5.0 out of 5 stars Wow...I don't know what to subject this...Wow..., Jan 20 2003
This review is from: Return from Tomorrow (Paperback)
All religious faiths try to limit God's love. (Especially us Christians) We might as well say: 'For God so Loved the Christians that He gave-" God loves the world! This is probably the most dramatic story of God's love ever told outside the Crucifixion. (And this is also a True story of the supernatural.) I'm not talking about the fuzzy I'm sitting on a warm spot super natural. This is a story of angels, heaven, Christ, and even hell (Don't expect the American-Christian hell.) I think in this story the greatest place Christ's light is shown was in the depths of hell as he reached out even beyond the grave to save not only the souls of those in hell; but the soul of this writer before this writer was actually, literally brought back to life. Beautiful, beautiful story made me cry! And I'm a teenage male!! (It's not easy to make me cry!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Jungle Book got Snowed On., Jan 1 2003
When I watched Ice Age, I was deeply disappointed to find out it was no different from and no better than Jungle Book. The upside to that is it's no worse than Jungle Book; and Jungle Book's a good movie; so if you haven't seen Jungle Book, you might as well watch this version: it's got cool looking snow!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamite!!!, Dec 27 2002
Veggie Tales on a higher level. With this film Big Idea had decided to move up from a dialogue oriented production to a drama. (Don't worry it would still make a clown laugh his rubber nose off) But this movie is moving up even higher (Didn't think it was possible!)
For this movie Bob and Larry have become director and script writer for a big hit theater show: 'Plumber and the Princess'. Their dream is to teach London how to Love with their 'big songs', 'big actors', and 'electric light bulbs'. Naturally the who thing goes bad when Junior decides he's going to have his own Christmas pageant that same day, and Junior is going to display one of the worlds most famous relics: the 'Star of Christmas', so the Londoners will have to go to his pageant. Bob and Larry are left with a big show; and nobody to 'show'; so scince it's all for a good cause, they decide they have to steal the Star of Christmas (so they can teach London to Love.)
It's the wildest ride. (Outside of Jonah) This movie is the longest Veggie Tales. The movie has a great chase scene and fast rocket car rides-all loaded down with a pile of laughs.
If I haven't convinced you yet to buy it do it anyway.
If you still haven't bought it I got more to tell you! The extras on this film are simply dynamic. (Note: I didn't say dynamite again.) Phil Vischure and Mike Norwalky (Sorry about your names guys) Bob and Larry talk about all the funny (and the serious) aspects of making of the film. I laughed so hard I said these guys could just do commentaries for a living. The commentary is almost as good as the movie!
Get over there and buy this film I'm telling you it's awesome.
Oh if you still haven't bought it, are you one of those uncultured barbarians who's never heard of Veggie Tales? Bet you don't have a clue what all that I said up there was? Okay Veggie Tales is a movie series staring Vegetables! (The only good vegetables on earth.) It's supposed to be a children's comedy; but I think most of its fans are adults and teens (like myself!). It's a heaping plate full of jokes and fun with good values for children. (And if you're like me and pushy eccentric religious types bother you!) Fear not for this series is not! Although is full of good values it's not pushy it just has little messages for kids like why they should share and forgive people! Good stuff! So (Yep, I've already said it a hundred times!) Buy it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, Baby!!, Dec 26 2002
Conspiracy Theory is an amazing movie because it introduces to a crazy New York City cab driver, white male, conservative, right wing, probably a little bit of fundamentalist; and in about five seconds, it makes us love him. We laugh with him, cry with him, sometimes laugh at him, and in the end we'll actually believe him. It's Good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Brainless Heroine! Brainless Hero! Brainless Book!, Dec 18 2002
This review is from: Mercy (Audio Cassette)
I leafed through this book and it's beginning was great; everything went down hill after I paid for it. The characters became so old and so cliché just like all the other ones I'd read. The heroine has to be the stupidest thing since the first fiction writer ever scratched charcoal on a stone wall. I tell you if girls were easy as she was; it would be good to be a man!!! On top of that all the internal dialogue with the heroine and hero only proves that they are both the stupidest human beings ever to have a brain. They change their minds every single line, and with all the slashing around I get to feeling like I'm in a washing machine!!

