Movie review
For a old movie not bad not the best too about a guy and his kids and a hot nanny (Sophia Loren) on some houseboat get know each other well this said it a comedy but not much in my view as nothing much was too funny on this movie plot was along with a good romantic movie from start to end slowing build up but good also intro was cool with drawing credits of names like kids draw it they also did that with the ending but no credits very cute way to end the movie by the way.
Acting
Sophia Loren again shine in this one for acting she was great in this one just love her acting any movie she In is gold too me just great a fan of her movies I am as for acting it was good Cary played a good father figure to kids in this one.
Closing thoughts
This proves that some can live on a beat down houseboat and still get along with kids I like the way story set up Romantic for the ending that ending I see coming though again nice ending with :-) At the ending not much comedy though as it said though also see this on dish network it said he had 3 daughters but in the movie he had one daughter and two boys so mis error as other sites said kids anyway if you do like Sophia Loren Movies think you will like this one.

Movie review
Well not the best movie I see what went wrong with this well Bette Davis was in it for only 15 mins after problems with plot writing Bette Davis did not like it from what I read so she was not happy and was not in movie after 15 mins and after see the whole movie I can tell why it try to be funny and good but it was Cheesy movie too me the whole movie was just story of mom and daughter sharing a body and one of them soul in a cat was silly and can of Confusing too me the ending was can off odd as well I do say there was some funny stuff not a whole lot in this one from start to ending.
Acting
Well Bette Davis acting was good was too bad she didn’t finish the movie as for other acting Barbara Carrera was good but not my Favorite For Acting not best acting but let say ok.
Closing thoughts
Well could of been a great scary movie if it was played out well but once you had Lead actress leave after being in movie for only short time is not a good sign either would of like more to plot as well but it was a B rated more and we had some here in the 80’s but anyway doubt it I check this out again anytime soon.

Journey To the Center of the Earth (1989) Movie Review quick
Movie Review
Well have to say first half when they went to center of the earth and wind up in Atlantis city was good but 2 half which say it took a turn for a worst when they found it unsure what happen seem just it like Fall apart movie fast I was hope it got better but did not Seems like it was rushed from there because they had no clue where they were going with story got can of boring acting was pretty bad and pretty much throw us not long Scenes and also ending was not cup of tea pretty much went to how this all happen with No answer how did he get him guess the women with black hair showed him how to get home but they did not show that either so not best ending I see as well as it left me with me ? Marks a lot.
Acting
Well first half not too bad 2 half bad so for first time acting was 50/50 sort of split for good and bad first time I said that too.
Closing thoughts
This version of Journey to center of earth was not good there is other movies of story this is based on book which is way better then this movie have not read it but after this one may or watch other versions of the movie sure they are better then this one for some reason the first half was good though so give them some credit though if I ever get a chance to see the other movies will review them in the future no plans as of now though.
Journey to center of earth (1988)
5.5 out of 10 for not good.

Cast
Fred savage as Brian Stevenson
Howie Mandel as Maurice
Daniel Stern as Glen Stevenson
Rick Ducommun as Snilk
Frank Whaley as Boy
Ben Savage as Eric
Movie Review
It has been a whole since I see this one have not see this one since it was on HBO years ago and now as a Adult do think this movie is funny and goofing as well I see many movies but this one take the cake for being silly in a good way I might added because this one is great and I liked it everything in this movie was funny and had great plot and acting as well monsters did look creepy though and also was that world a dream world or something you can only enter at night and have to be back to the real world or else turn into one of them before sunrise and also the end battle with kids vs boy and ugly snilk was pretty good battle too as well as for ending it had a great ending sort of sad one not too sad though the ending song with talking heads song was a great way to end a great comedy movie.
Acting
Must say Howie Mandel as Maurice he was funny monsters he is very funny in roles like this loved him gremlins as well him and Fred savage work very well with screen time they did in this they were great in this one along with the other acting in this one was great also added this was Ben Savage first film he star in which is something years after this he went on to make another great series called Boy meets World which did well.
Funny or not
Was funny when bully who played buzz on home alone in this one Maurice took a piss in apple juice was pretty funny when he said piss who put piss in my apple juice very funny that was there was a lot of funny moments in this one that for sure.
Closing thoughts
A very good 80’s movie fits in well with that era if they did a remake in today doubt it would be great as 80’s ones because this one was funny monsters Costumes look great too
Also Ben Savage was one of monsters during the baseball game you have to look fast to see him as monster though did not notice that which is something also Ben and Fred sister plays one of monsters as well but can not tell which one as there many little monsters in this one well for years I will remember this movie being goofing and funny comedy movie.
