have read diamond book and i be slightly disappoint in the series and but all in all and it be quite informative . read the other comment and it be comfort to know that the culture warrior be hard at work and see attack on western civilization under every rug . be diamond a little preachy . sure . like a lot of academic and he see his theory a the most important thing ever . he use the phrase gun and germ and and steel at seemingly every opportunity during the series . we get it and after about the first 10 minute . be diamond a little simplistic ( in the series ) . sure . the part about the spaniard in south america be particularly amusing and condense some very long and complicated history down to mallpox and sword and and horse and wrap up the whole conquest of south america in about 15 minute . but the point remain valid these thing do in fact contribute ( but not totally define ) the reason for the spaniard success against the established culture . be he preach against western civilization in any way . nope . not a word . not to my ear . all he say be that luck play a large part in determine which culture advance more quickly and not that luck be the only reason . in the end and if youre look for something that validate your own sense of superiority and then this series be not for you . but if you be interested in all of the factor than influence how society succeed or fail and this series present a useful interpretation of the historical evidence . | 1pos

this series add new information and background to the book and include personal appearance by the author and by archaeologist and other anthropologist . it bring the book to life and make even more sense of the author subsequent opus and collapse . diamond himself come off a personable and care and not just a disinterested or disengaged academic . this series make it clear that his book be not just a response to a need to publish or perish and a the saying go about academe and but a deeply consider answer to a question from someone he respect and why you white people get so much cargo and and we have so little . because he respect the intelligence of the questioner and his community and diamond look for an answer that do not insult that intelligence or that community . i like to think of his answer in a very simple way and in the same spirit a south park blame canada represent blame wheat . | 1pos

( warn represent minor spoiler ) i run into this one partway through and watch from there and not know what it be or what the plot be . it certainly hold my attention while i do not know until the end that it be base on a true story . the guy she use to do the dirty deed come out look like a seriously nice guy who just get his head twist around by a devious girl while i have to question how true to life that portrayal be . anyone who would murder a husband and wife a they sleep just can not be entirely nice . still and i do have some sympathy for him and a he have be set up and take advantage of while that much be make clear . my main complaint be with the end ( here come the big spoiler . skip this paragraph if you do not want to learn it ) . a few minute before it end and there seem no way for the truth to be discover . the way it get discover be in a sting operation and but my question be represent how do the police get convince to go along with it . the movie do not show u that and and it seem a bit too convenient absent the explanation of how they be persuade to do it . i think the way they handle that be do for dramatic purpose and a the omission of the explanation lend an aura of suspense to the crucial scene which otherwise wouldn not have be there ( we would already have know what the scene be about and and what be go on with brad in it ) . otherwise and this be a pretty good film while i give it positive . it make me think . now i be interested to find out the fact of the real case . one more thing represent the movie be do in 1996. some of the review here seem to be treat it a a more recent movie . p. s. meadow sisto be lovely . i hadn not see her before . she can act a little and too ( always a plus in her line of work and lol ) . | 1pos

i have see it and i like it melissa play her part well . it be actually believable . my brother in law saw it with my sister and i and when i mention to my sister that i forget it be base on a true story ( i have see it a few year ago . ) he say just because it on lifetime you think it true and both my sister and i be like it be so anyway i be wonder if anyone know what murder it be or like who be really involve be because i want to prove it to him . i love lifetime movie especially the one that be true and or just the one that teach a good lesson . i think i saw something about it a week ago but i cant remember where any help would be appreciate . | 1pos

i have to say that this tv movie be the work that really show how talented melissa joan hart be . we be so used to and now and see her in a sitcom and i really hope that a tv station will show this tv movie again soon a it will show the sabrina fan that mjh shine in a drama . see a we have watch her on sabrina now for now 5 year and so to give the viewer a taste of her much unused talent would be a plus . melissa play her role so well in this want her parent do away with so she can be with the guy she love . one thing that all sabrina viewer will notice and melissa work with david lascher in this and well before he take the role of josh on sabrina . so it would be kind of neat to see this currently whenever it get air again . hopefully mjh get some good role in movie or even in more tv movie and sort of like kellie martin who have always shin in tv movie . lot of unused talent wait to bust out when it come to melissa joan hart and you shine always melissa . | 1pos

somewhere near the bottom of the film studio ladder you can find company like u. f. o and troma and beneath them lie seduction cinema . seduction be a direct to video production company that specialize in lesbian themed and non hardcore erotic movie . it have develop a very dedicated fan base that purchase each new title a they be release but sadly the company have become too closely associate with frequent star misty mundae . i say sadly because recent mainstream interest and her appearance on the show master of horror have cause her to set her sight a little high than the zero budget s. c effort which force the company to find a new identity . but back in their glory day they release this film on a very appreciative world . the gorgeous misty mundae be force to attend a boarding school at the request of a absent father . at the school she meet her absurdly hot room mate play by ruby larocca who immediately have design on her but the headmistress ( barbara joyce ) have other plan . in typical s. c style the movie stop every ten minute for a extended sex scene but unlike most of their effort this one have a somewhat interesting story and a couple of good performance . ms. larocca appear to be have a great time a the sexual predator who view misty a a tasty meal and darian caine make a welcome ( though brief ) appearance a satan . this be the sort of film that jess franco would crank out in the 70 ( although this one do not have the hardcore sex that franco be always willing to throw in for foreign sale ) and fan of that madman work would be wise to give this one a go . to me and a a long time zero budget cinema fan ( and troma worshiper ) and i come across the seduction cinema film through their parody film ( playmate of the ape and who want to be a erotic billionaire ) but i actually prefer their more original work . you either see past the low budget and occasionally weak act or you get hang up on these thing and just hate all of these film . for me the most obvious thing that unite these no budget movie be a real sense of fun . these low budget company be able to create their own unique style which give the viewer something very different from the bland and by the number and studio effort that load up the multiplex . if you have never see a seduction cinema film either this or sin sister ( feature both of the mundae sister ) be excellent choice to begin with . this one be a fun and fast paced film ( although the frequent exterior shot of the school do get a little old ) and the dvd be totally loaded with extra include a ton of preview of other company offering and a great behind the scene featurette and some deleted scene include a alternate opening . i do recommend you pass on the disc bonus feature and the first film by director and a it be quite weak and not really worth viewing . | 1pos

the good thing about this film be that it stand alone you do not have to have see the original . unfortunately this be also it big drawback . it would have be nice to have include a few of the original character in the new story and see how their life have develop . sinclair a in the original be excellent and provide the film best comic moment a he attempt to deal with awkward and embarrassing situation but the support cast be not as strong a in the original movie . forsyth be to be congratulate on a brave attempt to move the character on and create an original sequel but the film be ultimately flaw and lack the warmth of the original . | 1pos

a shift in outlook be neccesary to enjoy modern british film and one that somehow allow them to be see in their own right and for their own quality rather than by the criterion that american film be judge . britfilm have to try hard to be gritty and find it hard to make it and but at warmth british film can lord it over their otherwise overwhelming competitor . this film fail not in it content but only in attach itself to the predeccesor and so allow it to be all to easily see a the work of star and director somewhere near the end of their tether . it a couple of decade later and gregory teaching and this time with two girl on his mind . he teach at his school rail against human right abuse . when student he fire up find abuse in their midst he must face whether he just all talk . this be a subversive film in that there not the usual worldly character of any american movie that you expect to do whatever he do and but a naive man boy who may still put everything on the line for principle . maybe . it certainly no protest by number though and be too warm . where u. s. film may seem realistic because theyre urban and gritty and this and other british film of recent year those that do not try to match america for visceral thrill be real because british humour reveals truth . | 1pos

a a huge fan of the original and i avoid this film like the plague when the bad review start come in eight year ago and but i just finish watch this film and find it to be a really pleasant surprise . okay and if you be look for a retread of the original and youre in for a big disappointment and but if you be look for something quite different and a bit edgy and political and then this be the film for you . gregory be now thirty four and work a a teacher at his old comprehensive school and where he be pursue by a fellow teacher and have sexual dream about one of his student . when the student insist on meet up with gregory and a series of misadventure ensue that include torture and breaking and entering and all manner of unexpected twist and turn that leave me feel elate and move . if you be look for something original and then i highly recommend this film . i only wish that more people have go to see this when it be release and see it for what it really be . | 1pos

this hard hitting and often violent western in the peckinpah or leone tradition be surprisingly direct by andrew v. mclaglen and whose previous western ( particularly those that star john wayne ) be mainly in the john ford mode . it be both surprisingly traditional ( good guy or bad guy ) and incredible up to date as well . heston portray a former captain of the arizona territorial police who have be in retirement for a year and have turn over the law enforcement rein to a reform mind sheriff ( michael park ) and find his way of enforce the law be take over by auto and telegraph and telephone and and the railroad in the first year of the 20th century . but soon he be confront with a menace from his past a half breed outlaw ( coburn ) that he put away more than a decade before for a train robbery that kill four guard . in a subsequent shootout and coburn wife be kill while and so coburn be out for a most nasty sort of revenge . it involve the kidnapping and and eventually and the rape of heston daughter ( hershey ) by him and his gang . the result be a taut and violent pursuit through the mountain and desert of southern arizona . the last hard men and base on brian garfield novel gun down and be violent in many place and include the showdown between heston and coburn and and the rape scene involve hershey and two member of coburn gang ( quade and paull ) be probably every bit as questionable a similar scene in straw dog and deliverance . but that doesn not detract too terribly much from the film psychological approach to the western genre . mclaglen be able to handle the bloody story with significant panache and and heston performance a an age lawman be probably the best one he ever give in any of his 1970s film . coburn make for an especially cold blood heavy and and both park and chris mitchum ( a hershey intend husband ) do good turn as well . the music here be crib from jerry goldsmith score to 100 rifle and the 1966 remake of stagecoach and but it still work here . wisely film totally on location in southeastern arizona and and utilize the old tucson set and the last hard men need to be release by fox on vhs and or or dvd soon . it be a western that deserve nothing less . | 1pos

the last hard men find james coburn an outlaw do a long sentence break free from a chain gang . do he and his friend head for the mexican border from jail and safety . no they do not because coburn have a mission of revenge . to kill the peace officer who bring him in and in the process kill his woman . that peace officer be charlton heston who be now retired and he know what coburn be after . a he explain it to his daughter and barbara hershey and coburn be hole up in a shack and be involve in a waco like standoff . his indian woman be kill in the hail of bullet fire . it not something he proud of and she be a collateral casualty in a manhunt . l we feel sorry for coburn he let u know full well what an evil man he truly be . heston be his usual stalwart hero and but the acting honor in the last hard men go to jam coburn . he blow everyone else off the screen when he on . coburn get the bright idea of make sure heston trail him by kidnap hershey and take her to an indian reservation where the white authority can not touch him . he know that heston have to make it personal then . coburn gang include and morgan paull and thalmus rasulala and john quade and larry wilcox and and jorge rivero . heston have chris mitchum along who be his son in law to be . the last hard men be one nasty and brutal western . andrew mclaglen direct it and i be think it may have be a project originally intend for sam peckinpaugh . it sure show a lot of his influence with the liberal use of slow motion to accentuate the violence . of which there be a lot . for a little peckinpaugh lite and the last hard men be your film . | 1pos

i have see this film on sky cinema not too long ago . i must admit and it be a really good western which feature 2 of the big name . on one side and there charlton heston and play the infamous and retired lawman samuel burgade . on the other . the late james coburn play the villainous zach provo . seek revenge on burgade no matter what the cost . the good thing about this film be there be some really good character . most of the actor play it out really well . especially james coburn and who i find that he be really mean in this film . but that how it be . christopher mitchum and who i have see everywhere in other film . play hal brickman . i felt his character be leave out in the cold and but he manage to get himself back in by team up with burgade and to bring down provo posse . all in all and it be a great film . very good to watch . great score from the late jerry goldsmith . wonderful piece of western persona . positive . | 1pos

the last hard men be a typical western for the 70 . most of them seem to be inspire by sam peckinpah . also this one and but director andrew mclaglan be a john ford pupil and this can be obviously show in many scene . imo the beginning be very good . in a certain way mclaglan want to show the audience a travel from the civilization to the wilderness . in the third part there be some illogical flaw and i complain a bit about charlton heston . he have to play an old ex lawman name sam burgade but he be in a fantastic physical shape . i never get the feeling that he really have problem to climb on a horse or on a rock . for me he do not look very motivated a he usual do in most of his epic movie . same go to the beautiful barbara hershey who be play the sheriff daughter . maybe both have trouble with the director or be unhappy with their role . hershey and coburn be not show their best but they be still good . if the scriptwriter have john wayne in their mind a sam burgade . also michael park a modern sheriff be a bit underused in his role . on the other hand there be james coburn a outlaw zach provo . coburn be a really great villain in this one . he be portray the bad guy between maniac hate and cleverness . his role and his acting be the best of the movie . landscape and shootout be terrific . the shooting scene be bloody and the violence look realistic . zach provo and his gang have some gory and violent scene . what i miss be the typical western action in the middle of the movie . i would have appreciate a bank robbery or something similar . overall it an entertaining western flick . not a great movie but above the average because of a great coburn and a very good beginning and some gory and violent scene . | 1pos

good western film in the rocky arizona wild . lot of tough guy throughout while cobern character seem to rock back and forth between a rag psycho and a lay back type . several hole appear in the picture and but not enough to offset it be exciting and worth see . one really dumb scene show heston empty . 45 case of their powder and collect it in a sack for the purpose of start a fire . a. to gather that much gunpowder he would have need a pack mule to carry the ammo . b. the grass be obviously dry represent why not just drop a match on it and let er rip . | 1pos

thought at first this film would be your typical western film and however and it turn out to be very interesting and keep me spellbind right to the very end and which turn out very unusual . charlton heston and ( sam burgade ) and midway and 76 and have past experience with james coburn and ( zach provo ) and deadfall and 93 and and zach never forgive sam and would stop at nothing to make sure he catch up with him and pay him back . unfortunately and barbara hershey and ( susan burgade ) and the portrait of a lady and 96 and manage to get catch up in this situation and find herself among sex starve men who never seem to leave her alone . sam burgade have to make some very hard decision and and i be quite surprise at the conclusion . this be a very entertaining film and the acting be outstanding . | 1pos

this be by far the most incredible movie i have see in a long time . the actor give wonderful portrayal of the character in the movie . the story be accurately portray . the story start out with a young woman from the british isle and her father traveling by steamboat to nauvoo and illinois . she have become a member of the lds church and he have not . he think she be ridiculous for make the trip and be discourage . she encourage him to read about joseph smith and the prophet . this be where the story of the prophet joseph smith begin . the movie accurately portray his life and some of the history of the lds church at the same time . it be graphic at time and but be need . the emotional expression be very believable and which cause my emotion to spill out . filming be awesome . the way in which the story be present be touch . after the movie be over and we just sit there unable to move . i be stun . for people who know very little of joseph smith and the mormon prophet and i would encourage you to see this . if nothing else but to gain some understanding of his life . for those who be member of the church and i would encourage you to see it . it will increase your testimony of this most incredible man . this be a must see . | 1pos

after read the comment to this movie and see the mixed review and i decide that i would add my ten cent worth to say i think the film be excellent and not only in the visual beauty and the writing and music score and acting and and directing and but in put across the story of joseph smith and the road he travel through life of hardship and persecution for believe in god the way he felt and know to be his path . i be very pleased and indeed and to have have a small part in tell the story of this remarkable man . i recommend everyone to see this when the opportunity present itself and no matter what religious path he or she may be walk and this only instill one with more determination to live the life that we should with true value of love and forgiveness a the savior taught u to do . | 1pos

i saw it at the legacy theater in the joseph smith memorial building in salt lake city this morning . i be go to assume that one level of enjoyment during this movie will largely be base on one level of acceptance of joseph story . however and that aside it be very well make and well act and and have a nice score . if you get to salt lake city and it be a must to see it in the legacy theater . i have never be in a nice theater as far a picture quality and sound quality and ambiance in my entire life . i wonder if the church would let me watch batman begin there . be that i be lds and regard joseph a a prophet and i be touch in several place and be bring to tear quite a few time . which i presume be expect since they hand out tissue before the movie start . anyway and i be tell that this film be available in several lds visitor center around the globe and if you have 70 minute check it out because whether you believe joseph smith or not and he tell a fascinating story . | 1pos

i be stun at the negative comment that i have read and can only assume that the people make such comment be less than honest . this be the most moving and real portrayal of joseph smith that i have ever see . it be well act to the point that at time i forget that i be watch a movie . it bring joseph life of hardship and good natured optimism and endure faith in people and god and and ultimate sacrifice to life such in a way that frankly leave me speechless and silent in awe . if anyone and of any christian religion can watch this movie without be touch in some positive way i would have to say it be a reflection of the individual and not the movie . i give the movie a 10 and encourage honest soul to view it . at the very least it be an extremely heart felt portrayal of man who give everything he have for what he believe . in a world where value and belief be ridicule and this movie stand a a endure reminder of the kind of people we be suppose to be no matter what religious belief we hold . ann pruitt . | 1pos

warn represent mild spoiler . the story of joseph smith stand out a an amazing even move episode in american history and world religious history . this movie portray event in the life of joseph smith and whom mormon revere a the prophet of the restoration of the true church of jesus christ on the earth . i have so far see the movie twice in it first month of public showing . joseph smith be show first to be the young of a trio of brother ( alvin and hyrum and joseph ) who and at a very young age and need an operation . the operation and do without our modern convenience and be bloody and difficult . the scene help to show the cohesiveness of the smith family and the bond between the brother and between joseph and his parent . joseph religious confusion and subsequent praying which lead to what mormon call the first vision be interestingly portray . the face of jesus be never show and but you see the unmistakable nail mark in his hand . the rejection by religious leader and many in his small new york community be sweeten at least slightly by joseph marriage to emma . this movie do not clearly map out the event of mormon church history and but merely jump from scene to scene . this be not a critique simply a note about the style . the practice of tar and feathering be show and and it be especially dramatic and move when joseph deliver a sermon about the savior love with a scarred face from have recently be attack . the movie masterfully portray simultaneously the joy and growth of mormonism a an infant church and while at the same time the ever deepen opposition that spread into the height of local government . the film show many scene from joseph life and include a few beautiful moment portray his relationship to emma . an attempt be make to show the depth and complexity of joseph life and include his fierce love for his wife and his endless love for child and his wit and his courage in the face of filthy and dangerous opposition and his religious sentiment and and his compassion . a joseph and hyrum ride to carthage and never to return home alive and most of the character from throughout the movie and whose life have be touch by joseph and be show along the way and help to reinforce what be already see but set up the final scene to be more powerful . at the end and the martyrdom of joseph and hyrum be portray and and moviegoer be leave to ponder the event they just witness . when i first watch the movie i assume it be make by the church to introduce joseph smith to non member . i no longer think that be the case and although i hope the movie can do just that . a an insider and i find that the film be a celebration of joseph and excellently reinforce the good thing we already know about him . i be curious to see how outsider will view the film whether they will simply see it a propagandic and an epic story of an american religious man and or something else . the film be beautifully shot and family friendly and move and and hopefully and something good for everyone . that the event portray actually happen in these united state of america be interest to ponder in light of the many aspect of our culture include freedom of religious expression and respect ( generally ) for the law we modern take for grant . | 1pos

i really think they do an excellent job and there be nothing wrong with it at all and i do not know how the first commenter could have say it be terrible and it move me to tear ( i guess it move about everyone to tear ) but i try not to cry in a movie because it embarrass but this one get me . it be sooo good . i hope they release it on dvd because i will definitely buy a copy . i feel like it renew my faith and give me a hope that i can not explain and it make me want to strive to be a good person and they go through so much and we kind of take that for granted and i guess . compare to that and i feel like our own trial be nothing . well and not nothing and but they hardly match what they have to go through . i love it . who play emma . | 1pos

this movie make a statement about joseph smith and what he stand for and and what the lds church believe . with all the current medium coverage of a certain fugitive people have confuse the lds church with the flds church and criminal fugitive warren jeffs . jeffs be not associate with the lds church yet medium group internationally have ask for comment about jeffs from the lds church . jeffs be not mention in the movie at all but i think that it be ironic that this movie with all it point about joseph also point away from the few of the flds church and their leader at this time in the medium world . this be a movie about joseph smith and a great one at that . some of the most obvious difference between jeffs and joseph be portray in joseph humanity and acceptance and love . jeffs view and opinion differ greatly from joseph smith and the lds church and it be see in this movie . jeffs think of the negro a devil . joseph smith knew they be child of god and give up his wife favorite horse to a african american ( former slave ) to buy his son freedom . joseph be show do housework for his wife emma and be criticize by a member until joseph tell him that a man may lose his wife in the next life if she choose not to stay with her husband and that do chore be a way to help and cherish your wife . jeffs bring one of his polygamist wife to her knee in front of a class full of student by grab her braid and twist it painfully till she come to her knee . lastly joseph participate with law enforcement and seek aid from the government at all time . jeffs thumb his nose at government and flees at all time . i love this movie and if you do not know much about joseph smith and what the lds church believe and then this be the movie to see . and if you have confuse the lds church with the flds church then you really need to get your act together . we be not much different from anyone who believe in jesus christ and the sanctity of marriage and the family and as well a patriotic to our homeland and country . we be all different as well just like you can find different protestant and presbyterian and methodist and baptist and catholic . what important be our message and what we stand for . this movie try to portray that but there be so much of joseph life that can not be cover in a mere 2 hour movie . this be a really great show . | 1pos

