1) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Review: You believe the grill actually exists the search for the cup of Christ is the search for the divine in all of us but if you want facts Indy I've none to give you my age I'm prepared to take a few things on faith we're about to complete a great quest but began almost 2,000 years ago the Holy Grail dr. Jones the chalice used by Christ during the Last Supper the cup that caught his blood at the crucifixion and was entrusted to Joseph of Arimathea the earth religion I've heard this bedtime story before this is the manuscript in which the friar chronicled the Knights story it doesn't reveal a location of the Grail I'm afraid but the knight promised the two markers that have been left behind would this tablet is one of those markers it proves the Knights story is true our project leader has vanished along with all his research I want you to pick up the trail where he left off find the man and you will find the Grail why don't you try my father we already have your father is the man who has disappeared you have your father's eyes at my mother's ears Jenya don't call me that please after the German Army's on our tail and you want me to go to Berlin into the Lions Den equation for the Grail there's no naki about you it's race against evil if it is captured by the Nazis the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the earth Germany has declared war on the Jones laws [Music] trying to kill I know see all the time where's my father they have them in the belly of that steel feast [Music] Henry George Jr like Indiana renamed the dog Indiana rod named after the dog [Music] on 24th of May 1989 Indiana Jones returns at a big screen in the Last Crusade arriving first in the USA it made its way across to the UK in June and throughout the rest of the year worldwide with Raiders of the Lost Ark costing just under twenty million dollars The Last Crusade clocked in at nearly 50 million with Indiana Jones already proving a huge success twice with audiences the at the time final entry in the series followed suit and made 474 million dollars worldwide the film was met with rave reviews from critics and fans alike despite comparisons being made to Raiders of the Lost Ark with returning characters and similar plot beats 1989 was a year of sequels and new franchises Tim Burton's Batman pretty much dominated the box office although Batman was the most popular film in the USA that year worldwide The Last Crusade took the crown was the most successful film earning 16 million dollars more at the box office factor in Batman's heavy sales in merchandise though and it was the most profitable property of that year it seemed after the failed toy range based on Raiders toy manufacturers gave up on optioning merchandise on the film series there were of course whips hats and jackets available so you could dress up like Indy but toys were very much a thing of the past for this franchise luckily plenty of video games were available based on the Last Crusade which will be discussed later for the last Crusades video release which came with diet coke promotions director Steven Spielberg had campaigned to get his film released in widescreen on VHS as he hated how he's filmed her pan and scan to fit the TV aspect ratio this was also highlighted by Siskel and Ebert in 1990 but paramount would not budge as many people didn't like having black borders at the top and bottom of the picture so Steven had to settle for having his film available in widescreen on laserdisc which was always the preferred format to watch movies as originally intended 1980 Falls the Temple of Doom despite being popular at the box office wasn't the film many had wanted his stark nature and change of tone have resulted in some lukewarm reviews Lucas and Spielberg really wanted to rectify that and return to the spirits of Raiders and for Indies final adventure they wanted to go out with a bang Lucas had initially suggested the idea of having the third movie be set in a haunted mansion encountering a ghost who reveals a Fountain of Youth in Afric spielberg wasn't keen on this i did because it bore similarities to his 1982 film poltergeist lucas went ahead anyway and completed an eight-page treatment titled indiana jones and the monkey king the story saw indiana encountering a ghost in scotland before finding the Fountain of Youth in Africa and going up against tribal cannibals Spielberg had produced a number of successful films throughout the 80s on brought on Chris Columbus had written gremlins The Goonies and young Sherlock Holmes he would expand on George's treatment introduce a bunch of new characters to torn Indiana on his quest and bring back the Nazis for him to battle Columbus further refined his script while the production team started scouting for locations in Africa but everything was halted due to Spielberg and Lucas having reservations because of its possible negative depiction of African natives and because they felt the script was too unrealistic it was moving into the realms of fantasy and further away from granted reality of the character Spielberg suggested the idea of introducing Indiana Jones father Henry Jones senior as the main focus of the plot but Lucas was dubious believing the Fountain of Youth should be the main direction Spielberg convinced him in the end that the father-son relationship would serve as a great metaphorical backdrop to Indiana's search for the artifact Spielberg wanted to develop easily ideas and bought on the writer of his 1985 film the color purple instead of the Fountain of Youth the quest became the hunt for the Holy Grail Spielberg was a bit wired with the idea of the Holy Grail as he didn't want people to think of Monty Python he depicted Indiana searching for his father in the South of France where he meets a nun and a relationship develops Indiana travels to Venice takes Orient Express to Istanbul and continues by train to Petra where he meets Salah AM unites with his father then together they find the Grail a lot of this material would end up in the final draft in some form or another the ending in this script was a lot different what was finally in the movie at the climax are Nazi villain touches the Grail and explodes when Henry chapters it he ascends a stairway to heaven the ending was dropped and later changed to a battle with a demon at the Grail site where he defeats it with a dagger inscribed with God is King a prologue was introduced to the movie where we are shown Indy at a younger age Spielberg suggested making Indiana a boy scout as both he and Harrison Ford were former Scouts this sequence was set up a number of moments that demonstrate how he became the man we know today Spielberg felt that the script needed further revisions and suggested Innerspace writer Jeffrey bow Jeffrey spent two weeks reworking a story with Lucas which yielded a treatment that is largely the final film Jeffrey told George that Indiana should find his father in the middle of the story as the previous films ended with Indiana obtaining the objects I didn't want to follow a similar pattern Jeffery felt it would be best for them to lose the Grail and let the father-and-son relationship be the main point it was a search for Indies own identity and coming to accept his father than being a quest for the Grail which is the direction Steven Spielberg really wanted to go for the cast we have many returning characters of course house on Ford is back as Indiana Jones he was very happy with the direction of the story he loved the idea of introducing Indies father because it allowed him to explore another side to Indiana's personality Lake River Phoenix was cast as indeed in his teenage years Phoenix had played the son of Ford's character in the Mosquito Coast Ford recommended Phoenix for the part he said that of the young actors working at the time Phoenix looked the most like him when he was around that age also Phoenix does a really good job of capturing Ford's mannerisms owned to the positive reaction to the movies prologue George Lucas was inspired to develop the young Indiana Jones chronicles TV show which lost it for three seasons running from 1992 to 93 Sean Connery was cast as Indies father Professor Henry Jones a professor of medieval literature who cared more about looking for the Grail than raising his own son Spielberg had always had Connery in mind when he suggested introducing Indiana's father Spielberg had been a fan of Connery's work as James Bond and felt that he was the perfect choice a Spielberg always wanted to direct a James Bond film and the Indiana Jones movies were his window into that and having James Bond played in his father was ideal Connery initially turned the role down as he's only 12 years older than Ford but he was eventually persuaded Connery as a student of history began to reshape the character and revisions were made to the script to address his concerns he improvised a line she talks in her sleep which was left in because it made everyone laugh on set Irish actor Allison Doody plays doctor Elsa Schneider on Austrian art professor who is in league with the Nazis but has her own desires on the Grail she manages to seduce the Joneses in her attempts to gain more information on the Grails location Doody started her career in modeling and got a first screen role in a view to a kill before she appeared in the Last Crusade she also starred along pierce brosnan in caffeine well goes on in this town is none of your business as long as I'm living here it is maybe [Applause] denim Elliott returns as dr. Marcus Brody Elliott returned dr. Spielberg sought to recapture the tone of Raiders following the character's absence in Temple of Doom also John rhys-davies is Bacchus Salah Julian Glover was cast as Walter Donovan an American businessman who sends the Joneses on their quest for the Holy Grail Donovan secretly works for the Nazis and desires immortality I'm sure Star Wars fans will recognize him from the Empire Strikes Back where he played general veers kavik Malakian plays Kazim the leader of the Brotherhood of the cruciform sword an organization that protects the Holy Grail malakian had impressed below that with his performance in Midnight Express and last but not least we have the late Robert Edison as the gray or Knight the guardian of the ground who drank from the cup of Christ during the Crusades and is immortal as long as he stays within the temple Edison was 80 years old at the time and majority of his career was spent on stage he had worked in TV but had smaller roles in film he was nervous but excited about taking the role and often questioned his performance between tanks but he had nothing to worry about despite his small role he left a lasting impression principal photography began on May 16th 1988 and the shooting lasted for 163 days with the increased budget the number of shooting locations also grew making use of Spain Venice Germany Jordan Utah California Texas Colorado and England where most of the interior locations were created at Elstree Studios around this time Spielberg was shocked to learn that cannon films was planning to sell the studio cannon was bleeding money and needed to cut their losses Asuna had been operating at a loss for a while Stephen felt it was going to be a major blow to the UK film industry if the studio was lost to redevelopment a large chunk of the studio was later sold and the lots were torn down and replaced with a Tesco supermarket when Spielberg and editor Michael Kahn started working on a rough cut the film in late 1988 I thought the movie suffered from a lack of action so they included a motorcycle chase during post-production miss Skywalker Ranch to finish off the movie Spielberg needed something extra to say goodbye to the series so they went and shot Indiana Henry Salah and Brody riding off into the sunset in Texas in early 9 in 89 [Music] the film is set two years after the events of Raiders India's returned from another adventure and is swamped with school papers to grade he can't handle the stress and escapes from his office he is approached by a group of men who work for Walter Donovan water is a collector of ancient artifacts and has an obsession with finding the Holy Grail very much like Indies father Indy suggests he contact his father but water informs him he has gone missing he was already on the case looking for it for Donovan using an incomplete inscription as his guide Indy heads to his father's home and finds it trashed as if someone was searching for something he then remembers that he received a parcel which turns out to be his father's Grail diary mailed from Venice realizing that he would not have sent the diary unless he was in trouble Indian Marcus traveled to Venice where they meet Henry's Austrian colleague dr. elder Snyder beneath the library where Henry was last seen Indian Elsa discover the tomb of the First Crusade Knight which also contains a complete version of the inscription that Henry had used revealing the location of the Grail they flee when the catacombs are set aflame by the Brotherhood of the cruciform sword a secret society that protects the location of the Grail to avoid it falling into the wrong hands about chase ensues with Indy captain Kazim in details chasm that his goal is own to find his father that he has no interest in finding the Grail cousin tells him that Henry is being held in castle bran walled marcus later reveals a map drawn by Henry of the route to the Grail which begins in Alexandretta Marcus heads out to rendezvous with our old friend Salah and Indian Elsa head to the castle our castle bran walled Indy locates his father but learns that Elsa and Donovan are actually working with the Nazis meanwhile Marcus is captured while waiting for Salah the Joneses managed to escape from the castle Henry tells Indy that to reach the Grail one must face three traps and his dog contains two clues to guide him through the challenges safely but they must head to Germany to retrieve the diary as he doesn't remember the clues they record the diary from Elsa had a book-burning rally in Berlin and then need to escape Germany to finally complete the quest for the Grail [Music] 1989 was a busy year for george lucas's of visual effects company Industrial Light and Magic working on many movies with large amounts of effects needed such as Back to the Future Part 2 the abyss Leviathan Ghostbusters 2 and of course the Last Crusade as with all the indie films Last Crusade made use of matte paintings miniatures blue screen optical work and even early digital compositing the visual effects of the indie series to me were little inconsistent and didn't showcase Island's finest work the movies had great isolated moments on map paintings and miniatures but a blue screen work was always very wobbly the year this came out I LEM did incredible work on back to Future Part 2 and Ghostbusters 2 which both pushed the old-school methods of visual effects to the limit without computer-generated materials to tidy up the visuals the Last Crusade though didn't have much in terms of large-scale visual effects the beauty of the Indiana Jones films is the approach to doing lots of the action in camera the whole plane sequence with Indiana's father escaping the Nazis always looked bad even when I saw as a kid seeing in HD didn't do him any favors it has the typical issue the loss of color when combining the elements Spielberg is doing a lot of ambitious shots that blue screen can't really make look realistic I'm surprised they didn't do any front projection work with it just to get rid of the black matte lines the shots of the Zeppelin from a distance look really good and the optical work stands up well but you have this hilarious shot of the general shaking his fists in anger at Indy as a Zeppelin flies away the whole shot seems flat and just doesn't work for me but then you could argue the fact that there's a b-movie by design to homage the action serials of the past and that the effects were never realistic and had very few visual effects to begin with but I'm sure i lemmed in going with that intention of making it look bad but it's just their inherent problem with their over reliance on blue screen to achieve everything now there are some very effective shots in this movie that really demonstrated the creativity of the folks at ILM stop-motion animation was used for the shot the German fighters wings breaking off as it crashes through the tunnel the tunnel was a 210 feet model that occupied 14 of AI limbs parking spaces for two months it was built in eight-foot sections and each section could be opened up to film through when Indy and his father drive alongside the plane it's all done in camera his seamlessly blends with a miniature that careers down the tunnel passes them an event explodes the hidden bridge is an inspired idea when you see it in the film it's like a magic eye trick it seems invisible and as the camera turns it reveals to bridge this was achieved before being filmed in front of a blue screen for the scene which was completed by a model of the bridge filmed against a matte painting for the death of Donovan as he drinks from the wrong cup Spielberg wanted him to grow old all in one shot that his life is taken away very quickly a shot of Donovan's death was created over three months by digitally compositing the footage with help from the morphing software developed the year before on willow to show the transitions three puppets of Donovan were created in separate stages of decay shooting them with time-lapse photography a fourth puppet was used for the final decaying form of Donovan Skelton being hung on wires like a marionette this whole sequence really impressed me as a kid and for a pg-rated movie it's pretty gruesome Last Crusade was a nice way to end this series at the time it combines old methods of visual effects throughout but throws in a new technique that would come to dominate the visual effects of the 90s [Music] John Williams returned to compose the score to the Last Crusade this will be Spielberg and Williams night's collaboration the score as usual with Williams is full of counter and charm it isn't the same music recycled from the previous films he brings on new themes to the Nazis Indies father and the Grail because of the added humor there is a light touch to the score and musical cues that add a bit of playfulness to the music it really complements the moments between India and his dad and then trying to deal with a difficult situation they are put in the film was less action orientated than the others southern music has a change of direction the film opens with this wonderful playful theme for the young Indiana the music does a superb job of reacting to the action beats with Indy avoiding all the obstacles in his way as he escapes from the grave robbers the music itself is a little like the Battle of Endor from Return the Jedi and even moments of hook that Williams composed two years later the Raiders theme which is essentially Indiana's main March doesn't really pop up that much in the film and only really kicks in for the final shot as he rides off into the sunset while the end credits roll but there are a couple of moments when Williams brings in the theme for when Indy does what he does best and it's always glorious when you hear it I've reviewed a number of films now that was caused by John Williams and it's difficult to find more to say about him he is the master and has given us so much wonderful music over the years a film score is so important to a movie and without Williams genius indiana jones star wars superman harry potter Jurassic Park and et to name but a few just wouldn't be the same a soundtrack arrived on CD and LP in 1989 with raffia now was worth of music it certainly wasn't a complete release it was later reissued in Japan with an extra minute or two but still not all of the music John had composed in 2008 Concord Records published a box set with the music to all four indie films which I had discussed in my rages review Last Crusade scored total about 76 minutes so an extra 20 minutes of music was made available this box set has been out of print for a long time and fetches high prices on the second-hand market but thankfully the music to all the films is now available on toons with little merchandise based on the film we thankfully have some video games The Last Crusade game arrived in two flavors the first one was published by us gold it turned up on every platform available all the 8-bit microcomputers Amiga Atari ST NES which was handled by Ubisoft Game Boy Game Gear Master System and Sega Megadrive consisting of five levels the first two have The Adventures of Indy as a teenager trying to escape from the grave robbers surprisingly the spite of indie has him looking like his older self throughout these stages apart from the Amiga a notorious T versions they go to the effort of having him in this Scout outfit there will fall has a change of location on some of the computers with Indy fighting Nazis on the blimp or in the castle where he locates his father it then jump straight to the resting place of the Grail between levels there are cutscenes to help tell the story and the graphics vary in detail depending on the power of the hardware the game didn't receive favorable reviews at the time but sold well due to the obvious popularity of Indiana Jones especially on the ZX Spectrum I played this as a kid on the Commodore 64 and Mega Drive and found both versions frustrating to play the game itself can be completed in say 15 minutes or so but the difficulty is amped up to artificially extend the game The Master System version is really