Taz: Quest For Burger Film Review

 


For some reason Warner Bros are choosing now to produce more Looney Tunes with a slew of new TV shows and new movies all due to come out soon. Well one of those new movies has just been released to shockingly very little fan fare so much so that I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know that this movie was even a thing and so then join me as I review the film that I wouldn't blame you if you didn't know about it with the film in question being called simply just "Taz: Quest For Burger" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when her father and food is stolen a young bandicoot teams up with Taz to get get them back before it's far to late. Now then inters of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad with this films plot being dumb but enjoyably dumb in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Steve Blum as Tasmanian Devil , Hadley Gannaway as Quinn and Looney Tunes regular Eric Bauza as Sid and A Bandicoot Friend. Also starring in this film is Ian James Corlett as Dad and Bill , Ely Henry as Aristotle , Piotr Michael as Lou and Stan , Kevin Michael Richardson as Butch and A Emo , Jon Luke Thomas as Ned and Sam , James Urbaniak as Rocky and Kari Wahlgren as Melanie and A Koala.

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 in all honesty not that bad. As this films cast is made up of really good voice actors and actresses but there not helped by the fact that this films script gives them absolutely nothing to work with interms of what their respective characters personalities even are.



Doing the animation for this film is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Titmouse Inc. and Inspidea. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad with this films animation at best being very ugly to look at which is a shame because the Looney Tunes deserve better then this.


I'm not going to lie this is bad film and what makes this even worse is the fact that Warner Bros cancelled The Day The Earth Blew Up which was star Porky Pig and Daffy Duck and yet they chose to release this film. This is a film that should have been cancelled as it's just not that good of a film and is a prime example of the fact that Warner Bros right now might say that they care about the Looney Tunes brand but it's clear as day that they don't care about it which is a shame because these characters are to them what Mickey , Donald , Goofy , Minnie and Daisy are to Disney.

You can tell that Warner Bros just doesn't care about the Looney Tunes because of the fact that they hired Bryan Condon the guy who wrote episodes of Aquaman: King Of Atlantis , Thundercats Roar and Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs! to write this movie. I'm not saying that he's a bad writer but when alot of the shows that you've worked on are bad shows that's not a good sign and the fact that Warner Bros hired him to write this movie just goes to show you that they don't care about the Looney Tunes brand at all.


If it seems like i'm being hard on this movie it's because it had so much potential to be good and yet they somehow found away to make it a bad movie. Like for example having Taz go on a mission to help to save this girls father and food should make for a good film but then they go and make them both loners and give both of those characters the exact same character arc and top of that they change Taz's character as Taz would never say no to eating food and yet in this film that's exactly what he does at several points in the film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fourteen minuets and fifty eight seconds. Which to this films credit is a good running time to have as this film really doesn't have alot their interms of either plot or story to cover anything longer then that and heck this film would even struggle to make it up to one hour and thirty minuets as the films story is that thinly drawn out but again to this films credit this film does have some really good pacing to it with the film really just flying right on by.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty pretty bad. With this film barely managing to get a smile out of me and while the films target kid audience might find this film to be really funny older fan will find nothing funny in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film is a really bad film and it's one that should be forgotten about and will be forgotten about regardless of the films really very dreadful lack of marketing as it is just that bad of a film 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 film in this very review and as such that means that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 3 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 an girl 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 Looney Tunes fandom wiki page and 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition and there's only one way to end this review and that's by saying T-T-T-T-THAT'S ALL FOLKS!.

Justice League Unlimited "Initiation" Review

 


The Justice League are a team that have been around for decades but despite that haven't spawned that many TV shows either live action or animated. Well in 2001 that's exactly what we got and it turned out to be such a hit show that just three later a sequel show featuring a much more expanded line up of characters debuted on Cartoon Network and so then join me as I review the episode that introduces Green Arrow to the Justice League with the episode in question being called simply just "Initiation" enjoy.

The plot of the episode is Green Arrow , Green Lantern , Captain Atom and Supergirl are tasked with helping out a country that has had a nuclear accident only to find out that the accident has created a much more bigger problem then first anticipated. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad of a plot but at the same time it wasn't that good of a plot either with this episodes plot not really explaining why Supergirl and Captain Atom were chosen for the Justice League but this episodes plot was very entertaining and was was also really very engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and George Eads as Captain Atom and Robber 2. Also starring in this episode is Phil LaMarr as John Stewart / Green Lantern , Lex Lang as Robber 1 and A Soldier , Carl Lumbly as J'onn J'onzz , George Newbern as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman , Kin Shriner as Oliver Queen / Green Arrow , James Sie as General Kwan and A Scientist and Nicholle Tom as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl.

Now then interms 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 in all honesty really good. With the actors that you expect a great performance from well and truly delivering but what really sells the acting in this episode is the fact that the cast members that you don't know what kind of performance to expect really do deliver performance wise in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at DR Movie Co., LTD.. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good and was alot better then what it really had any right to be and then what I thought that it would be as well.



For those of you that don't know know even tho it features an entirely different cast the 2010 direct to DVD animated film Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths is meant to serve as bridge between the Justice League animated series and this show. I don't know why they didn't have the story for this episode be about the league expending as the original show was known for having each episode be a multipart episode and here it would make sense as they'd have to explain why the Justice League now needs expanding an still tell a good story.

I really did like that this version of Green Arrow is one that looks after the average joe and is more concerned with stopping small time crimes. As this is something we really hadn't seen in the DCAU before now with each of the main heroes being more focused on taking down the big bad guy and less focused on stopping a small time robbery as both are just as important to being a hero and both are things that each member of the Justice League should have been focused on just as much as they are with the other.


There are some things that I didn't like in this episode like for example Captain Atom who was just given a pointless subplot with Supergirl and his character was ultimately useless in the main plot of the episode as well. I also didn't like the fact that Green Arrow only joined the team because he saw a pretty woman just because it goes to show you that he's learned nothing from the plot of the episode and while having him fawn over a pretty woman is great for his Oliver Queen persona it's not something that works or his Green Arrow persona.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and forty five seconds. Which for this episode is a really good running time to have as this episodes plot doesn't have alot interms of either plot and story and so stretching this episodes plot tom even just two episodes would be stretching this already thin story even thinner but at the same time I can't help but wonder what this story would even be like if it was even just one episode longer but I will admit that this episode does have some really good pacing to it tho with no scene in the episode really lasting longer then what it really needs to in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action 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 action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episodes action being really cool and really showing of just what it is exactly that both Green Arrow and Supergirl bring to each mission in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a great start to the show and I can very easily see why this show became as popular as it was as this show really does give you a good example of just how good this show and could be 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 in this very review and as such that means that this very episode 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 DC Database fandom wiki page , the official DC Animated Universe fandom wiki page and 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 DC Animated Universe fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official DC Animated Universe fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Justice League Of America 1997 Film Review

 


I just love finding obscure pieces of comic book movie media just because it's always fascinating to me to see how these characters are handled. Well i've found another piece of obscure comic book media that just so happens to feature a character who has his first ever solo live action movie coming out next week and well I thought that i'd review this movie just to see if it's as bad as they say that is and so then join me as I review the film that brought DC's most famous team to the world of live action with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League Of America" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Metro City is threatened by The Weatherman it's to the Justice League Of America and new member Tori Olafsdotter to save the day before it's to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but at the same it's just as cheesy as you'd think that it would be and not in an entertaining way either  in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Matthew Settle as Guy Gardner / Green Lantern and Kim Oja as Tori Olafsdotter / Ice. Also starring in this film is John Kassir as Ray Palmer / The Atom , Michelle Hurd as B.B. DaCosta / Fire , Kenny Johnston as Barry Allen / The Flash , David Krumholtz as Martin Walters , Elisa Donovan as Cheryl , Ron Pearson as Dr. Arliss Hopke , Jason Weissbrod as Drazen , Miguel Ferrer as Dr. Eno / The Weather Man and Beauty And The Beast star David Ogden Stiers as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter.

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 in all honesty not that bad. With this films cast doing there absolutely best to make this films script work for them and to turn in good performances however this films script gives the cast nothing to work with interms of their characters personalities and so the cast can;t really turn a great performances because of the fact that the script just won't allow for it.


Doing he CGI for this film is the little known studio Digital Magic Company and Vision Crew Unlimited. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI 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 CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad and when I say that it's bad I don't just mean that it's bad by the standards of today I mean it was bad even by the standards of the nineties.



