Movie Reviews of The Goonies
Movie Review: the octopus was really scary
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Goonies in the theatre at least 10 times during its initial run. I then watched it on video a few thousand more times. Now, 16 years after first seeing it, I now have the Goonies on DVD, and I must say it is a great disc.First off the deleted scenes. I have been waiting forever to see the infamous octopus scene. Well it sucked, but only through this great DVD was I able to finally see it. Most of the cut scenes were cut for a reason (they were bad) but it is fun to see them anyways, and some of them fill in some of the gaps found when watching the finished movie.
The great thing about this disc is the commentary. Instead of just a audio commentary with a director and a few actors, the makers of the disc got all the original Goonies, and director Richard Donner, to do a video commentary. So while you watch the movie, you also see all the Goonies, all grown up, talk about the film and have fun while they relive the time they spent together while they were filming it. I just wish Corey "Mouth" Feldman could have shut up for at least two seconds during it!
All in all a great DVD for a classic movie. Buy it already! Oh and you get the Cindy Lauper music video too! Where else can you see Captain Lou Albano and the gang these days?
Movie Review: The Goonies (1985)-Loved it in 1985 and so did my kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Goonies (1985) was a five star film experience for me and my two young boys back in 1985 when we first saw it in the theater. Now that over 20 years have gone by and my boys are grown, I occasionally watch it on DVD and in retrospect, I am a little surprised at some of the lines. I know this film is a cult movie and it probably deserves it, but really didn't see the need for some of the language, like "Oh Sh-t" from Chunk, and so on.
My kids really enjoyed this film and wound up being "influenced" by the flick in a few ways. My wife and I bought a pirates map on fake parchment for them which we had framed and placed in their room which we called a Goonies Map. For a period, my younger boy was interested in pirates, pirate ships and coins, and the family even wound up staying at Pirates Cove (a hotel which featured a full size pirates ship) on a trip indirectly because of this darn film.
That being said, when I screen this old movie with subtitles on I am surprised at some of the things the Goonies say in the course of the entertaining racket. Just an observation, that's all. All in all, a great film and I would still vote it five full stars.
Movie Review: Hey You GUYS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Aaarrgghh!! So, ye be wantin' a story full of action, suspence, swash bucklin', thievin' bad guys, foul-mouthed kids, and the worst pirate of em all eh? Well mateys ye've come to the right place. O.K., I'm done with the bad pirate talk now. The Goonies is another blast from the past that will keep you in stitches. They're a group of kids: Mikey, Brand, Mouth, Chunk, Data, and the two girl Goonies Andy and Stef who have to save their town from being destroyed and turned into a golf course. Luckily they stumble apon an old treasure map and the fun begins there. They have to find the treasure thus saving their town, all the while solving an age old local myth about a pirate captain named "One-Eyed" Willie and the disappearance of a man named Chester Copperpot and out running a family of criminals called the Fratellis. Aside from all the cussing and swearing, and one of the worst blue screen shots in motion picture history, This is a good side splitter for the whole family. It also has a cool theme song called "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" performed by Cyndi Lauper who was one of the most impressive and daring female singers of her time. And remember "Goonies Never Say Die!".Movie Review: Junior Jerk Alert!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Ye intruders beware, crushing death and grief, soaked with blood, of the tresspassing thief." For me this movie brings back a lot of memories growing up, and now it's on DVD. Those who own the video version should buy the DVD, you are missing out. Of course there are deleted scenes, including the convenience store and octopus scene, all of which I had never seen but heard about for years and they are great. There's also a very cool commentary with Dick Donner and all of the Goonie kids, which thumbnails the movie and shows all of them together at various point in the movie. It's strange seeing how different they look, yet still the same. There is also the Cindy Lauper music video "Good Enough" with the Goonies, Steven Spielberg, and several old WWF wrestlers (Capt. Lou Albano, Roddy Piper, Iron Shiek, Nikoli Volkoff, Fred Blassie, and Andre the Giant) as well as the theatrical trailer and original behind-the-scenes documentary, all of which I had never seen before. The picture is finally widescreen (anamorphic, woohoo!) and the 5.1 sound is very good. All in all, this DVD is a great addition to any library and a must for nay Goonie fan.Movie Review: The Goonies shall NEVER DIE!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw this movie on the Disney Channel late one night, I fell in love with it, though I only saw about 2/3rds of it. A few months after that I found a "What Goonie are you?" quiz on a site and decided right away I wanted to get the movie so I could see it all. I bought the VHS and when that didn't work in any VCR I was pretty upset. I returned it and about 3 days later I found the DVD ... so I *had* to get it. I ADORE the scene with the Truffle Shuffle and Mouth in Spanish. Heh, gotta love Corey Feldman :). The commentary is great! I loved seeing all the actors as they are now! Too bad Sean left in the middle of it. The deleted scenes are terrific, I actually saw the octopus scene on the Disney channel, I didn't know it was cut from the original movie. Hopefully they will put Goonies back in theaters one day, then I shall ...drag all my friends along when I go see it >:). I annoy them every day by quoting Mouth or by talking about my favorite scenes. I even memorised the Goonies Oath. Well, all in all, The Goonies is a GREAT, timeless movie that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime... or they can watch it everyday like I do. :)