tough one hit from someone and you're dead even if they just walk into you Indy's whip works like a gun so you can't use it all the time you have to essentially pick up ammo to be able to use it yeah that makes perfect sense you are also on a tight time limit so you also have to locate power-ups to extend the time ultimately it's just another generic platformer and a pretty lazy attempt at translating the movie in 1991 tighter got hold of the license and released their version for the NES they thought scenes between levels are very detailed and the programmers mix up the gameplay to include a few puzzles that provide some variety to the game and even choose what levels to tackle it also comes with a great soundtrack there are puzzles to complete driving segments and traditional platforming action the final levels has you working your way across the floor to avoid traps as you spell out the name of God with the welcome changes to the game and variety of gameplay it sadly is way too short but far superior to the Ubisoft release still if I paid like fifty pound for this back in the day I would have been furious now the best game based on The Last Crusade is to point a click adventure game for the PC Macintosh FM towns Amiga and Atari ST developed by Lucasfilm games this version follows the movie's plot closely as you solve puzzles and speak to people for clues as you work your way through the locations to complete the journey to find your father and the Grail you have to make sure you ask the right questions though otherwise you'll fail your mission or just get stuck the game got rave reviews back in the day with most magazines scoring it just over 90% Portugal co-venture games aren't for everyone as it requires reading lots of text and it isn't something you can pick up and play for short bursts I love this game as a kid but never got to play for an extended period of time my friend had it freeze Atari ST and we only played it for a short while as we couldn't figure out how to go and see also Donovan so my friend got frustrated and wanted to play something else I only had a Commodore 64 at the time so I have no chance of playing it myself as I mentioned in my review of Raiders of the Lost Ark there was a game for the Super Nintendo in 1994 titled Indiana Jones greatest adventures that combined all three movies into one game the game has six stages dedicated to the Last Crusade with one level where you control the plane as you escape from the Nazis with some nifty mode 7 graphics playing very much like super Star Wars trilogy it has great graphics and is easy to pick up and play but can be very difficult so bear that in mind if you intend to seek it out now before I discuss my final thoughts on the last who say let's have a quick look at the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which I will review in more detail in the future now I never imagined I'd see a fourth movie there was of course talked about it for years and even scripts were started but never greenlit and Spielberg was very much hesitant about doing the fourth he felt that the trilogy had ended perfectly as I think most other people did I'm sure many of us would happily see a new film but would still agree that the Last Crusade is really where it ended Harrison Ford really wanted to bring Indy back he encouraged George Lucas and Steven Spielberg to come back to the series so 19 years after the Last Crusade we got another entry in the series when they released a teaser trailer for the film everyone got so excited it was a brilliant trailer and once you hear the opening notes to the Raiders theme and you see the shadow of Indy produce hat on the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end that's a joy of having a great theme tune once it was released however it left many disappointed it wasn't as bad as say The Phantom Menace which had a bigger negative reaction but in default was just underwhelming and ultimately forgettable there are some nice moments in it I like the majority of the first and second act but when he gets the jungle I really tune out and lose interest the idea of being a nod to 50s B movies was definitely the right way to go but it wound up being a watered down version of what we loved about the character the violence was especially cut down a bit too much CGI was added and dealing with interdimensional aliens I felt was a bit misguided so many great stories have been spun out the film's with video games and books what George Lucas came up with was just uninspired the production values are very good however with fantastic production design and simmer photography Crystal Skull cost in the region of 185 million dollars so they ought to be the first one cost just under 20 million I think the huge salaries take up most of that cost for the actors producers and director I think I imagine everyone involved knew this was going to be a huge hit no matter its qualities you get that feeling that everyone involved is just going through the motions and kind of phoning it in apart from House and Ford who seems very invested in playing the character again I personally think they left it way too late to return to Indiana Jones Houston was in his mid 60's he was in great shape for his age but a bit long in the tooth to be doing all his action scenes and for it to be believable if this happened in the mid nineties it would have been perfect I'm sure many hardcore fans who have waited for nearly two decades to see Indiana again on the big screen were left heartbroken now there is talk of a fifth movie that has been written at the moment and his plan for a release in 2020 I think now making this to apologize for the last one I don't think Houston was particularly happy with the end results of Kingdom in the Crystal Skull and apparently George Lucas is not involved so hopefully things may work out for the better we just have to remember to not get our hopes up too much October my ears why were you when the film was released in the summer of 1989 I was nearly 6 years old and do recall seeing advertisements for the film I remember the video games on store shelves in shops such as WH Smiths - but I wasn't aware of who Indiana Jones was that year it was all about Batman and I was far too young to even sing that at the cinema which deeply annoyed me but it wasn't long till I finally got to see dr. Jones in action during this time Temple of Doom was being repeated on TV and I thought it was awesome my opinions on this movie have changed over time by seeing him for the first time as a child I became a fan like everyone else it wasn't till a year later that I got to see the Last Crusade even when it came out on VHS you had to be quick to rent it as it will be off the shelves every weekend even at a young age I saw the qualities of the Lost crusade the story humour action and adventure all worked for me I wound up watching this movie the most my local rental store didn't have Raiders to rent as it was an older film it was difficult sometimes in the VHS days if I film hadn't been re-released on the format you'd have to go hunt down an old copy when you're surviving on pocket-money you're not going to put down 15 pounds for a brand new tape you would rather wait for it to be on TV so you could record it like a cheapskate now I have gone on record and said this is my favorite film of the series I think objectively Raiders of the Lost Ark is probably the best of the series but subjectively the Last Crusade just tips over for being the best for me it's combination of humor and fleshing out India as a character just made it for a more enjoyable experience Raiders and Temple of Doom gave us just enough information on him as a person for us to be informed of his desires and what he's out to achieve we all know he is a good person and above all a teacher who wants to learn and educate others Indy is not out for personal gain in terms of wealth but for knowledge which makes him an honorable person a nurse in the respect of the audience is also what makes him so endearing but the Last Crusade went one step further and we got to see a different side to him the opening prologue shows us that he is already following in the footsteps of his father but willing to go one step further in his efforts to preserve treasures of the past it's great to see India too young age but the whole sequence is a bit on the nose with its desire to show all the trades Indy picks up like using the whip and how he got the hat the Lukie adopts after being inspired by the grave robber we do find out why in as a scar on his chin just like Harrison in real life which is a nice bit of continuity the sequence ends with an example of India and his father's difficult relationship Indiana has been a very solitary person he doesn't hold down relationships and is very much a one-man operation there isn't any indication that he is depressed or feeling lonely and I still think he likes to baggage of a regular life in the last crusade there's an obvious friction between him and his father he opens up to him when he says they have never had a normal relationship and hardly ever spoke but in his father's defense he said he wanted to teach Indiana self-reliance when Indiana is given the opportunity to speak freely with his dad he doesn't know what to say so in that instance they are very much alike they aren't good at showing their emotions and they seem to get on far better when discussing the whereabouts of the Grail one of the great moments is when Henry believes he has lost his son he finally opens up and says how much he cares for his son revealing if he had only a few more minutes to tell him how much he loved him the beauty of this scene is that there is a nice slice of humor thrown in as it knee pops up behind them to wonder what they are looking at Henry shows his true colors only for a brief moment then forgets everything and moves on with the mission with the running joke of Henry's diminutive Lea calling Indy jr. he finally shows his son the respect he craves when he's reaching for the Grail Henry just says Indiana to get his attention and tells him to let it go in this one moment Indiana desires to Grail for himself but has shown the way by his father who discovers what he values most above all and that's his son this is of course a nice allegory for our two main characters in his search for a cup that would bring him eternal life Henry Jones finds that real immortality has been there all along in his progeny in having to let the grow and therefore the power of immortality go Indy learns that he can't control everything and that bringing home the prize isn't what will make his father respect him the whole relationship and what has been building up to with this one scene makes the Last Crusade the strongest of the series with its characters and emotional core it really makes you care for Indy and his father you want them to repair their difficult relationship it's two stubborn men who struggled to speak their mind when it comes to their emotions and it's through the hunt for the Grail that they discover what's more important to them I thought the quest for the Holy Grail was a great direction Tides the King Arthur legend through the Templar it is a story that everyone is familiar with it is also a story that is wrapped in mythology and rumor a Xindi himself early on dismisses these as bedtime stories he makes a distinction between searching for fact and searching for the truth fact his concrete and non-negotiable the basis of archaeology whilst truth is more about belief now even though the distinction may get little lost along the way it at least doesn't fall into the realm of conspiracy like in the fourth film where the factual existence of crystal skulls is bypassed for pure fantasy if you love the Indiana Jones movies for their action then you may be disappointed with the amount in the last whose side Spielberg was obviously aware of that and threw in an extra sequence at the last minute but it's still a bit light overall Indy doesn't really use his whip or his pistol that much it certainly doesn't reduce the level of violence like the kingdom of Crystal Skull however Indy still gets armed and shoots two bad guys it shifts to a more character-driven peace which in fact benefits it greatly if the main story of father and son was poorly written no amount of extra action would have saved it he's finding that balance to offer enough action would also provide us with an interesting story that we care about Steven Spielberg is an absolute pro when it comes to that he never puts the action first and forgets about the story as Spielberg was unhappy with the Temple of Doom he wanted to return to the spirit of Raiders and he may have gone a tad too far perhaps because the Last Crusade does draw quite a few comparisons to that film dealing with another religious artifact the enemies being the Nazis the return of Salah and a similar battle in the desert I don't find us to be a problem at all but it was something that was highlighted when it came out and it's pretty obvious heck return the Jedi repeats the ending of Star Wars and got away with it it is the traditional blueprint for sequels give them something familiar add something new but don't go too far or you lose your audience the Last Crusade is certainly a more polished movie when it comes to Raiders which has a more of a handmade feel to it Raiders is a tad more gritty and dirty which reflects its love for the old tools of the past Chris a does continue that method but it's more lavish locations and ambitious script really call for a larger budget and maybe to the hardcore fans some of the magic may have been lost it was rare for a third movie in a series to be as good as the first or even surpass it as Phil Berg said the wave crusade ends with having Indy ride off into the sunset was the curtain on the series and that decade it was now time to move on to other films and it was his way of maturing as a filmmaker Raiders was made when Spielberg was young and out to prove that he can make a movie with a tight budget and still get it released on time giving the studio's faith in his ability to deliver he's moving 1941 was a costly bomb at the box office an industry cast doubt over him and his credibility he proved them wrong and radius was a monster hit with critics and audiences the Last Crusade demonstrated his maturity but still retained a slice of his youth were his wonderfully executed action sequences and an abundant sense of fun temblor doom didn't really progressed a series as it was set before the events of Raiders so there wasn't this sense of moving forward the Last Crusade is a perfect follow-up to Raiders and we got more of an insight into Indiana Jones and his world it showed us that he felt unloved by his father and that the quest for the Grail was a burden on their relationship but despite those frictions whose mission wasn't to find an artifact this time but to save his father and ultimately their relationship there was more to

2) Batman
Review: You ever heard of the healing power of laughter get out of here Batman or so Batman came out in 1989 it was directed by Tim Burton and it was a very different kind of Batman that we had there were some dark graphic novels I came out before then but this was the first one that mainstream audiences got to be like wha so that's Batman no pound no swap no swap and they get hit all really dark gothic shit all right that's cool I mean you had Michael Keaton his Batman some people were like what but a little known fact about comedic actors they have a dark side inside them they can pull from that it's why they're funny because they deflect with humor he totally worked as Batman he didn't talk a lot when he was in the suit he was just like you know walking around like I'm Batman that's how he said it he didn't have a throat infection like that although I preferred the bail Batman that's just me that like Christian Bale Batman was more stealth than Michael Keaton's Batman I mean Michael Keaton's Batman used stealth tactics like he'd jump off a roof people look down he's gone but in the end Christian Bale's Batman was Ninja Batman I like Ninja Batman the funny thing you think about things like you know Vicki Vale is his love interest in this movie it's Kim Basinger she has her Padawan obi-wan Kenobi braid on the side of her head from the 80s and she's like oh what's with that Ally and then they do a lot of digging and find out ah Bruce Wayne's parents were shot in that alley you think that would be common knowledge to be like Bill Gates parents being killed I think everyone would know about that but I guess this is a different take on Bruce Wayne and Batman Begins Bruce Wayne's a public figure in this Batman he's just as rich guy who knows rich people and I guess a lot of people don't know about his past yeah well that's fair enough one of the downsides in his movies Commissioner Gordon I like the Commissioner Gordon that works with Batman they collaborate you know they do cool things for trying to take out crime did you see that the mob is really prominent in this movie crime is huge no one likes Gotham it's just it's the pits but Commissioner Gordon never works with Batman I mean he gets the bat-signal at the end of the movie but really there's no collaboration I feel like if Commissioner Gordon was never in this movie at all the movie would be no different - kind of sucks to make Commissioner Gordon kind of a weak character like that but one of the strongest points in Batman is Jack Nicholson's Joker in fact this movie should have been called Joker that's more or less the origin story of Joker and Joker just killing everything so dey call it Joker and Jack's Joker for what they were this movie was completely awesome I can see where he fries the guy with the electric ring he's just like he had that crazy lack for people laugh so hard like they're out of breath I would I like about this is there's no definitive way to be like oh that's the only Joker that exists ever I say that about Heath Ledger's Joker but in reality it's all opinion I mean the movies are kind of like comic books and graphic novels you have different stories different takes different writers different ways they portray the characters and that's what I like about this if you like Heath Ledger's Joker awesome you have that if you like Jack Nicholson's Joker awesome you have that with all these different takes on the Joker character in the Batman stories you can kind of pick your poison but I am gonna compare this to the Christopher Nolan Batman's because well it has the Joker and his Batman and well he's done that too and for me I loved this Batman so much because of the Joker when I was younger and then the Christopher Nolan Batman came out and I found a Joker that I personally liked more so then I looked back at this Batman and I'm like hmm I like this Joker less than the Heath Ledger Joker personally so the movie loses a bit of its gravity for me because the one that carried the Batman movie in 1989 was Jack Nicholson's Joker makes sense a doesn't mean however Batman is a kick-ass action movie it has a cool villain played by a really good actor who I will say was probably born to play the Joker in 1989 I will say less acting was applied from Jack Nicholson playing The Joker because it was just natural to him he's Jack Nicholson on screen in fact I don't even know if he knew he was being filmed that being said it worked for the movie and this Batman was a leap it was a really ballsy move to take Batman it is such a dark tone since before that we had pound man wampa never like okay I'll have Joker fry people with a ring the only person I've ever met who didn't like this movie was this real art freak back and looked the 80s or early 90s my family knew her she shit a chicken when the Joker and his crew that one guy that looked like a Bobo from Double Dragon was just going nuts painting over all those paintings yeah she didn't like the movie after that I laughed just because she didn't like the movie I wasn't a dick as a kid I swear I will always have a spot in my heart for this movie I bought it on blu-ray and so I will give it the rating I would buy it and did buy it on blu-ray however if you live and die by the Nolan movies and you've never seen this movie before you might hate it because it just doesn't have what you've grown to love just being realistic I'm not saying it should or shouldn't be like that that's just this situation all right so your favorite Batman villain of all time we're talking favorite Batman villain and where he or she was represented graphic novel movie cartoon animation doesn't matter comment below let me know and as always if you like what you've seen here and you want to see more click right here to see more
3) Back to the Future Part II
