My Review

Anybody thinking this has to do with Chucky nope this was way way before Chucky era so movie starts with like a Circus theme not a bad intro at all a odd start yeah with the kids running then a huge boom happens I guess this unlock atom secrets sort of like young Einstein type but this kid is very smart now he knows the how to spilt the Atom he gets a gift later on that is a Atom set can of odd gift to give to a kid at that young atom set that is and I wonder why no is looking into this kid atom can be dangerous as in big boom hopefully it does not end that way before that it does and boy it create a huge boom even if was test everybody goes crazy don’t blame them I would too if I heard a big boom this movie is only a hour and 7 mins long so wonder what else will happen with the time this is a 1954 movie so not guess we see what goes down before it ends. This movie feels like our gang with the kids thing but it is can of cute so what do the kids do next well they made popcorn with atom that a lot better then making a bomb not a bad idea they could make lots nd lots of money the cop though is on there case trying to catch him he like a Sneaky little guy but kids are too smart for him and he is weak as well but then they slowing start to tell everybody was not believe it much in fact kids was called a joke but then later everything went well and the film ended in a comedy way very funny way.

After watching this one will say it was cute and good least kids did something fun out of atom way making popcorn more better as well out of machine very nice short 1 hour 7 mins of a film in view again the old ones were good one again this sort of remind me of our gang with the group of kids making popcorn I do like how this story was written and acting was not bad either something I would watch again down the line.

I give Child’s play (1954) a rating of 7/10 for good.

My Review

This one stars Laurel and Hardy 2 comedy classic I am not sure if I heard of them before but let’s see if they made me laugh or not in this next review of there movie.

I guess this is the story of Babes in Toyland must say a nice Introduce of characters there at the start so we know who is who and then we see How Toyland is look nice there is a lot of story which you made of heard of little Bo peep and the women who live in huge shoe I remember hearing them stories when I was a kid that for 2 toy makers there must find a way to keep there mom shoe house bye owning the evil landlord the money the hair on Laurel and Hardy look very funny while that going on little bo peep look for her sheep and gets help from some story time characters a guy who look like Peter Pan wants to marry little bo peep but bad news after a error with toy soldier which is not good because there mom is about to lose the house and be throw out in the street so they try to steal the money and the crime is getting dump in the water that sort of fun crime lol so the the only way out is little bo peep marry that crazy landlord or whatever he call ☎️ but Laurel helps her by putting Hardy in the wedding dress this work for now but crazy guy has other plans he frames Tom, Tom for Kidnapping pig from the three little pigs and later Hardy and Laurel found him but Tom, Tom and little bo peep are trapped in cave with no way out look like with that crazy dude on the Loose with them then he teams up with ugly looking things look like there going to be a battle with them invade toyland it was funny battle look like they were losing then why not use them Soldiers they made early and boy did they clean house saving everybody and the movie ended in a funny way as well.

Well that was funny it did indeed make laugh 2 of most funny guys in the world but I wonder if little bo peep and Tom, Tom got married think so never did say but that ok lots of great characters Mickey Mouse going to war was funny he look a little creepy but funny for a 1934 movie it was indeed comedy gold with great acting and fun musical as well hats off to cast and crew for making this one great it was indeed fun to watch this indeed was a classic movie to me as well if you like good comedy movies indeed watch this for a laugh very funny movie This was.

I give March of the Wooden or babes in toyland movie a rating of 7/10 for great.

My Review

Well this is my very first Shirley temple movie review very honor to review one of her movies and she indeed sadly miss in today era.

Well first 12 mins everyone was crying tears wear up in the air and I was wonder if this going to be a sad movie or not but later the movie goes from black and white to all color then this fairy show up and turns the dog into a human and cat a women dress in black which could be bad don’t know so story is they must find a blue bird which will be her happiness I guess interesting movie this feel like Snow White since Shirley look like she wearing a Snow White outfit maybe the blue bird will give her gold but where the heck do you find this blue bird well that the adventure part of the movie must say Costumes look very nice for a 1940’s movie also brother and sister fight over a pony and women in black dress had a odd look like she was can of smile I think she do something soon she look like villain type then she breaks the Statue for some reason very odd character the women in white dress reminds me of good witch from wizard of Oz with blue light on her and that women in black true self comes out she was indeed evil after all boy later on she payed for it the cat women died in a Blazer fire which she try to kill them with well on to next land what do you call this guess magic land with a blue bird they must be getting close then they meet god children and they board a ship guess this leads them being born later on so was that god not too sure but ok so ship look good though I had a feeling they find blue bird at the end and they did I wonder if this was a dream look like it but I also wonder if the ending would of lead to a another movie probably not but it had a cute ending to a good movie.

What a interesting movie that I see a adventure looking for a blue bird and meeting odd people in a land of magic I guess the plot was can of confusion a little but did enjoy Shirley in this one her acting was good she did a lot of crying in this one but the ending turn out to be a good should they add someone who try to stop well they did sort of with that woman who was a cat but she was weak but that was alright not a bad 1940’s movie would it be a movie I watch again let say maybe but if you like Shirley temple movies I think you like this one as well.

I give The Blue bird (1940) a rating of 7/10 for good.

My Review

More good o old movies heard lots of great reviews on this next one so figure to check it out and well see if I do like it or not this one came out in 1944 by the way.

Just think if you could have the power to know what happen tomorrow well this why I found the movie interesting movie on how this guy can get info fast and who or what he getting it from well a old guy give it too him first I thought he drunk but it was true everything he read did happen just think how great this could be raise him to the top more money finding out future events as well but there people out there who do not believe it true know they throw that in but that makes plot even more interesting one also this sort of love story as well which is ok 👌 in my view I wonder if he can get sports score Dow points high or low or maybe even the weather but the more he brag about it others will ask how he doing it that not bad writing and just when you think things are going well for him the paper he gets from the old guy say he will be shot and killed I had a feeling there would throw that so now I was wonder how he fix this and avoid being killed before it’s help he gamblers and wins but later on gets Rob on the way back could robbers be the one that shots him things do get out of hand and look like they shot but turn out to be a catch that was good and movie ending in a great way not a bad movie this it was very good I liked it.

Have to agree with people on this being good it was indeed that also it was a great comedy great story and little romance as well which fits in well with this movie as for the movie when it hit close to the end was wonder how it will end will they throw us off or give us a good ending and boy they sure did that for sure and acting was very good as well some of best acting as well in this a movie that is a must see for anybody who like the good old movies too and in the end he prove that sometimes all news can be fake as well hats off to this would watch it again sometime if I could.

Well that it for this review see you next week for the next one have a good night 💤

I give It Happen Tomorrow (1944) a rating of 7/10 for great.

Rock, Rock, Rock (1956) Movie Review

 Starring……….. Fred Manfred, Tuesday Weld and Connie Francis

Director…… Will Price

Synopsis

A young teenage girl desperately tries to earn enough money to buy a dress for school rock and roll Dance.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

This next review is from the year 1956 called Rock, Rock , Rock never see it or heard it before so let’s see what I think.

Well can say this is a musical and teen drama well guess you have a problem just singing about it makes you feel better opening moments is around a girl who dreaming about going to dance but she out of money so must find a way to pay for dress for the dance because he father won’t give too her he reminds me as mr crabs money hog who going to cancel accounts if she keeps running out of money after watching first 17 mins there was some interesting music from lots of legends of Chuck berry and others I think the girl singing was Dubbed maybe she can’t sing well so they added that not much a fan of that but girl had a find a way to get a quick $30 bucks seem like it was tough to get that back in days this movie was ok seem to force on music more now I know why it’s Rock, Rock, Rock but that good they force on music a lot but heck this was 1950’s so movies were like this though so I wonder how the rest of movie goes after 35 mins of singing and good music well her dad give her a deal he give her $15 bucks out of $30 but the other half she must earn it sounds like a fair deal now that movie picking up because it will be interesting how this young lady gets money for dance try and find a job is the way I would go first so she goes to bank thinking she can earn it bye loan people little does know this may backfire later on and because of greedy new girl who set her up by not paying so now she does not have a new dress and no date as well ouch but thanks to tip from her dad she may of figure how to iron out her problem but her problem at first look like it got worst but she smart as I think and figure it out the look on father face when deal was done was priceless so after the last half of movie was school rock and roll dance with good music that was pretty much the whole movie for story music and some teen drama as well not a bad movie but could of been better some.

Well lots and lots of good music which was good could of left a lot of teen drama out but not bad for a old 1950’s movie nice list of good singers and lots of good dance too would I watch this again all I got to say is maybe don't have time to list bands and singers but you have too look up it is very good lineup.

I give the movie Rock,Rock, Rock  (1956) a rating of 6/10 for ok

Mary Pickford: Fanchon the Cricket (1915) movie review

 ary Pickford: Fanchon the Cricket (1915) movie review

Starring……….. Mary Pickford, Gertrude Norman and Russell Bassett

Directed by……….. James Kirkwood

Synopsis

A wild young girl, who lives in the woods with odd grandmother villagers imagine to be a witch, falls in love with a boy she saves from drowning.

