My Review

Another week and more reviews of Judy garland and Mickey Rooney movies this review Is of girl crazy from 1943 god bless both of them and may they rest in peace.

This is my first time watching this movie as well which is why I am excited to watch 2 of beat for a movie so let get started shell we. In this one Mickey character seem like a playboy type because he surrounded by women in opening moments of movie with great music as well they seem to be all over him in a funny way then he gets sent to college but it is 8 miles better get walking while walking he see a car broken down and someone is working on car her name is ginger aka Judy Garland when she finds out his name she started laughing funny and he gets mail car fixed she leaves him so back to walking he does make it college but seems like a joke riding a horse and wagon wheel falling off seem like bad luck there for Danny that for sure for some reason ginger can’t stop laughing at him there was funny moment between where he stay to get her to like him but in song she tells him off again was funny but words on that song did fit in well there that for sure good comedy there.

Then we go to a movie scene where it her birthday and guests are all guys look like ginger trying to find the right guy on her birthday as well Henry was lucky guy but he asked her to marry her which was big mistake right another corner was Danny and her ginger talk and started to get along slowy build there well bad news come later is college is closing Judy garland acting for crying is very good every time I see her tear up almost like real tears there great acting and when she laugh she is funny too that there proves how great acting there too me well to save the college they are going to put on a musical show this sort of remind me of babes in arms some.

So you got to wonder if this works out and ginger and Danny wind up with each other well musical show does go they crown a new queen

It did not go well with ginger and Danny but final 10 mins again was some of Judy and Mickey best in a musical show that for sure wow what a way to end this classic movie with them looking at camera even I clap 👏 at the end.

For last 2 weeks I see some of greats from Judy and Mickey and have to say again this was indeed another one of there best movies that I see watch this If you have not it will indeed entertain you in a musical way a very great movie girl crazy was and see you next week for link only review from both Judy garland Mickey for now have a good rest of your weekend.

I give girl crazy a rating of 8/10

My review

If there another 2 Legends of Hollywood it is Judy garland and Mickey Rooney so this first time I see them both in this one I see them in Andy Hardy movies and them 2 were great in them movies so looking forward to review Babes in arms so let see what I think indeed of this one below.

In this one story starts off in a good way a baby is born while father on stage he finds out later he is a father then we see scenes of that kid growing up then as teen he trying to get him and his girlfriend on big stage which is father could since he top guy he does end up sale his song for $100 yeah not too much he try’s again with more songs but his father turn them down he winds up trying to prove he can do it by put on his own show with them good idea but there will be tough challenges ahead for him later on he runs out money or so and a rich girl may put his love life with patsy in danger she leaves him after see him kiss the other girl she does get advice from her mom and she goes back so rich girl father finds out about her part In show he pulls her away from it so he gives the part to his girlfriend which should of done before maybe that why she left him too I bet. Look like everything was going well with the show but a storm roll though and ended something how writers did that to again make it look bad for Mickey because later

On he gets in a fight with father who was fired and wants to start over and wants Mickey to stop what he doing Mickey and him angry so I was oh writers were throw in bad before it ended well and well last 10 mins did prove it some the musical show went on and everything turn out good Mickey and Judy and everybody made this movie end in a great way even I clap at the end which I don’t do much what a great musical babes in arms is.

A very great musical movie no doubt for years this one will be a classic great acting singing as well even great songs the good morning song fits in well I heard it play on radio a few times in morning they made that song fun also a rare appearance for Margaret Hamilton which was cool she didn’t have a huge part but was great see her in this one. After see this I was indeed happy to see it and review it as this only start next few weeks I be reviewing a few of great with Judy and Mickey so next week stay turned will be reviewing girl crazy so after this looking forward to watching it so that will be next week in closing if you have not see this one and are fans of both Judy and Mickey do watch it this one will not let down that for sure.

That it for this week review have a good rest of your weekend.

I give babes in arms (1939) a rating of 7/10

A Sorority Girl (1957) Movie Review

 Starring………….. Susan Cabot, Dick Miller and Barboura Morris

Director……….. Roger Corman

Synopsis

A vengeful college girl gets back against the classmates who rejected her,using every dirty trick in the book to make their lives a waking nightmare.

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

My review of Sorority girl review before I give you 3 movies reviews feature 2 stars that I been wanted to review for most of review but before that let’s see what I think of this short flim which is only 1 hour and 1 min long.

The start sort feels like a horror movie the plot does as well with a girl getting revenge no this not a horror but could of been but it more of drama movie .

A woman starts movie talking about others is she one that going to get revenge on them or tell them truth if they ask she does seem a little mean later on we see dick Miller a very young one by the way great actor also he in college with rest of him doesn’t do much yet maybe later.

College girl goes see her mom who also mean to her there and that where it tigger mean in her she said someday after that she does start being mean slap girls making them do her Chores then her friend tells her a huge secret bad move because she might end up using it for dirty trick later.

Don’t see much of that but after her friend does not want to do sit ups anymore she give a Spanking now she getting mean then ever hopefully this backfired on her later at end being she is one mean woman.

Last 15 mins hopefully all of this being mean comes back to backfired on her so does it yes everybody goes after her after she almost cause someone to kill herself they pretty much gang up and after that it ended not much but least they step to her at end but do I think she was good or not.

For a short film was not too bad but not best either with her being mean could of been better writing though little bit boring acting was ok though Roger did not too bad of directed it either they could of least strip her of being in college or suspended her would of been better ended then that so overate will say ok movie.