Review: it's a little matter we need to talk about you have money right well forget it no not money Gray's sports Almanac you heard him girls party's over hi doc what's going on huh where are we when are we we're descending toward Hill Valley California at 4:29 p.m. on Wednesday October 21st 2015 2015 me where in the future I gotta check this out don't talk to anyone don't touch anything don't do anything don't interact with anyone and try not to look at anything shark still looks faking I don't get it I thought you said they said something to do with my chance a man fly I've seen you around your Marty McFly's kid aren't ya Beth must be rough being named after a complete Butthead what's that supposed to mean hello hello anybody home I don't think my fly think look what happens to our son have you made a decision about tonight's opportunity you know I was thinking about I'm not sure because I just think you know my bill will be dangerous it's a complete limp what's this all right see a souvenir 50 years of sports statistics hardly recreational reading material morrow hey doctor what's the harm and bring it back a little info on the future I didn't invent the time machine to win at gambling I invented a time machine to travel through time hey Doc I'm all for that what's wrong making a few bucks on the side so stuff Braun invented a time I don't get it doc I mean how can all this be happening it's like we're in Hell or something no it's Hill Valley although I can and I shall be much worse thank you may be fine the time continuum has been disrupted creating an alternate 1985 it's the top of Biff's came I mean all bit from the future cracked it was in the time machine because Biff was in the time machine in the sports Almanac it says right here that this made his first million setting on a horse race in 1958 he wasn't just lucky he knew because he had all the race results in sports all that that's how he made his entire fortune we're gonna go back to 1955 I don't believe it very familiar I'm back from the future in late November 1989 Back to the Future Part 2 arrived on the big screen produced on a budget of 40 million dollars this was shared with part three which was shot once filming wrapped on part two it went on to gross over three hundred and thirty million dollars worldwide making it the third most successful film of 1989 falling just behind Batman and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade although successful it didn't manage to match the box of his numbers of the first film falling 50 million dollars short the reviews from critics were a bit more mixed for part two with some feeling it didn't have the heart of the first movie that it was overloaded with gadgets and visual effects but many praised it for its story for showing Marty and Doc jumping between the future in the past in their attempts to obtain the sports Almanac Universal Studios had wanted to pursue a sequel after part 1 producer Bob Gale and director Robert Zemeckis said they would only do it if Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd would sign off on another thankfully Fox and Lloyd were happy to return Lea Thompson and Thomas Wilson were just as happy to come back but Crispin Glover proved more difficult Crispin Glover had wanted to do the sequel but he was offered less than half the amount of Lea Thompson and Thomas Wilson despite having equal screen time in the original script he felt that was too low and wanted to be paid fairly Crispin had said in interviews that the information provided by producer Bob Gale on the commentaries and documentaries on the DVDs and blu-rays is entirely false it was claimed Glover wouldn't do it because he demanded too much money and wanted the same pay as Michael J Fox when they decided not to cast Crispin they killed his character off for the alternative 1985 time period and used another actor for the future scenes they used a makeup molds from the first film to create Glover's likeness for the scene set in the future but without his permission Crispin sued them for stealing his likeness without paying him he won and the lawsuit resulted in the rules of the Screen Actors Guild to be changed so studios had to seek permission from actors and pay them accordingly the amount of footage or representation used Elisabeth Shue steps into the shoes of Claudia Wells as Claudia left a business due to her mum falling ill Lizabeth shoe has great comedic timing but unfortunately they stuck a terrible wig on her head james tolkan is back as strickland and loaded with a shotgun it's like he just walked off the set of he-man the movie shit we have cameos from Elijah Wood in his first role on film Jason Scott Lee is one of Griffes thugs and Billy Zane who is hilarious in this film Mark McClure also returned but he scenes were cut out marty finds him being thrown out of beefs casino it's a shame this scene wasn't left in because it shows more of Marty's family instead of just his mum and his brother shows a lot of pain and emotion in one short scene Bob Gale wrote most of the first draft by himself as Robert Zemeckis was busy making Who Framed Roger Rabbit the film's third act was supposed to take place in 1967 Zemeckis thought the idea was good but felt it would be more interesting to return to the first movie and look at it from a different point of view but also they wanted to go to the Old West for the final part the script at this point was becoming way too big so they decided to have the Old West be part of the third movie so Universal commissioned part 2 & 3 to be shot back to back once principal photography was finished on part 2 they jumped on to part 3 but while shooting the final film Robert Zemeckis would spend a couple of hours in the evenings supervising edit and sound mix of Part two it took 11 months to get both movies shot so he had a constant workload with little sleep one of the biggest challenges was designing the future Robert Zemeckis wasn't a fan of film 6 in the future and it was the least interesting part of making the film for him Zemeckis said he was somewhat concerned about portraying the future because of the risk of making wildly inaccurate predictions production designer Rick Carter didn't want to portray a darker future as seen in Blade Runner and Terry Gilliam's Brazil but a future that was more optimistic and had a great sense of hope and connection with nature Rick Carter and his team spent months plotting planning and preparing Hill valleys transformation into a city of the future they designed loads of crazy outfits and gadgets hoverboards self-drying jackets and self-lacing shoes god i would love to have a pair of those shoes robert zemeckis believe they got about fifty percent right about the future and their predictions of technology most of the technology we all wanted like flying cars and hoverboards are still a dream there has been prototypes of the flying skateboards but nothing that would be sold commercially or even work without the use of magnets below the board itself they use things like video calls which is just modern-day Skype and paying for things with your thumb an 80s themed cafe is something you might find but more so in a bar slash club environment for a place to listen to 80s music perhaps it's so crazy that no one could predict the Internet and in the film everyone still uses a fax or send messages also I don't think many of us are desperate to wear two ties maybe it will catch on with the fashion eccentric hipsters in London that will give me something else to laugh at them for overall the costume design and use of colors really reminds me of the future world that was a later depicted in demolition man and even the alternative world shown in Super Mario Brothers 2 movie in the future they are throwing out their laser discs hey I'll have those the movie opens where the first one ended Doc Brown arrives in his upgraded DeLorean and persuades Marty and Jennifer to come back to the future to help their future children as I take off Biff comes out and sees the car speed off into the sky as a depart to the future arriving on October the 21st 2015 Jennifer begins to get over excited to see their future selves so doc electronically knocks her out to avoid her knowing too much about her future they land in the back streets of future Hill Valley Marty is keen to check out the future but doc in his paranoia warns him not to do anything or interact with anyone that could possibly change the space-time continuum Doc Brown explains why they are there and informs Marty that his son will participate in a robbery with Biff's grandson Griff Marty enters a retro 80s cafe aiming to switch places with Marty jr. but his son arrives too early and he has to hide as Grif enters to make his deal about the robbery Marty jr. doesn't want to take part but being the coward he is he nearly gives in to Chris demands after be threatened marty hides his son and takes his place we're fusing Griffes offer but Griff cowards Marty into a fight by calling him chicken Marty tries to take him on and fails but escapes and grabs a kid's hoverboard Griff and his gang attempt to chase him down but their hoverboards collide and they smash into the clock tower they get arrested thus changing the future and saving Marty's children from jail before rejoining doc Marty purchases the gray sports Almanac a book detailing the results of every major sporting event from 1950 to 2000 in a cheeky attempt to make some money however doc discovers the magazine and lectures Marty about attempting to profit from time travel but before doc can adequately dispose of it the police have found Jennifer incapacitated and take her back to a home in 2015 just before doc landed to pick up Marty Biff leaves the cafe and surprised to see a flying DeLorean bringing back memories from 1985 dr. Marty pursue Jennifer as does Biff who has overheard their conversation about the magazine and time travel Jennifer wakes up in a 2015 home and hides on the McFly family noticing her future life with Marty is not what she expected due to his involvement in a car accident crushing his dreams of being a musician attempting to escape the house Jennifer bumped into a 2015 self and they both fate while Martin docket enter abyss steals a time machine and uses it to travel back to 1955 to pass on the Almanac to his younger self then returns to 2015 I was all surprised to see Biff in such pain when he returned but in a deleted scene you see him fade away from time which is a scene that should have been left in Marty doc and Jennifer returned to 1985 unaware of Biff's actions when they get back they quickly realize everything has changed dramatically in the cities in a state of disrepair Biff has become wealthy and corrupt and has changed Hill Valley for the worse making it feel like a nightmare for Marty in this present time Marty's father George was killed in 1973 Biff has forced Marty's mother to marry him and Doc has been committed to an insane asylum doc and Marty find evidence that the old Biff on the future used a time machine and deduced that he changed the past so Marty confronts 1985 Biff who says he received the Almanac on November 12 1955 the same date of hill valley storm Biff also reveals that he was the one who shot George as he prepares to kill Marty docker eyes and incapacitates Biff allowing him and Marty to flee to 1955 where they must change the past to save the future the Oscar nominated visual effects didn't use any digital compositing or CGI for its main effects all were achieved using the traditional methods motion control blue screen opticals map paintings and miniatures there is one sequence in which Industrial Light and Magic did dabble in computer graphics for the jaws holographic shark used to promote jaws 19 the film was considered one of the most groundbreaking projects for ILM one of the most challenging aspects was shooting the sequences with the same actor playing different roles and making them interact with each other they developed a new camera called the Pfister glide motion control system which enabled them to shoot complex sequences in which Mockridge a fox play three separate characters Marty senior Marty jr. and Marlene although such methods were not new the Vista glide camera allowed for the first time a completely dynamic scene in which camera movement could finally be incorporated the technique was also used in scenes where Thomas Wilson Christopher Lloyd and Elizabeth's shoes characters encounter and interact with their counterparts nowadays achieving this effect would be far easier but for the time it was very difficult and they managed to push the old analog effects to the max but what always bugged me was why they had Michael J Fox in drag I'm sure they could have had Elisabeth Shue portray their daughter it seems Marty as the dominant gene in their family and everyone looks like him the hoverboards were achieved using wires so all the actors were hooked up to harnesses and flown around the set the effects team did a great job rotoscoping out the wires to hide them for the flying cars a administers filmed with motion control cameras very much like they did on Star Wars there is Yod shot with a car to look a bit faded due to the optical process and black outlines in some places but I think the effects have really stood up over on the way the cars come right at the camera and fly out a frame was pretty daring to do with miniatures and the blending with live-action footage was done to a very high standard for the time there are a few shots that look pretty bad most obviously when Martin uses the hoverboard in the tunnel the blue screen shots are really badly composited however part two was one of the last big movies by ILM to incorporate traditional effects it was pretty soon they jumped on to computer animation and digital compositing alan silvestri is back to compose the score to part two gone is to focus on pop music and more attention is spent on the film score to fill in the movie soundtrack diversity brings back a familiar classic themes and makes great use of the main march for the title sequence with the darker tone of the second movie the music follows suit the score doesn't really introduce much more in terms of new pieces of music a lot dust sound copy and pasted from the previous film most of what standard knew to me was the alternative 1985 sequence which perfectly fits the tone of the scenes but also many cues sounded like they were taken straight off Alan's work on predator other composers have been criticized for copying pasting their work but if you listen to a lot of service fees big scores around this period they do all sound very familiar and I think he has got away with it avoiding any strong criticism I think maybe he put all these ideas into the first film and became a bit stuck with part two trying to expand it enough to make it sound different if you say listen to Star Wars a new hope and then pop on the Star Trek to Empire Strikes Back you can hear a wider range of music whereas with back to Future Part one and two you probably wouldn't know which score belonged to which film don't think I don't enjoy the score it's great music and perfectly complements the film but I just wish there was more variety and creativity to the music a soundtrack was released at the time on CD and tape thirteen tracks were included and only about 44 minutes of music was released for many years the fans had to obtain bootlegs to hear the complete score by thankfully from the 26 of October 2015 in trata have released the score in its complete form it's only in limited numbers so make sure to pick it up before it goes out of print back to Future 2 got released across many gaming platforms at the time hitting the ZX Spectrum Commodore 64 amiga Master System NES and Super Nintendo the 8-bit microcomputer versions Amiga and Marston releases were all the same game that the courted graphics and sound varying on each platform but I'm going to concentrate on the Amiga release because it has the nicest graphics the first level you control Marty on his hoverboard as he tries to escape Chris Kang and you faced off against Griffin II the end level 2 you have to get Jennifer to escape her future House level 3 is a platformer game you control Marty in the alternative 1985 walking around punching thugs then the next level you have a simple puzzle to solve then go back onto the hoverboard to steal the Almanac of Biff again follows a similar structure to May the ocean movie tie-in games the graphics and sound are pretty good but it can be frustrating to play and it's not very long you can probably complete the game in 30 minutes the NES version published by LJN came bundled with a game on part 3 both games were awful in part 2 you play as Marty in this clumsy platformer that bears little resemblance to the film you are supposed to find 30 items and return them to their rightful places in time and also collect clocks yeah just like in the film dear oh dear it kind of looks and plays like a very poor version of Super Mario don't waste your time playing this turd the best version to own is the Super Nintendo version released only in Japan in 1993 titled Super Back to the Future Part 2 it was a very colorful and cartoony version of the film you control Marty again on his hoverboard as you make your way through various stages based around the film it makes a refreshing change to play a decent back to future game on a Nintendo console and it has the music from the film so it's definitely worth checking out since the release of part 2 & 3 the popularity of the series has still remained strong and once the trilogy had ended people were still wanting more despite the live-action films having finished the cartoon series turned up in September of 91 and lasted two seasons taking place after the third film Christopher Lloyd shot live-action segments for each episode but was voiced by dan Castellaneta I'm sure many know him as the voice of Homer Simpson however Thomas Wilson did return to do the voice of Biff the series has been out of print for years a number of episodes turned up on VHS and laserdisc but thankfully the series was included in the recent 30th anniversary set in 1993 the back to future ride opened at Universal Studios Florida and proved one of their most successful rides the legendary visual effects supervisor Douglas Trumbull filmed the exciting footage of you riding in the DeLorean I never had the chance to experience this ride and unfortunately it closed a few years ago back to future video games have generally sucked but thankfully telltale games released a point-and-click adventure game that takes place after part three and sees Marty return to the 1920s it was released in five episodes with each episode taking about 90 minutes to complete and in total all episodes should run to a length of over seven hours it popped up on the PC and Apple Mac and later ported to the ps3 just in time for the October 21st anniversary date it's being ported over to the 360 xbox one and ps4 the video game was met with very good reviews and the decision to go with a point-and-click adventure game was perfectly suited to the back to future series in 2013 a cartoon arrived called Rick and Morty a parody on Back to the Future Rick is an eccentric elderly alcoholic scientist who has moved in with his horse surgeon daughter best family he spent most of his time taking his young grandson Morty on dangerous outlandish adventures throughout the cosmos and alternative universes the show gained critical acclaim and amassed a huge following you have to watch it if you haven't had a chance yet it's bloody hilarious the second season has just finished and it's been renewed for a third Universal Studios has been promoting the future day of October 21st heavily all three films will be released for a one day showing and they even put out a joke trailer for jaws 19 which was an inspired idea a new blu-ray boxset was released with some new content and Pepsi are even releasing their Pepsi perfect bottles but only in limited numbers I just want to be able to walk into my local supermarket and pick one up not have this limited edition nonsense that will only be sold in America or on their web site or whatever most probably they will be sold out within a day so I doubt I will ever get one as a kid part 2 was my favorite out of the series the visuals and concept or the future really drew me into it the DeLorean for once is working properly and they're jumping into the future in the past it really opened up the playing field to have fun with time-travel producing sequels is always a tough challenge for filmmakers and the original concept of going to the 60s for the third act would have been an interesting choice and it would have deviated from the first film to offer a new section of the past but Zemeckis wanted to go with the idea of revisiting the first film from a different angle the idea of giving audiences something the same but being a bit different he felt would be the best way to approach the sequel sequels that deviate too far in tone and visuals from the original can lead to people being put off I think Marty and Doc returning to 1955 and trying to avoid bumping into themselves was a pretty smart move and it can only be done in a time travel movie but it's also seen as its weakness I enjoyed the Future setting and the bleak alternative 1985 but once it went back to 1955 I always lost a bit of interest despite it being a clever move it was nice seeing the town from a different angle but it was just retreading familiar ground part two feels independent and its own movie for the first two-thirds but then it rehashes the first movie so it dilutes its own identity the ending was often seen as a bit of a letdown it's not that exciting you can't have something that's over-the-top and action-packed but it relies on part three so much wits finale to be resolved they knew they were going to make part three so I would have pushed the idea of the unknown not knowing if dot would be okay and how was Marty going to save him so in showing you the trailer for part three it kind of does spoiled a third act of the story there is no sense of surprise or suspense for the next film the ending for Part 2 was downbeat and so a trailer was slapped on to reassure people that it wasn't the end but if they had balance to down be ending with hint at doc and Marty's future then the trailer wouldn't have been needed and the audience would have been on the edge of their