Movie Reviews of The Goonies
Movie Review: Still the best!! Goonies deserves 10 stars....
Summary: 5 Stars
The Goonies has to be hands down, the BEST movie to ever come out of the 80's. I was only a year old when it came out in the theaters, but I saw for the first time when I was very little, and to this day I still love it! This movie has some of the funniest and best lines I have ever heard..and whats even better is watching it on DVD. It looks like new now that it has been digitally enhanced, as well as the sound being enhanced. Its also in widescreen, so you get to see what was probably cut out of the background. And as for being the un-cut version, thats even better. It sux when they play it on tv, and they leave out the "Mouth en Espanol" scene (one of my favorites). The Cyndi Lauper music video in the 'Special Features' section is hilarious..it was nice to see the video in its entirety (since I never saw the whole thing, lol). Also, the outtakes feature is cool, because you get to see scenes that were originally cut out of the movie. Theres the quicky mart scene, the ever-so-talked-about octopus scene (now we know what Data means about the huge octopus at the end), a small scene with Sloth and Chunk (which they SHOULD HAVE left in, it was soooo funny!!) and theres another outtake that I am probably leaving out, but those are just a few! You can also watch the Commentary (which is kinda boring, but at least you get to see the actors all grown up). Then theres the usual foriegn language settings, and the theatrical trailer. And if you havent seen this movie before (shame on you! j/k) I hope you enjoy it!! :-)Movie Review: THE GOONIES IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
THE GOONIES IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER CREATED SINCE MOVIES HAVE BEEN CREATED!!! THIS MOVIE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOMINATED FOR EVERY POSSIBLE AWARD!!! IT SHOULD HAVE WON AT LEAST 11 OR 12 OSCARS, AT LEAST 11, THIS MOVIE HAS BEEN THE MOST BELOVED MOVIE EVER MADE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES. THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD THAT THEY SHOULD SHOW IT ON EVERY TV CHANNEL AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. IF THIS MOVIE WAS NEVER CREATED I THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO REASONS FOR ANYBODY TO LIVE ON THIS EARTH. THIS MOVIE IS A ONE OF A KIND AND THERE WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE ANOTHER MOVIE LIKE IT IN THE NEXT MILLENIUM. THIS MOVE SHOULD BE BOUGHT BY EVERYONE WHO HAS ANY KIND OF VHS OR DVD PLAYERS, IF NOT I THINK THAT EVERYONE SHOULD JUST THROW AWAY THERE TVS AND PLAYERS BECAUSE THERE IS NO MOVIE THAT EVEN COMES CLOSE TO BEING AS GOOD AS THIS MOVIE AND IF YOU DO NOT BUY IT THEN YOU DONT DESERVE TO CONTINUE ON LIVING. THEREFORE THE GOONIES IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER CREATED AND IT SHOULD BE BOUGHT RIGHT AWAY BY IT OF YOUR A$$ AND BUY WAIT ANY CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THIS Review: 'GOONIES' Dvd fantastic; but leaves a little to be desiredSummary: 5 Stars Who could complain? It's about time the Goonies who went their seperate ways almost 16 years ago get back together (like true Goonies do) and reminecse about one of the greatest kiddie flicks of all-time! The DVD is FANTASTIC! It's really great to know that somebody had the fans in mind when making the interactive 3d menus, getting BOTH Cyndi Lauper videos dusted off and on the Dvd, and including the original "Making of the Goonies" documentary (imagine Spielberg without a beard, there ya go). The crowing glory of the DVD however is the reunion of the original Goonies (YES, ALL OF THEM). Coolies that you can see them commentating and watch the movie during certain parts of the film. However, the actual commentation is scant. Key says one or two things but is quiet for the majority of the movie, Sean, although great while he sticks around, leaves halfway through the movie to which Donner and Corey remark he was "captured by One-Eyed Willy" (gee great thanks Sean you a**), Corey is a wealth of knowledge and humor, Director Richard Donner sits there like a bump on a log , Keri Green is great (and still very hot), Martha Plimpton is also a treasure trove of Goonie knowledge, and Josh Brolin is great too. But besides the this-and-that commentary, let's all rejoice that the original Goonies are actually in the same room for all to see, even if it's for only part of the movie! HOoray! This Dvd was worth it! Anamorphic widescreen, remastered! Great Great! Love it! It's good enough!
Movie Review: Kids Flicks don't get much Better than This.
Summary: 5 Stars
Mikey and Brand, Data and Mouth, Andy and Stef, and last but not least, Chunk. Who could Possibly forget the Adventures of "The Goonies?" A Film that shaped Many a Childhood, including mine, and Still holds the title of the Best Kid's Adventure film Ever.The amount of Big name Talent behind the scenes is Phenomenal. Richard Donner is in the Directors Chair; Steven Spielberg came up with the Story and Produced it while Chris Columbus wrote the Screenplay. Rarely is a film in Such Good Hands.
My Favourite Scenes are Too Numerous to List, but I Will Anyway. Firstly we have the Spectacular opening Prison Escape and Car Chase, then the "Truffle Shuffle" scene (I Think that's how you Pronounce it), Mouth showing Rosalita around the house, the gang escaping from Brand (Data: "Hey Brand, how far can you stretch that?), Mouth causing Chunk to open the door of the Restaurant, the gangs first "Sloth" encounter (Chunk: "Sounds like Kong"), the Fertelli's picking up Chunk (Chunk: "In Third grade I cheated on my History exam, In Forth grade..."). All that takes place in the films first half, for those who haven't seen it... I'm Telling you, you Don't know what your Missing Out on.
Many Childhood favourites lose their Shine as one grows Older, but my Love for "The Goonies" just gets Stronger and Stronger as the years go by. This DVD release is sure to Secure Many More fans, Win back some Older Fans and Give something New to us Lifelong fans, such as Deleted Scenes and a Directors Commentary.
Movie Review: Not to be confused with 'Ghoulies'
Summary: 5 Stars
I never felt this film got the commercial exposure at the box office it should have because so many confused it with 'Ghoulies', which had been released the year before. No Comparison!!. I've read some of the other reviews and they're all pretty good, so I'll just add some personal trivia. The house in the movie is in Astoria, Oregon. Thats the same town where they filmed Kindergarden Cops. Some of the scenes on the beach were near Haystack rock in the Cannon Beach, Oregon neighborhood. When Chunk says he saw the Jeep full of bullet holes and calls it an ORV, that was the slang (off road vehicle) before not so off road products were named SUV's. Reminiscent of The Little Rascals that Spielberg watched when he was in school, it's an appealing adventure story, a sort of 'Young, Young, Indiana Jones plot". Amazing how Steven Spielberg went from filming a color silent film of 1965 senior sneak day at Saratoga High School in California to blockbuster mega-mogul film Director, producer et al. Part of his success was in thinking big. Although Goonies did not appeal to a broad age group, he didn't cut any corners, spending money on blowing up boats and creating a giant octopus, scenes that hit the cutting room floor. (but can be viewed on the DVD) In fact, I think the pirate ship was the largest indoor set ever built>(at that time) And so Ghoulies faded into history while Goonies speaks to generation after generation, igniting a sense of wonder, speaking to the child in all of us.
