My Thoughts:

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I liked the strong female lead character. Though I will say it isn't quite the movie I was expecting...I somehow had the misconception that this was a Mulan type film with her going to fight a war. But I found the film to be a lot of fun to watch... I really got a kick out of her 3 little brothers. This one is well worth the time put in to watch it.

Review
       Many years ago when my wife convinced me one Saturday night at Blockbuster to rent this film, I can honestly say that I was very apprehensive about viewing it. I have never been a fan of musicals or films about dancing per se, so the thought of planting myself in front of the TV to watch an entire movie based on the theme of ballroom dance contests kind of wilted me. But to my surprise and joy it turned out to be a very well written little satire on the world of competitive dancing. Directed by Baz Luhrman, Strictly BallroomStrictly Ballroom could be easily attached with the sobriquet, Ratings Criterion

Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom


     The Addams Family: Volume One (1964/United States)
IMDb | Wikipedia

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment (United States)
Length:564 min.
Video:Full Frame 1.33:1
Audio:English: Dolby Digital 1, Spanish: Dolby Digital 1
Subtitles:English, Spanish


Plot:
They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, and now for the first time, they're on DVD! The Addams Family, America's first family of ghastly giddiness, are here in all of their ghoulish glory in the original TV series based on the delightfully demented imagination of Charles Addams. Tarantulas, torture racks, and tombstones have never been so much fun! Join Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Cousin Itt, and the rest of the gang for a fiendishly funny and altogether ooky experience. It's time to pay a call on...The Addams Family!

The Addams Family
1.01 The Addams Family Goes to School
Writer: Seaman Jacobs (Writer), Ed James (Writer), Charles Addams (Original Characters By)
Director: Arthur Hiller
Cast: Carolyn Jones (Morticia), John Astin (Gomez), Allyn Joslyn (Mr. Hilliard), Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester), Ted Cassidy (Lurch), Blossom Rock (Grandmama), Lisa Loring (Wednesday), Ken Weatherwax (Pugsley), Madge Blake (Miss Comstock), Nydia Westman (Miss Morrison), Rolfe Sedan (Postman), Itself (The Thing)

I always enjoyed this series when I caught it on TV. But it is not a series I can watch many episodes after another. This is why I still have my volumes 2 and 3 unwatched.
The canned laughter was especially annoying here. I am already quite used to series without laugh track.