this be one of the most spiritual movie i have ever see . i head up with about 150 people to st. george and we saw this movie in the visiting center of the st. george temple . not one person have dry eye in the audience . also and there be some non religious and anti mormon people in the audience who felt the spirit of the movie and be touch by the captivating music and reenactment of the story of the pioneer and the hardship they face because of their belief . i recommend this movie for anyone who wish to understand more about joseph and the hardship that the pioneer go through . after all and it be apart of american history . | 1pos

the most amazing and spiritually uplifting movie about the restoration of the gospel . far good than any other film and or movie make about the restoration thus far . if you haven not see it and hop on a plane to salt lake and see it now . you would not regret it . you truly get a sense of what the first saint have to struggle through and put complete and total faith in there prophet joseph smith . you finally get some sort of comprehension of the thing the prophet have to fight through and the persecution he and his people face . if you have any question about the church of jesus christ of latter day saint and our humble beginning just watch this movie and it will make complete and total sense afterward . | 1pos

this film be a true and historical film . it be very useful to those research the lds church and because it be 100 % true . it be an excellent film and i recommend it . it be very factual and exciting and and motivational . there be some who think it be not factual and but it be . it be about the restoration of the church of jesus christ of latter day saint and and about the prophet and joseph smith and who restore it . it have such event in his life a the disease that he have when he be a small boy and his court emma smith and emma and his wife and give birth and and so on . but most importantly it reveal the restoration of the church . | 1pos

a a convert into the church of jesus christ of latter day saint and i try to absorb as much a i can of my new religion history . i be invite to attend a showing of this film with my son and the other young men and woman as well a their family of our ward . on a beautiful spring evening and we drive to kirtland and ohio to the church historical village locate there . we be to have have reservation at the vistor center to view this movie . since my movie viewing be limit to only a few church documentary and i be intrigue . the only full length motion picture of the church i have see be legacy and my best two year and both which i think be very well write and preform . at the beginning and the missionary interpretor pass out tissue state that several people have be deeply move to the point of tear by this movie . i thought ok. but it take a lot to move me to tear . imagine my surprise when i find myself sob . it truly be a very moving and inspirational testament to the prophet joseph smith . see it and believe in it powerful message . | 1pos

despite read the initial comment from someone who curiously dislike the film ( why be the only negative comment very first on the list . ) it be very nice to note that virtually everyone else love it . obviously the church want to stress certain point and portray the prophet joseph smith in a positive manner ~ thats the whole idea . and in fact and those point be extremely effective . we already know joseph smith be human . but despite that and and all of the horrific negative attempt stir on by the adversary and it show just how he be able to complete a remarkable and god give work . i would recommend it to anyone . | 1pos

i do not know what movie some of these other people watch and but they must have see a different joseph smith represent prophet of the restoration than the one i saw . i think the movie be both well do and inspire . i think it definitely worth watch . it apparent from the outset that a lot of care go into the making of this film . the background scenery be beautiful . i think the film do a good job of portray joseph smith both a a man and a a prophet . joseph spiritual experience be portray with taste and reverence . i would definitely recommend watch this movie . | 1pos

i think the film be educational . however and it fail to treat the issue which spark so much controversy represent plural marriage . also and the film fail to reveal what the lds church espouses . big opportunity be miss to tell the world what they actually believe . i could not get a clear idea of what it be lds view be on central topic of religion . i have many lds friend and they be nice people . would have be nice to get a clear picture of how they view their prophet more controversial statement . maybe these statement be just too controversial to be treat in a film format and but it would have be great to hear the whole story of joseph smith truly interesting life . after all and it give insight into american thought on religion in the 18th century . hope they do some documentary on this fascinating subject and allow historian to comment on smith life . we may have a mormon president some day . after all and smith ran for president . | 1pos

i have see this wonderful production and and i wonder if anyone can tell me anything about the actress who play the blacksmith wife i be not sure of her character name . i go to byu with her and lose touch with her her maiden name be kim luke and i wonder if anyone have any info on her . she be not list in the credit . this production be outstanding and a tear jerker on all account and superb acting by all . i guess i do not even want to put it in the general category of act and more like portray with feel the amazing event that lead to the opening of the heaven for this the final dispensation . something like that . if anyone work with kim or have a website or something please let me know . she be fantastic in her role and by the way . thanks and melissa thorne . | 1pos

this movie be beautiful . it be full of memorable imagery and good acting and and touch subject matter . it would be very easy to write it off a be too sentimental and but that be the sentiment this type of a movie be try to achieve . i be totally involve in the story unfolding and presentation . there be a few cheesy shot and but such be to be expect in a religious propaganda film . the only complaint i can conjure be there wasn not a ton of detail . however and this movie wasn not create to explain every element of joseph smith life and ministry and triumph and controversy and failure etc . while it be design for a quick glimpse at a few highlight of one of the most amazing american and historical religious figure of all time . | 1pos

if you be view this show for the first time and you may start wonder if you be in an alternate reality . colorful and imaginative character . entertain dialogue . plot that seem to have some depth to them and even create atmosphere of suspense and drama at time . i mean and this be a syndicated child show right . this be the same venue that have bring kid such drek a pokemon and pepper ann and mighty morphin power ranger and and vr trooper ( please note that three of the title mention above be crass japanese export and courtesy of the fox network and saban entertainment ) . don not worry and you be just sample some of the quality fare that be available to kid during the late 1980 and early 1990 . some example of this period would be transformer and garfield and friend and captain power and and c. o. p. s. ( a cartoon not to be confuse with the live action show on fox ) . besides these prime example and disney also return to syndicate program for kid and come up with a lineup call the disney afternoon . aside from a dumbed down show call the gummi bear and early show like darkwing duck and duck tale and and chip n dale rescue ranger give credence to the disney animation team that be also turn out theatrical classic like the little mermaid and beauty and the beast and the rescuer down under and and the great mouse detective . but above all these wonder shin talespin . the premiere of plunder and lightning be a two hour thrill ride and and win an emmy . much to my delight and the rest of the episode be up to par on the promise of the premiere . while i enjoy the plot and dialogue and i guess for me the great attraction be the character . there rebecca cunningham and an independent female and but still fallible while kit cloudkicker and full of pre teen angst and optimism while louie and with his loyalty and support while frank wildcat and the most entertaining engineer since scotty on the original star trek while molly cunningham and cute and witty and but with some depth that most child character do not have and and of course in the middle of it all and there baloo and whom i would describe a a slobby version of james bond . this be because whenever there trouble and baloo save the day with the assistance of his sleeker than most and fast of all sea duck ( read represent james bond aston martin ) . of course every great show have to have great villain and and talespin doesn not disappoint here either . from the megalomania of businesstiger shere kahn and to the vain and always fail air pirate don karnage and to the hilarious and inept soviet satirized thembrians . the animation be good and the music appropriate and and the episode be ( for me ) the fine that child program have ever have to offer . great fun for the whole family . | 1pos

spin it . the 90 open up with a clever disney favorite and talespin and the tv cartoon series that feature character from the jungle book . join baloo and kit cloudkicker a they fly the sea duck like you have never see it before represent out of cape suzette and to louie and up mountain and through jungle and on water and in volcano and look for adventure and look for treasure and look for fun and all in one action pack cartoon adventure . this be a favorite of mine as well a my family . this ran on the disney afternoon the entire first half of the 90 until the original cartoon move to the old disney channel in 1995 and which i have see on vacation once in 1996 before get cable in march 1997. and good news represent today the dvd be here . relive the fun and excitement of dun and dun and dun and talespin . positive . | 1pos

a for many on here i can not help but praise the cast and crew who develop talespin and others they make throughout my childhood and i a all who have comment here have thoroughly enjoy the quality of not just the animation but the quality of the story line and the character . to class this work of art a a cartoon could never do talespin justice and in fact it an insult to class it a a cartoon and talespin be an animation and nothing less and it be evidently the great work of genius to be produce at disney to date and when disney pull it from the air little do they realise what they do and i be sure their soul have be torture by regret ever since . i will take a moment to explain and from the first which be ducktales to the last which i think be darkwing duck and disney have be plague with failure due to political correctness and have take a quantum leap backwards since and they prefer quantity over quality now not to mention the room full of monkey for the story and i couldn not have my child watch the mind numb cartoon they throw out now in fear that they would all turn out to be homer simpson some time in the future and 50 % of the blame would be on me for permit them to watch it and i couldn not let that happen and which be why i have all of the show from the late 80 to the mid 90 on a harddrive so one day my child couldn not be corrupt by the cartoon crap of today and to savour the last piece of childhood i have and to hold on to and i owe that all to talespin . talespin to me be without a doubt the best animation ever produce in the world on account of it depth and charm and wit and compassion and emotion and lack of truly bad quality and story line of which many have today and do you see any of that content in say ed and edd and eddie or anything else you can think of . and the rubbish produce today can be liken to some 3 year old undecipherable hyroglyph depict a picasso . the next time you watch an episode of talespin while take a look at the woodgrain on any wooden object or building such a high for hire and salivate over the quality of workmanship and effort put into this animation and even the one shot background be do a though they would use them again and again and the building look true to the art deco movement which be popular in the time period depict and even the vehicle be true to life and ok not all of the episode be fantastic in animation but the low grade scene be cover up by the superior scene so all in all it even it all out by the end of the episode and you would probably never even notice at all unless you be focus and have an attention to detail . the one thing i love about this be what i like to call the deliberate mistake or intend mistake in each episode and some have two and for example in sheepskin deep where rebecca say youre up to something baloo and baloo reply who and me . and i be as innocent a a schoolboy take a look into rebecca eye and i would not spoil the rest of the baloopers but just keep an eye out next time . everyone elses comment be bang on and 100 % correct and i have nothing else to add that others haven not say already on here and disney and wake up and smell the coffee and you have be asleep for over a decade and stop produce rubbish and bring back quality into animation and stop produce cartoon and we have see the proof of what you can do and we want it back as rapidly a possible . | 1pos

along with darkwing duck this be unfairly cancel . disney have be in decline since tarzan and we need a show like this to get disney back on track . ed gilbert and jim cummings be perfect for the voice of louis and baloo ( sound familiar . ) the theme theme tune be also catchy . out of all the villain and which be all great on their own merit and tony jay stand out a shere kahn . louis and baloo actually sound very similar to the voice over in the jungle book and which isn not a bad thing at all . a a matter of fact and it quite inspirational . the animation be spot on and and the script have plenty of wit that have be severely lack in animation for year . please bring this show back . positive . bethany cox . | 1pos

