Mickey's House of Villains, a review by addicted2comics

The Plot: The villains from the popular animated Disney films are gathered at the House of Mouse with plans to take over. Soon, the villains take over the house and kick out Mickey, Donald and Goofy. It's all up to Mickey and his friends to overthrow evil and return the House of Mouse to normal--or as close to normal as it get's.

My Thoughts:

While I'm still young enough to stomach the playfulness and innocence of this show, I decided to write a review. Then again, who's too old for Mickey and the gang? It's classic! Off the bat, I have to say its a fun movie. Great for the kiddies. Otherwise, its really worth a few laughs. Some shorts I think you all may especially enjoy is "How to Haunt a House" and "Donald's Halloween Scare". Putting Mickey against all the Disney villains is an interesting idea, and there is but one musical number - a rockin one at that!

But, oh - - - the Dance of the Goofys?!?!?! The worst of the shorts by far, if not for anhy other reason than seeing Goofy in skin-tight leotards.

Synopsis: She's an american actress who's gotten 15 million dollars for her last movie. He owns a travel book store and earns nearly nothing. But one day their paths cross and they virtually run into each other. And then she kisses him! But is this going to work? She, known by the whole world? Him, whose name is sometimes forgotten even by his mother? In London's Notting Hill their fate will be decided.

My Opinion: I love Julia Roberts in both her romantic movies as well as her more serious roles (e.g. Erin Brockovich). What I especially liked about this movie was, how they portreyed the gossip's part of the life of a star. I - personally - couldn't care less what they do outside the big screen. If I were the only consumer in the world all the gossip magazines would go bankrupt. The only time I'd really care would be when one of these beautiful actresses would fall in love with me.

Tom's Buffy and Angel Marathon, a review by Tom

17. Passion (1998-02-24)
Writer: Ty King (Writer)
Director: Michael E. Gershman
Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers), Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris), Alyson Hannigan (Willow Rosenberg), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase), David Boreanaz (Angel), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers), Robia LaMorte (Jenny Calendar), Richard Assad (Shop Owner), James Marsters (Spike), Juliet Landau (Drusilla), Danny Strong (Student), Richard Hoyt Miller (Policeman)

A great episode! With a few scenes I always found very powerful: Angel killing Jenny. Giles finding Jenny. The phone call were Buffy and Willow learn that Jenny is dead. And the scene outside of the factory after Buffy saved Giles.

Rating:
