It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie Film Review

 


Muppets fans when people talk about the movies that the The Muppets have starred in they always talk about the theatrically released movies. However very little to no people actually talk the direct to TV Muppet movies well now i'm going to put an end to that by talking about a Christmas movie that the The Muppets starred in an so join e as I talk about the Christmas Muppets movie that nobody actually talks about with the film in question being called simply just "It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" enjoy.

The plot of the movie is The Muppets have until 6pm to save The Muppet Theatre from being foreclosed upon y an evil banker. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this actual film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this actual film was at best OK since the plot of this film really does nothing all that new or even all that actually exciting or even interesting with it's set up or plot line in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Steve Whitmire as Kermit The Frog , Rizzo The Rat and Beaker and Dave Goelz as The Great Gonzo , Dr. Bunsen Honeydew , Waldorf and Zoot , Bill Barretta as Pepé The King Prawn , Bobo The Bear , Johnny Fiama , Swedish Chef , Lew Zealand , Howard Tubman and Rowlf The Dog , Eric Jacobson as Miss Piggy , Fozzie Bear , Animal and Yoda , Brian Henson as Scooter , Janice and Sal Minella , Kevin Clash as Sam Eagle , John Henson as Sweetums , John Kennedy as Dr. Teeth , Jerry Nelson as Robin The Frog , Statler , Floyd Pepper and The Announcer , Allan Trautman as Eugene The Tuba Player , David Arquette as Daniel , Joan Cusack as Rachel Bitterman , Matthew Lillard as Luc Fromage , Whoopi Goldberg as The Boss , William H. Macy as Glenn and Mel Brooks as The Voice Of Joe Snow.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was really freaking good. Which given whom is appearing / starring in this very film isn't to be that much of a surprise at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



Now then for some strange reason about half way though it's running time this film becomes basically the The Muppets version of the Christmas classic film It's A Wonderful Life. Which I wouldn't mind at all except that out comes out of nowhere and it requires Kermit The Frog to act out of character in order to make it work which should never be the case for a plot line such as this one in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then this film rather shockingly actually features a reference to the very first Muppet Movie because in this film in an alternate world in which Kermit The Frog had never even been born we see Doc Hopper's French-Fried Frog Legs which first seen in the very first Muppet Movie. This is in all honesty such a pretty freaking deep cut reference and it's one that i'm surprised that not alot of people have really freaking picked up since the The Muppet Movie is such a freaking good movie in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then I will admit that out of all the Christmas movies and specials that the The Muppets have done. This one is perhaps the worst one since not only does it have characters acting out of character but it also doesn't really give us a good and heartwarming Christmas message either since this film is basically ripping of It's A Wonderful Life and so we there for no how exactly everything in this film is going to play out and that means that there's very little to no actual surprises when it comes to this films actual plot and story in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.    


So now then this film actually quite a few movie parodies since the film spoofs the 2002 film How The Grinch Stole Christmas , Kill Bill and oddly enough Moulin Rouge and while some of these film parodies are funny there are sadly alot of them that just aren't that funny at all. Which is a shame because when this film does get a parody right it can be pretty freaking funny but the unfunny movie parodies very much outweigh the actually freaking funny movie parodies in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this film has / had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty eight minuets and fourteen seconds. Which is oddly enough a tad freaking bit on the long side for this film and part of that might be because they actually wrap up the plot that described to you at the very start of this very review by the forty five minuet mark which is then very quickly followed up by a rather freaking bad It's A Wonderful Life ripoff / spoof / parody and so there really was no freaking need for this movie to be as freaking long freaking as it freaking was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then this film is a comedy film after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was a very mixed bag of affairs for me personally. Since the joke / parody of How The Grinch Stole Christmas was indeed a really freaking funny parody there are alos quite alot of jokes that are in this very film and that quite frankly aren't as funny as other jokes that are also in this very freaking film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this film quite clearly isn't the worst Muppet movie out there it's also not the The Muppets best work either but I can say with quite some certainty that this film is the worst Muppets Christmas special or Christmas movie that the The Muppets have ever made tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very freaking film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official the Muppets fandom wiki page and also lastly from Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up and featured and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.

Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas TV Special Review

 


Muppet fans we are now very fastly approaching Christmas day and as such I thought that it was only right that I review something that is to do with the The Muppets. However with Kermit The Frog and the gang only having starring in three four christmas specials that kind of made it difficult to pick one to review however I chose something that not alot people talk about and so here is my review of the very much not talked about christmas special with the christmas special in question being called simply just "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas" enjoy.

The plot of this special is Emmet and his mother work hard doing odd jobs barely earning enough money to get by and so when a talent show in there local town gets put on both Emmet and his mother enter hoping to ern money to by a present for the other. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this actual special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this actual special was really freaking cute and adorable and was the right kind of story that one would expect to see or even want to see in a christmas special in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this special is Jerry Nelson as Emmet Otter , Doc Bullfrog , Melissa Rabbit , Stanley Weasel and Yancey Woodchuck. Also starring in this special is Frank Oz as Chuck Stoat , Marilyn Sokol as Alice Otter , this specials director and producer Jim Henson as Harvey Beaver , Howard Snake and Mayor Harrison Fox , Richard Hunt as Charlie Muskrat , Fred Lizard and George Rabbit , Dave Goelz as "Pop-Eyed" Catfish , Wendell Porcupine and Will Possum and Eren Ozker as Gretchen Fox , Hetty Muskrat , Mrs. Mink and Old Lady Possum.

Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was really freaking. Which considering whom is starring / appearing in this very special isn't that much of a surprise to me at all since there are some really freaking good actors and actresses that are appearing in / starring in this very freaking special in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



So now then Kermit The Frog actually filmed scenes for this special which were shown when this special was first aired in 1977. However tho when Disney bough the The Muppets branding the makers or even the copyrights holders for this special pretty much had next to no choice but to cut out all of the scenes and all of the narration that was all done by Kermit The Frog however tho all of Kermit The Frog's scenes but not his narrations were all inserted back into the special for the specials 2018 blu-ray release it's just a shame that it took people fourteen freaking years to come together and give us something that is basically new content featuring the original voice of Kermit The Frog Jim Henson himself in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then this special is actually based on the 1971 book of the same name with the book itself being written by Russell Hoban and illustrated by his wife Lillian Hoban and as far as the I can tell this special is pretty much a faithful adaptation of the book. However this is something that I cannot say for sure tho as of until now i've never even heard of the book let alone read it but either way it does seem pretty cool that the makers of this special would hold this book is such high regards that they would willingly and knowingly produce what I think to be a pretty freaking faithful adaption of the book in question in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then the best word that I can use to describe this special is sweet because everything that's about this special is either sweet or cute. Which is in all honesty the pretty freaking thing that you want a christmas special to be and it really does help that this special is genuinely pretty freaking heartbreaking with both Emmet and his mother having to choose to give up the one thing that the other loves the most in this world in order to buy them something that well and truly does infact mean the world to them and would make them well and truly freaking happy in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.   



So now then even tho this special is really freaking cute it lacks the dark and almost cynical nature that one would typically associate with the The Muppets brand. Which is a shame because alot of the good jokes comes from seeing just how dark and cynical that the The Muppets could get and when you have a Muppets that's lacking all of that it means that this special lacks something that's special and unique in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this special has /  had a grand total running time of exactly forty nine minuets and eight seconds long. Which is the perfect amount of running time for this special since this special really doesn't have enough there in terms of either plot or story to cover anything that's even close to being one hour long or even a freaking feature length freaking running time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since according to IMDB anyways this special is a comedy special and well that means that I have to actually talk about the actual jokes that actually featured / presented to us in this special and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual jokes that are actually featured / presented to us in this special were really freaking bad. However tho while in most Muppets special this would be a bad thing in this special however it's a good thing since the main focus of this special isn't the comedy it's the heart of the two main characters in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this special was a really cute and was also a really freaking sweet special which is in all honesty the type of type of thing that you'd want to watch around this time of year in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that means that this very special erns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then ladies and gentlemen and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up and featured and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.

The Addams Family "Christmas With The Addams Family" Review

 


Well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen we are now just a few short weeks until Christmas Day which means that every single TV network / TV channel that's out there is going to be filling up your schedules with Christmas specials and with Christmas movies. Well in order to combat this I have decided to review an alternative Christmas special and so join me as I review the christmas special that you never thought you wanted to see until you actually saw with this freaking episode of The Addams Family being freaking called freaking simply just "Christmas With The Addams Family" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Wednesday and Pugsley are feeling down in the dumps because the addams's neighbour Mr. Thompson has told them that Santa Claus / Father Christmas isn't real and so it's up to Gomez , Morticia , Grandmama , Uncle Fester and Lurch to prove to both Wednesday and Pugsley that Santa Claus / Father Christmas is indeed real indeed. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this actual episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this actual episode was actually really freaking good and the actual plot of this actual episode was in all honesty really well freaking told in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode are John Astin as Gomez Addams , Carolyn Jones as Morticia Addams and Ken Weatherwax as Pugsley Addams. Also starring in this episode are Lisa Loring as Wednesday Addams , Blossom Rock as Grandmama , Jackie Coogan as Uncle Fester , Ted Cassidy as Lurch , Felix Silla as Cousin Itt and Gregg Martell as Mission Santa Claus. Now then this is perhaps the most complete cast list that I could find for this episode but yeah I did my best to find every single actor whose in this episode there's just one actor whom i couldn't find who did the voice for Santa Claus so it seems like the actor in question has just disappeared of the face of the earth in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was really freaking. Which seems to be the case with every single episode of the The Addams Family that i've reviewed thus far ad it seems to be a trend with this very / particular freaking show as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



So now then this episode I guess you could say is the start of a trend for the The Addams Family as they would go on to have not one but two more Christmas specials with the kind of a Christmas special called simply just "Halloween With The New Addams Family" TV movie and once again in the nineteen nineties with the The New Addams Family episode also called simply just Christmas With The Addams Family. Yeah I have no idea why production companies seem to think that pairing the The Addams Family with Christmas is a good idea because it's really freaking not a good idea since this family works best when it's around the season of freaking Halloween in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then this special episode really does hit it home with the fact that both Gomez and of course Morticia are indeed some really good parents indeed. Since the second that they find out that both Wednesday and Pugsley have had there believe in Santa Claus / Father Christmas shattered by a rather rather nasty neighbour both Gomez and Morticia go out of there way to restore there kids believe if Santa Claus / Father Christmas which is something that alot of parents would actually do for there little kids in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this special oddly does what alot of Christmas special still do to this very day which is having the cast of the special break character to wish us the audience a merry christmas. Which works well enough for other TV shows specials but it's not something that I personally think that works well enough for the The Addams Family since the The Addams Family would put there own macabre twist on the saying too make it there own and not just use the saying as it is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  


Now then apart from the out of nowhere musical number which leads to the cast breaking character and thus the fourth wall to wish all of us / us all a merry christmas there was one other thing that I really didn't like about this episode and that's the fact that we really don't get to actually see the rather nasty neighbour in question. Which means we don't really get to find out if this rather nasty neighbour was just a terrible person or was just another over worked and tired / exhausted / stressed out parent neither of which excuses his behaviour towards both Wednesday and Pugsley Addams but still giving the character some screen time would have been very freaking nice in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this very / particular episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty five minuets and forty seconds. Which for a story that's this thin and is this thinly drawn out having the episode run as short as it does is a very good thing indeed since increasing this episodes running time even by just five freaking minuets would be stretching this already thinly drawn storyline to it's breaking point in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Now then this is a comedy show after all and that means that there are some actual jokes to be found in this comedy show episode and so that means that I have to actually talk about the actual jokes that are featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual jokes that are featured . presented to us in this very episode are pretty freaking funny. Which is not to say that all of this episodes jokes are winners because there not but there are more then enough jokes in this episode that are actually that actually make this freaking episode worth while watching in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a nice alternative Christmas special to watch since it gives you all of the things that you expect to find in a Christmas special but it's just done with a nice Addams Family twist in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and well that means that this very episode erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images this film being the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page this is because all of the images that I got and that currently up and featured and on the official The Addams Family fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.

WWF Rebellion 2000 Review

 


Wrestling fans we over here in the UK very freaking rarely get to have any WWE PPV's held over here which is a shame because the UK has some of the best wrestling in the entire world and well to help to prove my point I thought that i'd do a review of another UK exclusive PPV. So join me as I review the PPV that with recent news is going to be hard to watch with the PPV in question being 2000 version of the PPV that is called simply just "Rebellion" enjoy.

Any wrestling fan that's worth there sault will tell you that any of these UK exclusive shows have to no story to tell whatsoever and the same thing is true for this show as well. Yes some storylines are being advanced but not in a major way that would effect the mainstream WWE canon which is a good thing since it means that these shows aren't really required viewing but at the same time they are there if you guys want to freaking watch them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


The set for this show is just one big screen with two slightly smaller screens at either side of the big screen. Which means that we do indeed get alot of dead space which very easily could have been filled with all of the usual England stuff that the WWE has and that the WWE likes to bring out whenever they do a show that's set or even freaking taped in England / the UK in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then they even could have created a UK set that they use whenever they are putting on either a Rebellion or an Insurrextion. Since it would make those shows look a big more different from any of the usual WWE / WWF shows and heck given that all of thse shows were being produced when the WWE / WWF was at its most popular they very could have afforded to have one or two UK exclusive PPV sets in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then I have to very full admit that I completely forgot that Debra was even the Lieutenant Commissioner of the WWE / WWF. Heck i dont know why Debra was even in this role since she does nothing of note in this role and she does nothing of note in this actual she's literally only there just to be a piece of eye candy and nothing more then that and heck she gets only one sentence of dialog where as Mick Foley gets several paragraphs worth of dialog all of which leads me to believe that Debra really wasn't needed for this show at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then since Jeff Hardy is featured in a match on this show I have to mention the situation that is currently unfolding regarding Jeff Hardy. Since after seeing both the match in question and his entrance to / for the match in question it's quite clear to me that the reason why Jeff Hardy was sent home from the WWE tour was / is because he's / he was as high as a freaking kite in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So then knowing that Jeff Hardy is presently going through alot of personal troubles it made his match on this show very hard for me to watch. Not because it's a bad match because it's not but it's because knowing what Jeff Hardy puts his body through by doing all of those dives that he's famous for it makes his matches now alot harder for me personally to watch because you know the path that he's going down or even about to go down and it's not a good path to be whatsoever and it's one that the WWE / WWF really should help him to get of that path that's currently / presently on in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then if there's one thing that I personally really didn't like about this particular PPV it's that the main event has alot and I really do mean alot of outside interference. Which is something that really did take me out of the match and plus I also hated the ending to the Chyna and Billy Gunn vs Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero match simply just because I personally felt that it should be Chyna who got scored the pinfall over Eddie Guerrero and not Billy Gunn who ultimately scored the pinfall over Dean Malenko in my personal freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this particular / very WWE / WWF PPV has / had an exact grant total running time of exactly two hours and twenty minuets and six seconds. Which was in all honesty the perfect amount of running time for this PPV since it means that none of the matches ran to long nor ran to short either and as such every single match was allowed to to come to it's more naturel conclusion all of which is really freaking helped by this PPV's running time in freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Now then since is a wrestling show after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show and well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual wrestling that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was really good. This is something which really shouldn't come as a surprise to absolutely anybody since the main event for this show is Kurt Angle vs Stone Cold Steve Austin , Rikishi vs The Rock and all four men really do deliver some really freaking good performances in this freaking match in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall for an event that is basically just a glorified house show there was alot more effort that went into this show then that went into this years Survivor Series simply because there was actual effort thrown into this show where as the same thing simply cannot be said for this years Survivor Series in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good as as well as all of the bad things that are in his particular PPV in this very review and as such this means that this very particular WWE / WWF PPV earns itself a freaking grand old score of exactly a freaking 7,5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page and lastly from Google Images. With my personally favourite website to use to get images from this episode being the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page this is simply because the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page  actually has alot of images from this episode and plus all of the of the images that are currently up and featured and on the official Pro Wrestling fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.