ahh and talespin . what can i say that hasn not already be say about this great show . nothing . this be without a doubt one of the most well write show i have ever encounter and live action or animation . the new stuff be way too dumbed down for my taste and and some of the mature stuff i have to shoo kid out of the room for . but not talespin . the story be engage and very plausible . some of them could even be stretch out to an hour or two for a movie . episode like stormy weather and her chance to dream be very dramatic while still be enjoyable for kid and adult alike . then there be the pure comedy episode such a the bluest of the baloo blood and stick on you and where the emphasis be on hilarity . i can laugh myself to tear in a few choice one . the drama aspect be very lack in most show nowadays ( at least and those which aren not specifically gear toward it ) and especially in cartoon . in the episode stormy weather for instance and kit cloudkicker decide that he go to join an air circus and but baloo believe that it would be too dangerous . in the big fight of the episode and baloo yell at kit to stay away from dare dan and to which kit scream no . you can not tell me what to do . yourre not my dad . and bury his face in his pillow . the next day he leave for the air circus . this kind of drama be a rarity in a cartoon and and would be most welcome in the one create nowadays . the character have a lot of depth to them . baloo be pretty much the way he be in the jungle book and plus or minus a few degree of laziness . rebecca be a cunning business woman whose idea on get money and while good in theory and be seldom good in practice . molly be a cute little girl and but you can not let that deceive you . she can be a real hellion sometimes . kit cloudkicker be a darker character than the rest . he doesn not trust adult much unless they appeal to him and and he have a tendency to break off relationship . watch his expression in plunder and lightning when he grab the grappling hook represent he look a though he prepare to put it right through a pirate . in the end and it the drama combine with the very real chemistry between the character that make this show # 1 in my book . the relationship between baloo and kit be very real and almost father and son . this be demonstrate well in all whale that end whale when baloo take kit word for it that seymour be abuse the animal in his aquarium instead of side with the other adult . baloo and becky relationship be also realistic and due to baloo motivation for work come from want to buy back the ol sea duck and not necessarily a desire to help rebecca . but something tell me that if he do get the duck back he would still do job for rebecca . the sea duck and not to mention all the other plane in the series and be pretty realistically design . the plane function do not change once throughout the series ( continuity like that be hard to come by also ) and and unlike most other super plane of other cartoon and it doesn not have one single weapon on board ( unless you count mango . ) and and relies instead on it cunning pilot great skill to get out of trouble . it hard to think of a hero vehicle that doesn not have some sort of gun turret and laser cannon and or even a handgun somewhere on board . and the fact that they use their head to get out of trouble be so hard to find in a cartoon nowadays . plus it just such a darn cool design . this be definitely the best cartoon . ever . period . definitely worth all ten star . | 1pos

in the year 1990 and the world of disney tv cartoon be certainly at it prime . show like chip n dale rescue ranger and ducktales and gummi bear be already popular and and now disney make another great cartoon and that cartoon bring the birth of the disney afternoon . that cartoon be call talespin . it about old jungle book character baloo the bear a he get a job in the plane business . in the series he meet kit cloudkicker and former air pirate and good cloud surfer and business lady rebecca cunningham and her hyperactive daughter molly . this series be very funny and have ton of great pun that you may not understand a a kid but understand later on in life . this be one cleverly write series and it great to add to your dvd collection . parent and buy this for your kid rather let them watch all of those horrible nickelodeon cartoon . if you like talespin and then check out darkwing duck and goof troop . spin it . | 1pos

thanks jymn magon and for create disney 2 best cartoon ever . this show have improve very much over the year . a a kid and i do not like it because i think it be a rip off of ducktales and which be my favorite disney thing at the time ( like grandmoffromero ) . then later on though it be good but not great . but after read the review here and i decide to give it another chance and buy the dvd set and watch the whole pilot the first day i get it and and be very pleasantly surprise . it still my favorite episode and although the series do live up to it . and by the end of disc 1 and i know this be go to be a top tenner . the character be so complex and charm . my favorite have get to be wildcat . he absolutely hilarious and sweet to boot . my next favorite be baloo and the best pilot on the show . i can see why ol jymn build the show around him . then it kit cloudkicker . he and baloo have the best relationship in the series . after that and louie . jim cummings do a perfect job of impersonate the original voice . after him and rebecca . she have make me laugh pretty hard and and i do believe she and baloo eventually marry . and finally ( for the hero ) and molly . although she my least favorite and i still like her . i think she a very cute character ( much good than webby from ducktales ) . and the villain be very original . don karnage and his air pirate always crack me up and kahn be ice cold and ruthless and and the thembrians be always at least amuse . a say before and the story range from hilarious ( time wait for no bear and romance of red chimp ) to nothing short of touch ( the old man and the seaduck and paradise lose ) and to fun and funny and excite adventure ( in search of ancient blunder and my favorite for whom the bell klangs ) . these be only a few of my favorite episode . anyway and talespin be disney best and aside from gummi bear some reason for this . gb have a decent amount of my favorite character ( cubbi ) and while t do not have enough of wildcat . but in the end talespin remain a classic . bottom line positive 6th best cartoon ever . | 1pos

i use to watch this show when i be a little girl . when i think about it and i only remember it vaguely . if you ask me and it be a good show . two thing i remember vaguely be the opening sequence and theme song . in addition to that and everyone be ideally cast . also and the writing be very strong . the performance be top grade and too . i hope some network bring it back so i can see every episode . before i wrap this up and i would like to say that i will always remember this show in my memory forever and even though i do not think i have see every episode . now and in conclusion and if some network ever bring it back and i hope that you catch it one day before it go off the air for good . | 1pos

since it have be some year since i review this classic i have decide to go back and review it more in dept and but first some insider note from a movie critic . this animated series be one of those that i grow up with and it make my childhood joyful and it make it awesome and miss some of this stuff today that we clearly do not see as much a we do back in the day and well on to the review . talespin and or luftens helte which it be call in denmark be a great animated series and it be much like chip and dale and ducktales and a lot of those old one and so it have that weird feel surround it and i can not remember this series as much a i would like to remember it . but in my opinion it be very great and it come with some kind of message and not that wild of a message and however it be one of the old one so that can be forgive . now i do not want to sound old or anything but i feel like time slip out of my hand with these cartoon and today we see something like ed edd and eddy or anything else weird like that and we have all these new or nearly new show like hannah montana or something like that and yet i feel like that we do not have the same spirit in cartoon or real show like we do in the early day . now maybe i be wrong but i feel like time have change to much and to conclude i would be thrill to see these series like talespin be release again to the tv screen instead of all the new one and give me back my childhood cartoon and give them to the kid i have some day and give them again . | 1pos

i watch speak easily one night and think it be o. k. and but miss something . maybe buster keaton strangely speak threw me off and or the labored line delivery of a lead lady . the next day i keep think about the movie and though . i couldn not get durante song out of my head and i keep try to well remember thelma todd first scene and i consider that maybe keaton do do some funny fall and physical comedy . the next night i watch a scene with thelma todd a a connive chorus girl try to impress buster and jimmy with her sex appeal . a very funny scene and the actor excellent and their face and their eye and their silly expression . so i watch another scene and their show be open on broadway . buster in his blissful innocence botch every act . again and i be laugh out loud and appreciate keaton clowning and tumble . so the next night i watch the whole movie again and and this time i see it for the first time represent it stupendous . it sensational . it sublime . three great comedian . todd dance . durante sings . keaton speak . sure it ain not poifect . but there a lot of laugh in this picture . | 1pos

i be only 11 year old but i discover full house when i be about five and watch it constantly until i be seven . then i grow old and figure full house could wait and that i have more important thing to do . plus there be also the fact that my young brother who watch it faithfully with me for those two year start to dislike it think it too girly . then i realize every afternoon at five it be on 23 and i once again become addict to it . full house have make me laugh and cry . it make me realize how nice it would be if our world be like the world of full house plus a mom . i have hear people say full house be cheesy and unbelievable . but look at the big picture represent three girl whose mom be kill by a drunk driver . the sister fight and get their feeling hurt . the three men who live with the girl can get into bicker at time . what any more real than that . if anything the show have lift me up when i be down and bring me up even high when i think i be at the point of complete happiness . i have howl like a hyena at the show and gain a massive obsessiveness over mary kate and ashley olsen . ( of course hilary duff have now take that spot but they be literally the cut baby i have ever see . they be great actress and seem to be very nice people . ) . | 1pos

i have never see a show as good a full house . full house put all of the newer show to shame and big time . anyone who have never see it and which i do not see how it be possible and should see it . it be a great show for anyone of any age . full house will make you laugh and it will make you cry and it will amaze you . true and some people feel that there be some cheesy aspect to the show and but and the positive aspect out weigh all of the cheesy aspect . full house run it first episode on september 22 and 1987 entitle our very first show and run it last episode on may 23 and 1995 entitle michelle ride again part ii . the plot of the show be very believable . danny tanner ( bob saget ) loss his wife and pam and in an accident involve a drunk driver . danny have his brother in law and jesse katsopolis ( john stamos ) and which be pam young brother and and danny also bring in his best friend joey gladstone ( dave coulier ) to help him raise his three daughter . danny daughter be name dj ( candice cameron bure ) and stephanie ( jodie sweetin ) and and michelle ( mary kate and ashley olsen ) . joey and jesse plan on move in with danny and his three girl for a few month just to help out and end up live with them for eight year while which be the number of year the show run for . the following be a short description of some of the character and the actor or actress who play him or her represent john stamos ( jesse ) represent john stamos be a great actor . he play jesse . jesse be a rock star wait to get his big break . in full house and john stamos do a great job portray his character . he look and play music like his idol and elvis presley . bob saget ( danny ) represent bob saget be also a great actor . he loose his wife in car accident involve a drunk driver . he have to raise three girl without a have the girl mother . bob saget do a great job portray a single parent who work full time and still have time to raise his three girl . dave coulier ( joey ) represent one word can describe dave coulier and funny . he be great . play the character of joey be perfect for him . he do a great job play the stand up comedian wait for his big break . candice cameron bure ( dj ) represent she be a tremendous actress . she play the old sister and dj which be short for donna jo . she be one of the best actress i have ever see . her acting ability in full house be very believable . jodie sweetin ( stephanie ) represent two simple word can describe jodie sweetin and incredibly amazing . i wish i could say every thing that i would like to say about jodie and but and i would use up the 1 and 000 word maximum just on her . she get her start in a kid show call mother goose story and when she come to full house and she blow the audience and creator mind . her great look and absolutely amazing act ability help to make the show the success that it be . accord to dave coulier and jodie be suppose to be the star of the show . it be suppose to be where she be go to get her big break . jodie and at five year old when the show first air and could hit every line perfectly . she show great enthusiasm . most young kid can not do this . a you can probably guess and jodie sweetin ( stephanie ) be my favorite character in full house . mary kate and ashley olsen ( michelle ) represent great actress . full house be where they get their start . they receive the part of michelle because they be the only baby who do not cry while in front of a camera . there be many more cast member that should be recognize . these be the original character from when the show first go on the air in 1987. the only negative thing that i can say be how full house become the michelle show towards the end . i think it be to focus on her towards the end . especially when i think jodie and candice be much good at act . full house be a great show for everyone . it can teach you a lot . one of the big thing it can teach you be that everyone can live a great life even if a tragedy and such a loose a family member and occurs . full house continue to attract new fan . with all this say and there be only a couple thing leave to say while full house will never die and and and thank you and the cast of full house and for give everyone a show that they can enjoy . | 1pos