Warning spoilers ahead

Rare info before the review that need to be added

Mary Pickford died Believing that Fanchon the Cricket, Released in 1915, was among her lost films. She was devastated because she had actively tried to preserve her films and Fanchon was the only time she appeared with both her sister Lottie and her brother Jack.

In 2012, the Mary Pickford foundation learned that a nitrate dupe of Fanchon the Cricket was preserved at La Cinematheque franchise,and conversations began that led to a unique partnership between the Pickford foundation and the Cinematheque to restore the film. An incomplete nitrate print was preserved at the British film Institute and, with their cooperation, we now had all the elements necessary for a successful restoration. L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in Italy then scanned the two nitrate elements directly at 4k resolution, and further digital restoration was performed. A new negative and 35MM prints were created from the restored digital version.

Colors were recreated by referring to the original Tinting notes on the nitrate print and the dupe negative leaders. The missing English intertitles have been reconstructed by translating from the French on the dupe negative. The digital mastering was completed at Roundabout entertainment in Los Angeles .

Fanchon the Cricket captures Mary Pickford at the height of the popularity of her “Wall” character. The film was directed by James Kickwood, photographed by Edward Wynard and based on the novel by George sand, adapted for screen by James kickwood and Frances Marion.

My Review

Ok had to add because I figure some would like to read that now as for Mary Pickford did not know much about her but now after reading she made almost 200 films that one heck of record and figure I take a look at one of her movies for the first time now this is a silent movie so no talking just music the version I am watching also as info said she star with her brother and sister in this as well so this indeed is very rare movie so let see what I think of this rare 1915 that is indeed old.

This was on Tubi so watching it there must say it something I am watching a 1915 silent movie or film it is a very funny some as well for a movie this old it look good in 4k they did a good job making it clean and nice as well amazing and story is pretty good best parts to me when she beat the crap out of boy who wanting to fight her and boy she kick his ass can of funny I did feel sorry for her look like she was all alone and not fitting in with anybody but that all changes when she men life after he fall in river look like he dive was a little off though in my view little funny there anyway she gets all dress up pretty and well it did work for a while but still hate her they did funny part is when they try to find her she hide under a bed sheet as a white ghost and all of them got scared and Scrambled it was funny moment there..

So does he marry or not well she turn him down unless he father give his blissing to Mary her the one she loves gets a fever and then father let her come to cheer him up they never did say if she married or not just show her talking to camera with a huge smile and she said thanks for coming bye if I am right as movie fate with her dancing away nice way to end this classic and beautiful movie.

This is probably the best silent movie I see with a great Actress as well Mary went on to do over 200 films back in the days that too me no doubt is amazing and she indeed queen of movies in my view what a true Legends she was in my view hope to see more of her movies and later review more of Mary Pickford movies check them out folks this indeed classic stuff back from the days.

note that film I just review is 108 years old.

I give Mary Pickford : Fanchon the cricket (1915) a rating of 8/10 for great

 Starring………. Jerry Lewis, Stella Stevens and Del Moore

Director…….. Jerry Lewis

Synopsis

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

Figure since I review the Eddie Murphy version of this one years ago will take a look at the Original one that came out in 1963 and trust me can’t not wait to review this classic movie so let’s get started.

Have to say this is one of Jerry Lewis best movie Performance in my view it is very funny how he play this character well done too and in this one he plays chemistry teacher he was very goofing but I had a lot of laughs did feel sorry for him because he was not well liked too much well nerd thing does that but there one person who is nice to him her name was Mrs. pretty played by Stella Stevens who acting was amazing in this one as well the story of movie is very good like how it was written it like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing but not in a scary well this time well maybe the transformation part was scary but it did pay off because he become this cool guy name Buddy love this again where Jerry Lewis is gold on acting he gets to play 2 great characters in this one is what I enjoy And at the end when truth comes out he give one of most powerful message ever in a movie in my view which make this movie even more great in my view the ending was very good for this great classic.

If you like old classics this one is for Jerry Lewis again is great In this he also a great singer as well the acting is good as well great comedy this it also the story of 2 people in one but in that end proves being yourself is good enough. And also there is a little love story between the two guess which was ok in my view for years I will remember this movie being a classic old movie one and this indeed a must see movie for everybody.

I give the nutty professor (1963) a rating of 8/10 for great .
