Lady and the Tramp

starring: Barbara Luddy, Larry Roberts, Peggy Lee, Bill Thompson, Bill Baucom
directed by: Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, Wilfred Jackson

September 15, 1998
The US DVD have a severely cropped image (though not 4x3) compared to the english region 2 release, which offer the complete image in a very wide format, with lots of black top and bottom. In you don't have a 31 inch (or bigger) 16x9 TV set, this can look awkward, but if you do, get the UK region 2 release, if you can. The difference is dramatic! Believe me. I have both. I got the US version first, but as the resolution isn't enough in NTSC, I got the UK release as well, and what I got, and only recently discovered, was a much wider image.

The US image perfectly fill up the 16x9 screen, but...whoa, how much it leaves out!!!!

Ben and Me Walt Disney Mini Classics

starring: Sterling Holloway, Charles Ruggles, Hans Conried, Bill Thompson, Walt Disney
directed by: Hamilton Luske

February 06, 1991
Although I found Amos to be a little anthropomorphic, he functions as an excellent literary device to add comedy to an otherwise perhaps boring autobiography. While Amos probably did not write the first sentence of the Declaration, it seems quite likely, judging from recent historical findings, that he did indeed invent bifocals. Anyway this movie is da bomb!!! LOL!!11!!

Love Actually

starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Colin Firth, Gregor Fisher, Martin Freeman (II), Jill Freud

April 27, 2004
For those of you who think that love is about serving and giving to another, and not about gratifying your own needs - please take my advice and avoid this film.
Aside from one storyline, I detected no real love in any of the plots in this film. There is no time for character development in this mishmash of stories, so the director didn't bother with it and simply jumped to intimacy. I usually love divergent story-line plots, but this movie was a disappointment on all levels. It panders to those who would, with glazed and vapid eyes, fall into a relationship with someone they hardly know and then wonder why they walk away, soon after (very soon after) with bruised hearts and warped ideas about love.
I am surprised by the positive reviews ... Read More:

Tex Avery's Screwball Classics 2

starring: Wally Maher, Pinto Colvig, Paul Frees, Bill Thompson, Frank Graham
directed by: Tex Avery

November 03, 1992
This is a short tape, just an hour or so, but enjoyable in many ways. Of course, it has a variety of Avery's outrageous characters, including the screwy squirrel and others. It also shows Avery's update of classic fairy tales, with Red Riding Hood appearing as a Las Vegas-style showgirl.

The animation is also an interesting snapshot of the WWII era in which it was made. There are many references to "ration points" and then-current entertainers. It makes for an amusing history lesson, and gives the modern viewer an additional challenge in trying to reconstruct the meaning of the topical jokes.

There are only about eight cartoons here, but they're a worthwhile sampling of the work of Text Avery, and of his time.