this be how i feel about the show . i start watch the show in rerun in 2001. i enjoy the show but it have too many fault . i hate the michelle and joey character . steal story line from old tv show . they even steal from the partirdge family . then in 1 episode the partridge family be mention . actor play different role in different episode . mtv martha quinn the most notable do this and especially when she play herself in 1 episode . the michelle character could not take a joke but then they have this little kid act out revenge to her sister for a joke by them on her . story line that come and go in 1 episode . joey get the tv show with frankie and annette and never hear from it again after that . danny all of a sudden playing the guitar . 1 episode he be coach soccer and 1 episode he be coach softball or baseball . 1 game and you be out huh danny . jesse and joey keep get job really quickly with no experience . only in a tv show . i do like the d. j. and stephanie character . wish jodie sweetin could have learn from candace cameron bure and have a clean non drug adult life . | 1pos

full house and in my opinion and be an absolute abc classic . i be not sure if i have never see every episode and but i still enjoy it . one of my favorite episode be where jesse ( john stamos ) and rebecca ( lori loughlin ) get marry . if you want to know how what make it so funny and you would have to have see it for yourself . it be a two parter and so you would have to have see both part . another one of my favorite episode be where jesse and stephanie ( jodie sweetin ) and and michelle ( mary kate and ashley olsen ) get lock in a gas station on michelle birthday . you would also have to have see it for yourself if you want to know how and why that happen . i have many other one that i like and too . everyone always give a good performance and the production design be spectacular and the costume be well design and and the writing be always very strong . in conclusion and even though it can be see in syndication now and i strongly recommend you catch it just in case it go off the air for good . | 1pos

full house be and still be a great show . it a good show for people of all age and be also a good family show . there really aren not any show like it anymore . the kid be very cute and even though it a bit cheesy and it still good and especially for anyone who watch it when they be a kid . i would love to see the cast interview now . anyone that would like to see interview of the cast and kind of like a where be they now type thing for the special feature of the dvd and should go to the petition spot website and sign a petition title full house reunion on dvd a there be a petition for this in hope that the cast may want to do it . yay for full house . | 1pos

ok. who bring the cheese . i love it . during it run it become a phenomenon . the anorexic twin become popular . bob saget start make a paycheck ( instead of his really funny stand up ) . and people knew who dave coulier be . this be when life be good and simple . this be one of the great american classic . it be humorous and always bring home a good lesson . and this be where i differ from the norm represent i like the last few season . like home improvement and when child get old there be a lot more you can do with the script . this be why i dare say . it could have go much later than it do . but anyway . i give it an positive because of it wholesome and funny story line and and because of bob saget . | 1pos

this show be about three little girl . ( d. j and stephanie and and michelle ) their mother be kill by a drunk driver so their father danny invite his brother in law ( jesse ) and his old friend ( joey ) . so the whole show be about live life . the girl go through life trouble and have life lesson . they develop crush and boyfriend and and many more . the whole show be basically about to go with the flow . you do not have to hold grudge you just have to let it go . i think this show be really good and fun to watch . i grow up watch this show and still watch it today . i be glad they still air this show on television . i watch it almost every day . i rate it positive . | 1pos

full house be a great family show . however and after watch some episode over and over again i have realize that theyre incredibly bore and they seem to shelter themselves from the outside world a lot . yes and there be a lot of comedy and but there be time when it incredibly cheesy . it not like i hate it and but just do not watch them over and over again because they get old quick . probably the best season be the first . full house be about widower danny tanner ( bob saget ) and his three daughter d. j . ( candace cameron ) stephanie ( jodie sweetin ) and michelle ( mary kate and ashley ) . when danny wife die the he be in need of some help . so and his best friend joey ( dave coulier ) and the girl uncle jesse ( john stamos ) move in with them . once they live there together they find they can not live without each other . full house remind you just how important family be and that you can always go home again . | 1pos

i really do not watch this show as often when i be a child but the first episode i remember ever see be the episode where kimmy gibbler pierce stephanie ear . when i start high school back in 2000. i have problem all through out high school and i would rather not get into that . but i use to always watch save by the bell but that show really remind me of the problem i face at school and and it rarely show the kid parent . save by the bell be okay and but not a good family show . a few day after i graduate high school in 2004. i turn the tv to the family channel and day after day i get addict to full house . i could even push the info button and see the year it come out and i would remember what i be do during that time period . the episode be about to come on and it be title birthday blue and to this day it be most favorite episode and it sad and with a happy end and and you see kimmy gibbler in a way she doesn not act in other episode and she actually show her serious side . i have season 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and and 6 on dvd and i be wait for 7 and 8. i wish somehow they could have a documentary and some commentary from the cast member . i do not why some people have a hatred for this show because you do not see trash and violence on this show . and for those who hate this show and i pray for you because you might have grow up in a dysfunctional family where there be no love . but full house in my opinion be a family living in heaven where everyone be happy and good thing always happen . and the character be so awesome . danny tanner remind me of my mother and grandmother . joey be good natured and be always in a good mood . when i be a child i use to be just like jesse and he be the first actor on tv a a guy that be so obsessed with hair . somehow you can actually tell that dj be a california girl . i really like the episode with kimmy gibbler because she always make me smile and brightens my day when i watch her . and stephanie be so cool . also i have a hard time tell the olsen twin apart . i want my kid to watch it one day . but full house be my # 1 favorite show and sabrina the teenage witch be my # 2 favorite . one day and sometime before i die and i would really like to meet all the cast of full house in person . the first 3 season be kinda bore but they start get well in the 4th season . i just wish they could have make a 9th season . they stop make full house in 1995 and in the fall of 1996 sabrina the teenage witch come out ( which be a similar family show ) but full house be a very loving show and they have their good time and bad time and and yes and i understand and if your a wild trashy type person your go to hate this show but this be a show for happiness and it be also moral show . also i would like to say that the first 3 season be good kid show but around the 4th and 5th season dj and stephanie become teenager . also i notice and not only with full house but a lot of show and they never talk about the problem in the world and politics and like when full house be on the air during the gulf war in 1991 and during the time of the oklahoma city bombing in 1995 and they never mention anything about it . also steve be my favorite dj boyfriend and the one with viper and nelson werent very interesting . but season 5 and 6 i think be the best . i just wish they would have make a 9th season because and it leave a big question mark in my head and because on the last episode in the last minute and dj get a surprise and go to her prom with her ex boyfriend steve and i always wonder if they get back together . and i like how in the final season and dj be always the responisible one and stephanie be always want to do something dare and like in the episode stephanie wild ride . | 1pos

i grow up watch full house a a child . i stop watch it for year and but about two week ago i start back watch it again . now my kid watch the show and they love to watch it as well . my kid can not believe that dj and on the show and and i be the same age . i really love the show and because it be a show you can watch with your family . it have good teaching your kid can learn from . also there isn not any drug and violence on it . also when the kid and on the show and have a problem they can always open up to their family for help . that the message kid should be get from tv now a day and turn to your family for help and not to drug . kid should be watch more show like full house instead of half the mess on tv now a day . i also love the show because it make you laugh and it be down to earth . it talk about real life problem and family matter . there be always a lesson you can learn from the show . i vote the show a 10 . | 1pos

i think the comment regard the show be cheesy be a bit too exaggerated . when a person come to watch a tv show and what do he look out for . it be to enjoy that he watch a show and unless he or she be a critic or a person who analyze story . but most of u be not so and watch the show to relax and enjoy . full house be an ideal show to watch after have a heavy day in the office or school . it make you laugh and it be not just humor . yes and the tanner family be a perfect family and a perfectly hypothetical family . if any such family exist in real world and it would be a role model for u to follow . but this be a tv show and and not a real family and and there be nothing wrong in depict a hypothetical family on television . the very fact that the show could run so long show u that people enjoy watch it and whatever be the comment later on . another good point about the show be that any person of any age would not only enjoy watch it and but would take back a message however childish that message be . those jesse talk with michelle be extremely touching and if one doesn not think of it a childish . overall i would say after watch every show of full house and there be a contentment in your heart that be rarely present after many other show . | 1pos

full house come to me when i be about 9. i remember see re run of america funny home video with bob saget and and one day my mom tell me that he be also in a show call full house . one day and i be lucky enough to catch an episode while visit family . it do not seem too interest at first and but a i watch more and more and ever night at 9 represent00 and i would just be so into it . this show really make you want to be there yourself and hang out with the girl and go place with them and and maybe even join in their little family sing alongs . the thing i like most about full house be that it a great show for kid and adult of all age . there will be some part that be more for adult and then part that be mean for kid and so that the whole family will enjoy it . no matter how cheesy it can be and it still a great show and and i would definitely recommend it to anyone . positive . | 1pos

full house be a great show . i be still today grow up on it . i start watch it when i be 8 and now i be 12 and still watch it . i fell in love with all of the character and especially stephanie . she be my favorite . she have such a sense of humor . in case there be people on this sight that hardly watch the show and you should because you will get hook on it . i become hooked on it after the first show i saw and which just happen to be the first episode and in 2002. it really be a good show . i really think that this show should go down to many generation in family . and it great too because it be an appropriate show for all age . and for all parent and it teach kid lesson on how to go on with their life . nothing terrible happens and like violence or swearing . it be just a really great sit com . i give it 5 out of 5 star . what do you think . oh and the best time to watch it be when you be home sick from school or even the old office . it will make you feel a lot well . trust me i be hardly home sick but i still know that it will make you feel well . and to everybody that think the show be stupid and well that too bad for you because you would not get a far in life even if you be happy with your life . you really should watch it and you will get hook on it . i be just tell you what happen to me and everybody else that start watch this awesome show . well i need must go to have some lunch . remember you must start watch full house and soon . | 1pos

this be a excellent series . you will laugh and you will cry and these wonderful people will be a part of your family . the way this family care for one another and help each other through their crisis set a great example of the way we should live our life . there be many good thing they do and and a number of bad choice and but they never turn their back on family and they work through problem . michelle and the young daughter and be the cut thing i have see . stephanie and the middle daughter and suffers with middle child syndrome and with the help of everyone in the family it good . dj and the old daughter and be grow up whether her dad want it to happen or not . one thing they all share be they miss their mom . danny ( dad ) and joey and and uncle jesse love these kid so much and and it apparent in every episode . | 1pos

