The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest (1996)
You Must Be Kidding
Where are the words to describe this excuse for a show? The reviewer who gave it one star, is accurate.
Firstly, the belief that the original is best, only because we are older people, is wrong. Quality and immense talent, existed in TV,in the 1960s,as was music. Motion pictures were good from the 30s to the 60s, approximately.
I ordered this Quest, due to a few reviews on IMDb.com.
It is just not good.
In the first place, the style of animation, whatever it is called, is not fun to watch, and has the same, awkward techniques that made Speed Racer, and hundreds after, such a chore to watch.
Then, to depict Dr. Quest, as insensitive, and rude,is the death knell.Part of the success in 1964, was the kindness, and honor, of Dr. Quest.
The overly, affected Jewish accent, depicted here, and showing Dr. Quest as large and overweight is not good.
Depicting Race Bannon, with a young voice, and southern accent, is condescending to viewers, and maddening.
The goofiness of the animation, argumentative attitude by guest characters, and so much more, make this an embarrassment to anyone.
As stated, you can't reinvent the wheel.
Breezy (1973)
Very Disturbing Elements, Yet Credible Views of LA Americana
Having grown up near the settings of this film, and during its year, 1973, I always like to see LA, as it was, not the way it is today.
Many of you have commented on both the silliness of the plot,and that it did not look genuine, and that is true.
Miss.Lenz plays an uncanny and absolutely flawless portrayal of young women of LA, particularly of the Canyon. So genuine is her portrayal of this, that it does add to the film's authentic side.
Mr Holden's overall acting, is great,and the footage of LA, in the early 70s,is fantastic, and relevant.
I would not exactly call Breezy a hippie girl, due to the fact that 1973, was the absolute last shred of that culture, and the concept of Angelinos as actual hippies, is debatable.
She is sweet, yet entirely deceptive, and quick to judge people.
We were horrified at the nude scenes, not knowing this in advance, and fast forwarded them, plus it did not make for anything accurate.
I did not care for the characterization of all the middle aged women.
Disturbing, in that there is no love shown; way too much age difference, and a bizarre personality of Breezy's character.
But good acting by both, and a real period piece.