seat wondering what's going to happen in part three with part two going in a darker direction very much like the Empire Strikes Back that darker element was the most intriguing element for me the themes of greed and abuse of time travel is evidently conveyed on screen and shows the worst of time travel and what it can do it does become a tense and thrilling part to its story to see doc and Marty try and correct the mistakes they made along their journey the messed up alternative 85 where one man's greed for power and wealth has destroyed the town and crushed society I wanted to see more of that there was a deleted scene where Marty turns up at what I believe is to school which was left in ruins I wanted to see an expansion of what the city had become but the main square where Marty ends up is very dark and full of motorbikes so it's difficult to make out what is left of the town the twisted and greedy Biff ends up looking a bit like Donald Trump he's not as evil as Trump but close after seeing Lorraine in such a depressed state their whereabouts of Marty's brother and sister and Doc Brown was something I wanted to know more about but it quickly leaves this time period back to the 50s so I don't think there's enough time for the story to breathe and to build up any kind of emotional connection to the movie part 1 & 3 have dedicated the time to give the audience an opportunity to know everyone and get involved in this story part 2 is high on caffeine it can't sit still as a kid I loved that it was so mental because we all had short attention spans as children but as I got older I found myself enjoying part 3 moreover part 2 2 & 3 don't come close to the masterpiece that is the first one but when discussing the sequels it's interesting to discuss with friends or other folk about which is better I discuss my thoughts on part 3 in an older retrospective but in short part 3 focused more on Doc Brown and I think his caption needed to be expanded upon and have his own identity I'm not really a fan of westerns but it didn't destroy any of my enjoyment of its story what would have happened if Crispin Glover had returned it's really hard to know how it would have turned out I think it would have had a stronger emotional arc to it I think his character was very important to the series and having his cap to reduce to the background and being killed off felt like a big loss to me when Marty sees his father's grave it's supposed to be on a big emotional response but because he's not in the film with any new material it's not as effective as it should be back to Future Part 2 does have its problems that make it full short of being on par with the first film but there is loads of great stuff in the movie to enjoy it humor is still strong and with its eccentric plot it makes for a fun experience the cast is still on top form I don't think anyone really falters in their performances Elisabeth Shue does look a bit too old to be playing a teenager whilst Michael J Fox always looked a bit baby-faced and looked younger for his years so he gets away with playing Marty again Thomas Wilson really steals the show all his variations of Biff are a joy to watch especially seeing him as an older man stumbling around with his hunched back and the best humour comes from his frustration and anger throughout all the time periods the back to future films are the best time traveler based movies nothing has really come close to matching them in terms of the quality of a writing and execution jumping from the future to the past you could get mixed up very quickly and may experience incoherency with your storytelling but the story is so tightly written they managed to keep it simple and straightforward Robert Zemeckis holds it all together it's probably his most complicated film I'm sure many of us own the trilogy box set you would be mad not to own it as they are regarded as one of the best series of films ever made it's hard for sequels to maintain any sense of quality usually the budgets get smaller with each sequel but here the call to you remains high throughout all of them Dean Candy's photography is just as effective as the first film and perfectly replicates the imagery of 1955 but also the bright colors and landscapes of the future if this clean polished look it's a shame we don't have hoverboards yet and self-drying jackets but I can only hope I will see these in my lifetime I would be worried about flying cars though you know so many would be falling out of the sky far more often than planes back to the future part 2 probably wouldn't be in my list of top 5 sequels it just falls short in some areas for it to be totally satisfying for me it's tone an underwhelming ending just means it fails to hit the mark however there is great original stuff in there it's bucket loads of fun and certainly recommended viewing I'll be it's like I was just here yesterday we're here yesterday buddy you were amazing isn't it all right sunrise should be in about 22 minutes you going to town tell your gift until Ian sometime today all this will show up to give young Biff the Almanac above all you must not either fear without event we must let obit believe he succeeded so that Helene 1955 and bring her to law and back to the future right once whole bitch is gone grab the Almanac any way that you can remember all of our futures depend on this you have to remind me an answer now two of me here and there are two of you here the other be down from 1955 the other me whoops the other you get back 1985 remember lightning ball at the park tower yeah that event doesn't have it until tonight so you must be very careful not to run into your other

Review: Scare you, laugh you and finally teach you some good lessons:)
6) Lethal Weapon 2
Review: [Music] just two years after the first Lethal Weapon film we get the sequel lethal weapon 2 now Shane Black who is one of my favorite writers he roped the first film he didn't write the screenplay for this however he did have him but on the story Geoffrey Baum wrote the script and this guy is you know he's no outcast when it comes to right and he's written some pretty decent films he wrote the dead zone which is one of my favorite Stephen King adaptations and he also wrote indiana jones and the last crusade which is arguably one of the wealthy best indiana jones fell so good credentials really for the writing and I think it shows because for me personally bearing in mind like I say just how big of a shame black I am I still think this is better than the first film now I I think a case can be made father for a film being better but either way if he still and said they preferred this more I wouldn't argue with it what I think this film does particularly well is tying up certainly sounds from the first one it namely Riggs's wife his wife died in this accident car accident or so he believed and here we learn obviously but that wasn't the case and they need the bad guy in this I think really adds a bit more personal wait to rig his character to the story on giving him this motif is reason to really go after him now I actually think the villains in this all around the better than of the ones in the first one I know I know a lot of people really dig Gary Busey's main villain in the first film I just kind of saw I also him is a bit of a thug real he never really impressed me on that level are you still cracking village you know so when we can have a good fight with with Riggs here I feel is more of a personal kind of thing between rigs and this dude so that for me keeps me a bit more in bed did the action is really upped as well in this is a lot more action in this right from the get-go the opening scene we have this big car chase that seems to go on for quite a while and because we don't need to get to know these characters this time around they can just get straight into the banter which as I say it's pretty decent even though shane black isn't writing the dialogue and Geoffrey Baum does a really good job of making these characters sound like the characters from the first film which is quite a hard thing to do when you have such a distinctive voice writing that original you know you can recognize Shane Black dialogue anywhere in the same way that you can recognize they Aaron Sorkin's dialogue so yeah to be able to mimic that in a way that doesn't feel like it's mimicking but actually feels fresh point scored I'd say we also get the addition of Joe Pesci's Leo Getz who I think is a great addition to this cast of characters he really lends some some some levity to the situation and it helped by the fact he's being played by Joe Pesci really is a bit of a chameleon he can be absolutely terrifying other years in Goodfellas or it can be really comic and sympathetic as he is here and he gets quite bullied I think actually in this film Riggs and Murtaugh at times the way they treat him I really do sympathize with it and I kind of kind of turn against Riggs and Murtaugh when they're doing that or particularly Riggs Murtaugh not so much is a bit more of a seasoned professional shall we say isn't he's less likely to have untick although he does get involved yeah I do I sympathize for his character during those moments and by the end of the film when he's gone to Anthony's come through you really do feel like yeah he deserves their friendship after everything he goes through for them the weakest link I would say is Patsy Kensit who let's face it didn't go on to have a stellar film career after this I I think they were probably hoping she would but yeah she didn't prove herself as the finest actress but she doesn't embarrass herself either I just feel like a dozen other actresses would have been much better suited in this role I'm a bit of a thankless role given what happens to her but I'd say to you know she she does enough thankfully this role is kind of as I say it's pretty short there's not much screen time devoted to it but it does give Riggs his character a lot of impetus for some of the things he needs to do later on and so yeah it sets of that quite nicely richard donner's direction again as with first one is spot on proving himself to be one of the best action directors of the 80s and 70s obviously with Superman just at the end of that decade so yeah really underrated director in my mind I love this film I like the more personal element in it with regards to the bad guys I like the fact that the action is ramped up a lot more I just I just love that we get to have fun with these characters so I'm going to give this a 10 out of 10 I have to I just you know I gave the first 1i 10 out of 10 5 out of 5 i should say I'm going back to my old school rating system there but yeah five out of five if that's what I give the first one I think this film is probably marginally better like say can I do case either way so yeah I have to give this a 5 really great action film so if you've seen this film I'd like to know what you thought about it so comment below and let me know and until next time thanks for watching [Music]
7) Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
Review: I will say this and I wasn't gonna give this movie credit until a little bit later hmm but this movie fucks these kids huh yeah what's an endangered peril I don't know the actor little kid but he's fucking holding on for dear life like I don't care his dad's trying to kill me I'm going with a baseball bat like that's what you want [Music] [Music] but this one this movie though when we decided to pick it was actually pretty easy to pick because it was like okay although yeah you know this movie was beloved by everyone growing up let me mean you the same age every once again the kids perfect movie class you know we just never had the VHS for this and this is the time where you would have a VHS not a DVD Rises a VHS copy movie and it wasn't that we hated Disney's we love Disney it was just the fact that with all the Disney movies that came out all the VHS we did have of the animated cartoons and all sorts of other Disney movies this one fell through the cracks and so it was like all right I mean I think the kids missed it and might have shown them on TV every so often but Disney has always put out a ton of content a ton of movies and so it got to the point where I wasn't a kid anymore and I was like well I don't want to watch Honey I Shrunk the Kids and I'm not a kids and I'm not a honey so I don't I don't want to know about any of this movie I don't want to talk about it I want to think about it and so with ant-man the wasp coming out I'm like okay these kids you know nowadays they have all the CGI in the world they write all the computer graphics green screen they ever possibly you can't get much better than we have it easy now they got it easy these kids that got the ants and the men and they're little and they're on the toy trucks and the kids have it so easy nowadays it's not gonna get much better looking you don't look slightly better and better and better as we go along as the resolutions gets bigger and bigger and bigger but otherwise we're pretty much there it's just a matter of man-hours and money that you put into something so make it look good and so what do you do when you're in 1989 in a pre CGI world you know like I want to make a tiny world I want to make these this movie where kids are being shrunk to a really really small level Lord of an inch quarter of an inch which is like these kind of change size every so often small but easy but otherwise you know you know first while we do this we have to set the fact that this is the late 80s and early 90s and dad has to be a workaholic who is wacky has his own workspace and he still you know he has these ideas where it's like okay I'm gonna make these inventions yeah I'm gonna be a little bit of a little eccentric I'm a little yeah crackpot scientist whose text messaging too kids in the morning about how he wants to go to breakfast and but when it comes to this dad Rick Moranis yeah this movie does what a lot of nineties movies do and what Martin Thomas loves movies to do and that is make dad look bad for wine to stay home and work and feed the family like Rick Moranis is trying to make this invention work before he goes to his big meeting right and they make him a villain because his kid who wants to show him a stupid little rinky-dink toy look finish mine looks just like yours you know dad I was calculating future all the molecules listen baby I gotta get this thing working before I leave don't you go help your sister [Music] thank you dead like to me that was something I never understood as a kid and if I would have watched it as a kid uh-huh as I watch it now I understand parents have to work sure like that mom work moms out there working selling houses she's making money and she's making money dad ain't making any money but dad is trying to make this pitch to be like yeah I want to be in the papers I'm trying to make this thing shrink you know and I get that he works from home but like when I was growing up I had my own siblings to worry about like what he says go help your sister I was already doing that we had our own little world because we knew our parents had to take care of the business stuff like that but then we get select the shrinking parts of the movie the part where it's like yeah we're finally getting it honey we should yeah it's the movies what we want to talk about these kids in love and wanting to have sex and nîmes these kids playing baseball we don't want to deal with any of that stuff more and to be honest I don't even know how the whole shrinky thing worked the first time or how the accident even happened because this movie is just so haphazard sometimes you just don't know what's going on a lot of the camera works a little weird and yeah I'm very good to write so follow a lot of things yeah but apparently a ball stops a laser and we get our tiny people in this tiny world and some part of this scenes when they reveal the tiny people yeah some parts are actually really anxiety and here it comes that's boy bread bar grand [Music] okay first bone to pick root shit how are you in the fucking backyard swing towards the house you know what he was doing not expected to hit a fucking window nah he's drunk I won't be beaten by a belt if I was playing baseball let alone in the front yard or backyard and fucking towards the house like it happened one time already because we work close to the house but we were in the front of our own house and it was our own house so he hit I didn't do it nobody has to know nobody stopped but you where are we dead maybe would be dead suffocate dead done if the broom just like swept against and they would be just ground it into the ground and their skin and flesh would just come off and be a horror film I didn't even think of it like oh yeah yeah cuz like my thing was like okay I thought about the science of this movie a little bit too much of during the movie itself because you know and I'm not holding it against the movie in any way but like no excuse me but like you know you you you close off all the the hair you pour them into a trash bag you know yeah you know with tons of debris with a huge fall those kids I'm sorry closed off all the air I wrote down hair all the air from the bag yeah you hit them with the bristles you drop them from a giant dust pan with a bunch of other debris in the inside and stuff like that those kids should be dead now I don't know what kill them how air works now that they're tiny but we'll get saw like kind of those kind of questions in the moment because now do they have an abundance of air now are they short on air because there's tiny lungs they get do they need more air to breathe or less no they would need less there and there'd be enough air in that garbage bag lesson for quite a bit at the same time or the it's not it's not perfectly tied tight either what are the oxygen levels enough where the atoms are able to be even inhaled by the way yes oh you start to get that way the movie Falls are big the sets are all this is amazing that's what I will say this is the first time we see like a set like this and that's where the magic the movie is well that's the thing I'll show it to you right now the part that got me because I was like I'll talk about this movie making me anxious at least in some parts of it yeah wouldn't there at his feet and they can't really like get to them and they're screaming their heads off that's me I might come with the right like the right there and like does a part where like these people are fucked because he can't even hear him they're so small and it's like it's right there and I'm like at the same time I'm thinking you know how many bugs have crawled by my feet you know at any given time how many you know gnats or something have been around my head that I've never noticed you know like how many spiders are in your hair right now I don't could be a lot how many spiders in your hair right now we got a widow's peak is like a Widow's funny joke saying don't do it but seeing some of the practical effects that go of this movie like having to make you know giant huge floorboards or giant screws and nails great giant dust pans or the dust bunnies and stuff you know there are some awesome things that they do like with those situations like oh this is like a big giant broom that they're actually practically making for them to run away from you know it's taking the mundane and making it extraordinary mm-hmm and just really unique and just like wow it's like yeah stuff that we see every day we're just bored by but seen oh it's really big now there's something fun about that right and the thing about it that makes me kind of upset is that with my adult brain working again oh those were all sets I can tell that that's not real so wood floor you know and it's an unfair criticism of the movie but when I watched these things I don't I can't watch them in a vacuum so I'm like I'm watching Rick Moranis you know brooming and then like oh now there's a giant big problem with brushes that are gonna carry the kids away whatever have you and so I'm seeing this stuff and I'm like man you know what the set designer back then had to go all out for this you know and then I remember a scene like from the first ant-man I watching that was that soon thirteen thousand fifteen twelve fifteen so like that when you watch the first ant-man scene let me turn that down a little more up and you know and he's throwing Thomas the Tank Engine around yeah and you're getting the same type of stuff but with the advent of modern modern technology it looks super real now it's not like a maker day make-or-break deal with in this movie but seeing how glaringly fake everything else in this movie makes me kind of go like oh that's cute you know cuz I'm watching at man I'm like everything is the exact same effect everything's exact same amount of tiny and you're able to see all these action the special effects and stuff like that and and then you're looking at Honey I Shrunk the Kids and it's like oh they're like running around on like little tiny cameras little sound sets whatever have you and it doesn't give you the cap of reaction you want from a movie like that where it's even though it's whimsical and fun it's like oh man this is real plastic in fake it's almost like Toy Story in this in a sense where it's like yeah everything is fake yeah they had to work with what they had at that time I mean they didn't have those types of facts even at this point we're still seeing some stop-motion effects until that dress barks oh yeah movies dated but it's it's what they're doing all those scenes I think works they're reactions how when they see one