2.0 out of 5 stars I've been Diced like a Potato, Dec 7 2002
This review is from: Deceived (VHS Tape)
This is my synopsis of the plot. Magic is evil because it's bad; so the bad guys with the magic have to be bad because there evil. The good guys who are nobodies have to be good because they don't have magic. Get it?

The 'villain' of the story was a funny 'magic' sound on a pair of head phones. The head phones kind of got addictive, and no body wanted to share. -See Bad.

I will give credit where credit is due though. With the acting and music scores, the movie actually didn't turn out to be as bad as I make it sound. It was watch-able if you're willing to neglect the basic tenants of the story.

PS: and I have to say: I was so thoroughly impressed with Ramona Milano's acting I'm dying to see her star in a real Hollywood movie!...

1.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars used to be fun without being Techno Barney., Dec 6 2002
Okay, I'm just asking all the crazed fans of this movie to reflect on the good old days of Star Wars with our hero Han Solo. (Go Han) Remember Han; he was a character; he was greedy enough to pick a dead man's pocket and nice enough to even help on occasion (if he thought somebody might pay him.) On top of all that Han had these great tendencies to charge the bad guys when he was cornered; it was the funniest thing ever. Then there was Luke an all around likable hero with a tendency toward blasting shut his escape hatches. And then both Han and Luke were fighting over Leia who turned out to be Luke's sister! Oh it was great. Here's a few more cherries on the top. There were great characters like R2D2 (Beep-bu-bu-beep-beep beep beep). R2 used to have a personality. Now he just kind of rolls around and maybe beeps when the camera can't see him. Oh and remember when the guys used to fight with their light sabers?! Not square dance? (these new movie things make a battle field look like a great place to settle down and take a little nap.) AND most people like a little one liner (joke); but Star Wars used to be able to put three good one liners on top of each other; and now, about all the movies seem to get out of the actors is: "Yeah, yeah, no, I thought so, can I shut my self in the butt now?" The story line used to move ahead at light speed (litterally)! Now, it trudges on like Yoda with a broken leg. Please somebody send Anakin back to the unemployment office and give me back my man: Three cheers for Han Solo!!

1.0 out of 5 stars What in the Universe happened to Star Wars?, Dec 2 2002
Star Wars is not what it used to be. In the good old Star Wars days there were intesting characters like Hon Solo: Greedy and still a hero. The dialogue was snappy, but it didn't sound like something from a seventy five scent joke book? Remember the action? The actors actually looked like they were fighting their opponents not square dancing with their lightsabers. R2D2 used to be more than a tin can on wheels; he had what I call a personality. The story was a little cliché in places; but it wasn't down right corny. For the most part it was fast paced: bang, bang, bang. Now it's slow as Yoda with a broken leg. The characters used to be charasmatic, all out guys not bums that walked on stage and said, "Yeah, yeah, no, I thought so, can I shout myself in the butt now?" It used to be funny without begging, crying, and scratching for laughs with stupid characters and ridiculous situations. Star Wars used to be fun without being Barney.

The characters in this book are both good and bad. (Nora is Awesome; everybody else is stupid.) My problem with the book is it's such a downer. If I want to learn that drugs are bad and will ruin my life, I can get that out of my science book. I'm reading fiction cause I want to have fun.

1.0 out of 5 stars When is anything ever going to happen?, Oct 30 2002
The series was based on an intriguing topic, but the author took so disgustingly long to say anything the only thing left in the series was suspense, and the only suspense was: WHEN IS ANYTHING EVER GOING TO HAPPEN??
