Mini-Review: Cheesy and cheap. The human element is kind of awful, but the Kangaroo creatures look really good. Mathematically calculated based on what children of the 90's considered cool, it's probably only enjoyable for nostalgic reasons.
Mini-Review: Inept on just about every level. And Jeffrey Jones is unsettling in the worst way. Not even fun to laugh at, just an oppressive experience.
Mini-Review: A hysterically cruel black comedy about a man who lives vicariously through his son in a twisted way. Both Robin Williams and Daryl Sabara give hilarious performances. The conclusion crops up a little too abruptly, though fortunately it is the most appropriate and satisfyingly inevitable ending.
Mini-Review: Drains all of the fun out of the Power Rangers concept, trading in robots modeled after dinosaurs and mythical creatures for... cars. A boring plot made worse by shameful production value.
Mini-Review: Deren gives us a series of constantly fluctuating spaces in which the identity of the protagonist is the only constant, but even that is compromised when it's revealed that we may not have even been following one individual the whole time. Brilliant.
Mini-Review: Screw the haters. I think it captures the over-the-top action and silliness of the anime. Chatwin makes a pretty likable Goku from the first few scenes. I had a problem with the performances of Bulma and Yamcha at times, but Chow Yun Fat successfully channels the essence of Stephen Chow that I was hoping would be present in the film. A fun film that succeeds in its goal but has its flaws, which is much better than a movie that fails but has its moments. Can't wait for the Zequel.
Mini-Review: Probably my favorite children's film.
