Friday the 13th 2, a review by GSyren
(From Reviews and ramblings by Gunnar on October 9th, 2013) The Last Unicorn, a review by Danae CassandraThe Last Unicorn Year of Release: 1982 Directed By: Jules Bass, Arthur Rankin Jr. Starring: Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow, Tammy Grimes, Robert Klein, Angela Lansbury, Christopher Lee Genre: Fantasy, Musical, Animation Overview:The Last Unicorn will reignite the hearts of its fans and entrance all who enter. My Thoughts: I adore this film. I've loved it since I first saw it as a child and I love it still. Yes, there is a certain nostalgia factor to this, but there are things we love as children that don't hold up as adults (the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon comes to mind). This does. It speaks to me now just as much as it did in the 80's. It has wonderful songs provided by America, and characters that are unique. I love both the tragic love story, and the one that isn't ... and that those who end happily aren't the beautiful people. It's a story of love, heroism, selfishness and sacrifice. It's also pretty true to Beagle's book, which I would highly recommend as well. For me, this is a nigh-perfect film, and a long-time personal favorite. I know it isn't truly a 5-star film, but I don't see it as anything less. Bechdel Test: Pass Mako Mori Test: Pass Overall: 5/5 (From July Movie Marathon: Musicals (Yes... You read right!) on July 24th, 2016) Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom
Plot: Get ready to be entertained by America's first family of fright. In this timeless, one-of-a-kind comedy series, the unforgettable family of The Munsters casts a hilarious spell that will keep you laughing through every new episode. This complete first season includes the never-before-seen pilot episode. The Munsters 1.01 Munster Masquerade Writer: Joe Connelly (Writer), Bob Mosher (Writer), Al Burns (Original Material By), Chris Hayward (Original Material By) Director: Lawrence Dobkin Cast: Yvonne De Carlo (Lily), Al Lewis (Grandpa), Beverley Owen (Marilyn), Butch Patrick (Eddie), Fred Gwynne (Herman), Linden Chiles (Tom Daly), Mabel Albertson (Agnes Daly), Frank Wilcox (Albert Daly), Lurene Tuttle (Mrs. Morton), Walter Woolf King (George Washington), Nina Roman (The Harem Girl), Paul Bradley (The 1st Guest), Berniece Dalton (The 2nd Guest), Roy Darmour (The 3rd Guest) A good first episode. Though these jokes will get repetitive throughout the series. Nonetheless I always enjoyed the Munsters when growing up. Rating: (From Tom's TV Pilots marathon on June 10th, 2012) |
