The Swiss Family Robinson (Flack’s Review)

flickflack — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 18:46:48 +0000

Based on the book by Johann Wyss this movie is about a family who is shipwrecked on a desert island. To survive they eat animals, defend themselves from animals, build a tree house, find a grotto (a big cave) that they live in during the winter and much more. A girls comes and lives with them who the older boys fall in love with. Together the family must fight against pirates attacking the island.

The movie had most of the parts that are in the book but the movie adds the pirates. I liked this addition. The movie is much funnier and less serious than the book but they are both good. I recommend you read the book first.

My favorite character is Fritz because I like what he builds in the tree house and I like when he fights the pirates.

My favorite part is when they fight the pirates because it’s funny and action-packed.

MPAA Rating: G. My rating is PG for action violence, romance and brief mild language.

I rate this movie 4.9 movie reels. Too much romance!!!

Shrek 2: (Flick’s Review)

flickflack — Tue, 25 May 2010 12:15:18 +0000

Shrek is back! This time he’s getting married to Fiona. Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona go to Far Far Away to get the blessing of the King and Queen. The new bad guys are The Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming who was supposed to rescue Fiona from the Dragon. Shrek 2 is my favorite of the Shrek franchise because I like meeting all the new characters including Puss in Boots who teams up with Shrek and Donkey to battle Prince Charming and the Fairy godmother (other characters that did not appear in Shrek 1). My favorite character is Shrek ( Mike Miyers) because he always saves the day. My favorite part is when Shrek, Donkey, and Puss go into the potion factory/Fairy Godmother’s lair. I rate the movie PG for action, rude humor, and mild langauge.

MPAA: Rated PG for some crude humor, a brief substance reference and some suggestive content.

Around the world in 80 days (Flack’s Review)

flickflack — Sat, 22 May 2010 15:18:55 +0000

Rating: 4.5

This movie is about the Englishman Phileas Fogg who bets 20,000 pounds he can travel around the world in 80 days. While Phileas Fogg travels around the world with his servant Passepatout they rescue the princess Aouda. But after being attacked by Indians, encountering a broken railroad, and meeting an evil detective it is uncertain if they will make it around the world in 80 days!

My favorite part is when Phileas Fogg and Passepatout get attacked by Indians in New York because I like the action, suspense, and music during this scene.

My favorite character is Passapatout. He is funny in the circus when he holds the clowns who are balancing but lets go and they all fall down.

I rate it PG for a scene of violence, romance and some adult themes.

The MPAA rating is G.
