Halloween Tree

starring: Annie Barker, Ray Bradbury, Darleen Carr, Lindsay Crouse, Alex Greenwald
directed by: Mario Piluso

September 05, 1995
This is one of my favorite cartoons to show to middle schoolers. We study Medieval Europe and this is the perfect way to talk about how all these different cultures contribute to Halloween as we now practice it. Ray Bradbury is my favorite author, so we read some of the book and the movie is narrated by him so you can use this to teach similes and metaphors. Great learning tool! But I wish it was on DVD!

No Dessert Dad Until You Mow the Lawn

starring: Joshua Schaefer, Robert Hays, Joanna Kerns, Allison Mack, James Marsden
directed by: Howard McCain

This is one of my favorite movies! It has a wonderful cast and great characters! Tyler, the mean big brother, is played by my favorite movie star, James Marsden! He has so much talent! The plot of the movie is good and there are many funny jokes! It's a great family film! Its even better when you watch it and then watch 27 Dresses! Then you see how James has gone up in his acting career! I say every family should watch this movie! It's a classic!

Donnie Darko

starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Holmes Osborne, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Daveigh Chase, Mary McDonnell
directed by: Richard Kelly (II)


This bloodless production's period costume design, cars, TV newscasts and popular music do nothing to make it seem like anything other than a product of this torpid decade; you can't sell a counterfeit 1988 to a fledgling of that enormous, tacky era. If I want '80s teen angst or surrealism, I'll consult the genuine article and watch some old David Lynch or John Hughes films (separately), all of which have what this film doesn't: character, substance and zeitgeist without all the hokey pretension of this boring, distended exercise.

The novelty of this movie's time-travel plot gimmick can't sustain its numerous uninspired scenarios, complete dearth of appealing and interesting characters, vast array of moronic clichés and Maggie ... Read More:
