The Wiggles: You Make Me Feel Like Dancing

starring: Murray Cook, Anthony Field, Sam Moran
directed by: Paul Field

Release Date July 29, 2008
My girls hadn't been exposed to Beatles type music before, and they seemed to take to it pretty well. The music seemed a little different from what we are used to from the Wiggles, but my girls (ages 2 and 3) seemed to enjoy it, especially the 3 year old. However, in the grand scheme of things I don't think they liked this DVD as well as some of the others.

The Wiggles - Getting Strong

starring: Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt, The Wiggles, Anthony Field, Sam Moran
directed by: Paul Field

Release Date October 09, 2007
This is by far the worst Wiggles DVD. The songs are not interesting, not catchy and the entire DVD is by far the most boring Wiggles DVD in our collection. The songs also sound poorly recorded, the vocals are way in the background, arrangements are bad, not many wiggly dancers, this DVD completely is a waste of money. Pick up Top of the Tots (2004) and you'll see a big difference in the production/recording, and well thought out music. I hope they are not this bad in concert.

Hamlet

starring: Lewis Arlt, Blair Brown, Leon Addison Brown, Roscoe Lee Browne, Bill Buell
directed by: Campbell Scott

Release Date December 18, 2001
The Hallmark Entertainment release "Hamlet," adapted and directed by Campbell Scott and Eric Simonson, is a unique interpretation of the most celebrated drama in the English language. The crew does a great job of bringing the story into the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. The film is beautifully shot, and the sets are breathtaking.
The cast overall does a fine job. Campbell Scott gives a fine performance as Hamlet, bringing a unique spin to the role. In this version, you get the sense that Hamlet is actually going mad, and Scott pulls it off very well. He's no Branagh, but he comes danged close. Roscoe Lee Browne is fantastic as Polonius, bringing a hint of tenderness to the role. My only complaints in terms of acting are two: ... Read More:

Tremors 4 - The Legend Begins

starring: Michael Gross, Sara Botsford, Billy Drago, Brent Roam, August Schellenberg
directed by: S.S. Wilson

Release Date August 24, 2004
The best that can be said about this film is that it is better than Part 3, which was the nadir in this series that managed to produce two good films before taking a nosedive. This time the action moves to the Old West, where the burrowing graboids (this time christened "dirt dragons" or something like that) have killed all the workers at a silver mine near the town of Rejection. Prissy Eastern mineowner Gummer (Michael Gross), an ancestor of the later gun nut, comes out to investigate why profits from the mine have declined so precipitously.

Although the change of era is inspired, this film just seems to be going through the motions. I wouldn't have expected the filmmakers to get even two good films out of the premise of burrowing worm monsters, ... Read More:

Role of a Lifetime

starring: Todd Babcock, Scott Bakula, Joel Brooks, Edie Dearing, Maria Ford

Release Date September 07, 2004
Scott Bakula turns in a bravura performance in "Role of a Lifetime." The range of characters he demonstrates is reminiscent of his days in "Quantum Leap" - the man is amazing. Bakula plays an over-the-hill actor who is presumed dead. He returns, unrecognized, to test for the role he was born to play: himself! The biopic is being written and directed by his ex-wife. Along the way, he begins to see himself as others had seen him. Lessons will be learned all around. Fans of Bakula will thoroughly enjoy this film.

The Keeper

starring: Giancarlo Esposito, Regina Taylor, Isaach De Bankolé, Ron Brice, O.L. Duke
directed by: Joe Brewster

Release Date January 06, 2004
Seeing The Keeper caused me to retrospect back to the movie
''Against the Walls''based on the story of Attica 71'. This movie has major significance to what prisoners (innocent or not)
has to endure day-to-day! ''You can't be a Tyrant & a bully and not expect for the tables to turn on you & those like you''!
This movie is about Ethinicity,Good-Evil,Love-Hate and Bonds that are broken due to jealousy. It tells people of any creed or color to embrace & be Proud of who & what you are. Remain Humble don't let others steer you wrong! Don't make assumptions of others because you don't walk in their shoes (it's much deeper than what's on the surface). The same jail that Lamont (Esposito) put prisoners in was the same in which he becomes a prisoner!!

Release Date January 27, 2004
This is the title of a Carmen Miranda, Alice Faye film but this is not the right one. It comes up with searches for the musical or the cast but this is not THAT one.

East Side Kids - Let's Get Tough!

starring: Leo Gorcey, Bobby Jordan, Huntz Hall, Gabriel Dell, Tom Brown
directed by: Wallace Fox

Release Date October 22, 2002
The kids all want to enlist; they're bitten by the war bug. However, they're all too young, so they do their part by harassing a local Asian who owns a store. It turns out, he isn't even Japanese; he's Chinese, and he is murdered in his store. The kids feel so bad, they take it upon themselves to find his killer, and run into an underground ring of Japanese spies.

The picture quality on this film isn't great, and neither is the sound quality. After all, these films were made by a very low level company.

Normally Leo Gorcey stands out, but Huntz Hall really steals the show. His kleptomania and great zingers really liven up the film. He certainly doesn't get the credit he deserves as a comedian.