I give A Sorority Girl (1957) a rating of 5/10

Hercules (1958) Movie Review

 Starring………… Steve Reeves, Sylva Koscina and Fabrizio Mioni

Director………. Pietro Francisol

Synopsis

The muscular Hercules performs his Labors, sails with the Argonauts, and Romances for the fair lole.

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

Next movie review is Hercules movie from 1958 So let see if it good or not good movie.

The intro is around 2 mins long wow could of been shorter but ok by the way Steve Reeves is Hercules in this one so first few 15 mins he seems very good at playing character so far he did Rescue a woman who has interesting story and she very beautiful she and Hercules will be a romantic later on.

The movie is pretty good lots of high points Hercules Is test some of romance and battles again some animals like bull and lion and later on they meet a bunch of woman’s Amazon woman Vibe because they have a queen but not sure they are Amazon’s because they look like they are getting along with men but one of guy hear them talking and one woman say they must die before sunrise.

There wasn’t much threat to Hercules unit monster but it was weak though was a little creepy though so what does last 10 mins of movie give us one heck of fight which I been waiting to see and this was some of Steve reeves best as Hercules he was so tough he brought down a building down and after that movie ends in a happy way good ending there.

Have to say great movie with Hercules story lot different Hercules story then I see before but good didn’t much action unit the last 15 mins but that was ok I enjoyed it that prove there again how good Steve reeves was as Hercules character he show how amazing he was this was indeed worth checking out if you get a chance I would maybe watch this one again because it was very good.

Well that it for this week movie review see you next week for next movie review.

I give Hercules (1958) a rating of 6/10

Alice in Wonderland (1949) movie Review

 Starring………… Carol Marsh, Ernest Milton and Felix Aylmer

Directed by………. Dallas Bower

Synopsis

Live- Action characters and puppets come together in this theatrical version of Lewis Carroll’s 1865 classic.

Warning spoilers ahead

My review

This is 1949 version of Alice in wonderland that open the door for many more versions this one is live action with puppets so it is indeed old take a look at have to say picture look good for a 1949 film Costumes look ok 1 guy look like he dress as Abraham Lincoln look like maybe it just me they both look the same though at start of the movie now I just wonder how this version will do because I see many that have try and some failed.

After watching a few mins we meet Alice who is played by Carol Marsh who I never heard of least but age she seems to look a little old for part but maybe get pass that and her acting will be good for to give her a gold star down the line we see.

So was this a dream maybe father started to tell story and look like she fall asleep and then it show her chasing the rabbit down the hole and on too wonderland rabbit does look a little creepy puppet though but doesn’t bug me kids it may or not though some look good though for puppets but for kids may want to be Caution some though when you see.

Seems like to me when Alice goes to wonderland everything becomes Animated Will say that something for a 1949 movie back then also this turns musical later on funny at start there was not much singing at start some of singing not bad can of funny though some of it not best though.

First I worder is this French movie because the voice over of puppets sound French and it was indeed that for sure it was French voiceovers.

As you go though the movie you meet more puppets or clay motion they look like it they look more ugly and scary again might scare the kids a little they could least done a better job on that though.

Well after making it though this version of this classic tale so what did I think on how ended was it bad or good or not good well it ended just like others but was it a dream a not was question.

Well can of creepy a little good acting from Carol as Alice not best one to get gold acting star maybe a silver star at least for acting as for story it was ok puppets again look creepy so will say this version was not worst I see but will say weird one for 1949 version I will say but after this 2 years Disney release there better version so would I watch this again probably not.

I give Alice in wonderland (1949) a rating of 6/10 for ok

Santa’s Christmas Circus (1966) movie review

 Starring………………. John Bilyeu , Frank Wiziarde and Cindy Dallen

Directed by…. Frank Wiziarde

Synopsis

This Wonderful Hoilday special finds Whizzo the Clown hosting a group of kids on a magic carpet ride, with hopes of meeting Santa Claus.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

This is another old film or movie it is only 59 mins long this is a hopefully nice movie and review for holidays now here in 2022 a movie about a clown name Whizzo the clown never heard of him before only clown that I know growing up was bozo the clown now this got low ratings but I want to check it out myself below will be my thoughts on this movie.

Well have to say first 15 mins was kind of goofing this feels like I am watching a episode of tv show of Whizzo the clown and not a movie the kids show up at 10 mins of film almost 21 mins in and does not feel like a Christmas movie but later 1 kid is sad and later he brings out time machine this will take them all to Santa Clause look like it just a video on tv with Christmas music where time machine was indeed one screen tv or something but they are showing Christmas footage like toys and everything Christmas is cool dolls are showing a nice Christmas boat very pretty back in 60’s later on they get rid of time machine or big screen now magic Carpet comes into play so now they are on the way to meet Santa at North Pole hopefully and they do I can of laugh when he got stuck in clouds help help me can of silly but the reason why they go there is one of kid is having a hard time believe in Christmas they didn’t stay too long oh well and film ends with kids changing back into normal clothes and ending with clown going to 💤

Well must say it was ok 1960’s Christmas film or show it felt like a show since it Christmas time not going to crap on it was little bit fun not as bad as everybody says it would I watch it again probably not only problem is time could of been more if it was over 1 hour 59 mins not much there and they didn’t get to Santa unit 40-45 mins I know there it would be a short trip and it was that the only problem I have with this one but it was not a bad Christmas film fun for kids for this season and for a film that was release in 1966 so in the end was it worth the time maybe for a very old old movie or episode. 

I give Santa’s Christmas Circus (1966) a rating of 6/10 for ok.
