I used to have issue with the original 1990 film adaptation, but compared to this it was as faithful as heck! My main issue with the 90s version is that they turned the boy back into a human at the end. This version did not do this, but they failed to realise why Dahl had him stay a mouse. The poor man will be cartwheeling in his grave! So many great artists were involved in the making of this abomination, both in front and behind the camera, it boggles the mind as to why it turned out to bad!

Movie Favorite

"It’s my favorite documentary, and that’s just because of its characters. It’s about two ‘90s indie bands, the Brian Jonestown Massacre (the lead singer Anton is a truly wild crazy guy, completely out of control) and the more successful Dandy Warhols. They envy each other and end up having this super Shakespearian love affair/friendship/rivalry. It’s an example of how great storytelling can get you unbelievably engaged, whether you have any connection to the world of the film or not. If it’s human, it’s human. For me, this film is as important among docs as Goodfellas (1990) is among narrative features."

Early 90s (1990?) effort by the Austrian Oak to soften his tough guy image, playing the role of a tough cop who has to go undercover in a nursery school to track down and protect the former wife of a drug dealer.

And, of course, 'hilarity' ensues.

Or, at least, what the screenwriters thought would be hilarious, as Arnie finds himself struggling to cope with a class of 5(?) year old while also starting to fall for one of his colleagues.

Actually, to be fair, it's not all bad: it is enjoyable enough, just not laugh out loud funny.

Buddy-cop movie from the late 90s that (I believe) had the tagline "The Fastest Feet in the east meets the Fastest mouth in the West" at the time of release, and which see's Jackie Chan's Hong Kong cop (the former) travelling to America where he - initially unwillingly - teams up with Christ Tucker (the latter) LAPD cop to investigate the kidnapping of the Chinese consulate's 11 year old daughter,

Marrying Jackie Chan's particular breed of fast-footwork slapstick with Chris Tucker's fast mouth, this is pretty much what you'd expect from a film in this genre!

"Get off my plane!"
Mid to late 90s film, that is - essentially (and I hate to use this phrase, but it describes it oh so well) 'Die Hard on a Plane'; this is the one with Indiana Jones as the prez of the United States who has his plane hijacked by Russian extremists (led by Gary Oldman) on his way back home from Moscow following a Presidential visit and a hard-line "we will not negotiate with terrorists" speech given by himself - it's hard to imagine now, in 2024, that relations were ever that good between the two countries!
