Charlie Sheen is on board. I'm thinkin' that a hilarious plot would have Ricky �Wild Thing� Vaughn punching his father-in-law after a bad game and then having to sit in a ballpark jail cell while his teammates play the next game. Or is that too far-fetched?

So my mother grew up in the Bronx and when she was very young a friend of hers bragged that she was going to visit Ireland with her family. My mother retorted, "So what, we go to City Ireland every summer." I still can't help but call it City Ireland myself.

I'm taking a pass this year. Thanks for the invite.

Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz would be very different from a remake of the 1939 MGM The Wizard of Oz. I haven't seen either version of True Grit though, nor read the book, so I can't add anything more to this conversation.

No Hepburn?

Don Bluth was a prominent animator for Disney in the 60's and 70's before splitting off and creating competing company that put out several hits in the 80's. So yeah, he was a spawn of Disney.

Cute baby dinosaurs trek across a barren wasteland in search of the mythical Great Valley and learn a lot about not being prejudiced and working as a team along the way. I found it uneven over all. The animation is absolutely gorgeous at times and then crappy the next scene (the dinosaurs keep changing size!). Are they going for naturalistic-looking animals or cutesy anthropomorphic dino kids? And the plot is lifted from dozens of family films from Bambi to An American Tail (the latter not-coincidentally director Don Bluth's previous film). It ended rather abruptly too as if they needed to meet the running time. I expect kids aren't going to really notice the difference but I think this could have been a much better movie with a little effort. My son liked it. The Sharptooth was pretty scary for him and the death of Mother Longneck prompted lots and lots of questions. Well really everything prompted lots of questions. But he wants to watch it again. PS - Spike, the lazy stegosaurus who eats all the time, totally rules.

I gave stars based on how I liked it 25 years ago.

Wow, all that from a guy who sucks and should be traded.* *according to typical uninformed Mets fans.

I've been to Dingle too but alas not with Amy Adams or someone who looks like her.

One of my favorite movies of all time. There were times in my life when I could recite all the dialog. There was a demon that lived in the air....

If can play at a ski resort in the 1960's, it is no stretch for Poison to play at a ski resort in the 1980's.

I have a rule of thumb of avoiding movies with Alan Cumming in the cast as his main dramatic skill is making funny faces. Exception to the rule is Sweet Land, which is a pretty, simple movie in which he plays a supporting role.

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)
Willets Point replied to metirish's topic in Film Review Forum
First movie I ever saw in a movie theater when I was 3 1/2. I must've fallen asleep during it though because until I saw it again on tv years later* I thought they went straight from the trash compactor to the medal ceremony. * Life is so different now. Kids these days will never know that if you didn't see movie at the theater it would be years before you had a chance to see it again. -
Can I derail a thread or what?

Don't forget "Key Largo" by Bertie Higgins. I wish I could.

Got it in my head thanks to you.

The original documentary was rather bland & mediocre so I don't see myself too interested in a sequel.

Wait, you started this thread in May but you're only watching this movie now?

You're obsessed.
