IT (2017)
Not as Good as the Original
I am a gigantic fan of the original "It" miniseries, and this latest version pales in comparison. First and foremost there is a complete over abundance of CGI. This made the film so much less scary than the practical effects of the original because so many things just looked fake. Secondly the clown is overshadowed by the brilliance of Tim Curry in the original. The appeal of his Pennywise was that he wasn't overly creepy looking. You could see his clown showing up at a birthday party and not be too hesitant to get a balloon from him. 2017 Pennywise is just your typical creepy clown. No child I know would want to want to go near him. I also found it odd that this version took place in the late 80's. I understand why they did that but it just didn't ring true to the book. I also appreciated the kids in the original more. They were more fleshed out and likable. All these critiques being said, I will say that the film kept me entertained the whole time. The kids were pretty endearing and funny. Ritchie was particularly entertaining. There were some scary parts that weren't done by computer, and there's a nice little homage to Tim Curry's Pennywise in the film. It's worth a watch.
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
This was unbearable.
I can say in all honesty that this was the most awful, unbearable movie I have ever seen in my life-and that's being nice. It's a shame that it isn't in the bottom 10 of IMDb.com! I think we need to work together to get it there. Instead, you people have rated it higher then, say, Mean Girls, which actually had laughs and a plot? It seems like everyone around me has lost their sense of humor! The story line was awful- in fact, I still can't figure out what the plot is supposed to be. I guess that he helps his friend win class president or something? In all honesty, I could not sit through more than an hour of the movie. I mean, I did, but my mind was somewhere else towards the end. I didn't laugh once throughout the whole thing. If that is comedy, then I guess Lord of the Rings is a chick-flick?? Oh yeah one more thing- DON'T VOTE FOR PEDRO!
Grandpa's Magical Toys (1988)
Best Children's Video
I have loved all of the wee sing videos ever since I was about three years old, and I loved all of them, especially this one. I don't think one day ever passed where I didn't have to have it playing. As for those of you who say it's something only a two-year-old can enjoy, well- yeah that's the point. The title "Wee Sing- Grandpa's Magical Toys" gives it away, or at least it should. All of the Wee Sing videos are most likely for or recommended for children from 2 or 3 to 5 and 6!These videos aren't meant to entertain adults! If you want to see something meant for adults, you would think it would be pretty obvious to stray away from titles such as this.