some of the bigger characters like wince you know once we Rick Moranis and his wife or whatever you see them above their kids and stuff like that it's fun again it's not a movie that's it's about the the set pieces but you can't take it too seriously right this isn't a film for kids right so making it too realistic I think would have been too frightening for kids okay but yeah I mean because I'm like I said I'm not holding it against it but yes my old my adult brain is an overdrive saying like oh yeah that's a nice little that's a nice set design this is a nice composition I'm appreciating for what it's doing and I am appreciating the fact that these things are a mixture of stop-motion all those things but my brain can't shut off the back oh yeah it's totally real and I just wish I I missed that childhood wonder where I ever thought that was real or was or that was something that was cool you know and so I found myself making little comparisons like that's other movies as well because when the kids make it to the ground level for the first time and they're attacked by an insect I thought of something immediately after that [Music] one inch tall and sixty four feet from the house the equivalent of 3.2 miles butterfly and a wingspan of 42 and like that little part works in Gary if you look at the scale of that like the mushrooms and the size of that you know and the kids gives you a scale of everything like three miles worth of walking which hate that far maybe you could do three miles to the hours like and so like you could do they even like two hours right there right and you know to the back porch and then the thing that got me was forty five foot equivalent wingspan for the butterfly oh that's really awesome that's really neat that that kid that was there to be a nerd to pull that number out of his ass they explained just enough like stuff like that was little scientific things right like the technology stuff like oh that's kind of cool right but when the but what happened then was like I was looking at kind of the where they were hiding I was in at the butterfly them see if I can pull the butterfly like right there yeah you see Mothra right there and then you see that there under AB little mushroom whatever have you and I thought of another movie that did the same thing that came out 10 years later a movie that I was a little more familiar with when they came out and we've been talking about this the last couple weeks for a while and it gave me that same sense of scale like that with other plants and other wildlife toy store like they're like there it is like AB I saw underneath the mushroom it was like I've been to California Adventure and they have a bug's life world and so they have giant bugs and giant and giant plants and stuff like that so you're underneath like a giant little prop yeah mushroom whatever have you but it's like oh now I feel like the size of a net you kind of get that a little bit of honey i shrunk the kids seriously and I haven't seen a movie that movie in a while but like half of it if I remember is in grass like this right we're like the cloves are a little bit tall and the scale is so small you can actually see the individual earth grains of sand underneath it so I'm looking at this and I'm like alright the ground stuff is just like people in a bug's life and so I'm like alright that little bit of wonder is already worn down because I saw and even the movie ants which I've never seen it's like yeah we have this situation where it's like oh we know what the scale is being small we've had movies where you've been small whether it be you know anthropomorphic ants or whatever have you or now this movie it's like ok for me having seen those other things that wonder is rubbed off too so not sure now the wonder of the them being small in terms of the real world and like like a just like a regular room and then now being small in the realm of like outside in the backyard I'm like man I'm missing all these pieces because I've seen them elsewhere makes you sad you've seen them done better I mean you can even say a Toy Story they do that perspective where things are much large and you seen from that that toys Heights oh no I mean yeah I mean in this case these movies are doing a bear cuz the technology is just better right and and and technology's a little better and it's just the fact that I was oh a little bit too old or too young I'm sorry for like a movie like this to be like to get the full kind of full exposure of it you know once I missed it I missed it because okay bugs like it came in 1998 yeah shows less than 10 years so if I had that 10 year window and then one year was removed because I wasn't even born yet mhm I missed the bus by a very small margin and that's kind of the unfortunate thing about me in this mean you could have been a part of the Honey I Shrunk kid saga with me I could I gave no fucks about that and then the peril kicked in though Oh at this movie now that's where you're making your money off of this movie if you're gonna watch it at a later time because like I said the sense of scale stuff some of it's fun some of it's neat gets a little bit of those in a minute but you know you get the butterflies or your friend kind of moments okay we're afraid for nothing it's fiery but you know what then they're trying to climb flowers trying to see where the house is gonna get their grounding for everything and then a fucking swarm of bees out of nowhere comes attacking you you're up shit creek with the bees [Applause] huh between the giant flower the pollen the stop-motion and be puppet and then the green-screen kind of simulating the flying thing that sequence is actually pretty excited it still holds up it holds up and it's fun and it's even funnier because that kid like I will say this and I wasn't gonna give this movie credit until a little bit later mmm but this movie fucks these kids peril yeah I'll talk about my complaining about that a little bit later but like they put the kids in peril like you these kids this kid is like imma show you that that scene where he's hanging off the side like yeah let me see where is it let me see cuz this kid like I don't know the actor little kid but he's fuckin holding on for dear life like for his life dad's trying to kill him - this is no one with a baseball bat like that's what you want and their whole sequence like you said even if it doesn't look real if it's not what the most best thing ever out of self you're still in the moment because they sold it to you yeah and you're buying because it's like oh shit the beat you know half the time that like a little like mr. Bhatt mr. bill was SNL the the puppet little claymation puppet no I'm talking about in SNL that little claymation guy mr. bill I think is mr. bill yeah like they look like little real-life mr. Bill's in the show and you kind of go with it you want to do that you know and also the same time near the can there they should have been dead again yeah because they get flung off the beat it's a God knows where and with plot armor and plot device being the way they are they're super close anyway yeah to the people at the end of the scene who spoiler alert but like you know what they should be dead at this point and this is the point where's like a peril is one thing but just being dead is another and being big for situations where they would die is another I figured out why she remember an ant man they see even saying this movie where even though they shut down this size or whatever they're still dense they still have the same density right right and so he would still fall and hit the ground they should be okay well it's here's the thing that exact point may be enough in the movie I'll write it down oh can they bring into the movie and actually the description is all all reading so if you're just removing the space between the atoms so the atoms say the same size so you're shrinking things by removing the space almost infinitely to make things shrink okay so you're condensing the density of the thing your shrinky that's it so if this kid is you know 50 pounds or whatever and they're the size of less than a quarter there's still 50 pounds okay so let's say that right so if they're like that big in 50 pounds what they like just be slamming through everything because if like you know if they just jump would it be like a little tiny baby thing jumping 50 pounds into this MicroStation going through it and breaking everything breaking the table all the way into the ground right right or you know like if the Bee is attacking like do they hold on and do the weight of them holding the B rip off the B's arm because a 50 pound kid a little rip off of B's arm and then if you go okay if you want to assume that they get tiny and then they lose the density as well yeah are they like ants or you can drop an ant like you can throw an ant across his mind then they fall down it's fine is that kind of what we're going with I'm confused like are they able to walk on water with like the tension whatever that would be questions that I have you know the kids are fine like the little one he's precocious into fun he's adorable there's the rowdy Trump supporter he's useful then you have rest little emo boy he's fine at first surprisingly and then Amy is just girl like she doesn't serve any other purpose other than be rescued and to be kind of like contradictory to the boys like Oh boys you guys don't know any tension between the the littles Trump supporters right as you called um no I mean the thing that is like no the kids stand out I think that is the biggest problem with the film and that's just yeah right he's just not there for any it's not there for the sets and the spectacle and all that but there's a short round like you've got a message it now what if these kids were short round that would be awesome down to sea level is the Goonies exactly all these kids yeah and the Goonies that was a whole nother situation of peril and things yep that's it's another it's another level that that movie takes it to it's like okay that's why I see that movie a little bit more on a higher level than this one yeah yeah because kids are getting fucked up in this one but it's like they're flying through things and you like that and particularly though in this next thing you know luckily they're just fine enough as characters for us to kind of carry at least a little bit about her enough um but what happens next is is one of those things that you really don't think about when you go out to be tiny and I just remembered the first ant-man did this in the bathtub scene okay and in this movie you know they brought it to your attention you're like you know what this is something I've really never considered and that's the fact that when the sprinkler system turns on you realize how dangerous water is you know goddamn nightmare right yeah thing is too much water is dangerous and the thing is that at this point where the sprinkler goes off it gets really really treacherous to the point where like someone almost dies [Music] [Music] [Music] dad she's fucking dead they all float down here that's what that's what I think my spooky right there I'm looking at her that's a ghost water she's dead facedown on blood I don't know how she just went down that quickly she just got a fell into it she's dense she's that's why maybe this but why is her face in the earth she doesn't need that but anyway they got a save they gotta save the girl yeah [Music] now I don't know what that water effect they were using was yeah that shit look cool man yeah no I mean for that the droplets the droplets yeah like it must have been like I'm trying to find like a specific part where I can show it explicitly like it I know I'll slow down Sammy's Oz Sam you see shit frame by frame you have the digital right there yeah glassy water effect and then you have the practical land yeah comes like that right there like that's gotta be since it's so thick has to be some sort of like slime thing that made it have that kind of dripping effect and then the mud to itself when you watch the mud is like mud is mud to me like mud is dirt and water it doesn't gross me out I'm an adult I have my stuff in mud it's like ah just unfortunate yeah but like here the mud is gross and gusting viscous it's like mucus it looks like yeah it looks like a big loogie they just you know swimming around in right it's like mucus slime with like backwash yes yes rounding in it I'm like man like that's how you get that wonder childhood wonder again back because like kids think muddy the ill mud grows you know we mud we deal with whatever but like little kids think it's like grody and so then when the kids drowning in it it's like well shit man that's fucking awful you know and that said you know that moment was super scary in this being a kids movie they were like you know what yeah one of the main characters almost drowned in a puddle of mud but let's get them back with something magically whimsical like I don't know no but a giant cookie I've died and gone to heaven house I saw it first [Music] now here's the funny thing about about this whole situation about a movie I had no clue there's a giant pet anton's movie I had no clue so like oh it's merely coincidence I was like Honey I Shrunk the Kids ant-man and then this is like an ant pad I'm like fuck yeah I did moslim I picked that correctly and I was like alright fuck yeah good choice Sam for ants because I do so in the back exactly but then too once again you know I'll be scrolled back a little bit more to see a little bit more of it but the stop-motion and the practical effects in the scene are still really really good that's a good puppet it's like it's a good puppet you know as you see like the blue screen where the kids in for the foreground coming over them and I'm like you know what I'm watching this and I'm like yeah I can see some of the seams in this but otherwise when the kids are getting messed up they're getting messed up by a real ant by all intents and purposes and that ant would have like bitten them in half had there been a real ant you know like they're super shit a hive mind they'll just go after whatever isn't killing right and this was apparently just pimp slapping the shit out of all of them right and then the other question I have number three you know why oatmeal oatmeal pie oatmeal cream pie cookies man okay no shits are grow I love me oatmeal raisin cookie so do I is gross like the actual Little Debbie cakes that yes you know like look those are the oatmeal cream pies the little ones that your grandma has for some reason because she likes them but like you have all like you have nutty bars fancy cakes Swiss rolls super cakes you have with the cup just regular old cupcakes the honey buns all of them why oatmeal cream pie cookies I think those bub the least gross of everything that you just said really I think nutty bars are fucking delicious I don't think you like peanut butter waivers in chocolate you know you know it's it's fine but I mean I like I like I like oatmeal cookies it's like a little stale it sure is stale what's wrong with her face like oh let me zoom in on her face no jikan she's fucking drama looking look I'm assuming I'm zooming more no like 90 facies you know did you hear kitchen fucking weird-looking man like the thing was is that like I was looking for a high-res image of her face okay and then this came up and I was cracking up because it's large Debbie and she keeps eating those Oreo cookies remember that's what you're gonna look like if you're in saw small size times and buying job you're looking large Debbie okay I don't know whatever question weird they ask like you could see the Photoshop more for yes it's weird but but you know what Chris I think it's that time again commas time thank you for watching last week's episode which was and thank you for watching this week's episode which is Honey I Shrunk the Kids and thank you for leaving the comment down below thank you for hitting like button hit it again hitting a third time that's a triple like thank you for doing it I know you've already done it because you know you've been here you should know they should know these they need to know these things also be sure to go to DT merch calm it's right there DT merch calm hand it's right there go and it's gone and where did Chicago Chicago was great too bad you missed it sucks to be you first up o samozang Eden Sammy's now on a mission from God literally yes and that was the explosion that gave us to why the Chicago audio didn't work I was doing religious person there and then as soon as I stopped talking the audio just cut so maybe next time you need the religious person in Chicago to just host the show I think I think I just do all of the Chicago wanna hear any of Corey or Martin's blaspheming and can they represent God their terror CH I don't think so oh my I'm steaming there you know what I was there just being a good little Christian Catholic boy mm-hmm Catholic you two you're good yeah it was and you know what here's a little bit of information from Aaron Morris about the Blues Brothers Blues Brothers came out the same summer his airplane and Empire Strikes Back the shining and Caddyshack good year bad it is a phenomenal year where was that 78 1880 and I say T I'm sorry yeah 1980 that is a that is a slugs one of the best years ever no wonder people think think it gets lost the sands of time that's a lot of competition to get through right there The Shining Caddyshack Empire and airplane every success though to airplane I need to watch I've seen chunks of airplane there's people love it there's there's really good chunks of airplane I mean as a coherent film like the dismissed no kids about the main story it's all the the little skits they do in the exact that's what works about so I need it's something I do need watch Leslie Nielsen's brilliant the film Leslie Nielsen is always brilliant yes yeah Merc with the mouth what a one Matt guitar Murphy died recently I'm a little surprised that it wasn't mentioned in the video maybe Sammy was too busy thinking he was Carl Weathers I'm sorry yeah I think he said June 15th like last month yeah he just recently passed so recipes Carl Weathers I mean rest in peace Matt guitar Murphy knob people got mad at me for not knowing Aretha Franklin people got mad at me for not knowing all those you know I knew Ray Charles I know yeah yeah it was but but you know what recipes Matt guitar Murphy you are not Carl Weathers even though you were yoked to like him so there you go it's a compliment if anybody could ever compliment anybody no anyway question time straight edge ECW wow that is a middle school a CCW the best musical ever committed to film fucking fight me I mean I might agree so yeah I would say so what account in the sense of musicals is in like chicag the other movie Chicago Little Shop of Horrors that type of musical is account as such yeah I mean it's not all original music for the most part I mean they write woodenness musicals have to be defined by original music cuz this is a musical style movie yeah but a music goal would have original music you would think is that the definition I don't know if it's not a definition and I'd still say it's probably the best one because with music I guess because it's not almost where I'm looking for obnoxious hit they're just so overdramatic that's an exception like I'm talking about like family opera fucking Chicago yeah Moulin Rouge like shit like that like the acting so so big and they it's like that doesn't feel you don't like the showmanship I come know and Mamma Mia shit like that you don't like this you know I don't produ overseen the producers by okay okay okay no what you think in the comments does blues sound or rather sound this is hella classical though does Blues Brothers count as a like a legit musical let us know down below in the comment section I think comedy musicals are better than regular music let me say so there you go but this but does a million original music a musical movie no original music does it count as musical let us know in the comments down below we don't know let us know so next up we have evil motif watch this a few months ago with my 12 year old daughter and she understood the humor in this film perfectly and she's always been speaking English for three years I think that Carrie Fisher shooting a rocket launcher anybody is a universal link there's a lot of things the music is good enough to where you can just not understand the words and just dance with the music at shield sounds good yeah and visually they're not really doing much they're very blank slated faces so it's a matter of the physical things that are doing and dancing singing you know playing instruments and stuff that's where you get the most of the pay dirt from that movie so I think that movie is absolutely great for little kids even though they say all sorts of bad language and maybe it's cuz she's only speaking English three years she doesn't learn those learn yeah or maybe she learns all of them starts calling people fuckers and stuff so anyway but on YouTube get rich there you go little kids cursing is what we want on our children's network at this point that's it for YouTube comments time that's it for YouTube comments time that's it for YouTube that's it's time so go and leave your comments down below go ahead and light bugging him to get it there does triple like no it no the trip through it the triple like go to all the things I told you to do gets to a billion subscribers and then now we say goodbye to you YouTube take it by the YouTube fight hi YouTube it's gone everybody [Music] you.
