Overview
My thoughts	Well, what can I say about Trog? For a long time I hesitated to buy it. I knew it was bad. But in the end I couldn't resist. It's Joan Crawford's last feature film. I must say she was a trooper. There is no indication that she gave it any less than all she could. I can't say the same about Michael Gough. He can be a great character actor, but when he hams it up, he really hams it up. Freddie Francis had his ups and downs as a director, but this is one of his lesser accomplishments, to put it kindly. The only one that I can think of that might be worse is The Deadly Bees2001: A Space Odyssey

How to Train Your Dragon, a review by Dragonfire

I went to see How to Train Your Dragon last week.  I did see the 3D version. 

I love animated movies in general and usually see the new ones, though sometimes I have to wait until they get to DVD.  I have liked DreamWorks animated movies, but I haven't thought that any of them - even Shrek - was anywhere as good as Pixar's movies.  The last few movies that DreamWorks has made have been better and that includes How to Train Your Dragon.  The story works well and has more heart than any of DreamWorks's other animated movies.  It seems like more time was given to developing the story.  The connection between Hiccup and Toothless the dragon is what adds the heart to the story.  Some of what happens is a little predictable, but it is also very fun and entertaining overall.  The animation is very well done and there are some absolutely beautiful scenes involving flying.  The characters are interesting, though many of them are more flat since they don't receive much attention.  The voice cast does fine with the parts even though it is slightly odd for 2 of the Vikings to have Scottish accents. 

 

I did get a review posted on Epinions if anyone wants to take a look.

Although this is not a series which I think is a must-see, I enjoyed all the episodes I have seen so far. Too bad that the season sets aren't selling that well, as it seems. The first set (which included the first two seasons) was released almost five years before the second set with the third season was released. I hope I get the chance to watch further seasons. This season had an ending which made me curious about how it will play out.