Doctor Who: Fury From The Deep Review



Doctor Who fans we are now officially living in an age where are now officially getting at the very least one or two new fully animated Doctor Who reconstructions every single years. As such I thought that i'd take a look back at the episode that is kind of an iconic episode and join me as I review the episode that saw the departure of one companion and the debut of another with the episode in question being called simply just "Fury From The Deep" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Jamie and Victoria find themselves at a Euro Sea Gas refinery off the coast of contemporary England where some rather infectious sea weed is currently spreading and it's up to our trio to stop the spread before all of the crew are in infected. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this actual episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this actual episode was really freaking good with a certain departure being handled very freaking well and the overall story very freaking enjoyable in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Patrick Troughton as The Doctor , Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon and Deborah Watling as Victoria Waterfield. Also starring in this episode is Victor Maddern as Robson , Roy Spencer as Frank Harris , June Murphy as Maggie Harris , John Abineri as Van Lutyens , John Garvin as Carney , Hubert Rees as Chief Engineer , Graham Leaman as Price , Richard Mayes as Chief Baxter , Margaret John as Megan Jones , Brian Cullingford as Perkins , Bill Burridge as Mr Quill , John Gill as Mr Oak and Peter Ducrow as Guard.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was really freaking good indeed. Which shouldn't really come as a complete and total surprise to absolutely anybody whatsoever as Doctor Who always has some really good acting within it and so it only makes sense that this episode also have some really good acting within in it as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.   



Doing the actual animation for this episode is Digitoonz Media & Entertainment PVT Ltd whom have provided the animation for episodes of Rick & Morty and several other things. Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was at best OK which is a shame because these Doctor Who animations have been getting alot better recently but for some strange reason the animation in this episode just feels like a huge freaking step down in terms quality in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then I mentioned at the start of this review that this episode sees the debut of a companion and I was technically right since this is the episode that sees the debut of The Doctor's sonic screwdriver. Even tho the device itself in one short scene it's a scene that apparently left a huge impressions on the shows producers because they kept that device around until the fifth doctors run on the show where it was then destroyed only to be brought back into the show during the ninth doctors run on the show and it's not hard to see why the device was so popular because it really is a device that can very easily move along the plot of an episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I was really well and truly shocked to see a wanted poster featured the Roger Delgado version of The Master in the background of various scenes of this very episode. This was a shock to me personally because even tho i've only seen this episode once all the way through i'd never noticed that one wanted poster before now but it was a nice little easter egg for die hard fans of the show to look for in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then this episode also marks the final ever appearance of Deborah Watling as the character of Victoria Waterfield and well I have to say that that her leaving from the show was really well built up in this episode. Since we don't just get one scene near the end of the episode of her expressing her desire to leave the TARDIS for good no we get several very highly emotional scenes where she expresses her desire to leave the TARDIS for good and this makes her final appearance all the more emotional for freaking me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this episode was six episodes long with each episode lasting roughly twenty five minuets in length which means that this whole entire serial is roughly two and hours and thirty minuets in grand total length. Which is in all honesty the right amount of both episodes and length for a story like this one to last since it gives us more then enough time to connect to these new guest characters and it actually gives time to see why this episodes main villain is a threat and why we should be scared for our main heroes when they do indeed eventually come up against this episodes main villain in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is an episode of Doctor Who episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual villains that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual villains that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode are kind of weak and not that scary looking. Which is a shame because they do have a really great power which is that this episodes main villains can eventually take over your mind after you've touched for just a split second which is a pretty cool and a pretty creepy power to have it's just a shame then that they couldn't really make this episodes main villains that freaking scary looking in my personal freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a pretty good episode that did an excellent job of handling a companions departure from the show but at the same time this episode also has some pretty freaking weak villains that just don't look that scary or even creepy to me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode and well that means that this very episode erns itself a freaking grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page , Amazon . co . uk and Goole Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Doctor Who: An Unearthly Child Review