8) Ghostbusters II
Review: Traducido & Subtitulado por: Spanish Subs ¡Aguardo las órdenes de Vigo! Yo, Vigo, el azote de Carpatia..., - El azote... La plaga de Moldavia..., - Eso he escuchado... ¡Te ordeno! - Ordéname, señor. Existen cosas en este mundo que escapan a la comprensión humana. Cosas inexplicables y de las que la gente rehusa a enterarse. Es ahí donde entramos nosotros. Saquen el pecho, somos los Cazafantasmas. Ray, acéptalo, los Cazafantasmas no existen. Soy Jack Hardemeyer, asistente del alcalde. Sé quien es Ud., Dr. Venkman, pero no veo a ningún fantasma. Salvamos la ciudad una vez pero nos acabó un burócrata como Ud. La ley no reconoce la existencia de los fantasmas y yo no creo en ellos. De vez en cuando siento que esa pintura me observa o me sonríe. Este es el príncipe Vigo, gobernador de Carpatia, Muldavia. Era un mago muy poderoso, Dr. Venkman y también un genio. También era lunático y un demente genocida. Definitivamente hay una presencia allí. ¡Creo que dimos con la fuente! ¡Hay algo bajo la calle, tengo lecturas de 1-1-18 en el detector! ¡Lama! ¡Es un río de lama! Es maldad concentrada. - ¿Maldad? Vaya descubrimiento, una sustancia psicoactiva. Sea lo que sea, responde a las emociones humanas. Lama con humor. Vivir miserablemente y tratar a otros como basura es el derecho natural de todo neoyorkino. Mi papá dice que son unos impostores y por eso quedaron en bancarrota. Sobre una montaña de calaveras, sobre un castillo de penas, me senté en un trono de sangre. Lo que fue, volverá a ser. Lo que es, ya no lo será. Ahora es la temporada de la maldad. Aveces ocurren cosas malas, alguien tiene que arreglarlo y, ¿a quién van a llamar? ¡A cocinar! ¡Tráeme a un niño en el que pueda vivir de nuevo! - ¡Dos en la caja! - ¡Listos para la entrega! - ¡Somos rápidos y ellos son lentos! ¡Somos los mejores, los más hermosos y los únicos... Cazafantasmas! ¡Hemos vuelto! El 16 de Junio de 1989, los Cazafantasmas retornaron a la pantalla grande en ‘Ghostbusters 2’. Producida con un presupuesto de U$37 millones, hizo U$215 a nivel mundial y U$60 millones más en vídeo. Le tomó casi 6 meses llegar a Reino Unido, estrenándose un 1º de Diciembre. Hoy habría sido una locura tener que esperar tanto, especialmente para un éxito como ‘Ghostbusters’, pero como la cinta está ambientada en temporada navideña, Diciembre era ideal para el lanzamiento. Una película de temporada navideña estrenada en verano es siempre una experiencia extraña. Columbia Pictures estaba al tanto de la competencia, especialmente varias secuelas, como ‘Back to the Future, part II’, ‘Karate Kid III’, ‘Lethal Weapon II’, ‘Star Trek V’ y ‘The Last Crusade’. Pero la que más les preocupaba era ‘Batman’. La cinta iba a estrenarse el 4 de Julio, pero adelantaron la fecha al 23 de Junio, compitiendo contra ‘Batman’. Columbia Pictures y los productores consideraron esto un problema, pues ‘Batman’ había tenido una intensa campaña publicitaria y esperaba obtener muchas ganancias por lo que el estreno se adelantó para el 16 de Junio. 'Ghostbusters 2’ rompió récords de taquilla e hizo bastante dinero en los primeros 3 días de su estreno. pero una semana más tarde ‘Batman’ la superó ampliamente, dominando el verano de 1989. ‘Ghostbusters 2’ fue promocionada con una serie animada de 3 partes, con juguetes, y con los típicos platos de comida rápida de McDonalds & Coca-Cola. El comercial contenía material adicional del Ecto-1. A pesar de las ganancias, ‘Ghostbusters 2’ recibió críticas encontradas, en su mayoría negativas. Estuvo en la lista de Ebert de las peores películas de 1989. Los críticos la señalaron como una secuela pobre que no aportó nada nuevo a la serie. Los fans también estaban decepcionados, aunque no tanto como los críticos. Muchos sintieron que Columbia esperó demasiado para la secuela. Luego del estreno de ‘Ghostbusters’ en 1984, Columbia estaba desesperada por hacer una secuela luego del gran éxito de la cinta como comedia. pero el elenco y el director Ivan Reitman no estaban interesados y querían completar otros proyectos. Percibían que la cinta no debía tener una continuación. Habían derrotado a los fantasmas y ese fue el final. Por eso en 1985, Columbia cambió de parecer y autorizó a ABC para producir una serie animada. Se titulaba ‘The Real Ghostbusters’ para distinguirla de la otra serie animada de Filmation. La serie fue extremadamente popular entre el público infantil, durando 7 temporadas y consolidando a los Cazafantasmas en la cultura pop. La película original no iba dirigida al público infantil y no se produjeron juguetes para promocionarla. Pero dado el éxito de la serie animada, los niños finalmente pudieron comprar juguetes de la franquicia. La idea de una secuela fue desechada por el presidente de Columbia, David Putnam. No le interesaban los Cazafantasmas y deseaba filmar sólo cintas pequeñas, pero no duró mucho y renunció en Septiembre de 1987, al aprobar varias cintas que luego fracasaron. El nuevo presidente de Columbia sí tenía interés en una secuela y contactó a Ivan Reitman, Dan Aykroyd y Harold Ramis para que escribieran y produjeran la continuación. Había aún mucha indesición y Bill Murray no era optimista, pero le alegraba volver y tener la oportunidad trabajar con sus amigos nuevamente. Ramis y Aykroyd aceptaron y la secuela recibió luz verde. El productor, Michael C. Gross, enfrentó una crisis de identidad con la secuela. La película no estaría basada en la serie animada con la que los niños estaban familiarizados, Aunque la cinta tomó prestadas algunas similitudes visuales. Janine luce como su contraparte animada, Winston no lleva bigote como en la serie animada, La lama es del mismo color que la que podías usar con los juguetes y alteraron el color de los trajes, aunque los usaron sólo en el "montage" y para la publicidad de la película. Slimer deambula en el cuartel general y tenía más participación, pero fue drásticamente reducida, lo cual es inaudito, considerando su popularidad en los dibujos animados. Dan Aykroyd deseaba dejar el escenario neoyorkino y rodar la secuela en Escocia, donde secuestran a Dana. Harold y Dan desarrollaron la idea de emociones negativas manifestándose físicamente, inspirando la idea del río de lama que provoca el retorno de los fantasmas. Nueva York era el escenario ideal para la acumulación de emociones negativas por lo que desecharon la idea de Escocia. Un nuevo villano era necesario. La primera cinta se inspiró en la mitología Sumeria y la secuela tomó ideas de la mitología Carpatiana como demonología, posesiones y magia. El villano regresa atrapado en una pintura. Vigo tuvo diferentes apariencias. Inicialmente sería un bárbaro, pero Ivan consideró que se parecería demasiado a Conan y luego aparentaría ser una figura encapuchada, hasta que contrataron al actor Wihelm von Humburg cuya apariencia guió el diseño final. El elenco original regresó junto con nuevos personajes. Empezamos con Norbert Groupey en el papel de Vigo el Cárpato. Norber había cambiado su nombre a Wilhelm von Homburg en sus días de boxeador. Interpretó el papel de Vigo, pero sus diálogos fueron doblados por Max von Sydow, dejándolo profundamente decepcionado cuando vio la cinta. Hay muchos rumores de Wihelm en Internet, algunos de los cuales lo pintan como alguien muy desagradable. Existe un artículo en deadspin.com o pueden ver un vídeo inspirado en su vida en el canal “NO small PARTS”, que vale la pena ver. Vigo nació en Hungría, en 1505, y estuvo inspirado en parte en Vlad El Empalador. Era un poderoso mago y un genio, pero también un tirano, lunático y genocida. Debido a su maldad su pueblo lo odiaba, por lo que ordenó matar a cientos de ellos. Eventualmente murió a los 105 años de edad, en 1610, al ser envenenado, baleado, acuchillado, colgado, estirado, destripado, ahogado y descuartizado. Antes de morir decapitado dijo: “La muerte es sólo una puerta. El tiempo es sólo una ventana. ¡Volveré!” Peter MacNicol interpreta al Dr. Janosz Poha, presidente del Departamento de Restauraciones del Museo de Arte de Manhattan. Es el jefe de Dana Barrett, de la quien está enamorado y se convierte en el sirviente de Vigo. Tiene la tarea de encontrarle un bebé para que Vigo pueda regresar en forma humana. Originalmente Janosz se llamaría Jason y no era extranjero, pero Peter contribuyó a lo que iba a ser un personaje común y corriente y le añadió mucho humor. Harris Yulin interpreta al Juez Stephen Wexler, un juez muy impaciente. No cree en los fantasmas y quiere poner a los Cazafantasmas tras las rejas de inmediato. Kurt Fuller es Jack Hardemeyer, el asistente del alcalde. Jack no simpatiza con los Cazafantasmas, quienes son una amenaza a sus propias aspiraciones políticas y afirma que ellos fueron la causa de los eventos y daños ocurridos en 1984. Los gemelos William y Hank Deutschendorf interpretaron al bebé Oscar. Oscar es hijo de Dana y se convierte en el huésped candidato para revivir a Vigo y continuar su plan. William y Hank fueron entrevistados para el documental ‘Cleaning Up The Town’, pero nunca volvieron a actuar y ésta fue su única interpretación. Hay varios cameos. El hermano de Bill Murray, Brian Doyle-Murray, interpreta al psiquiatra, Jason Reitman, hijo de Ivan Reitman, es el chico que insulta a los Cazafantasmas en la fiesta de cumpleaños. Cheech Marin es el supervisor del puerto que es testigo del arrivo del Titanic. Bobby Bown, quien trabajó en dos de las pistas musicales de la cinta, interpreta al portero que interroga a los Cazafantasmas sobre los cañones de protones. La cinta empieza 5 años después de la batalla contra Gozer, quien aterrorizaría a la ciudad de Nueva York. Los Cazafantasmas han tomado caminos separados luego de ser demandados por daños a la propiedad y tienen prohibido investigar fenómenos sobrenaturales, lo cual los ha llevado a la quiebra. Ray posee una librería de Ocultismo y trabaja como animador infantil junto a Winston, intentanto revivir el antaño. Egon trabaja en un laboratorio en Columbia University, experimentando con las emociones humanas y Peter presenta un programa de TV de psíquicos. La ex-novia de Peter, Dana, tuvo un bebé y se divorció. Debido a su bebé, Dana renunció a la orquesta y trabaja como restauradora en el Museo de Arte de Manhattan, donde trabaja en el retrato de un tirano medieval legendario llamado Vigo para una exhibición. Luego de un incidente en el que el coche de Oscar es empujado hacia el tráfico por una fuerza invisible, Dana acude a Egon y Ray y Peter se une después como excusa para ver a Dana. Entretanto, el Dr. Janosz, trabaja en la restauración del retrato de Vigo cuando electricidad brota de sus ojos revelando que su espíritu habita en el lienzo. y le ordena encontrar un niño para poseerlo y reencarnar en él. Este ritual debe ocurrir durante la celebración de año nuevo. La investigación obliga a los Cazafantasmas a excavar en el sitio donde se detuvo el coche. Ray desciende a través del túnel y descubre un río de lama rosa fluyendo a través de una vía abandonada. Recoge una muestra, pero ésta reacciona atacándolo. Al salir, rompe accidentalmente una tubería que causa un gran apagón en la ciudad. Como consecuencia, los Cazafantasmas son arrestados y llevados a corte junto a Louis Tully, quien obtuvo un diploma de abogado estudiando de noche. El impaciente Juez Wexler los encuentra culpables, pero la lama recuperada por Ray empieza a reaccionar ante la furia del juez y explota liberando los fantasmas de dos reos que el juez había condenado a muerte, quienes destruyen la corte como venganza. Los Cazafantasmas capturan a los espectros a cambio de que los dejen en libertad y ahora pueden trabajar de nuevo. Ray y Egon investigan la lama y descubre que reacciona ante las emociones positivas o negativas y sospechan que la acumulación de lama es resultado del comportamiento negativo de los neoyorkinos. Más tarde, la lama invade el apartamento de Dana usando la bañera y los ataca a ella y Oscar. Acude a Peter y renuevan su relación. Dana le comenta sobre la inquietante presencia en la pintura de Vigo, quien siente que la observa. Al investigar la pintura, los Cazafantasmas descubren la presencia de Vigo. Para determinar si la lama y la pintura están conectadas, Egon, Winston y Ray deciden explorar el río subterráneo, pero éste los arrastra y encuentran que desemboca en el Museo. Las influencias negativas de la ciudad están cobrando fuerza y Vigo se fortalece más y más a medida que el fin de año se aproxima. Numerosas escenas fueron removidas o editadas luego de las primeras exhibiciones de prueba. Removieron gran parte de las escenas con Slimer y el final fue alterado para complacer a la audiencia. Mucho quedó por fuera de la versión original, como el primo de Louis, Sherman, interpretado por Eugene Levy, aunque algunas fueron incluidas en la remasterización para BluRay. Añadieron alrededor de 7 minutos de escenas borradas. Dana cuestiona a Egon sobre la razón por la que atrae a los fantasmas. Dana visita a los Cazafantasmas durante el juicio y Peter menciona al gato Garfield. Los chicos invitan a Peter a unírseles en la excursión a las alcantarillas. Esta escena fue rodada nuevamente, pero con ellos en el exterior. El asistente del alcalde muere intentando traspasar el muro de lama, pero en la novela dejaron esta escena. La escena con la Estatua de la Libertad tiene más líneas de diálogo pero la mejor es la escena de Louis intentando capturar a Slimer para convertirse en el quinto Cazafantasma. Janine le ordena dejar a Slimer en paz. No sé si la inclusión de este metraje habría mejorado la cinta, pero más participación de Slimer y Louis la habría favorecido y la muerte del asistente habría sido un merecido castigo por intentar recluir a los Cazafantasmas en un hospital mental. Industrial Light and Magic proveyó los efectos visuales para 'Ghostbusters 2'. Los efectos de la primera estuvieron a cargo de Boss Films, dirigida por el ex-empleado de ILM, Richard Edlund. No sé por qué Boss Films no regresó en la secuela.Tal vez ILM cobraba menos. Los efectos estuvieron supervisados por el experto Dennis Murren, quien estuvo bajo mucha presión para entregar las tomas a tiempo, debido a los reducidos horarios de producción por lo que tuvieron que contratar otras compañías, como Apogee, para acabar las secuencias adicionales, como la del tren fantasma. Ésta sería una de las últimas cintas en las que ILM hizo trabajo óptico, pues no utilizaron CGI. ILM se esforzó para que los efectos conservaran el estilo de la cinta de 1984. Los fantasmas no se sienten ajenos al universo original. Se percibe una estética familiar en el diseño que contribuyó a la continuidad. La cinta utilizó todos los trucos conocidos: Pantalla azul, miniaturas, “rotoscoping”, cuadros de fondo, animatronics y marionetas. Todo se incorporó para hacer funcionar los efectos especiales y se ven fabulosos aún hoy. Es la prueba fehaciente de los extremos a los que se pueden llevar los efectos ópticos tradicionales. Los hermanos Scoleri estuvieron inspirados en los Blue Brothers en versión caricaturesca y componen la primera secuencia visual de la cinta. Habían actores dentro de los trajes, con cabezas animatrónicas, y chispas eléctricas añadidas al cuerpo para realzar el modo cómo murieron. Cuando asechan contra los Cazafantasmas y les hacen un acercamiento se ven fantásticos, hermosamente animados por los titiriteros y los actores en los trajes. Es el siguiente nivel luego de la animación de Slimer en la cinta original. La secuencia de la Estatua de la Libertad fue lograda similarmente a la del Hombre Malvavisco. Un actor caminaba sobre una ciudad miniatura y las personas fueron añadidos ópticamente. La escena más impresionante es cuando la Estatua pisotea una patrulla. Sin ninguna intervención digital, es una toma prístina. La sombra del pie a medida que se posa sobre el suelo crea la ilusión perfecta. Son mis momentos favoritos. pero también disfruté cuando la cabeza de Vigo es empapada con la lama y regresa a la pintura y explota. Se ve prístina, pero decepciona como desenlace final. Hubiera sido mejor si Vigo no se quedaba ahí parado como un árbol. Pienso que el efecto más soso fue el de la bañera. Se ve bien cuando empieza a tomar forma, pero cuando Dana escapa se ve pequeñísima No encaja con el metraje en vivo. Demasiado ambicioso para la época, diría yo. Bill Murray ha criticado la película por concentrarse demasiado en los efectos visuales, pero tiene menos que la primera cinta, debido a la gran fracción de las escenas que fueron suprimidas. Tal vez considerando la cinta en su extensión original, Bill habría tenido la razón. Considerando la apretada agenda de producción, ILM, Dennis Murren y su equipo hicieron un trabajo fantástico. Si quieren saber más de la producción y los efectos, les recomiendo conseguir la historia visual de la serie, que también incluye a la serie animada Las ilustraciones son hermosas y el