For some strange reason the makers of this film thought that it was a good idea to have interview segments with the characters. This to me just reeks of padding as the interviews add nothing to the plot of the film plus not only are they really awkward with the cast mostly from what I can tell just making up their answers as they go along but they also don't make sense because why would a superhero or in this case a superhero team give an interview where there civilian name is going to be shown and there faces are quite clearly seen.

This was a pilot for a potential Justice League Of America live action TV show and this film even fails at being a pilot. As everything is already set up when the film starts with five of the six league members having not only met but also formed the team when a decent pilot would tell the story of how these characters and how this team was formed but for some strange reason the makers of this chose not to go with that route and so we're left wondering how The Flash met The Atom , Green Lantern , Fire and Martian Manhunter when the story for a decent pilot film really would have told the story of how just how exactly these characters met and formed the Justice League in the first place.


I'd say that the costumes for this show are Halloween costume story quality but that would be insult to the costumes that you can get at those halloween costume stores. As yeah the costumes sued for this pilot film are pretty bad I don't doubt that if the film was successful enough to spawn a full length series that the quality of the costumes would have improved but you only get one chance to make a good first impression and with that in mind this film should really should have had much more better costumes then the ones that we eventually ended up with getting in this very film.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty one minuets and fifty seconds. Which is this one of this films very few saving graces because it means that you don't have to watch this bad film for very long and but if you took out alot of this films many interview segments this film would come in at the very least at one hour and ten minuets because of the fact that when you get right down to it this film doesn't have alot of plot to cover that large amount of running time but this films credit this film does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action 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 action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty decent for the time. As this was a made for TV film and so expecting mind blowing action from this film would just be ridiculous but at the same time this film could have better action scenes in it tho as the ones that we got just weren't really that impressive to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film is just bad as people say that it is but at the same time tho it's really just such a weird time capsule that it's in all honesty worth seeing just to see how bad and weird and strange that this film is and can be 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 film in this very review and as such that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of a 3.5 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 DC Database fandom wiki page , the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page and 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My First Impressions Of The The Idol TV Series

 


Finally after what seems like years the new TV show from the creator of Euphoria has finally debuted on HBO. When I say that this show had production issues I really do mean it and it's something that I will go into more detail about later on in this very post but let's just say that it's wonder that the show even made it's air date and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the show that is basically HBO's version of Nashville with the show in question being called simply just "The Idol" enjoy.

The plot of this first episode is when a lewd picture of her is leaked online trouble singer Jocelyn ends up seeking up the advice of a leader of a cult. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured /presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad with this episodes plot being of this episode somewhat decent but the plot for the most part was also really pretty bad in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is this shows co-creator and producer Abel Tesfaye as Tedros and Lily-Rose Depp as Jocelyn. Also starring in this episode is Suzanna Son as Chloe , Troye Sivan as Xander , Jane Adams as Nikki Katz , Hank Azaria as Chaim , singer Jennie Ruby Jane as Dyanne , Rachel Sennott as Leia , Hari Nef as Talia , Moses Sumney as Izaak , Dan Levy as Benjamin and Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Destiny.

Now then interms 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 in all honesty not that bad with alot of this episodes vast doing their best to turn in good performances. However you can quite clearly tell Abel Tesfaye isn't an actor and as such his performance in this episode is just so wooden and that really does the effect the overall quality of the acting in this episode.


To me the closest show that I can compare this show to is Nashville as both shows deal with fallen singers trying to rescue their respective career's. However whereas Nashville gave us likable characters and a more realistic storyline this show gives us some rather unlikable characters and it's storyline seems like it isn't that realistic at all which is a shame because this shows storyline is one that could work as a TV show as it has everything all their to make a great TV show all it would need is a creative team to pull it off.


You might be mistaken for thinking that Sam Levinson is the only writer and director for this show however you'd be wrong. As this show originally had a different director behind it and he wasn't set to write the show however when the show had already filmed over EIGHTY PERCENT of it's first season for some unknown reason the shows original director Amy Seimetz left the show and Sam decided to scrap everything that had been filmed for no reason and decided to change the storyline to make it more of a love story instead of what it was originally really meant to be which was about a troubled starlet falling victim to a predatory industry figure and fighting to reclaim her own agency.

This one cause in delay meant that filming for the show had to be paused several times once so that the new scripts could be written and once again so that main star , co-creator and c-producer Abel Tesfaye could embark on his After Hours til Dawn Tour. This just goes to show you that this show had alot of production issues with some stuff even coming out just a few short weeks ago with co-star Lily-Rose Depp coming out and admitting that at times she would stay clear of him when he was in “full Tedros mode.” which I think means he was method acting and perhaps he took it to far but either way she shouldn't have had to have done that as most of her scenes in this first episode are with him but this isn't he shows only controversy either with some of the shows crew showing concerns about the shows more extreme nature.


I really do think that the original version of this show might have been the more better version of the show. As you can tell right away that Abel's character isn't a good guy and so making the show into some sort of dark and twisted romance story just doesn't work because your not giving us likable characters and the show makes it's main character look dumb for falling for someone who is quite clearly a bad person and as such having the original show be a commentary on how things are in not only the music industry but also the entertainment industry as a whole would have been a much more better way to take this show and to take this storyline.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty four minuets and twenty eight seconds. Which is pretty much the bog standerd running for any HBO drama however with that being said his episode doesn't real have alot of story to cover that large amount of running time and as such for a large portion of this episodes running time we are just left seeing these characters just going abut their day to day lives and there's only so long that you can see that until it get boring but this episode is helped by the fact that it has some really good pacing to it.


So now then since this is a drama that means that I have to actually talk about the actual drama 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 drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty pretty bad. As this episodes drama just comes out of know where and it plays no impact on the actual plot itself it;s their just for the sake of being their and that's really it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this episode was a really bad first episode but i will admit that the show does have some potential to it but judging by the reviews it's not going to reach that potential or get a second season either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released and then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post 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 post from the official Black Pink fandom wiki page , the official Nashville fandom wiki page , the official Euphoria fandom wiki page and 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman TV Series "Pilot" Review


Superman is a pop culture icon who has been around since the thirties and has spawned many vagarious TV shows both animated and live action. Well there's one Superman show that alot of people seem to forget about and i'm one of those people however it's that very show that I want to talk about today and so then join me as I review the debut episode of the show that brought Superman firmly into the nineties with the episode is question being called simply just "Pilot" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when a scientist that correctly predicts a rocket will explode dies it's up to Clark , Jimmy and Lois and to find out who is behind the explosion. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being really entertaining and at the same time very cheesy as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least


Starring in this episode is Dean Cain as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman , Teri Hatcher as Lois Lane and Lane Smith as Perry White. Also starring in this episode is Michael Landes as Jimmy Olsen , Tracy Scoggins as Catherine "Cat" Grant  , K Callan as Martha Kent , Eddie Jones as Jonathan Kent , Shaun Toub as Asabi , Elizabeth Barondes as Lucy Lane , Kim Johnston Ulrich as Dr. Toni Baines , Kenneth Tigar as Dr. Platt , Margaret Blye as Mrs. Platt , Gloria LeRoy as Beatrice , Mel Winkler as Henderson and John Shea as Lex Luthor.

Now then interms 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 in all honesty not that bad. With this episodes cast doing their best to make this episodes script work for them however the script gives this cast mostly nothing to work with interms of what their characters personalities are as but Lois is given a tone of personalty and her actress performance can turn in a really good performance because of it.


This episode gives us a great representation of everything that Superman should be as the Superman in this episode is a very hopeful character who is always looking for the best in people. This is everything that Superman should because at hos core Superman is a very hopeful person he's somebody who is always looking to say the best in everybody and to see a show that very clearly understands that aspect of he character to me says that this show was made by fans of the character and not by people who haven't read a single Superman comic book issue in their lives. 


This show does something new with the characters of Lois Lane and Clark Kent and that's put alot more focus on their love lives then it does their work lives. This is evident from the pretty much the first scene that we have with Lois Lane where alot of the people around her even her friends are complaining about her lack of a love life and on the flip side of that we have Clark Kent somebody who I don't think has been in love in his life as he becomes instantly smitten with Lois which was a little cheesy but given that this episode is choke full to the brim with cheese I do kind of let it slide but it is something that really is pretty laughable when you see it in the actual episode itself.

