CLASSICS FOR KIDS: “Star Wars, Episode V:The Empire Strikes Back” (1980)

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 00:00

[NOTE: This is a review by Republiboy, age 11, who’d never seen Empire Strikes Back before, and didn’t like Star Wars at all. Just for point of reference, his favorite SF movie of all time is "Babylon 5: A Call To Arms."]

I thought this movie was far better than the previous one. I liked C3PO a lot less, however, and Chewie was a lot less entertaining. I enjoyed the sequence on Hoth, I personally feel that was the best part. I really didn’t like any of the things that happened on Deggobah, and Yoda was rather annoying. But I must say, I really enjoyed the movie as a whole.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON B-MOVIE CRAPFEST: “Village of the Giants” (1965)

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Sat, 07/17/2010 - 00:00

Back when I was but a wee bairn, this movie played on our local UHF channel every month or two. I was always fascinated with it, as only a five or six year old can be. Then we moved away, and I never saw it again until this week.

OUTSIDE OUR COMFORT RANGE: “Toy Story 3” (No Spoilers)

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Sun, 06/20/2010 - 17:01

At root, the Toy Story movies have always been about identity. The first one is about how you deal with life when you realize you’re not as important as you thought you were: Woodie is no longer Andy’s favorite toy; Buzz isn’t *really* an Astronaut Ranger. The second one is all about how you deal with life when you realize you’re *more* important than you thought you were. This one is all about becoming more than the sum of your parts, transcending your origins and your experiences, and becoming something quietly grand, and about the consequences of *not* being able to do so.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON B-MOVIE CRAPFEST: “The Day The Sky Exploded” (1958)

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Sat, 04/24/2010 - 00:00

I was just thinking the other day how I’m kinda’ tired of American B-movie SF. I mean, I enjoy it, don’t get me wrong, but occasionally you just need a little variety, you know? A different perspective? A bracing little bit of spice, just to season my steady diet of Steak and ‘Taters.

SATURDAY AFTERNOON B-MOVIE CRAPFEST: “G.I. Joe: The Movie” (1987)

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Sat, 04/17/2010 - 00:00

Can a cartoon be a B-Movie? Unquestionably, as anyone who’s ever seen “Fantastic Planet” can attest to.

CLASSICS FOR KIDS: “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope” (1977)

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Thu, 03/25/2010 - 01:00

Ok, sure, so we all know the classics, the movies that grabbed us when we were young, but it's hard for us to think about them objectively, to recognize that they may have a different effect on the youth of today than they may have back in our day. To that end, this is the first in a series of genre classics to be reviewed by Republiboy (Age 11):