escritor, Daniel Wallace, hizo un gran trabajo de investigación para crear una fantástica obra informativa. El compositor Randy Edelman entró en escena para componer la banda sonora. Elmer Bernstein, compositor en la primera cinta, rechazó la oferta, harto de componer para comedias. En su lugar compuso la música para ‘My Left Foot’. Randy acababa de trabajar con Ivan en ‘Twins’ y luego colaborarían en ‘Kindergarden Cop’. La música es muy promedio. Atrás quedaron los temas que Elmer había creado para la primera cinta pues Randy dirigió la música en otra dirección. La música tiene sus momentos tenebrosos, pero las partituras carecen de la calidad de la primera cinta. Atrás quedó el tema orquestral de Dana que en su lugar es sustituido por una pésima melodía que parece compuesta en un piano barato. Los temas heróicos funcionan bien en la película, como cuando derrotan a los hermanos Scorelli. Y cuando saltan de la Estatua de la Libertad al museo la banda sonora está en su mejor punto. Pero en general, fue un retroceso en calidad comparado al original. Creo que Randy intentaba imitar la música de ‘The Real Ghostbusters’. Habían más recursos financieros, pero los temas interesantes de la serie animada están ausentes. A la fecha de hoy la banda sonora no ha sido lanzada en LP o CD, por lo que los fans han tenido que recurrir a copias ilegales extraidas de la mezcla Dolby 5.1. Como en la original, la música de la cinta tuvo contribuciones de artistas populares que luego fueron lanzadas en LP, audio-cassette y CD. Ivan Reitman conocía la importancia del estreno de la banda sonora y quisieron continuar la tendencia. El tema clásico de Ray Parker Jr. aparece brevemente en los primeros minutos de la secuela y en los créditos pero no es parte del álbum. La película quería promocionar la nueva versión de Run DMC, que se escucha durante la secuencia en la que los Cazafantasmas vuelven al deber. Disfruto el trabajo de Run DMC y su estilo es aceptable pero no tiene el atractivo de la versión de Ray Parker, Jr. La canción tiene un video promocional, en el que Sigourney Weaver aparece brevemente. Bobby Brown, quien iniciaba su carrera, contribuyó con 2 melodías –‘On Our Onw’ y ‘We´re Back’. ‘On Our Own’ se escucha varias veces durante la cinta y el video incluye a Donald Trump, The Ramones, Rick Moranis y el legendario Christopher Reeve. La canción llegó a ocupar el segundo lugar pero fue derrotada por el “batdance” de Prince para ‘Batman’. Otros artistas, tales como Onigo y Elton John también contribuyeron. Me gusta mucho ‘On Our Own’ y siempre me hace recordar a 'Ghostbusters 2' cuando la escucho. Creo que es un buen álbum, pero prefiero la música ochentera que usaron en el álbum anterior. La banda sonora se consigue fácilmente en iTunes. Los videojuegos basados en películas se habían convertido en la norma a finales de los 80, y Ocean Software dominó el mercado de consolas de 8-bits Activision, responsable por el lanzamiento del título original y quien conservó la licencia por largo tiempo, distribuyó la continuación en colaboración con otros estudios. El primer lanzamiento llegó a la Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad, Atari ST y Amiga. Diseñada por los gemelos Oliver, el juego tenía sólo 3 niveles de gran dificultad para extender su duración. Muy descarado y descuidado. En el primer nivel desciendes a la alcantarilla para recoger muestras de lama. Luego controlas la Estatua de la Libertad y luego enfrentas a Vigo en el museo. La historia del juego incluye instantáneas de la cinta que calzan muy bien durante la presentación. Las gráficas y el sonido son de buena calidad, especialmente en la Amiga y Atari-ST, pero imagino que muchos niños se enfadaron cuando descubrieron que el juego era tan corto. Dynamix se encargó del juego para PC cuya estructura fue muy diferente a los lanzamientos anteriores. Comienza cuando los Cazafantasmas se enfrentan a los hermanos Scoleri. En la estación, los jugadores pueden elegir capturar fantasmas para ganar dinero o recolectar muestras del río de lama y hacer que se cargue positivamente. Una vez los jugadores han ganado suficiente dinero y han recolectado 3 muestras de lama, pueden controlar la Estatua de la Libertad, evitando el tráfico hasta llegar al museo. Es gracioso que en la película usaron un control de palanca para NES pero en el juego usan un control de botones. No creo que pidieran autorización a Nintendo para utilizar su diseño. Una vez debilitado, Vigo puede emerger de la pintura en forma de una cabeza gigante y ataca de nuevo. Encontré graciosísimo que cuando derrotas a Vigo aparece una pintura de Slimer sosteniendo a Oscar. ¡Genial! Dos juegos basados en la cinta fueron lanzados por Nintendo. Uno desarrollado por Imagineering, la versión más común, y otro por HAL Laboratory. El primer juego es extremadamente difícil y contiene 7 niveles, Era caro, pero los juegos de NES no eran baratos en Reino Unido donde se vendían a £50 ó £70. De niño completé el juego pero nunca tuve un NES y tenía que jugarlo en casa de mis amigos. El juego nos enloqueció, pero celebramos en grande cuando lo terminamos. Volví a jugarlo con mucha dificultad, así que no sé cómo logré pasarlo de niño. Me desagradó completar el último nivel 4 veces para que todos los Cazafantasmas aparecieran en el final. No vale la pena. Las gráficas son pésimas y la dificultad te desanimará rápidamente. El otro juego para el NES y Gameboy se tituló ‘New Ghostbusters II’, lanzada sólo en Japón y Europa. La versión para EE.UU. nunca fue lanzada por conflictos de licencia con Activision. Es un juego en vista superior donde controlas a todos los Cazafantasmas, incluso a Louis Tully. Se puede jugar en pareja, distinguiéndolo de los juegos anteriores en el que sólo puede jugar un jugador. El objetivo es atrapar a todos los fantasmas en cierta área hasta que una flecha muestra el siguiente nivel y allí el jugador batalla contra un jefe. De entre todos los juegos lanzados, ‘New Ghostbusters II’ es el mejor. Gran dinámica de juego y presentación y la opción de jugarlo en pareja lo hace mucho más divertido. En los 90 surgieron rumores de una tercera cinta.Dan Aykroyd escribió el guión, “Ghostbusters 3: Hellbent”. Los Cazafantasmas se transportan a una versión alterna de Nueva York, donde conocen al diablo y Oscar es adulto y se une al equipo. Algunas ideas en este guión, como la batalla contra el demonio, fueron adoptadas en el videojuego de 2009. No obstante, nada sucedió y para 2004 surgieron más rumores de una secuela, pero Bill Murray perdió el interés, por lo que sobrevinieron más retrasos. Bill demostraba interés si le cedían control creativo sobre Peter Venkman e incluso sugirió que mataran al personaje para luego convertirse en un fantasma. Ramis y Aykroyd consideraron seleccionar nuevos actores para que se unieran y continuaran la serie. Para 2014, continuaban provocando a los fans una y otra vez. Ivan Reitman dirigiría, el guión tenía forma y Bill retornaría, a pesar de confesar que odiaba las secuelas. A Bill le gusta molestar a los fans. Primero decía que la harían y luego cambiaba de parecer. La mención de ‘Ghostbusters’ en ‘Zombieland’ fue maravillosa y cuando apareció en los Spike TV Awards, Bill lucía fantástico en el traje de Cazafantasma. Al verlo dirían, sí, Bill participará en la próxima película, pero luego desmentían la idea inmediatamente. Lo que realmente estancó la tercera cinta fue la muerte de Harold Ramis. Poco después la idea de un “reboot” llegó a oídos de la prensa y cuando anunciaron la participación de Paul Feig y la decisión de usar un elenco totalmente femenino, las dudas arraigaron a los fans y las cosas empeoraron. Los “reboots” recientes han fracasado, especialmente el desastroso remake de Robocop. El avance en Internet se convirtió en el tráiler más odiado de YouTube, causando una miríada de críticas de fans asqueados de la nueva versión y muchos decidieron no ir a verla. La cinta está ahora en cartelera. ¿Es tan mala como todos lo habían predicho? Chequeen mi reseña en mi canal o hagan click en el vínculo en la esquina superior derecha de la pantalla. Como todos saben, si desean experimentar una tercera aventura con el elenco original, tienen que jugar el videojuego de 2009. Es una continuación fabulosa de la serie. Explican más de Gozer, la bibliotecaria y cómo murió, de donde salió la lama de la segunda cinta e incluso transcurre en 1991. ¡Uno de los mejores juegos adaptados de una película! Pueden encontrar mi video del juego en mi otro canal. ‘Ghostbusters 2’ es frecuentemente considerada una de las secuelas más menospreciadas. Fue vapuleada por los críticos, pero a pesar de esto hizo taquilla y probablemente hubiera recolectado más de no ser por la dura competencia de aquel año. Durante los 90 fue considerada una floja continuación y varios miembros del elenco expresaron su decepción por su baja calidad. Cuando los foros de internet ganaron popularidad, descubrí que a muchos les gustó la cinta y no la consideraban tan mala como el resto de la gente en 1989. Con la oportunidad de expresar su aprecio por la película, muchos han descubierto que sí es divertida. Los problemas siguen allí, pero la gente los ha perdonado con el tiempo. Para mí la cinta empieza bien. Vemos cómo viven los Cazafantasmas y sus cambios en los últimos 5 años. Ver a Ray a cargo de su propia tienda de libros, Egon como profesor y Peter como presentador de TV pareció bastante lógico, aunque a Winston no le dan muchas escenas. ¿Cómo se ganaba la vida luego de que los Cazafantasmas se separaran? Siempre tuve problemas con que la ciudad los culpara por los daños causados, resultando en que les prohibieran investigar fenómenos paranormales. El alcalde estaba de su lado en la primera cinta, y toda la ciudad vio al malvavisco gigante destruir todo, por lo que el súbito cambio de actitud fue absurdo. Tal vez la lama volvió a todos amargados, haciendo a los Cazafantasmas blanco fácil de las culpas. La idea de un demonio viviendo en una pintura me pareció genial, pero la cinta no explora mucho los planes de Vigo para dominar al mundo. Ray investiga su historia, pero la película lo expone en una catarata de diálogo de relleno. Lo que descubre suena interesante, pero el público se hubiera beneficiado si supiera más de su pasado, fortaleciendo al personaje y justificando porqué es una amenaza para los Cazafantasmas. Supuestamente es muy inteligente, pero tiene el diálogo del típico villano cuando intenta convencer a Janosz de unírsele y hacia el final tiene muy pocas líneas. Cuando Vigo se revela físicamente, es cuando el desenlace se desmorona. No le dice nada a los Cazafantasmas. Tan sólo es un gigantón sin demandas que se queda ahí parado hasta que los Cazafantasmas lo derrotan. En la edición original, los Cazafantasmas descienden saltando y lo atacan enviándolo de vuelta a la pintura, pero a las audiencias de prueba les desagradó, por lo que apresuradamente rodaron tomas adicionales y reconstruyeron los escenarios a medias, por lo cual hay tantos acercamientos y todo se ve insípido. Lo que debieron haber hecho es hacerle emerger de la pintura y usar el truco en el que la cámara se mueve en ángulo en relación a la pintura y lo enfoca saliendo del lienzo, como en 'The Last Crusade' cuando Indy camina sobre el puente invisible. Se nota que iban hacer esto, pues en el "detrás de cámaras" está Vigo de pie, hablando desde la pintura. Al parecer abandonaron esta idea y se decidieron por la cabeza flotante. Pero si hubieran insistido en la idea original habría sido un efecto visual más impresionante y habría añadido más suspenso a la reencarnación. La conexión entre Vigo y la lama es muy vaga. Supuestamente el río de lama desemboca en el museo donde forma un cascarón. Ray ve el río de lama en las fotos de la cabeza de Vigo, pero dado que carecemos de información sobre Vigo, nunca formamos una conexión fuerte entre los dos. En la primera cinta, los fantasmas regresan a la torre para energizar la llegada de Gozer. En la secuela, mientras los Cazafantasmas entran al museo, los fantasmas continúan causando estragos. Nunca entendí la conexión entre Vigo y los fantasmas, pues él parece no necesitarlos. La película fue clasificada "Para Todos" y la BBFC en Reino Unido no editó la versión teatral. La cinta sale librada a pesar de su índice de audiencia. Mi hermana y yo discutíamos siempre por la clasificación que recibió la cinta original, Ella insistía en que era "Para Mayores de 15" porque le aterraba, pero yo le recordaba que era "Para Todos". Es tan aterradora como la primera. Las cabezas empaladas en el subterráneo, la voz lúgubre que llama a Winston, la cabeza de Vigo emergiendo del lienzo y ver la llegada del Titanic siempre me causaban miedo. El fantasma de Janosz es absurdo y vestirlo como una niñera Victoriana contradice las reglas. ¿Cómo puede ser un fantasma si no está muerto? Aún así, es espeluznante. Se salen con la suya por su estilo y por lo que dejaban ver. Ciertamente es una cinta más oscura que la original, transcurre mayormente de noche, y la arquitectura de los escenarios aumentó estos elementos lúgubres. El problema más evidente es que la cinta no proporciona ideas nuevas. La ejecución de la historia sigue la misma pauta que la original. Parecería que sólo intercambiaron algunos nombres en el guión anterior y el resultado fue la secuela. Obviamente no es tan simple, pero se nota que es un refrito de la trama original, lo que es inconcebible si recordamos que tuvieron 5 años para desarrollar la historia. Las premuras en la producción y la presión de Columbia por capitalizar la popularidad de la serie animada resultaron en este "cuasi-guión". La cinta carece de la energía de la original. Es difícil señalar qué, pero falta algo que la impulse. La edición es estándar, nada impresionante, muchas tomas estáticas con pocos movimientos de la cámara. Se nota la premura por completar las tomas. Los ángulos escogidos por Reitman son excelentes, haciendo uso fabuloso del formato “cinemascope”. Ivan captura de nuevo la magia y el ambiente de Nueva York. Es muy bueno cuando tiene escenas con multitudes, presentes en ambas películas. La cinta no sufre del excesivo ruido presente en la primera cinta, gracias a mejoras en la calidad de los carretes y su sensibilidad a la luz. Las Anamorphic siempre necesitan más luz para obtener los mejores resultados. Pero ‘GB2’ carece de la gracia de la original y se queda corta en muchas áreas. Especialmente en el apartamento de Dana, en la secuencia de la corte y en el restaurante. El director fotográfico, Michael Chapman, inyecta más vida a las secuencias nocturnas. Por suerte, la mayoría de la cinta transcurre de noche y las escenas con Vigo y los túneles lucen fantásticos. La cinta es genuinamente graciosa y mantiene el mismo estilo de humor que la primera. Bill Murray hace lo que puede para elevar el nivel de humor, pero los actores se notan un tanto aburridos y distantes a pesar de su profesionalismo, lo cual refleja la energía de la cinta, pues los momentos más graciosos son contados. Mi personaje favorito fue Janosz, por su exagerado acento y su espléndido ritmo humorístico. Una vez se convierte en el sirviente de Vigo, se roba todas las escenas. ‘Ghostbusters 2’ definitivamente mejora viéndola por segunda vez. Si la has visto y no le encontraste gracia la primera vez, creo que otro intento no te hará cambiar de parecer, pero si es una cinta memorable de tu niñez, al regresar y analizarla más a fondo la encontrarás muy chistosa y habrán momentos que estamparán una sonrisa en tu rostro. La cinta no necesitaba más secuencias complejas. Siempre quise verlos cazando más fantasmas, pero sólo los vemos en una secuencia breve. Y la pintura al final con los Cazafantasmas es completamente absurda. ¿Por qué alguien haría eso? ¿La pintaron los espíritus? ¡Estoy confundido! Honestamente, no supera a la primera cinta y rara vez es así con una secuela, pero está lejos de ser una película mala en mi opinión. Es muy divertida y captura el espíritu neoyorkino una vez más. La película juega a lo seguro, pero si ignoran esto podrán disfrutarla realmente. A pesar de las prisas, la producción es de alta calidad y contiene todo lo que adoramos de los personajes. Son aún los Cazafantasmas con los que todos crecimos y eso es suficiente para mí. Pensé que te había perdido. Hola, Dana. Imaginé que vendrías. - ¡Aléjate, Janosz! - No creo que tengas otra opción. Míralo. No es el "Blue Boy" de Gainsborough. - ¡Él es Vigo! - No me importa, no te llevarás a mi bebé-- ¡Oscar! ¡Bastardo! ¡Tiene sentido! Vigo quiere reencarnar en el siglo XXI y necesita un cuerpo, como el de Oscar. - ¡Y somos los únicos que pueden detenerlo! - ¡Seguro que sí! ¡Detrás de ti, Ray! Que alguien llame a los Cazafantasmas. ¿No saben quién es él? ¡Feliz año nuevo! Si les gustó este video, pueden encontrar más en mi canal en YouTube o síganme por Twitter.