Lex Luthor in this episode to me just isn't that creepy of a villain as he really isn't given a reason as to why he's evil. As he just comes across as being evil for the sake of being evil which doesn't make him a compelling character which is a shame because the actor playing him John Shea does look like somebody who would be a villain if you met him in real life but because alot of this episodes focus is spent on developing the romance between Clark and Lois it means that we don't get any time fully developing this character and actually making him an actually creepy villain.


This episode doesn't give us an origin story for Clark which does make sense as his origin was very well known even by the early nineties. However at the same time I can't help but wonder just what this world's version of Krypton would like as this show like shows like Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: Legendary Journeys looks like it was a cheap show to produce and so seeing things like Krypton or even the The Fortress Of Solitude both of which are key parts in the Superman lore would be pretty interesting to me.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty two minuet and thirty one seconds. Which was a it on the long side for this episode as when you can right down to it this episode really doesn't have alot of story to cover that large amount of running time which is odd because this episode was originally aired as a made for TV movie and so you'd have thought that more effort would have gone into giving the episode a storyline that can cover that large amount of a running time but sadly this isn't the case and as a result the episode does also have some pretty average pacing to it as well.


So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action 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 action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Granted we don't get to see that much of action in this episode mostly because of how small this shows budget would have been but what action we do get tom see was really good and impressive for what they could have done on a TV show at the time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really solid episode to start of a show that would last all the way until 1997 but with that being said this is still an episode that's very much of the nineties 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 in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as or 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 Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman fandom wiki page and 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

However it still needs hitting home just how much that I love this show because it's a show that I actively look forward to talk about and so then join me as I review the episode that brought the first series of this really and truly fantastic show to a close with the episode in question being called simply just "The Scarecrow Hop" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Aunt Sally is let go from her job at the big house Worzel takes it upon himself to cheer his beloved up. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the episodes plot being really entertaining when it needs to be and really very engaging and thought provoking when it wants to be as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Jeremy Austin as John Peters. Also starring in this episode is Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman , Mike Berry as Mr. Peters , Norman Bird as Mr. Braithwaite , Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Denis Gilmore as Harry , Megs Jenkins as Mrs. Braithwaite , Norman Mitchell as P.C. Parsons , Bill Pertwee as The M.C , Michael Ripper as Mr. Shepherd and Joan Sims as Mrs. Bloomsbury-Barton.

Now then interms 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 in all honesty really good. Which for this series let alone this show isn't something that's all that new as every single episode of this has always had some really good acting in it and the actors are helped by the episodes wonderful script and so all the cast have to do is just say the words as they are written and boom a good performance will come out naturally.



This episode is very a good example of Worzel being a kind person as he takes Aunt Sally to a local dance just because he wants to cheer her up. This just goes to show just how kind of a character that Worzel has grown to become as the Worzel that we meet at the start of the series wouldn't do anything like that and yet due to the things that he;s gone through over the course of the series he's become more kind and has now started showing that kindness to the person in the whole entire show who isn't kind to anybody but herself.


For some strange reason on the recent DVD and Blu-ray release of the series that I own they turn Worzel's skin orange for one small scene in this episode. Which was something that I found to be very distracting and if it was just limited to this episode it wouldn't be to bad but this is the second time in this one series that i've seen this come up and so I have to wonder what happened when they were restoring this show that caused characters to change their skin color as it's something that is very distracting.

What I really loved about this episode is that it not only mentions the previous episode with the ending of that episode being the driving force behind this episodes event but it also mentions the third episode of the show as well. This does provide the series with a sense of continuity and world building that you just don't get to see any kind of TV programmes these days but on the flip side of that it is something that I could very easily see putting of and and all new fans of this show as well as it would mean having to watch basically an hours worth of programming just to understand a few lines of dialog in this episode.


If you thought that this episode was going to end it's first series on happy note then I have some bad news for you. As it actually ends on what might be considered a sad note but it's how it ends that makes this series stand out as we find out that it's when she's in her attic that Aunt Sally dreams her dreams of marrying a rich royal and it's when Worzel is on his pole that he dreams his dreams this was on oddly poignant ending for a show whose first series episodes often ended in an upbeat way and it's an ending that I really did love as it really does show that the hero doesn't always get the girl and sometimes just because you did the right thing doesn't mean that you get to have a happy ending.

Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was I do know that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty four minuets. Which is pretty much the bog standard running time for this show and while this episode does make the most of it's running time I do wish that this episode was just a tad big longer just so the more emotional ending could have more of an impact and you could have had more scenes at the dance hall just because those were some really fun and funny scenes but if you did that then you'd end up messing with this episodes pacing as this episode does have some really good pacing to it.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episode having some really funny moments in it but at the same time there were also alot of of jokes that just straight up didn't land as well as they should have done in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really solid end to a great first series of this truly wonderful show that truly does show you just what this show can be like when it's at it's absolute best 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 in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9 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 Amazon . Co . Uk , Wikipedia and 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Saved By The Bell: Wedding In Las Vegas Film Review

 


There are some shows and movies that just scream nineties and well the movie that i'm about to review today is one of those movies. It's also a movie that has for some strange reason been lost to the sands of time which is weird because the 2020 reboot of the show openly referenced this movie and so then join me as I review the movie that should have served as the end to this franchise with the movie in question being called simply just "Saved By The Bell: Wedding In Las Vegas" enjoy.

The plot of this movie is teenage sweethearts Zack and Kelly are about to get married if only they can pay for the wedding. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot 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 plot that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK at best as the film adds in another plot line which just isn't needed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Zack Morris and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen as Kelly Kapowski. Also starring in this film is Mario Lopez as A.C. Slater , the late Dustin Diamond as Samuel 'Screech' Powers , Lark Voorhies as Lisa Turtle , Liz Vassey as Carla , Spencer Rochfort as Curt Martin , Mark DeCarlo as Freddie Silver , Melody Rogers as Mrs. Melanie Morris , John Sanderford as Mr. Derek Morris , the great Dennis Haskins as Mr. Richard Belding , Elizabeth Berkley as Jessie Spano , Bob Golic as Mike Rogers , Kiersten Warren as Alex Tabor , Gilbert Gottfried as Bert Banner , Pat Corley as Sheriff Myron Thorpe , Marianne Muellerleile as Diana Beaujolais and Richard Schiff as Deputy Dano.

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 in all honesty not that bad. As Saved By The Bell was one of those shows that was never known for having great acting in it and so to expect this film to have high quality acting in it would just feel weird and really oddly out of place for this franchise.



For those of you that don't know this film is a follow up to the final episode of Saved By The Bell: The College Years. With the events of this film having been set up in the final few episodes of that show however you don't really need to have seen that show all that much as apart from one scene at the end and one at the beginning there's next to nothing that connects the movie to that show and while yes it would help to least watch those last two episodes it's not really a must watch as this film doesn't tie up an of that shows storylines at all.


In what was a shockingly common trend for movies that featured teen sweethearts getting married in Las Vegas this movie also has a mob story. Which is just unneeded as it adds nothing to the overall plot of the movie and is there just have a car chase scene and nothing more then that which makes me wonder why they bothered to include that plot line in the movie as the main plot line is what the fans of the show are here to see and it's that plot line that alot of people who even had just a passing interesting in Saved By The Bell are here to see.

This movie really should have been the finale for the franchise as a whole as the whole hook for this franchise was the whole will they won't they relationship between Zack and Kelly. With that now settled and all of the characters having moved on to the next stage of their lives there was no need for that dreadful spin off Saved By The Bell: The New Class to even happen as this film already gave us a satisfactory conclusion to this world and to these characters and so there was no need to produce a spin off show without these characters that people had really come to love at this point in the franchises history.


This film just looks and feels cheaply made which does make sense as this was a made for TV movie but at the same time you still have to look expensive. You can tell that this movie was cheaply made because they make it really obvious when their a stunt person and they have some really obvious dubbing for those scenes as well and on top of that the opening credits look like the type of thing that someone would put on one of their home movies and not something that a major network like NBC would have on one of their movies.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty five minuets and fifty three seconds. Which for a film like this one is pretty much the exact running time that you'd expect it to have and to this films credit it does make the most that it can do with that running time however they really could have expanded upon the main plot and given the returning something more to do then just a cameo near the end of the film all by removing the pointless mobster subplot but I will admit that this film does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy 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 comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty OK at best. As this film does have some jokes that will put a smile on your face but at the same time his film features alot more bad joke in it then it does good jokes in it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall if this film was the end of the Saved By The Bell franchise it would have been a very serviceable end but as it is it;s just a decent film that's a time capsule in to the nineties and nothing more then that 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 film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 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 Saved By The Bell fandom wiki page and 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