read a wide variety of scoop review over the past few day and i walk into the theater prepare for a subpar outing from woody . happily and i couldn not have be more wrong . grant and woody the performer be slow down a touch or two and but woody the writer or director be in fine form and find a credible way to integrate his 70 year old self into the story . judging from the laughter and guffaw and the audience eat up allen one liner and dialogue in a way that i haven not see in several year . in a movie landscape dominate by software approve story arc and twentysomething taste and assembly line formula fare for kiddy and it a source of both satisfaction and inspiration to see allen pursue his highly personal and still reward path . | 1pos

i go to the movie theater this afternoon expect to be underwhelmed by scoop . happily and the film exceed expectation and at least a little bit . it nothing heavy and nothing deep and not anywhere as good a any number of real allen masterpiece but it also completely enjoyable a a light and bantering comedy . there something kind of simple and sweet about it . cute be the word i hear from people in the audience a they be walk out after the show . it doesn not feel like allen set out to create a masterpiece here and it feel like he want to make a little comedy and have fun do it . compare to just about everything hollywood be produce and allen stuff have a tendency to charm . even the fluffy stuff . these day it just refresh to go to a movie make by an actual human be . | 1pos

scoop be easily woody allen funny film of the 2000 so far . allen and although finally look his age and be at the top of his game a low brow magician sidney waterman . his one liner and demeanor be hilarious . don not let the critic sway your opinion . scoop be a top notch woody lite picture . the classical music score be an excellent compliment to the action on screen . scarlett johanson look gorgeous in that bathing suit . jackman be dash . the cinematography glow . scoop be wonderful escapist fare from start to finish . the last shot of the film alone be worth the admission price . | 1pos

i be lucky enough to get a free pas to an advance screening of scoop last night . full house at the theatre and when the movie end there be spontaneous applause . i do not speak to anyone who dislike scoop although two teenager sit next to me sighed and fidget uncomfortably for most of the film . they be the exception though because everyone else include myself really enjoy themselves . scoop be a quickly pace murder mystery . a young female journalism student be unwittingly maneuver by force beyond her control into try to catch a serial killer on the loose . plenty of hijinks ensue a she partner up with a travel illusionist and fall in love with a frisky and charm young nobleman . scoop isn not a bad addition to the woody allen filmography . it isn not his best work but it be a very enjoyable and light hearted romp . i would say it fit quite comfortably into be an average woody allen film and right in the middle of the pack . if youre a woody allen fan you will probably enjoy yourself . if youre indifferent to his work then scoop might be enough to get you interested in see more . i do not think that anyone who dislike his style of film making and act be go to change their mind . woody play the same kind of neurotic character we have grow so accustomed to although it border dangerously close to force and over the top in this film . while potentially aggravate for some who might find themselves wish he would hurry up and just spit out the word and woody allen fan know what to expect . very good performance all around in my opinion although i find myself miss ian mcshane who be excellent and not on camera nearly enough . hugh jackman be great a the charm nobleman and i think woody allen have find a new regular star to work with in scarlett johansson . i think that with match point this be their second pairing and she just magic with the material that woody give her . could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship . i be glad i saw the movie and definitely recommend it . more sophisticated comedy than movie like scary movie 4 so if your brand of comedy be the latter rather than the former and scoop probably isn not for you . if and on the other hand and you like a touch of class and sophistication and fun and scoop be for you . probably not the woody allen film i would introduce to a newcomer but all others should give it a try . | 1pos

i think this be a wonderful way to spend time on a too hot summer weekend and sit in the air condition theater and watch a light hearted comedy . the plot be simplistic and but the dialogue be witty and the character be likable ( even the well bread suspect serial killer ) . while some may be disappoint when they realize this be not match point 2 represent risk addiction and i think it be proof that woody allen be still fully in control of the style many of u have grow to love . this be the most i would laugh at one of woody comedy in year ( dare i say a decade . ) . while i have never be impress with scarlet johanson and in this she manage to tone down her sexy image and jump right into a average and but spirit young woman . this may not be the crown jewel of his career and but it be witty than devil wear prada and more interesting than superman a great comedy to go see with friend . | 1pos

scoop be also the name of a late thirty evelyn waugh novel and and woody allen new movie and though set today and have a nostalgic charm and simplicity . it hasn not the depth of characterization and intense performance and suspense or shock final frisson of allen penultimate effort match point and ( argue by many and include this reviewer and to be a strong return to form ) but scoop do closely resemble allen last outing in it focus on english aristocrat and posh london flat and murder and and detection . this time woody leave behind the arriviste murder mystery genre and return to comedy and and be himself back on the screen a an amiable vaudevillian and a magician call sid waterman and stage moniker the great splendini and who counter some snob probe with and i use to be of the hebrew persuasion and but a i get old and i convert to narcissism . follow a revelation in the midst of splendini standard dematerialize act and with scarlett johansson ( a sondra pransky ) the audience volunteer and the mismatch pair get draw into a dead ace english journalist post mortem attempt to score one last top news story . on the edge of the styx joe strombel ( ian mcshane ) have just meet the shade of one lord lyman son secretary and who say she be poison and and she tell him the charm aristocratic bounder son peter lyman ( hugh jackman ) be the tarot card murderer and a london serial killer . sondra and sid immediately become a pair of amateur sleuth . with sid deadpan wit and sondra bumptious beauty they cut a quick swath through to the cream of the london aristocracy . woody isn not paw his young heroine muse a in match point and johansson again a in the past . this time moreover scarlett not an ambitious sexpot and would be movie star . she morph surprisingly into a klutzy and bespectacled but still pretty coed . sid and sondra have no flirtation and which be a great relief . they simply team up and more or less politely and to carry out strombel wish by befriend lyman and watch him for clue to his guilt . with only minimal protest sid consent to appear a sondra dad . sondra and who captivate peter by pretend to drown in his club pool and re christens herself jade spence . mr. spence and i. e. and woody and keep break cover by do card trick and but he amuse dowager with these and beat their husband at poker and spew non stop one liner and all the while maintaining and apparently with success and that he in oil and precious metal and just a jade have tell him to say . that about all there be to it and or all that can be tell without spoil the story by reveal it outcome . at first allen decision to make johansson a gauche and naively plainspoken and and badly dress college girl seem not just unkind but an all around bad decision . but johansson and who have pluck and panache a an actress and miraculously manages to carry it off and help by jackman and an actor who know how to make any actress appear desirable and if he desire her . the film actually create a sense of relationship and to make up for it limit range of character represent sid and sondra spar in a friendly way and and peter and sondra have a believable attraction even though it artificial and taint ( she be and after all and go to bed with a suspected homicidal maniac ) . what pall a bit be allen again drool over english wealth and class and thing his brooklyn background seem to have leave him and despite all his celebrity and with a irresistible hankering for . jackman be an impressive fellow and glamorous and dash . his parent be english . but could this athletic musical comedy star raise in australia ( x man wolverine ) really pass a an aristocrat . only in the movie and perhaps ( here and in kate and leopold ) . this isn not a strong a film a match point and but to say it a loser a some viewer have be quite wrong . it have no more depth than a half hour radio drama or a tv show and but woody joke be far funny and more original than you will get in any such medium affair and and sometimes they show a return to the old wit and cleverness . it doesn not matter if a movie be silly or slapdash when it divert summer entertainment . on a hot day you do not want a heavy meal . the whole thing deliciously evoke a time when movie comedy be really light escapist entertainment and without crude joke or bombastic effect while without vince vaughan or owen wilson . critic be eager to tell you this be a return to the allen decline that precede match point . don not believe them . he doesn not try too hard . why should he . he may be 70 and but verbally and he still light on his foot . and his body move pretty fast too . | 1pos

greeting again from the darkness . remember all the what happen to woody allen . joke . even mr. allen poke fun at the fan who want him to continue make his same funny film . a with any great artist and mr. allen craft evolve over the year and he lose some fan and while pick up others . last year masterpiece matchpoint show he be still every bit a relevant and poignant a he be in the day of annie hall and manhattan . what be most striking to u 40 plus year fan be that mr. new york himself seem to have a bit of a crush on the mother country . apparently he actually like england . while film matchpoint and mr. allen become enamored with scarlett johansson and her real life spirit and sense of humor . this attraction motivate him to write his best comedy in year . scarlett and while risk overexposure and must be give credit for not just pick film that cast her in some glamorous light . she be unafraid to look and act like a real person . in scoop and she flash some real on screen comedy chop and and in many scene and deliver the real punchline to mr. allen straight man . of course and any time mr. allen decide to put himself in front of the camera and he will get more than his share of one liner and social commentary in which be fine and because few do it well . very nice support work from ian mcshane and hugh jackman . in fact and mr. jackman provide a few glimpse into why many of u think him the best choice to replace brosnan a the new bond . a with most of allen film and the star be the script and not the actor . although scarlett delivers superbly here and be a nice contrast to the polish allen and jackman and what make this one crackle be the dialogue . especially the banter between allen and scarlett . if you be not a huge woody the actor fan and fear not . he do limit his screen time and he be quite effective and except in two or three brief scene that almost seem out of place . another woodman tradition be a sparkling musical background and scoop be no exception . especially the strauss composition . scoop be a nice cross between annie hall and the best of the marx brother film or the cary grant comedy . yes it be an adult comedy and but it be actually very cute . especially for a serial killer and talk ghost comedy . | 1pos

first of all and let me comment that the audience love it from the first moment . perhaps current event in the middle east lead people to take the attitude and i come for a comedy and by george i be go to enjoy it . but for whatever reason and everybody seem really into the comedy of it . the last few time woody have try to do a straight comedy ( small time crook and curse of the jade scorpion and hollywood end ) i have felt like the one liner felt strained and a bit antiquated . i remember think at one point and that would have be funny in the early sixty . so go in to this movie and i be afraid woody be become tone deaf and however and in this one his comic sensibility be in perfect tune . admittedly and there be plenty of my fellow aarp card carry folk in the screening and but there be also plenty of 20 somethings and 30 somethings as well and and they all seem to get it and give up the occasional belly laugh in addition to numerous guffaw and chuckle and the like . in many instance and the throw aways have people laugh so loud you miss the next line . thematically and woody be traipse familiar ground . a i suspect from the trailer and this film have a lot of manhattan murder mystery in it and but then again and there be more than a smidgen of oedipus wreck ( new york story ) and alice and and even a little tribute to broadway danny rise at the very beginning . even with woody in the movie and scarlett and a sondra and be and at time the woody proxy and but her character be far from the nebbish that and say and will ferrell give u in melinda and melinda or kenneth branaugh attempt in celebrity . instead of archetypal tick and quirk and sondra nerdishness come directly from the family history which she share early on . on numerous occasion the family business lead her to malapropisms that we get a an audience and while the character on the screen can only perceive them a strange non sequiturs . since we be all in on the joke and we can not help but laugh . but the laugh do not come from recognize the woody nebbish and but truly from the character . to a great extent and unlike farrell and branaugh and cusack or even mia farrow before her and scarlett be not require to use the woody voice to evoke the woody role . thus and we do not find ourselves rip out of the narrative a a woody voice suddenly emerge from someone else face . a my friend comment on the way out and sid and the character play by woody and be a supporting role and but more center stage than i be hop go in . however and this time woody seem to have write a character that truly fit his current persona . unlike his ed dobel sage character in anything else and or his blind director in hollywood end and this time the character be a comfortable fit . perhaps more importantly and this time the character work in the story . within the elevated circle they find themselves in and he be even more fish out of water than scarlett and which be use to great comedic effect throughout . sid be a decline and itinerant magician playing to small audience and but the fact that he be from another era be place front and center for our enjoyment . but what about jackman . what about ian ( swearengen ) mcshane . i like both of them to the extent that they be use in the piece . i particularly like mcshane short but effective turn . jackman be charm with the ease of old money that be so often portray in film from 50 year ago . ( class echo from purple rise of cairo . ) so what do i think . short answer and maybe his best straight comedy since 1994 bullet over broadway . less stylized than mighty aphrodite . less caustic than deconstruct harry . less forced than small time crook or hollywood end . woody have finally find a comic voice that work in the 21st century . | 1pos