9) The Little Mermaid
Review: hey everyone caught once again and walk it back to the movie review and Andrew back to another anniversary review and since i reviewed i'm the 20th anniversary of tarzan no I do a Disney masterpiece I call it still now to review another classic Disney masterpiece from from Disney and a 20th anniversary the time but from a 30th anniversary from 1989 and everybody knows a story about this and it's even giving a live at a live-action adaptation remake but more on that later but everyone knows how this one's always been a classic as well when most especially one was classic music Disney musicals too as well that is of the Loula mermaid another one I always wanted to review as well I also know that classic film but I absolutely loved growing up as well sadly though my brother he's never seen this film all the way through I don't know why I know why he's never watched this um all the way through I tell him a lot of times watch the whole way through he says no I don't get I had some of the guys don't get him but the Little Mermaid everyone knows what the story of the Little Mermaid and how it's always been the classic Disney film ever since it came out it became the first animated film to gross over 100 million becoming the first animated blockbuster so that's something definitely something and one more guy said but the Little Mermaid it's a another Disney masterpiece and from the animation from 1989 is well made still to this day the characters are always classic characters the visor the voice cast as well the songs especially the main thing well the main song doo doo doo doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo-doo ah let's see voice / Sebastien voiced by family rights phenomenal job under the sea but yeah but let's say only goes for we all noticed but but very quick the critical exception got critically-acclaimed is 1/9 93 percent Rotten Tomatoes at high 7.6 90 DB worldwide gross of label was like over over 230 some million around there but it was the first day I'm a film to gross over huh past 100 millions and became the first animated blockbuster so but and the pacing is very is very fast it's only 83 minutes deadly fast pace the story is of the underwater Kingdom of land under water kingdom of Atlantica King Triton voiced by Kenneth Mars who well well known for two roles avoids grandfather in the land for time series all the other sequels including the television series so Kenneth Mars voice littlefoot's grandfather and all sleep plays inspector Kemp from Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein yeah but Kenneth Mars he voices King Triton and I say he's also another actor is now passed on may rest in peace and he is the ruler of he's the ruler of Atlantica and his young daughter 16 year old Ariel she's fascinated about the human world she's been collecting stuff from the human world like like oh she picks with this fork and she has no what if what a fork is what is this maybe it's a hair coma or something and with her foot with her friend flounder and why would they get this one the one ship and they get attacked by the shark which you later fight in the the first Kingdom Hearts game the shark and the Sebastian really the King supervisor keeping I always keeping a constant eye on her because you know tells her no no don't interfere with the human world and all that stuff one of the next to another where she where she goes to the surface she finds to see the boat and put people on the boat that should celebrate Prince Eric his birthday Prince Eric and the voice cast like Jodi Benson who voices Ariel for whose voice arrow for a lot of years she doesn't really want still does a wonderful job as Ariel crystal Daniel Barnes is Prince Eric likes to Samuel Samuel E Wright to Sebastian decent myrna's flounder Kenneth Mars as King Triton buddy Hackett's as scuttle the sea goal to top tells herself about the human world scuttle bunny Hackett's into the other actors enough of our comedic actor my most improved from it's a mad mad mad world well he's partnered with Mickey Rooney I mean which he did he does a good job as well and particle another eric falls in the ocean almost drowning ariel saves him and which ergo prince eric remember is that the the wonderful voice he hears but ariel swims away before the boy being seen and eric wants to find though the girl has that wonderful beautiful voice King Triton ultimately finds out about this goes to her secret place where she collects all the stuff from the human world and destroyed everything she gets upset and ultimately were the two eels flows him and jetsam who see the eyes through Ursula the sea witch voiced by a packed Carol yeah yeah Pat Carroll voices Ursula yet also still same boy voices in Kingdom Hearts games as well she does then also does a really good job as Ursula so floats when jetsam I take Ariel to see her through her together song you know you poor beautiful little thing and where she tells she tells that she can make a deal where to make you human you know make grow two legs make human and make the Prince fall in love with you and only to me it's end the contract and part of the deal is he had to let me your voice and try to even get him to kiss you you loopy human people be human permanent as a human before the by the third day as the Sun Goes Down so against with Sebastian says she signs the contract gives up her voice which works like keys in this little show and she gets pair of legs and since she's 2 min she has to hurry so service cuz she can't breathe and ultimately you know she likes like happy she has like she has feet she's learning how to walk and Prince Eric finds her like are you the girl who saved me or as a voice but she can't speak so our Eric thinks that's not her but Ariel she's excited to be with him like it takes him to his castle and like she's like no learn how like the dinner table she sees that fork that she's found she's like using as a comb but that's not the right way to do it or her appreciate blows he takes his pipe and blow smoke in the butt in the butler's face that was funny and what's the bastion the developer is a word she gets in the fight with the chef Louie was to cook a mini that was a cook em which Louie and the sequel's Wells like you but that's not fun this is fun see where do you just lose to chasing them wants to cook him so and then with Ursula we will keep Triton you know he's worried about his daughter and Ursula watch wha watching carefully and by the time it comes to the second day like it was nighttime they're on a boat together like you know try to get to get him to fall in love it I like kiss him and Sebastian gets like the its other critical critters to hit the beats and rhythms start singing and the plan ultimately to uh come close to work in if it wasn't for float some and jetsam to interfere or so Ursula were that she was getting close so she comes with a plan she disguised himself as a woman as a human woman using Ariel's voice to lure Erik and hypnotize him to make a forget about Ariel and marry marry her but Eric is her Ariel gets like hurt but then scuttle cuz they're gonna get buried on the boat and scuttle sees when the when Ursula puts the mirror and sees her real surf real form scuttles notices that's the sea which she hurts Beckett tells Sebastian and they get all like all like the animal all day like the dolphins are the birds whatever to are seals whatever other sea creatures to interfere with a wedding what why does look what I thought that was why where justice go goes up and screams and Ursula's face it's like and then it snaps Erik snaps out of the hypnotism and say the Ariel is the girl like she was searching for but the spell but to lay the spell wore off she gets her fin back Herschel I guess the real arm drags her down and keep trying is there tries to save her but uh but she can contract so Nora do that you must take her place are you waiting to do that for your daughter so he does the sacrifice and he puts his name in the contract I said it makes him become like this slow thing which which he at which Ursula stunts to all other people who signed contracts in the past this little thing are what this the whole thing is called though but but Ursula she gets the truck she gets the his um his Trident you say she and then she becomes like the new ruler of the oceans and usually tries to eliminate Ariel Eric in a fewer interferes like throws a harpoon at her and she inadvertently destroys floats min Jetson by accident and then she grows to giant like the like in the Olson the Kingdom Hearts scheme she grows to join net gigantic size start some swirling the waters and brings up broken up broken sunken ships Eric gets on one of them he ultimately which like um like but I mentioned I'm Clayton's death and Tarzan was very dark as well because you know how it showed the Scylla shadow of him being hanged but this is also very dark moments was especially with the how the animation how the aunt the animate the animation of the film is how it's well and made you say but it's very but um like Oh Clayton you'll see when his neck gets snapped though you don't see his physical neck snap you almost physically see his neck I sent because the vine though but here you literally see Eric's tear the Brooklyn ship from a book of peace the pointy end of the ship I forget the name was though but you see actually drive it into physically drive it into Ursula actually piercing into her body so it's like that death is much more darker than will clean stay at this dark that's me is one of the darkest deaths in Disney films but this one is much more much more darker because you just actually see it him physically drive it into Ursula really really killing her for good you need to see like they the that fast saw pointing go right through her back so yeah he that that was a very serious death because they just learned he just literally just went right through her like ah and then she's she's dead she got skewered and the spells worn off King trying back to his back to how it was and so seeing how Eric means to Ariel now he used his powers to make Ariel a human and they both get married and they both run off the sunset on the boat so it's much it's much too early because what had what had what hasn't said re thoughts The Little Mermaid we all know the story is we all how it turns out so it's me I need in I need to go like thirty minutes in this whole story because we all know how it is we all know the story of it the villain the how the way it is stories told now again the tesak had no ace mention for this now like all the other because there because now disease one want to make every single live-action live-action remake of Disney films like we say I gave my thoughts on the trailer for a Moulin I'm not sure I'm like this especially what people are a saint pitifully people are freaking out you know saying Oh where's Mu Shu there's no Mu Shu in here when I said about that but yeah I'm not sure I'm Mulan though but now they're making it Anna well it was announced in 2016 that they're gonna make a live-action of The Little Mermaid and by the casting who was gonna play in a director Rob Marshall who directed musical films as well like he we'd Freck he directed um he drew Bruce Lee did he directed Mary Poppins returns he directed other stuff like um I think he directed well he drove all I know you drink the fourth parts that Caribbean film on a stranger ties though but that's not musical but where's Rob Rob Rob Marshall yeah he directed the I directed Mary Poppins returns parts to Caribbean Stranger Tides the film 9 we damn do Lewis he directed Chicago that's what I also remember Marshall Chicago but he also directed into the woods that which I hated yes that's a Disney musical I absolutely hate it I did not like into the woods with a various temptations with the various tales like with Jack and the Beanstalk the Cinderella of The Little Red Riding Hood with giant Devlin like a pedophile like a pedophile istic big bad wolf and then just with the songs were absolutely terrible in it into the woods so yeah I handed into the woods that's one musical I did not like and I'm sorry I'm not the biggest fan I'm not the biggest fans of musicals in the first place though but there's been a few I like I like Little Shop of Horrors but I'm not big musical guy but Rob Marx at least directing it and for the casting I was as I wished I was thinking hoop we cast us as Ariel well one point you know there was talks that um for war I remember a while back though that cool um Chloe grace Moretz she was the talk to playing Ariel but declined to me I think used to me I think she would be a great a perfect cast member even my brother would grease that Chloe grace Moretz would play good Ariel I wish I wish that was a case though because she looked she dyed her hair red like she would look like Ariel to be honest me me me me my brother would her thinking she would be good at casting us as Ariel but I guess there was a girl from who play named Hayley was her name Haley Bailey it's Mikasa Arielle I don't know who she is I never heard of her name so I have no idea so I can have very much say but I just know I have not heard of her so I don't know I'm not sure on that but to me yeah my brother and I would think that glue to me Chloe grace Moretz would play good perfect playing as Ariel but that's as thousands of us though but the response of that Jacob Tremblay was put boys flounder now Jacob Tremblay he got ya whop race for the film with Owen Wilson called wonder you got a lot of praise for that well as he played that baby play that kid from the predator no that's the kid who went with a frickin predator mass where it goes out trick-or-treatin where it goes and shoots and blows it kills a guy in blows up the house as well not thinking nothing of it it's like Oh blew my house okay goes and walks away look isn't it never happens yeah that kid yeah dick u-turn that's Jacob Trimble he goes and he's no voice flounder now but I'm gonna talks with a list of Melissa McCarthy she's gonna play Ursula which maybe I could see I would know who flew fuku play Ursula but if I think about it maybe I could see her if there's a trailer when it come out then I would probably see myself maybe Melissa McCarthy as Ursula then um this is with a girl um uh how about fauna our finer who she's gonna boy scuttle so now in this film scuttle is gonna be a female instead of male like with Buddy Hackett voice so all of our finer she's gonna voice scuttle great and I don't know because a lot of there's nobody with always switching like gender swapping for different characters another film so and then for who's playing against playing Eric Prince Eric Harry Styles he is the one from the from the from the boy band One Direction and which he is he guess he starred in the movie Krystal Christopher Nolan's on Dunkirk I've seen Dunkirk not entirely sure on their ivory watch Dunkirk Genet if I fall if I see if I fully like Dunkirk or not but yeah Harry Styles he was in it which I wouldn't notice I will be who is his I've heard one direction but I'm not fan of I've never got a family with and I wasn't a fan of any of those bands like I'm one direction or I'm always of the one there was a bad I can't think of it though but still he's gonna play as Prince Eric and then playing King Triton which I was like really he's been cast as King Triton Javier Bardem as King Triton yeah I remember I didn't know who won the Oscar for playing shigar from no control men playing captain Salazar from the fifth Pirates of Caribbean film dead men tell no tales and um our lead back are our main bad guy in um the James Bond film Skyfall he's playing King Triton yeah so does the kasev right now for the live action okay I suppose be really good get a 2020 release we'll see on that because you got the look guys we got Moulin that's coming out first so so male coming up this opposed to come up maybe later in 2020 but yeah that's desert cast for a live action of of the Little Mermaid but it's not going to touch on the classic of this film not by mothball miles not by a longshot but the voice cast in this Jodi Benson Oh always be great as a voicing Ariel Samuel E Wright as Sebastian you know under the sea well some as a Kenneth Mars King Trident blackest cuttle crystal Daniel Barnes Prince Eric Pat Carroll as Ursula Jason Mariners as flounder those supporting the whole voice cast is a really great job and I'm gonna mention that is directed by that our two directors Ron Clement and John Musker where they both together they directed the bullet through directed the Great Mouse Detective then this film and afterwards they direct Aladdin Hercules Treasure Planet Princeton's the Frog and then Moana oh they both did a wonderful job with the Little Mermaid I think it I would say well I like all I like all the movies now the great mountain his classic same with Aladdin Hercules but I think this is my favorite to film from both of them I mean one is good princes the Frog tritscher Planet a review Treasure Planet and I called it a bit underrated but but Hercules Aladdin over the to film the fishing from the Renaissance you know the Disney rented us on the site they I think this is their this is their best film definitely another classic masterpiece for such an iconic character like Ariel Mabel did a great job around the music by Allen mekin who did the music for Beauty and the Beast as well wonderful musics the score the songs are classic as well definitely classic specially under the sea and the animation from 1999 is spot on and then we're going direct spawn to more sequels well sequel and then a prequel which was gonna come after next The Little Mermaid to returned to the sea now this was a is one of my favorite of the directed video Disney sequels they did during the time this is one of my favorites one of the better ones to me I have to say so I'll get to this one though but then um the prequel Ariel's beginning honestly didn't honestly care for that one because it's a prequel which leads up to the first film to me I think it's a pointless one cuz not I'm not Bhosle bit overall fan of prequels anyway cuz how is it good I was gonna be difficult for how we know in the first for the first movie anyway so yeah Ariel's beginning I'd honestly don't care for but this one I think I find much better and I think it's a better seat as beerus equal than Ariel's beginning especially when they say it's one of the better of the directed video uh films like they were doing at the time so yeah but this look at this will be next but I like to me I like returns to see but this is a this is a dizzy is a Disney masterpiece in and of itself so yeah so I only care more for going further than this what more can I say it's a classic much more classic it's another Disney masterpiece like Tarzan The Lion King beating the Beast so yeah I said well it's almost 1/3 missin like I said I probably wasn't Google but anyway what market it was more like I say though yeah oh and another I know another Disney masterpiece I definitely know when I give five stars at five 10 at ten whatever so yeah The Little Mermaid one mark I say we don't just take this in class I get some at another Disney masterpiece deadly reason I felt a smile on my face thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next review of the sequel Blue Mermaid 2 returns to see sleeping for that makes her watch and like said watch The Little Mermaid not seen it please over a highly recommended to a great Disney film such a for a great iconic Disney character as well thanks for watching stay tuned later.
