Movie review
Well this one is not a bad movie can of like it even if it was writing can of odd for a story but a good Adventure movie between a boy in a wheelchair and a Weird looking alien who came on earth and lost his family now they must find before NASA finds them and could be locked up for forever I can of like movies like but also think they are Cheesy sometimes but this one had good action and Adventure for a movie did have me at edge of seat a few time and it was can of funny as well after see this movie does below in 80’s fits in well as for ending it was good pretty much a great type movie.
Acting
Acting in this was not the best but it was not worst so In between I say for bad or good Is what I think.
Alien loves soda in this?
Must be they sure use soda a lot in this movie to aliens which was funny in my view everybody like soda even if your Alien.
Final thoughts
Not a bad movie see this movie years ago and figure I would watch again as adult and must say aliens do look good and silly as well but if you do like Adventure movies this one is for and I see you on Wizard of Oz 80th birthday for the movie review of Wizard of Oz 80 years later.

Wizard of Oz will go down to me as one of greatest magic movie of all time Along with book series is it close to book series sort of Characters are great in this one the intro of movie has a nice opening I remember see this movie for the first time and witch give me a few nightmares that for sure and the flying monkeys as well was scary some but it is a good musical movie as well lots of great songs which I be list here in a bit this will be a bit longer figure since it’s movie 80th birthday anyway from start to the end this movie is indeed a classic with lots of great Characters and even a great ending with her saying there no place like home.
Effects
For a 1939 movie effects of Tornado was Fantastic which lead us to many more In movies after this so effects of Wizard of Oz was cool in my view and also Technicolor was pretty cool when she open the door and everything went from black to white and color that made the movie great as well.
Facts
Judy Got slap by laughing when lion pull his tail and got slapped for laughing many times the guy who slap said sorry to her.
Somewhere Over The Rainbow was almost Remove from the Movie Good thing it was not Because it is a Great Song.
Favorite Characters of the movies
Well that can of tough one because most of all of them I like so if I was to put them in order it would go like this.
Dorothy
Lion
Tin man
Witch
Munchkins
Glinda
Scarecrow
Top favorite songs of the movie
Somewhere over the rainbow
Only if I had a brain
Off to see the Wizard
Follow the yellow brick road
Why did witch want the slippers
Maybe because she want them because they powerful they never did say though but that what I think.
Well whatever you say about this has been a classic for 80 years and will forever be with a great story, great music and great acting in this with a great cast as well From Judy Garland as Dorothy, Frank Morgan as Professor Marvel / The Wizard of Oz / The Gatekeeper / The Carriage Driver / The Guard and many many more who made this movie a classic so check out this movie if you have not it is a great classic for the whole Family.

Cast
Anthony Michael Hall as Johnny Walker
Robert Downey JR. as Leo Wiggins
Paul Gleason as Wayne Hisler
Uma Thurman as Georgia Elkans
Movie Review
This movie pretty much is about a top high school football who is top star and many school recruiters are try to get him so where does he go well that up to him the movie is comedy and does have some laughs in it plot can of had a few plot holes it otherwise it not a bad movie and was can of Cheesy 80’s movie this also had a small Romance between Georgia and Johnny Walker not a whole though just some too me this was good but could of more Comedy because story seem can of boring as well could of been better and for ending would of like to know if he made it big or not but never did say anyway will say this a good fair movie in my view.
Acting
This was Uma Thurman film Debut she was cute and funny in this movie in this a great film debut for Uma who went on to play poison ivy years later in Batman and Robin years later as for Anthony Michael Hall most Roles In movies I like but this one seem can of goofing one so let say his acting was ok also did like Robert Downey JR. acting he was funny and he went on years later to play superhero Iron Man isn’t that something the acting was not the best but good.
Final thoughts
Seem like it was water down some but still funny with a great lineup but for the plot of movie could of see more to make it Shine movie anyway is it worth checking yes you might like it or not it is not worst I see.
