Bill Cosby, Himself (1983)
I still have vivid memories of being a kid and hearing Bill Cosby do his The Dentist sketch on a show called Solid Gold. It was easily the funniest thing I had ever heard in my life, and I went around telling everyone just how hilarious Bill Cosby was. At the time, I only knew Cosby from his Picture Pages segments on Captain Kangaroo and the Fat Albert cartoons, and I actually felt like some type of visionary when a little television vehicle called The Cosby Show debuted soon thereafter based to

People Century: Endangered Planet
Throughout the twentieth century, the natural world has been assaulted as never before by advancing technology and unbridled economic growth. Cheaper fuel, bigger factories, more cars, pesticides -- all promised such rewards that their byproducts were tolerated as the price of progress. For many, however, evidence of industrys environmental toll emerged in the late 1950s -- in Minamata, Japan, where thousands were poisoned over many years by the outflow from a local aluminum factory.

It relates the story of Belle, a bookworm with a dotty inventor for a father; when he inadvertently offends the Beast (a prince whose heart is too hard to love anyone besides himself), Belle boldly takes her fathers place, imprisone

Taking an instant, mutual dislike to one another, the two endure rough waters, the presence of German soldiers, and their own bickering to finally fall into one anothers arms. This is classic Huston material--part adventure, part quest--but this time with a pair

The Pirates of Penzance
When New York theatrical producer Joseph Papp decided to bring Gilbert and Sullivan to Broadway, he added typically broad, bold strokes to make their singular operetta format meaningful to 1980s audiences. In The Pirates of Penzance, Papp had a story that offered a mixture of potential action and comedy that was less arcane than other G&S chestnuts, which Papps production underlined by playing up its antic conflict between its hapless, titular pirates and the citizens of Penzance, the Cornish t

Peter Pan has a special place in the realm of classic animated Disney films: it instills an element of childlike wonder. The 1953 version of James M. Barries story is colorfully told and keeps on the straight and narrow of the book. Barries wondrous focus on childs play is the key to its longevity: kids who dont grow up, shadows that run away from their owners, pirates, a fairy, and the magic ability to fly. In short, you cant help wishing the adventure would happen to you. Fueled by a few

RAD is the ultimate BMX movie. It is a movie about the underdog struggling to get to the top, or in Cru Jones case, the ability to prove himself. The action on bicycles in this movie started a freestyle frenzy all over the world. Guys like Eddie Fiola and Martin Aparijo played a significant part in the film. When I first saw this movie I begged my parents to buy me a freestyle bike to do the tricks I saw in the film, that was in 86 and I still consider BMX to be an important part of my life, th

And while Ozs TV broadcasts are now controlled by media mogul Ted Turner (who owns the rights), the advent of home video has made this lively musical a mainstay in the staple diet of great American films.

In our opinion, many parts of the movie were portrayed differently from how we pictured them in our minds. The movie seemed to be trying to draw teenage viewers with unneccesary fighting and added romance, and it didnt really keep the spirit of the book. Many key scenes and characters (i.e. Jake) were not included in the movie. One scene that was very symbolic and important in the book was the rattlesnake scene, which was not included in the movie.

In fact, I believe that this may be the first film that I have watched which had no redeeming values surrounding it. For any of you that have watched, like myself, the Ho