 


Doctor Who fans it's been quite a long time since i've covered a classic of classic Doctor Who and well with the final episode of Doctor Who series 13 airing this Sunday I thought that now was the right time to dip my toes back into the world of classic Doctor Who and well i've chosen a literal classic episode to review for you all today. So join me as I review the very first ever episode of Doctor Who with the episode in question being called freaking simply just "An Unearthly Child" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Susan , Ian and Barbera find themselves in the stone age and are caught up in the middle of a power struggle between two warring stone age factions both of whom claim that they and they alone can make fire with there bare hands. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this very episode in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this very episode was at best decent since the plot doesn't really get going until episode 2 which for a four episode storyline isn't a good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Starring in this episode is William Hartnell as The Doctor , Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman and Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright. Also starring in this William Russell as Ian Chesterton , Derek Newark as Za , Alethea Charlton as Hur , Eileen Way as Old Mother , Jeremy Young as Kal and Howard Lang as Horg. In all honesty I in all honesty really did think that this episode had a much larger cast list but nope it turns that every single actors that i've listed is every single actors whom is appearing / starring in this very episode and that alone makes this episode feel completely different from the more modern episodes of Doctor Who where we now have more then enough cast members to fill out the cast of a feature length film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then as for / in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was shockingly really good. I say that because on paper a concept like / such as Doctor Who really doesn't require actually good acting from it's main actors and actresses and so it's good to see that all of the actors and actresses that are appearing in / starring in this freaking episode really did turn some really freaking good performances in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



So now then for anybody whom is expecting this incarnation of The Doctor to start out all friendly and welcoming well then you all should be in a for a bit of a freaking shock then wont you. Simply because this version of The Doctor isn't friendly at all and he hates everybody that he considers to be beneath him which is a far of cry from the version of the The Doctor that we now have on our screens but that just goes t show you how far he character has developed in the intervening fifty eight years since this episodes initial freaking broadcast in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then this is to my knowledge the only episode of Doctor Who to make use of flashback sequences but i could be wrong tho so please don't hold me to that. However if true tho then I have to wonder why they were included in this episode since you very easily / well could have gotten the exact same information across without having to include not one but two flashback sequences in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I really do have to talk about Susan because I really didn't like the character in this episode since she comes across as quite whining and annoying character. Which hopefully gets dialled down quite a bit in her later episodes / appearences but you only get one chance to make a good first impression and well she didn't make a very good first impression on me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then it really is hard for me personally to figure out who the main bad guy / villain of this episode was simply because literally everybody in the stone age faction / tribe act as villains towards all four of our main heroes. Which does make it hard to tell who the main villain / bad guy of this episode is but at the same time maybe everybody whose in / apart of the stone age faction / tribe are meant to be villains but if that is the case then why have our main heroes only run away from one set of the stone faction / tribe and not from the entire stone age faction / tribe which would make alot more sense story wise since all of the members of the stone age faction / tribe are being presented to us as villains in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this episode / serial lasts for four episodes with each episode lasting roughly around twenty three to twenty four minuets long in length which means that this whole serial lasts no longer roughly one hour and thirty minuets and well if anything this serial should have been at the very least five or even six episodes long in length. Since then all of our main heroes would then get the chance to fully fleshed out and our villains would then get the chance to actually show us why there actually villains and why we should be scared for our main heroes to be coming up against them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then since there is some action in this serial / episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode / serial and well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode / serial was at best OK. Which is in all honesty the best thing that I can say about the action that we got in this episode since this serial / episode was made in the early to mid nineteen sixties and so of course the action that we got in this episode isn't going to be that good because of that one simple fact in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this serial / episode wasn't a bad episode / serial for this iconic franchise to start out on it's clear as day to anybody with eyes that this show is still finding it's footing / feet with this particular episode / serial in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and all of the bad things that are in this episode / serial in this very review and as such that means that this particular episode / serial earns itself a freaking grand old freaking score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and from Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Young Indiana Jones And The Mystery Of The Blues Film Review

 


Indiana Jones fans i've both seen and thus reviewed every single Indiana Jones theatrically released movie. However what isn't talked about at least as much as the movies is the live action Indiana Jones prequel TV series and so well I thought that i'd put an end to that dry spell right here and right freaking now and so join me as I review the film that officially marked the return of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones with the film in question being called simply just "Young Indiana Jones And The Mystery Of The Blues" enjoy.

