = The color of crap, which this film is (From Antares' Short Summations on March 7th, 2013) Farscape Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaDisc 1 Throne for a Loss ![]() My Opinion: This was an average episode. But it started another Farscape tradition: The usage of nicknames, especially by John. Disc 2 Back and Back and Back to the Future ![]() My Opinion: This episode represents what I like about Farscape. First they lure you onto a false track and then throw you in a completely different direction. By seeing the first "flashes" there was no way to predict how this episode would turn out. It's also fun to watch when the others talk about Crichton and come to the conclusion that the Humans must be a weird species. ![]() ![]() Disc 3 Thank God It's Friday ...
