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.

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

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.

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.

For years Hook is one of favorite movies with a great story about Peter Pan who is adult now and forgot who he was unit Captain Hook Kidnaps his kids and now he must go to Neverland and be Peter Pan that he was before and it’s too late only Tinker Bell can help him this about close as Peter Pan story in movies much as I was a Peter Pan fan back as a kid growing and remember see this movie back in the days and liked it it has good acting and good action and is a lot of fun to watch from start to the end it is another of Robin Williams great in my view this movie was Director by Steve Spielberg and he did a great job as well he got a great cast lineup as well Steven was not happy much with the ending of Hook but it ended good and funny in my view.

Acting
Great lineup you had Julia Roberts as Tinker Bell and Robin Williams as Peter Pan and Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook he did Fantastic as evil Hook pretty much the acting of teens and kids was great as well so no bad acting in this one from what I see.

Funny moments and great moments of the movie

When they were eating food that was not there it was a game Where you Imagine food in your mind then it will show up and it did it was one of my top moments and well there many more that I don’t have time to list.

Favorite Lost boy member
Well I did like Rufus he was funny throw insults at Dinner at Peter it was funny could not stop laughing at that he was great but could of had a better faith at the end is what I think for Rufus.


Final thoughts
If there any movie that I would pick on My birthday to Review it was this one because this another one of favorite movies with Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and Julia Roberts which they did great this movie is fun to watch anytime in my view and if you have not see it you should because you will indeed like it as I did.

Movie Review
Ok after see this one the plot is silly and I think this movie will indeed fit in this era the movie is about what a women who dress up as boy to see what life is as a boy or dude must say she indeed found out that for sure what something is no one knows that her but her brother so was can of funny but when she meets Rick she then falls in love but it will be hard because rick thinks she a dude and not a girl all I got to say wait unit you see Rick face when truth is out this movie does have some comedy and funny spots but it more silly to me from start to end and had me shaking my head thinking what the heck did I just see.

Acting
Well not the best but ok Joyce Hyser did s good job acting like a dude I am sure she look back at this one and laugh at her role in this so not bad acting as for the other little cheesy if you ask me.


Final thoughts
Well not my favorite movie this was release in 80’s but in today era would fit well guess I can’t complain most 80’s movies was like this back in day check it out if you need a good laugh Is all I got to say.

Movie Review
Must say this is goofing movie who ever write this has a crazy mind pretty much this movie is a cheating on wife movie but the wife gets Revenge by making her cheating husband life a living hell boy does she even bye blowing up the house and sending kids to rich women house the one he is cheating with this is a comedy movie but plot felt like a Drama movie from start to end in my view plot was ok had a few holes in it but not bad still had some laughs in this one I did was wife evil or not no just got Revenge and this one movie that shows cheating on someone you love is not good idea to do as for ending of this movie it was ok nothing huge though but song fit in well before it roll to the ending credits must say this was a silly movie.


Acting
Roseanne played Ruth in this the one who Husband was cheating on she was pretty good in this with the way She got revenge and her husband she one woman you won’t want to cheat on in this one very good acting also Meryl Streep was good in this and I don’t say that much because not too much of a fan of her movies so she was good in this acting in this one was not bad at all.

Most funny Movie Scene
Well there was not too much funny ones but 2 woman eating donuts in there mouth was can of funny and Disturbing some other wise there a few other parts that was funny but not too many which was a bummer unless I am not looking hard enough.


Closing thoughts
Not my favorite movie of all time but it was good with The Who he cheating on his wife and she getting revenge on him story has more drama then comedy is what I think but if your a fan of Roseanne I think you will like this old 80’s movie with her in it.


She-Devil (1989)
7.0 out of 10 for good