great woody allen . no . good woody allen . definitely . i find myself and along with the audience in attendance and laugh hard and often at some of the best woody allen line we have hear in a while . the age allen create an appropriate role for himself a scarlett johansson father . well and sort of . some have say johansson play a young dianne keaton . i beg to differ . she play woody dialogue and which and in his comedy and always have a very similar feel . like and well and a woody allen comedy . that fine for u woody appreciator . she certainly do woody dialogue far well than the young cast of his last comedy and melinda or melinda . some may find woody humor tiresome and but for those of u who love it when it do right and we look forward to the next . | 1pos

i would even say some shade of hitchcock . this be clearly good than mmm and which be see a a guilty pleasure by some if not most woody fan . by the way and do you know that annie hall be first conceive a a murder mystery . anyhow and woody reclaim some relevance in film comedy with this one . the plot turn be nice and tight . i will say that in the first 20 minute or so and some of the actor be a little too hasty at deliver their line and but stick around . scarlett johansson prove well cast in the diane keaton type role and and at no time be there any uncomfortable moment between her and the much old woody . no one could imagine a more perfect actor for the role of peter lyman than jackman . | 1pos

allow yourself to be transport to a different and old school kind of storytelling . scoop be classic woody allen . allen late muse and scarlett johansson ( who also appear in last year match point and also by allen ) and be surprisingly able to tone down her sultry sex kitten appeal and transform into a normal look student type with the aid of nerdish glass and outfit but still fail to make the audience believe how hugh jackman lordly character can be so smitten by her and give the royal background ( do not worry and no spoiler here ) . there be no grand transformation for johansson character here and a she consistently play the same character throughout despite the script say otherwise . you even forgive her character apparent lack of logic and continue an affair with a suspected serial killer and simply because he be his royal hotness jackman and who be refresh to see sans the wolverine dud . if anything and consistency be what the 70 year old allen be all about . he continue to tell his story on celluloid in the same way he always have while a if he never be expose to modern film making and which be probably what make his quiet and simple film appeal . they never seem to aim for a specific market while a if allen make movie to his taste alone and whether the public like it or not . | 1pos

great movie and enough laugh and action for any audience . since the last person who post on this movie take it upon themselves to call woody allen incestuous and not comment on the film and here i be . the film follow an unlikely duo and johansson and allen and a they follow a tip give to them by the ghost of a recently decease english reporter . their search take them into the home of the killer and and eventually to a somewhat tragic end . but do not let the plot fool you and the film truly be hilarious and the acting be superb . it seem that a director reach a certain age they really get thing right . clint eastwood and allen and pollack all seem to make some of the most imaginative work of their respective career . also and from watch the movie in a pact theater and you can just tell that people really love woody allen and be ready for him to really make a comeback . the second he walk on screen audience light up . there just something about the man and he really shin in scoop . check it out and it worth the trip . | 1pos

come immediately on the heel of match point ( 2005 ) and a fine if somewhat self repetitive piece of serious woody and scoop give new hope to allen small but die hard band of follower ( among whom i number myself ) that the master have once again find his form . a string of disappointing effort and culminate in the dreary melinda and melinda ( 2004 ) and the embarrass anything else ( 2003 ) raise serious doubt that another first rate woody comedy and with or without his own participation a an actor and be in the card . happily and the card turn out to be a tarot deck that serve a scoop clever maguffin and proffer an optimistic reading for the future of woody allen comedy . even more encouraging and woody self cast sadly one of the weak element of his film in recent year be here an inspired bit of self parody as well a a humble recognition at last that he can no longer play romantic lead with woman young enough to be his daughter or granddaughter . in scoop and allen astutely assign himself the role of sid waterman and an age magician with cheap trick and tired stage patter who and much like woody himself and have bring his act to london and where audience if not more receptive be at least more polite . like chaplin calvero in limelight ( 1952 ) and sid waterman affords allen the opportunity to don the slightly distorted mask of an artist whose art have decline and whose audience be no longer large or appreciative . moreover and because they seem in character and allen tick and prolonged stammer be less distract here than they have be in some time . waterman character also function neatly in the plot . his fake magic body dissolve box become the ironically plausible location for visitation from joe strombel ( ian mcshane ) and a notorious journalistic muckraker and recent cardiac arrest victim . introduce on a river styx ferryboat to hades and strombel repeatedly jump ship because he just can not rest in eternity without communicate one last scoop about the identity of the notorious tarot killer . unfortunately and his initial return from the dead lead him to waterman magic show and the only conduit for his hot lead turn out to be a journalism undergraduate and sondra pransky ( scarlett johansson ) and who have be call up from the audience a a comic butt for the magician climactic trick . sondra enthusiastically seize the journalistic opportunity and drag the reluctant waterman into the investigation to play the role of her millionaire father . a demonstrate in lose in translation and johansson have a talent for comedy and and the querulous by play between her and allen be very amusing and all the more so for never threaten to become a prelude to romance . scoop serial killer plot and involve grisly murder of prostitute and an aristocratic chief suspect and peter lyman ( hugh jackman ) and be the no doubt predictable result of allen lengthy sabbatical exposure to london ubiquitous jack the ripper landmark and lore . yet other facet of scoop ( a of match point ) also derive from woody late life encounter with english culture . it class structure and manner and idiom and dress and architecture and and and yes and peculiar drive habit give woody fresh new material for wry observation of human behavior as well a sharp social satire . when and for instance and sondra be try to ingratiate herself with peter lyman at a ritzy private club and waterman observes from his point of view be scum . a good deal of humor be also generate by the contretemps of stiffly reserve british social manner encounter waterman insistent borscht belt jewish plebeianism . and and then and of course and there be waterman hilarious exit in a smart car he can not remember to drive on the left side of the road . a usual and allen humor in scoop include heavy dos of in joke and take the form of sly allusion to film and literary source as well a and increasingly and reference to his own filmography . in addition to the pervasive jack the ripper reference and for instance and the film soundtrack be dominate by an arrangement of grieg the hall of the mountain king and compulsively whistle by han beckert in m and the first masterpiece of the serial killer genre . the post funeral gathering of journalist who discuss the exploit of newly depart joe strombel clearly mimic the opening of broadway danny rise ( 1984 ) . reference to deconstruct harry ( 1997 ) include the use of death a a character ( along with his peculiar voice and costume ) and the use of mandelbaum a a character name and and the mention of adair university ( harry alma mater and where sondra be now a student ) . moreover and the systematic use of greek mythology in the underworld river cruise to hades recall the use of greek god and a chorus in mighty aphrodite ( 1995 ) . a to quotable gag and allen script rely less on one liner than they do earlier in his career and but scoop do provide at least a couple of memorable one . to a question about his religion and waterman answer represent i be bear in the hebrew persuasion and but later i convert to narcissism . and sondra snap off this put down of waterman wannabe crime detect represent if we put our head together you will hear a hollow noise . all in all and scoop be by far woody allen most satisfying comedy in a decade . | 1pos

scoop out of woody allen be definitely not my favorite director and but i enjoy match point . it be an excellent dark romantic thriller that luckily do not star woody allen . it do have the beautiful scarlett johansson in it . scoop be woody allen late film and though he appear in this one and it ok. it also feature scarlett johansson and the two of them work perfect together . johansson play sondra pransky and a young college journalist who get the scoop of a life time from the ghost of joe strombel ( ian mcshane . ) joe hear the scoop while on a boat with the grim reaper and a bunch of other soul the reaper have take . one of those soul be the secretary of peter lyman ( hugh jackman . ) she tell joe that peter may be the serial killer roam the street of england . joe and with the scoop of a life time and travel back to the living and give this info to sondra and during a magic act . sondra be at some magic show with magician sid waterman ( woody allen . ) she become a volunteer to go in a disappearing box and while she be in the box and she get the visit from joe . not know what to do and she enlist the help of sid waterman to help her crack the case . this film have a nice light hearted feel to it compare to match point and yet it all work . johansson and allen work great together . allen humor fit perfect for this story and role . hugh jackman be terrific a peter layman and the suspected serial killer . this be a fun little movie to see if your ever look for one to watch . the cast ensemble work well together and the story flow and you sometimes forget that your watch woody allen be himself . i say give it a chance because you just might like it . | 1pos

i go into this movie know nothing about it and and end up really enjoy it . it lack authenticity and believability some of the thing that the character say and do be completely bizarre and and a lot of the script seem like it be ad libbed ( perhaps this be typical of woody allen . excuse my ignorance ) but the whole audience in the theater be laugh so hard . it wasn not even at the joke in the movie per se and but at the whole movie itself . the acting remind me of seinfeld acting and where he try not to laugh at his own joke they be corny and but if you do not take the movie too seriously and you can really appreciate the humour of the actor and not the character . if youre look for a random movie and and you like woody allen and i would definitely recommend it . | 1pos

woody allen second movie set in london . tha tarot card murderer be kill prostitute in london . aspire journalist sondra pransky ( scarlett johansson ) get a tip that he may be lord peter lyman ( hugh jackman ) . she start to romance him but quickly fall in love . she help by stage magician sid waterman ( woody allen ) who doesn not like what he see . i like this good than the over rated match point from last year . it be short and move much more quickly . the plot be old but i be entertain and it keep me guess till the very end . it not really a comedy but a mystery with a few very good comedic line ( all from allen of course ) . it not one of allen best but it far well than his bad . the acting be and for the most part and very good . allen be bad but he play this character a million time before and it get tiresome . but johansson and jackman be just great they look fantastic and give two very appeal believable performance . also allen ( surprisingly ) work on their sex appeal there be a sequence where theyre both in the their bathing suit to show off their nice body . the only real debit be that allen still seem unsure on how to shoot london . he not as off a he be on match point though maybe he will just get well a he go along . worth see . i give it an 8 . | 1pos

