My Review-

While this is not Tom Hanks' best movie it still quite an enjoyable one, mainly because of the dog in the movie. This whole movie was set on the relationship between Tom Hank's character and the dog named Hooch. It did not matter what the storyline was about really just that these two had to get along, almost like an odd couple of sorts and during the course of the movie you fell in love with the Hooch just like Hanks did. This is not a movie to be watched twice or maybe it is granted that it only be once in a while. this clearly shows how far Tom Hanks has come from being a dog watched to an Oscar winner. I guess all actors have to do bad movies then start winning Oscars, then again some wont.

My Review-

I have watched South Park off and on throughout the years, and I have my share of favorite episodes from the seasons that I have seen, and after watching this I want to start the show from the very beginning. It took me a while to finally watch this movie, when some people would keep taking about it every now and then or hum songs from it but now having seen it I can see why so many people like this movie, and why it was a HUGE deal when we finally saw Kenny's face for the first time. With this movie Parker and Stone went all out with the profanity and jokes they could not normally use on television and I liked how we finally got to see the children use the words we would normally no hear them say; especially with Cartman who loves to swear himself. I really liked the storyline of how the parents finally were able to take control of their kids after in all the episodes I have seen the parents are seeing doing nothing, even though once again this movie provide more a reason for me to dislike Kyle's mom and making her one of the most annoying characters on the show, and Kyle finally standing up to her. I also thought it was kind of cool that it was sort of a musical at times and would explain in certain songs what they wanted or what they were trying to do. I also liked how we saw the relationship that Satan had with Saddam, which was a funny side story to go along with how ridiculous the movie was even though it was really funny.

My Review-

This movie was actually pretty good, even though it was from the early 80s and I finally learned how finally girls acted I still enjoyed it. Also Nicolas Cage was pretty good in the movie for one of his first films where he actually had lines and was in it a lot more than usual. Hearing some the 80s music pop-up every now and then was also awesome to hear again. Throughout the movie I found myself talking like they would in the movie. Now that I have finished watching some of the lingo is stuck in my head, which at this moment and be seen as both a good thing and a bad thing. If you have ever wanted to see Nicolas Cage before he started doing bad movies watch this one. Also it is quite enjoyable and it was really funny when it wanted to be.

Critics Review- "better than the first one, but still sucky."- Bob Grimm "Reno News and Review"

Rotten Tomatoes Rating- Critics- 25% Audience- 48%

Out of a possible 5 stars-2 stars

My Review-

Well this movie was a little bit better than the first one, it did still suck, well the action scenes were a little better, it was really hard to understand what they were saying at times. This movie had characters who at times did not deliver their lines so well, especially with Neeson, and Finnes. This movie was not worth watching even though once again it was quite better than the first one. Also I read there was going to be a sequel and one is not needed for this movie.

My Review-

Caught this movie when it just started at my cousins house, and it was just okay, more kid friendly then the other Snow White movie. It was also a little funnier, but that was because of the dwarves when they were on screen. Other than that it was whatever, one of the worst parts in the movie was Juila Roberts as the evil queen, she as not so evil. She was more annoying. The best part of the movie was how Collins was a bitch as Snow White to the queen at the end. Oh and Sean Bean was the King and that was about it.

My Review-

This may have been one of this movies I have ever seen, it was funny at times, but that was only once in awhile other then that the movie did not quite get me to like it, for this has probably been one of the worst movies Pauly Shore has been in along with Stephen Baldwin. However for them to be playing two complete morons it was perfect for them. Some of the other actors were funny in the movie, including the small cameo from Jack Black and Kyle Glass, but I do not recommend this movie to be watched.
