Chicken Run (2000)
The Best Family Movie for Summer 2000
The plot is complex enough to entertain adults, but simple enough for kids to follow. The animation is a welcome break from the stilted computer animation that has been recently over-used to death. Most kids haven't seen "The Great Escape" but adults will see a lot of tongue-in-cheek connections. This will definitely be a video cassette purchase when it comes out probably around Christmas
Mystery, Alaska (1999)
An entertaining diversion
I'm not a big fan of sports movies. I've never seen any of the Rocky movies, but this isn't really a sports movie. It's about civic pride and personal achievement. There's no special effects, no "beaver" shots, just plot and reasonable dialog. I'm not sure why they selected the NY Rangers as the team they'd play, (nothing wrong with them, just they weren't anything special that year either.) It even ended with a reasonable solution: If they're good enough to play a professional team, they're good enough to be recruited into professional teams. The sex scenes would make it onto television without censoring, but they keep it from getting a G rating. I call it an enjoyable movie.
The Demolitionist (1995)
Poor Copy of Robocop
No real acting, plot holes large enough to drop a planet through, and special effects about a decade out of date are the high points of this movie. Our "hero" lives through nanites that have replaced her blood. She has barrel-less machine pistols with an unlimited supply of ammunition and a fire rate that a video game would envy. The black comedy that made Robocop entertaining has been replaced with gimmicks and bad acting. This movie makes the Power Rangers look like high art. I caught about 10 minutes of it before I went to sleep a few nights ago and was curious, I'm glad the movie was a $0.50 rental so I didn't waste too much money. Avoid this movie, if you want a cop shoot-up, stick with Robocop.
