Duchess of Duke Street

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Gemma Jones, Christopher Cazenove, Mary Healey, Leigh Lawson, Mel Churcher
directed by: Bill Bain, Raymond Menmuir

September 11, 2001
Produced and co-written by John Hawkesworth (best known for his role as producer and co-writer of Upstairs Downstairs), The Duchess of Duke Street tells the story of Louisa Leyton Trotter, a young Cockney woman from a working-class background with aspirations of becoming the finest cook in London. The series open in 1900, with Louisa landing a job as a cooking assistant to one of London's finest chefs. It's the chance of a lifetime for her, but her outspokenness threatens to be her downfall.

Nevertheless, she indeed rises to become a first-rate and much-sought-after cook and the proprietor of London's exclusive and very expensive Bentinck Hotel on Duke Street. Louisa owes much to Bertie, the Prince of Wales, with whom she has ... Read More:

Longest Day (1961)

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS

May 17, 1994
Director Darryl F. Zanuck tried his best with the technical resources at his dispostition at the time and using the narrative standar for epic movies of that time. But watching this movie today is a really act of courage. It drags and drags, the three hours seem to never end. Also, even if they tried to give a view of the global situation, they failed miserably.

The movie is an endless sequence of shell and fire sounds, a really pain. I simply don't like the movie, although I understand what they tried to do.

Lion King 1 1/2

February 10, 2004
J'étais septique à l'idée d'un Roi Lion 1½ (après le décevant Roi Lion 2), mais en fait, Le Roi Lion 1½ est pour moi le meilleur de la trilogie grâce à l'humour de Timon et Pumbaa, les chansons toujours autant rythmées et l'émotion qui nous submerge dans certaines scènes. Je conseille ce dvd à tous les fans du Roi Lion car vous ne saurez pas déçu du résultat !!

If you want to see one of the best, maybe the best, satire on the media (maybe topping even "Network"?), then this movie is for you. Don't miss it. I swear, a number of times I laughed so hard I cried.

Scarlett

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: Joanne Whalley, Timothy Dalton, Barbara Barrie, Stephen Collins, Annabeth Gish
directed by: John Erman

January 14, 1997
I really enjoyed this movie but they made one mistake. The whole rape scene wasn't something I wanted to see and they focused alot on Scarlett being in jail for killing a man. I found the movie was too long but otherwise I was entertained.

Castle in the Sky

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
from: Buena Vista

April 15, 2003
This review is based on the Disney version of the movie, voiced by James Van Der Beek, Anna Paquin, Cloris Leachman, Mark Hamill and others. The basic premise is extremely simple - it's the old good vs. evil, science vs. nature scenario, but the animation and imagination is so cool that it looks much more complicated than that.

In case you were wondering, this is not based on the book "Castle in the Air" by Diana Wynne Jones. "Castle in the Air" is the sequel to "Howl's Moving Castle", which was also done in anime by the master Miyazaki. "Castle in the Sky" has roots in the story of "Gulliver's Travels" where Swift wrote about a flying city named Laputa, upon which this film is based.

Winnie the Pooh:Cowboy Pooh

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > VHS
starring: John Fiedler, Peter Cullen, Michael Gough (II), Patricia Parris, Ken Sansom

September 07, 2001
I am going to review "Cowboy Pooh" through the eyes of my three year old. This is the reason for the five star review. He loves the movie and watches it over and over and due to the fact that there is a "Choo Choo" train in the movie does not seem to hurt! If your child is a fan of Winnie the Pooh, and likes trains you really can't go to far off on this one!
