My Thoughts:
I was looking forward to this movie, but sadly it did not meet my expectations. It is a nice movie, nothing more, nothing less. I think Robin Williams as Genie is not such a good choice like I first thought. I couldn't help myself but constantly see Robin Williams instead of a character. It is very noticable that the character was build around him.The animation is good. Also the song "A Whole New World". The music is not as catchy as other Alan Menken songs.

Stars:Plot:
With some of the most iconic imagery ever committed to film, this "exceptionally beautiful specimen of movie-making" ('The New Yorker') is recognized as a modern masterpiece and "a landmark in late twentieth-century art" ('Time Out London').
Actress Elisabet Vogler (Liv Ullmann) has stopped speaking and withdrawn completely. Under doctor's orders, she's taken to a remote seaside cottage by a nurse, Alma (Bibi Andersson). Alma chats to fill the silence and gradually begins to lay bare her entire identity... until she discovers it is being coolly sucked away from her. As the women battle for control and sanity, the question becomes not which of them is patient and which is caregiver, but are they two separate women at all?

"Friends" Marathon, a review by Rogmeister
Friends, The Complete Second Season Continues...
The One Where Ross Finds Out--While on a date (and somewhat inebriated), Rachel calls Ross on the phone and leaves him a message revealing her feelings for him. Ross gets the message the next day while with Rachel. Meanwhile, an out-of-work Monica helps work Chandler out so he can drop a few pounds. One nice thing about the "Friends" DVDs is they add in some footage that wasn't there in original airings so, not only do you get footage cut for cable or syndicated airings but you get footage you never saw to begin with. Seeing this episode, for instance, we see Ross and Julia at a pet store about to buy a cat...I can't recall if this scene was in the original airings or is one of those bonus bits thrown in for the DVDs.
The One With The List--Ross can't seem to choose between Julie and Rachel, so Chandler urges him to make a list (on Chandler's computer) listing the pros and cons of both. When Rachel discovers this, naturally all hell breaks loose. Monica, still looking for work, agrees to a test with a firm, making dessert treats with a new chocolate substitute called Mockalate. "This is what evil must taste like!", exclaims Phoebe after trying one of her treats.
The One With Phoebe's Dad--During the Christmas season, Phoebe learns where her dad (who abandoned her mother and her years ago) now lives and takes off for there in her grandmother's taxi, accompanied by Joey and Chandler. Special bonus in this episode...Gunther speaks for the first time! Okay, he only says about a word and a half but I'm confident he'll be speaking full sentences by the end of the season! Meanwhile, Monica and Rachel host a Christmas party, despite the fact that Ross has broken off the knob on their radiator and now it can't be shut off, making the room about 90 degrees...
