Despite the presence and encouragement of his friends Genie, Carpet, and Abu, he is fearful and anxious. He is most worried as to what kind of father he will be, having never known his own. But when the 40 Thieves disrupt the wedding trying to steal a magical oracular talisman, Aladdin is drawn into a dangerous quest to stop the thieves...and find his long-lost father.<br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Carter Review:</strong> We would have to say this is probably the best released straight to DVD Disney sequel. It's really good. It's very helpful that Robin Williams is back as the Genie. It's some pretty good songs, it's fun, entertaining, and has good action! Not to mention some good one-liners. </div>7Carters!E,H,V,B,R,C,Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17854319630910648780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554029671304366607.post-13140525103905829802008-02-23T20:06:00.000-08:002008-02-28T20:10:26.395-08:00Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story<a href="http://www.island-flower.com/dvdannecon2.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.island-flower.com/dvdannecon2.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>Plot Summary:</strong> Set years after her resignation and return from Kingsport Ladies' College, Anne is persuaded to join her fiance, Gilbert, in New York City as he begins his tenure at a major hospital. However any chance of lasting happiness is dashed when Gilbert decides to bow to social pressure and enlist to serve in The Great War in Europe. Anne stays behind and becomes a published writer, but learns that contact has been lost with Gilbert. Seeing no other option, Anne decides to venture to Europe herself to find him. In doing so, she begins an adventure that would challenge her wits and imagination to the limit.<br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Carter Review:</strong> This 3rd installment of the Anne movies is much different than the first two. I consider the first two the same movie...I do not count this one in that string. It is still very good, and very moving, but I promise you'll enjoy it more if you don't compare it AT ALL to the first two movies. This is very emotional and pulls on those heart strings bit time.</div>7Carters!E,H,V,B,R,C,Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17854319630910648780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554029671304366607.post-59118340546584439922008-02-23T20:00:00.000-08:002008-02-28T20:04:51.451-08:00Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel<a href="http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/P2281374.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/P2281374.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong>Plot Summary:</strong> Anne Shirley accepts a teaching position at a girls boarding school in a town dominated by a rich and belligerant family determined to make her life miserable. <div><br /><div><strong>Carter Review:</strong> This just picks right up from the first set of movies, so I consider them one in the same. This one is a little more grown-up, but still the same wonderful Anne Shirley, with the same amazing tales and adventures. Oh, but Gilbert Blythe is even dreamier in this one!</div></div>7Carters!E,H,V,B,R,C,Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17854319630910648780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554029671304366607.post-77461934037620560042008-02-23T19:54:00.000-08:002008-02-28T20:05:32.946-08:00Anne of Green Gables<a href="http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/L2313362.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/L2313362.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>Plot Summary:</strong> At the turn of the century on Prince Edward Island, Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla decide to take on an orphan boy as help for their farm. But they get an unexpected jolt when they're mistakenly sent a girl instead: Anne Shirley. Anne's a dreamer with an unusual point of view, far removed from Marilla's pragmatic ways, and it's only on trial that Marilla agrees to keep Anne...if Anne can keep out of trouble, only Anne has a positive genius for it.<br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Carter Review:</strong> My dad likes to call this Anne of Green Boring, but I know deep down even he loves it. I think this movie is necessary in order to be considered a human being. Anne is one of literature's (and now movies) greatest characters. She is inspirational. And Gil, I won't even get into those dreamy details. This is a long, but very enjoyable, very worthwhile watch. The kind of movie that makes you want to snuggle under a blanket in front of a fire with some popcorn.</div>7Carters!E,H,V,B,R,C,Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17854319630910648780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554029671304366607.post-53938248043787960862008-02-23T19:48:00.000-08:002008-02-28T19:52:51.603-08:00Babe: Pig in the City<a href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b9/Babe_pig_in_the_city.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b9/Babe_pig_in_the_city.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>Plot Summary:</strong> Babe, fresh from his victory in the sheepherding contest, returns to Farmer Hoggett's farm, but after Farmer Hoggett is injured and unable to work, Babe has to go to the big city to save the farm.<br /><div></div><br /><div><strong>Carter Review:</strong> This is a sequel that is better than the first movie. And that doesn't happen very often. The characters in this movie are outlandish and marvelous. Thelonius is an oranga-thingy...that's all I need to say. And, I love the climax, especially all of the beautiful ball gowns. Plus it is SO FUN to try and decide what "city" Babe is in. Basically, come borrow Babe and Babe:Pig in the City from us as soon as you can.</div>7Carters!E,H,V,B,R,C,Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17854319630910648780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554029671304366607.post-63671321803156814792008-02-23T19:42:00.000-08:002008-02-28T19:47:37.361-08:00Babe<a href="http://img.tesco.com/pi/entertainment/DVD/LF/478825_DV_L_F.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://img.tesco.com/pi/entertainment/DVD/LF/478825_DV_L_F.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>Plot Summary:</strong> Farmer <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Hoggett</span> wins a runt piglet at a local fair and young Babe, as the piglet decides to call himself, befriends and learns about all the other creatures on the farm.

