Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliott, Alison Doody, John Rhys-Davies
directed by: Steven Spielberg

January 06, 2004
It may just be coincidence but this time Harrison Ford that was a carpenter is not Dr. Indiana Jones (Junior) and his last crusade (until the next film) is to obtain a cup of a carpenter.

Even though this film can stand on its own, it can be more fully understood if you watch "Raiders of the lost Ark" first.

Once again we start out with a young Jones trying to save an artifact from pillagers. This lets us know of his heroic energy and introduces his father Professor Henry Jones (Sean Connery) and his obsession with the Holy Grail, even to the exclusion of his relationship with Junior.

Now grown Dr. Indiana Jones gives a class and explains that Archeology is a pretty strait forward science and not some ... Read More:

Teletubbies - Dance With the Teletubbies

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS


As the parent of an extremely active and easily bored 7 month-old, I don't know what I would do without this video. Our daughter absolutely LOVES it. With all the expensive equipment we have to entertain her, this ...video is the only item that holds her attention for any length of time. When she starts to cry, we happily reply with, "Time for Teletubbies!" Our vocabulary at home now includes "jumpy catchy ball", "hee-ya", and "again, again". Our little one squeals, laughs, giggles, and "talks" to this video...even though she can't mimic the movements yet, she is definitely interacting and not just being stuck in front of the television. She gets a little bored with the real-life segments, but we can always fast-forward to the songs and dances. ... Read More:

The Little Mermaid

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Jodi Benson, Christopher Daniel Barnes, Pat Carroll, Jason Marin, Samuel E. Wright
directed by: John Musker, Ron Clements

March 31, 1998
I love the fairy tales from Hans Christian Andersen, and "The Little Mermaid" is one of my favorite fairy tales from him. Like I said I like a little twist in a fairy story now and then; like the ending...the little sea princess gets her prince (it's a change from Andersen's original ending).

The animation and backgrounds are very beautiful and the characters are appealing,and also the casting is very good too; I love Ariel, she's one of my favorite Disney Princesses along with Cinderella & Aurora from "Sleeping Beauty." Ariel's voice actress Jodi Benson has an excellent singing voice for the film; and also suits her character.

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Chris Sarandon, Danny Elfman, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey, Glenn Shadix
directed by: Henry Selick

August 26, 1997

Only Tim Burton could produce a holiday musical about Halloween's grotesqueries taking over Christmas.

And in fact he did. Burton wrote and produced a charming stop-motion musical called "The Nightmare Before Christmas," which is as close as we'll ever get to a Burton Christmas film. And there's rarely a dull moment in this town called Halloween -- from start to finish, it's a quirky, macabre, vintage-flavoured ride through the darker side of everybody's favorite holidays.

In Halloween Town, the undead Jack Skellington is king, and each Halloween the residents try to make their celebration even more horrible than the year before.

But this year, something is missing for Jack, and he starts wondering if scaring people is ... Read More:

Cherfitness:a New Attitude

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Cher

December 22, 1998
This video is great because it has an awesome selection of tunes that make the workout go by nice and fast, but you still get a great workout. The lower body workout is brutal- two days later my butt is still killing me, but I know that means it's working great. The step aerobics is fun- I do it with 2 pound weights which helps with the upper body, too. I have fun doing it, and that is why I can stick with it.
I hope so bad that it gets turned into a DVD!!!

Hideous Kinky

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Kate Winslet, Saïd Taghmaoui, Bella Riza, Carrie Mullan, Pierre Clémenti
directed by: Gillies MacKinnon

April 11, 2000
Marrakesh was a famous hippy destination during those amazing hippy hears. Gillies MacKinnon, the director of Hideous Kinky, spent time here and documented the probably-at-least-partially-true story of an innocent middle-class young London woman with two daughters who goes off the deep end. Kate Winslet plays the lead role in a story narrated from the point of view of one of the girls. While their mummy goes about her business of drifting around looking for love and enlightenment, the girls shift mostly for themselves. One of the girls seems entirely willing to go along for the bumpy ride, but Lucy, the sensible one, craves tea-time, regular meals, school uniforms, and a reliable mother. Mostly set in the colorful and exotic local of central Marrakesh, Hideous Kinky ... Read More:

directed by: Robert Zemeckis

August 11, 1995
i didn't think this was a good movie.i can't pinpoint exactly why,but i
can tell you i was bored out of my skull.it was much too slow
moving,and i didn't find the gags funny at all.i'm guessing children
would like this movie,but i think even most teenagers would be
bored,but i could be wrong.truthfully i'm not even sure who the movie
was marketed to.i mean,there are some funny cartoon moments that kids
will probably find hysterical.and yet a lot a lot of the content is
very adult oriented,especially a lot of sexual innuendo.however,i think
it would be too slow for many adults.visually it's nice to look at,but
that is not enough to maintain interest for very long.if you have kids
who are preteen or younger,they ... Read More:

X, Y and Zee

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Caine, Susannah York, Margaret Leighton, John Standing
directed by: Brian G. Hutton

May 16, 2000
Yet again Amazon.com proves it is 'King of the Off-Beat'.

This movie is campy fun from beginning to end.

Michael and Liz are trapped in a sadisistic love-hate marriage until one day they set off for a typical party of the 'Swinging London Scene', where Michael sees and falls for the ever-so-sensitive Susannah York...pale,blonde,widowed single mother of twins. Liz will have none of it & with the help of her gay pal tries every trick in the book to win him back...suicide attempts,lesbian seduction...she'll stop at nothing.

Liz is at her absolute hysterical best,even the dreary Michael Caine can't put out her light.