The plot of this film is a young Indiana Jones is working as waiter in Chicago when his boss is suddenly murdered and so it's up to the very young adventurer and his friends to help this murder before it's far to freaking late. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this film in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this film was really freaking weak which is kind of understandable given that this film is basically just two episodes of the TV show edited together but it is still a rather big issue that I personally had with this very freaking film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this film is Sean Patrick Flanery as Indiana Jones , Harrison Ford as Older Indiana Jones and Jeffrey Wright as Sidney Bechet. Also starring in this film is Jay Underwood as Ernest Hemingway , Keith David as King Oliver , Frank Vincent as John Torrio , Frederick Weller as Eliot Ness , Maria Howell as Goldie , Nicholas Turturro as Big Al Brown , Saginaw Grant as Greycloud , Jane Krakowski as Dale Winter , David Arnott as Clifford , Victor Slezak as O'Banion , Ray Serra as Colosimo , J. Leon Pridgen II as CJ and Byron Stripling as Louis Armstrong.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode / film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode / film was shockingly pretty good. I say this because there are some actors and actress that do turn in some fairly bad performances in this episode / film but at the same time there are some actors and actresses that do turn in some fairly actually good performances in this very episode / film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 



So now then for those of you who perhaps don't know this film is literally a reedited version of a pair episodes from a TV that's called simply just The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Why George Lucas chose to edit literally every single episode of this show into two feature length films is well and truly beyond me since that then creates issues with the plot of each episode but hey tho we get / got to see alot more Indiana Jones which must surely be a good thing tho in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then as I stated earlier on in this very review this episode / film featured the return of freaking Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and well I have to say that it was so freaking cool seeing actual Indiana Jones back again. It's just a shame that he's only in both the opening in the closing scenes of this film since he's there just to serve as a kind of storyteller which just felt like a complete and total waste of this version of this well and truly iconic character in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then the whole main purpose of this show was teach kids about history which is a fine goal indeed. However tho you still have to make your episodes and your films actually good tho and while this particular episode / film is good in most respects it's bad in other respects since this episode / film doesn't feel like anything that's anywhere even close to  being anywhere even near Indiana Jones and instead this episode / film instead feels more like a cheesy teenaged TV drama in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Now then this episode / film takes place in the roaring nineteen twenties and as such there is a lot of shall we say choice language used when referring to people of color. Which i'm actually glad that the makers of this show kept in because it shows us the viewer how hard people of color have had it back in those days and still do have it today I only wished that they followed up on a subplot involving the character of CJ as his plotline could have been rather freaking thought provoking in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this episode / film has / had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty five minuets and thirty four seconds. Which is a bit on the long side when you take into consideration that this film is literally just two episodes of a TV show edited together and the real plot of the film doesn't really kick in until the forty five minuet mark as such I in all honesty think either some stuff should have been shot for this film that advances the films plotline and thus makes the films plotline a lot more stronger or these two episodes should have bee reedited in such a way that the films main plotline becomes alot more stronger as a result in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then there was some action scenes in this episode / film and that means that I have to thus actually talk about all of the action that's featured / presented to us in this very episode / film and well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode / film was at best OK. Which is in all honesty the best thin that I can say about an early nineties TV show since early nineties TV shows very rarely had any good action scenes in them and yeah the same thing is kinda true for this very episode / film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this was a much more better return to the Indiana Jones franchise for the great Harrison Ford then what Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull was at least in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode / film in this very review and as such this means that this very films earns itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Indiana Jones fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the official Indiana Jones fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official Indiana Jones fandom wiki page  are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
