Mini-Review: Gets off to a rousing start, with the blaze beginning right away. But then it bogs down in the middle, and there are far too many gratuitous explosions (maybe that's the fire hitting all those champagne bottles). At times it looked too like the fire was actually getting smaller on the long shot! Anyway, the wrapup was pretty cool, and certainly put a different tone on the proceedings. Newman and McQueen are fun in their scenes together. And boy, did Chamberlain play a royal bastard! (lol)
Mini-Review: A female dog named Garcon?...lol Anyway, some good gags (along with babes on the vet hospital staff), ending with an adroit fighting sequence featuring a variation on the old "putting on the coat" routine.
Mini-Review: Getting what may well be the greatest cartoon series of them all off to a rockin' start, with a host of Acme miscues, that bird sticking his tongue out over and over again and even the laws of physics being contravened...anything to keep our good friend, the coyote, down.
Mini-Review: Sort of like the Spy vs Spy version of a Bugs Bunny cartoon...
Mini-Review: Definitely a fun one! You get to watch Bette spew out a host of great lines, like "It's a clip joint!" Plus there are great scenes played between two of the screen's alltime legends. And the final fade into the fog features a most ambivalent ending indeed, especially for the Hollywood of that era.
Mini-Review: Definitely better than I thought it was gonna be. Lots of laughs (the car radio singalongs, for example), wacky moments (the stag coming to life), and also quite a bit of heart as well. Okay, some of the goings-on left plausibility far behind, but it never really took itself too seriously so I didn't mind. And I was even able to put up with that nattering little smirkball David Spade for the duration (glad to see that he went bald at the end btw).
Mini-Review: Tremendous energy level, as usual with Bugs & Co, and great gags throughout, with Elmuh every bit as funny as his intended prisoner; although I did think the ending was a bit of a letdown...not for the usual wienie Sensitive Soul reasons that are (unfortunately) all too prevalent nowadays, but just because I thought it seemed tacked on (it was like they couldn't figure out how to end the darned thing, so they just went with a bit of hocus pocus out of a hat).
Mini-Review: The first half was pretty good, but the second half was...a bullfight. Good cast, but not a lot of point to the proceedings (unless you like watching Eddie Albert get drunk). Then too the Intoning Voice which bookends things is awfully pretentious. Not nearly as annoying as the book...but still, not much good.