match point and now scoop have both convince me that not only be woody allen do a neat job make movie in england ( and that scarlett johansson be the right cast member ) and but corroborate what i have know for year represent he shouldn not focus on neurotic rich new yorkers . in this case and johansson play journalism student sondra pransky and whom magician sid waterman ( allen ) put in his disappearing box and where she meet the ghost of murdered reporter joe strombel ( ian mcshane ) and who tell her that the serial killing that have plague london be commit by millionaire peter lyman ( hugh jackman ) . so and she get to know him and and . well and i do not know how much i can tell you without give it away . but i can say that this be probably allen funny movie in year . there his ubiquitous unique style of humor ( especially the line about his religion ) . so and youre sure to like this movie . if nothing else and it will make you fall in love with london . but mostly and it just so damn hilarious . even if you do not like woody allen and you get ta love this one . | 1pos

simply well write and direct and act . woody best of the 2000 if not his best since the 80 . hugh jackman be the perfect pick for his roll . scarlett johansson banter with woody prove how well round an actress she have become . it refresh to not be in a romance on screen with the lead lady . he play the perfect bumbling magician . there have be a few review malign this movie . don not let them stop you from see the wonderfully do film . people in the crowd i saw this with be laugh so loud at some line i miss the next line . if you like woody allen film of the 70 and you will regret miss this one . i suggest you go to watch this film with an open mind and if you do and you might walk out smile . | 1pos

half scarlett johansson and woody allen and hugh jackman and ian mcshane and romola garia . direct by woody allen . just after his work with johansson on match point the two return for scoop a corky and zany and fun comic ride . when a student reporter ( johansson ) find out a new scoop from a deceased reporter ( mcshane ) when she enter the materializer of a lame magician ( allen ) . the scoop be of the new tarot card killer in london who might be preppy peter lyman ( jackman ) while while sondra and sid be play detective sondra fall in love for the handsome would be killer . allen have finally hit a mark and not as good a match point but definitely more fun . i laugh a lot more than i expect and one of the year must see . | 1pos

i be go to give it an 8 and but since you people make 6 . 5 out of a lot well vote and i have to up my contribution . the river styx be pure genius . sure and woody be his perennial stuff and but at least his role be appropriate . the first half hour be really hilarious and and then the rest of the movie be easy to watch . the dialog be clever enough and and woody card trick at the party and along with the reaction from the upper crust and be fun to watch . this be much good than the newspaper critic make it sound out to be . and a plus and a little sorcerer apprentice to go along with it . and of course and do you notice that johansen be get a bit frumpy . charles dance be always entertaining and a be hugh jackman . | 1pos

i be a huge woody allen fan and so when i saw that this be play at the cinema i couldn not help myself . i want to see how allen would follow up his magnificent film match point see a this be another one of his film shoot in g. b . ( which be unique among allen work ) along with what seem to be his new muse scarlett johanson . scoop be much light than mp and the humor be scoop most enjoyable aspect . the plot revolve around johanson character ( a journalism student ) who get a tip on a hot story from beyond the grave . she fall in love with a suspected serial killer ( jackman ) and she must decide whether the truth be worth find . oh and all of this be do with the help of a bumbling magician turn detective play by allen . i must say that i thoroughly enjoy johanson performance but i be a bit bias and i could watch a three hour film with johanson in ever frame and remain enchanted . she play a ditsy and yappy and bumble sweetheart that be kind of a variation in a sense of allen stereotypical neurosis stricken character . she add appropriate body language for comic effect . needless to say almost anyone who see this will find johanson character sickeningly cute and that be a plus . allen be allen . he be still play the same character much like chaplin and his little tramp character . something that occur in this film make me wonder if i will see the neurotic little hypochondriac again however . he be not in the cast of his next picture and have be spend more time exclusively behind the camera a of late . jackman be also enjoyable a the suave and millionaire murder suspect . i can not say that jackman do anything in particular to make the role his but he suit his character none the less . in term of the plot i can not help but feel that this be fresh . in fact it stink of curse of the jade scorpion . johanson and allen be more detective like than anything . however i must applaud allen on his end because it be a bit more clever than your typical unoutstanding hollywood version of this film . instead of everything be black and white and thing be paint in shade of gray . be entirely innocent have nothing to do with it nor do unequivocal guilt . though the plot seem old woody still have a knack for one liner . i do find his allusion to his last film interest . come for the humor and laugh and be merry . needless to say if you enjoy allen work watch it . if not watch something else . | 1pos

in the funeral of the famous british journalist joe strombel ( ian mcshane ) and his colleague and friend recall how obstinate he be while seek for a scoop . meanwhile the deceased joe disclose the identity of the tarot card serial killer of london . he cheat the reaper and appear to the american student of journalism sondra pransky ( scarlett johansson ) and who be on the stage in the middle of a magic show of the magician sidney waterman ( woody allen ) in london and and tell her that the murderer be the aristocrat peter lyman ( hugh jackman ) . sondra drag sid in her investigation and seek for evidence that peter be the killer . however and she fall in love with him and question if joe strombel be right in his scoop . scoop be another great woody allen comedy outside manhattan and actually again in london . his ironic and witty line be simply fantastic and and i laugh a lot inclusive with his fate of hero in a country where people drive in the wrong side . sid waterman be extremely funny and woody allen be in an excellent shape a comedian . however and his present muse scarlett johansson and of whom i be a big fan and have over acting and be annoy in many moment and change inclusive her accent to a histrionic pronunciation . her character be absolutely silly and promiscuous and and i be quite disappointed with her performance ( probably for the first time in her filmography ) . but this supernatural comedy be still a hilarious and worthwhile entertainment . my vote be eight . title ( brazil ) represent scoop o grande furo ( scoop the big scoop ) . | 1pos

theyre not jaw journalist cary grant and rosalind russell from his girl friday or witty detective william powell and sassy lady myrna loy from thin man and but woody allen and scarlett johansson be surprisingly charm a amateur sleuth in scoop . their screwball repartee be more postmodern than post depression and allen writing fill with ironic self deprecation and plain old new york angst . shade of the old wit occur rarely and such a when he and a sid and the great splendini magician and respond about his background represent i be bear into the hebrew persuasion and but when i get old i convert to narcissism . johansson and fresh from allen match point a a bad girl and here get to be a relatively good and sometimes ditsy journalism student catch in a murder mystery suitable for london represent a serial killer . the plot be a reworking of his recent london base thriller match point and right down to the upper class sin and the american tragedy or place in the sun boat accident . a a matter of fact and allen be rework manhattan murder mystery and purple rise of cairo to name just a couple of other example . i care not if he rework while i would like the new material to be at least the equal of the original and and and ala and it be just a reflection of his young greatness . allen a director and actor can not hide his love for the actress and a he couldn not for diane keaton and and therefore take a middling comedy into an appropriate place down the allen canon and not great but amusing and at time brilliantly satirical represent about the suspected upper class murderer and sid ( allen ) quip and i would be very surprised if he kill one person . this be vintage allen humor . while there be barely any bright literary allusion a in most of his film and he lard scoop with music from grieg and tchaikovsky and and strauss to let u know the woodman have not lose his touch of class . | 1pos

a a baseball die hard and this movie go contrary to what i expect in a sport movie represent authentic look sport action and believable character and and an original story line . while angel in the outfield fail miserably in the first category and it succeed beautifully in the latter two . angel weave the story of roger and j. p. and two anaheim foster kid in love with baseball but search for a family and with that of the woebegone angel franchise and struggle to draw fan and win game . push by his deadbeat father promise that they would be a family only when the angel win the pennant and roger asks for some heavenly help and and get it in the form of diamond dwell spirit bent on reverse the franchise downward spiral . and and when short fuse manager george knox ( portray by danny glover ) begin believe in what roger see and the team suddenly have hope for turn their season around and roger and j. p. find something to believe in . glover in particular give a nice performance and and tony danza and play a wash up pitcher and also do well and despite clearly have zero idea of how to pitch out of the windup . | 1pos

i have always like this great baseball movie . it have a good cast include two tremendous actor and two of my favorite danny glover and christopher lloyd . also in this movie be ben johnson and brenda fricker and big tony longo and tony danza and and matthew mcconaughey . also jay o. sander and dermot mulroney . the film have great special effect and act from all of the film actor . the baseball scene be all realistic . the music by composer randy edelman be very good and it fit the film very well . some of the actor who remind me the actual baseball personality . stoney jackson ray mitchell character remind me royce clayton and mcconaughey character remind me of steve finley and and jay o. sander commentator in my opinion resemble how al hrabosky look today . this be a fantastic movie for non and baseball fan and i strongly recommend this film . | 1pos

i enjoy movie like this for their spirit and no pun intend . it a decent and clean movie about a baseball team that fall behind and and a young fan wish for them to win and since his deadbeat dad say that be the only way he would come back for him . the spirit shine through in two way represent a funny cast with danny glover and a young joseph gordon levitt and and the heavenly herald al and take the dynamic form of christopher lloyd . it an energetic movie . it get you smile and and really involve you in the sport . therein lie my gripe . the one thing that kinda bug me be these sport movie that kind of turn you into an unexpecting fan for the team . there absolutely nothing wrong with that . i just find it odd that i should come away from the movie think the angel be a strong and cool team and when really my base loyalty and such a it be and lie with the toronto blue jay . it interesting and really . if it just a movie about an underdog kid team and then it okay . | 1pos

that be definitely the case with angel in the outfield . it be on tv last night and i believe i hadn not see the film since my sophomore year in high school and i be now in my 4th year of college . although the film have many flaw and it be just so touch that you can not help but sit down and watch it and and enjoy yourself . it be also hilarious . danny glover ranting be just so over the top that you can not help but laugh out loud at him at most time . it add to the film and i be sure it exactly what the director want . you actually feel for the character in the film even though the development isn not the best . a must see . i highly recommend . positive . | 1pos

i really enjoy this movie a a young kid . at that age i think that the silly baseball antic be funny and that the movie be cool because of it about sport . now and several year later and i can look back and see what a well design movie this be . this movie open my eye a a small child to the struggle other child deal with and real world issue . that kind of exposure be largely lack in kid movie these day which i do not think be to our society benefit . sure the baseball antic seem really dumb now and but they draw kid in . no seven year old be go to ask to see a movie about foster child and but they will ask to see a movie about baseball . disney realize this fact and take advantage of it to teach these child an important lesson about the world . a a young adult the performance of al and the other angel seem far less impressive and however i will give credit to the actor play both child and danny glover who all do a fantastic job . | 1pos
