Movie Reviews of The Goonies
Movie Review: Its About Time!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's about time they released this to DVD. I've watched my VHS tape so many times it looks like the whole movie is set in a cloud. Other reviews have mentioned the octopus scene, which they MUST include as a special feature, but there were 2 other scenes that didn't make it to the final cut. There is a scene based in a local/corner/grocery store with mouth, data, mikey, chunk and I think thats it, (only seen it once). There is another version of the introduction also, which is longer, and shows more car chase and more of the locals, i.e. cheerleaders, football team, mikey, chunk, data, mouth... These two additions and the octopus were only shown on fox, when goonies made it's T.V. debut, and subsequent tv showings have not included the scenes, (?) I don't have any idea why not. I'm a huge fan of this movie, it has never failed to entertain me. I expect that they will include lots of fun special features, despite the fact that this is a warner brothers release. *W.Bro's usually don't include any special features on their older movies, from the mid 80's or earlier. But whatever the case, this is a must have, good for EVERYONE.Movie Review: Hey you Guys!
Summary: 5 Stars
Like any true child of the 80's, the Goonies holds a special place in my heart. It's a rare person of a certain age who wouldn't immediately know what you were talking about if you said the words "One Eyed Willie" to them.In these days of CGI special effects, increasing violence, and sadly, decreasing innocence in children, a film like The Goonies is a real gem. It's a classic Good-versus-Evil yarn, where even the Evil isn't really all that bad. And what's more, it showed us that a bunch of goofy kids like us could take on big business & organised crime, and win.
In the Goonies we join Mikey, Mouth, Data, Chunk and Co. on an adventure to find the lost treasure of the pirate One Eyed Willie, which, bless 'em, they want so that they can rescue their home town from being razed to the ground by greedy developers. This film is more or less an Indiana Jones for kids, with some brilliant "booby twaps" and many genuinely funny moments.
This DVD isn't avilable in Region 2 encoding until Septemer (2002), and I'm just short of marking off the days on my calendar til it's released.
Movie Review: The Goonies R Still Good Enough!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was 4 years old when I saw this,I'm 21 now and could never tire of it.It was and still is one of the best movies of my childhood.And I still want that Purple Rain shirt(lol).We follow the adventures of Mikey,Brand,Mouth,Data,Stef,Andy and who could forget Chunk.NO ONE!!! It's one of Richard Donner's best films I think his first best will be and forever will be Superman.When I heard that this awesome classic was going to DVD,I ran out of the house to buy it,even though I did have it on video,DVD is way better.I wished they had more outtakes on it but I loved the DVD.But they have other cool stuff on the DVD,The making of the Goonies,Commmentary,The Goonies R Good Enough music video and theatrical trailer.Didn't we all want to move down to Astoria,Oregon after seeing this?I know I did,just so I could find that [great] waterslide.I hope like E.T.,that they bring back The Goonies to theaters for it's 20 anniversary,if they do,I'll be one happy kid to see my favourite kids movie in the theater for the first time.Have fun and remember for now and forever.THE GOONIES R GOOD ENOUGH!!!Movie Review: Michael Jackson did not come over to my house to use my bathroom, but his sister did!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie by Spielberg. He should be proud of his great career in directing and producing. How he's the main man at it!! Best I've seen and he shows it with this which is one of his best along with Jaws, ET, Shindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Indian Jones, Jurassic Park, and much much more of his best. I don't know. His movies of today are kind of becoming a little bit of a blunder, like War of the Worlds, and The Terminal. But they were great at some scenes, but still they're not his best. Steven might be going a little downhill with his movies, because probably he's running low on ideas and most of them have already been done. But, PLEASE!!! Everyone Do not attempt to remake any of his classics. They are meant to be done once and be the best forever. Like if Jaws is done again it will be a load of garbage. I know it!!!
Anyway this movie is great!! I highly reccomend it to anyone who wants to relive the retro 80's and for anyone especially who grew up on this movie and hasn't seen it for such a long time. Watch it!! It will bring you back to the 80's. FLASHBACK!!!
Movie Review: Like Dora the Explorer?
Summary: 5 Stars
Funny thing, I gave this movie as a gift to my 2 nieces, one of 6 years old and the other of 7, I was a little worried they would not like it, because the film was made in 1985, but when I asked them if they liked it, they said:
"Yes, it is really good, like Dora the Explorer!"
Of course, I had to ask why they said so, and they answered things like:
"That kid Mouth, he speaks English and Spanish, just like Dora!"
"They have a map, like Dora!"
"Data has a backpack with a lot of things"
"They are looking for a treasure and those bad guys want to take their treasure, like Swiper the Fox."
And so on...
It looks like that since "Treasure Island", the stories of a journey, a map, a treasure and the frienship made along the adventure will always trap the minds of kids of any generation.
If you are worried about Mouth dirty language, trust me your kids will hear worse "expressions" from their class-mates at school...
