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!

Michael Keaton heads an all-star cast in this wild and crazy comedy about four mental patients who get separated from their therapist on the way to a baseball game.

Billy (Keaton), a pathological liar with a violent streak, finds himself on the loose in New York City with his fellow group therapy patients: Henry (Christopher Lloyd), a neat freak; Jack (Peter Boyle), a former advertising executive who thinks he's Christ; and Albert (Stephen Furst), a near catatonic couch potato. Faced with the task of rescuing their missing doctor from a pair of crooked cops, the group finds themselves sharing a series of hilarious adventures in this farce The Washington Post calls an "irresistibly nutty buddy movie."

Extras:
Scene Access
Feature Trailers


Comedy about 4 mental patients out on a day pass to go to a Yankees game but never make it as their doctor goes missing.

Not bad, but not great. The movie isn't nearly as good as some of the individual performances. Peter Boyle, who thinks he is Jesus Christ is a hoot!  Christopher Lloyd was the perfect choice to play the obsessive compulsive neat freak. He was funny but also had a touching moment or two as well. While there was nothing special about Lorraine Bracco's performance she is gorgeous in this early role, the first time I've seen her without the BIG hair.

Michael Keaton headlines this but he was the same as he was in so many of his comedies from the 80's... hyper, outlandish, smart ass and also with BIG hair.

This was ok but if you want to see a better comedy about mental patients gone awry I recommend Crazy People with Dudley Moore.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Marathon, a review by DJ Doena

Synopsis: It's the birthday of Kira's mother who died during the occupation when Nerys was 3 years old. But then Dukat contacts her from an unknown location and claims to have known her mother and that they even were lovers. That unnerves Kira so much that she uses the Orb of Time to look into events that happened nearly 30 years ago. And there she finds a Kira Meru she didn't expect.

My Opinion: It must be hard to have an idealistic image of someone that gets not only crumbled to ashes but turns into an perverted inversion of that image. She was a collaborator and I believe that's the one thing Nerys can't forgive. Unfortunately they will never pick up on that topic again, it was a "one gig only" kinda thing.

Synopsis: A security breach has happened, someone transmitted secret information from the station to the Dominion. Deputy Director Sloan from Starfleet Security investigates all of the senior staff. Soon his prime supsect becomes Bashir who has quite an impresive number of "coincidences" in his history.

My Opinion: Ah, Sloan and "Section 31" (the Federation's secret intelligence service). Finally. It was interesting to see how Sloan tried to trick Bashir into admitting that he was a collaborator and how Bashir dismissed it out of hand despite the presented "evidence" and even after "Weyoun" "rescued" him.

Synopsis: The war gets worse with every week. Even Betazed has fallen to the Dominion's advance. Sisko and Starfleet devlop a plan to convince the Romulans to join the war. But for this they need Garak and Garak has his won ways in doing things and these ways are most certainly not in accordance with the self-perception of the Federation.

My Opinion: This was certainly one of most interesting episodes of the entire show because everything was so morally ambiguous. Garak hit the spot as he explained to Sisko why Sisko came to him. "The first victim of war is the truth." This sentences matches perfectly to this episode. And I really liked how hard it was for Sisko to bend the truth so much. But there was nothing to be gained by telling the truth after Garak had killed the Romulan.
To every critic of this episode out there: Yes, this episode had nothing to do with Roddenberry's vision of a Federation full of perfect people who will do always the right thing bud sadly there will always be a "necessary evil".

Synopsis: Bashir has brought a new holosuite program to the station: Vic Fontaine. Vic is more than your run-of-the-mill program, for starters he's aware of being a program and he has basic computer access - he can end his own program, can communicate with people outside the holodeck. And he's a ballroom singer.

My Opinion: I said I have no interest in Odo's love life but I still liked this episode a lot because it was so lovely how Vic played the "matchmaker" (I have a weaknes for romance movies you know). And Vic has a nice singing voice, too.
Vic Fontaine is a homage to Frank Sinatra and was played by James Darren (T.J. Hooker) who's a good friend of Frank Sinatra jr. and he will re-appear in that role from now on.