Definitely got some good quotes: "You do know that she was made of straw, don't you." "Ah yes sir, I figure that's why she burned so easy." Or, "I don't know what's worse, the bear or my itchy nose....The bear is worse, the bear is definitely worse" (said screaming as he's being dragged off by a bear). I believe this was Chris Farley's last leading role and his face when trying to get an eagle's egg is classic. That alone is worth the trip. But be cautious of a bathing scene with bare backsides.</div>7Carters!E,H,V,B,R,C,Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17854319630910648780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554029671304366607.post-76985797793353468532008-02-23T19:31:00.000-08:002008-02-28T19:39:32.250-08:00Aladdin: The Return of Jafar<a href="http://www.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/7/MPW-3832"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.movieposter.com/posters/archive/main/7/MPW-3832" border="0" /></a><strong>Plot Summary: </strong>Aladdin is adjusting to his new life as part of the upper crust. He and Princess Jasmine may not be married yet, but the pressures of palace society have already begun. On top of that, Iago (the parrot pet of Sultan's ex-vizir turned genie, Jafar) appears asking for help and no one is happy to see him. But things begin to look up when Genie returns from his trip around the world. Meanwhile, Jafar's black lamp is discovered by an idiot crook called Abis Mal. By using Abis Mal, Jafar makes his way back to Agrabah with ideas of payback for Aladdin and his friends. <div><br /><div><strong>Carter Review:</strong> This does not have the original voice cast...and that makes all the difference. BUT, I still really like the dorky little bad guy, Abis Mal. The movie misses Robin Williams, but I still really enjoy the story, and the end is pretty suspenseful!</div></div>7Carters!E,H,V,B,R,C,Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17854319630910648780noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554029671304366607.post-12963024922405227772008-02-23T19:23:00.000-08:002008-03-30T17:04:33.565-07:00Adam Sandler SNL<a href="http://www.laffstock.com/images/as.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.laffstock.com/images/as.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong>Plot Summary:</strong> Before he was Happy Gilmore, Little Nicky, The Waterboy, or Billy Madison, Adam Sandler was doing Saturday Night Live playing hilarious characters and singing hilarious songs like the Hanukkah song and Christmas song.

Adam was probably my favorite too.

I'm not convinced yet that it was a <em>great</em> movie, though. I had really high expectations coming into it since we loved the first one. My review on it may change after a second viewing, because I definitely didn't catch everything the first time through. I felt that the focus was centered more on the action in this one. I didn't feel the need for them to find what they were looking for. Kind of lacking in development. But still very fun and enjoyable.

I felt that it had great action and suspense that was pretty scary at times, but didn't leave you with a gross, horror feeling. Will Smith is amazing and he carries this film all the way, as the only "human" amongst zombie-like monsters. He's funny, tough, smart, cool and even dramatic. It's not a perfect movie by any means, but it's pretty good. There's also a good theme of faith, that comes out at the end, but is also interlaced in early parts of the movie.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Likelyhood of Buying:</strong> We'll see how much my wife really loves me...(though she loves me a lot, so we'll probably own this one day).7Carters!E,H,V,B,R,C,Ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17854319630910648780noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554029671304366607.post-22452535346667199662008-02-23T12:18:00.000-08:002008-02-25T16:18:49.996-08:00Aladdin<a href="http://media.movieweb.com/dvd_art/med/30/9730.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 190px; CURSOR: hand" height="268" alt="" src="http://media.movieweb.com/dvd_art/med/30/9730.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.comingsoon.net/nextraimages/aladdin-dvd.jpg"></a><br /><div><strong>Plot Summary:</strong> Aladdin, a street rat, is the only person who can enter the cave of wonders and retrieve a magical lamp for the dark Vizier Jafar.
