"They're creepy and they're kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They're altoghether ooky
the Addmas Family!"

(Very) Early 90s live action take on the Addams Family with Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston impeccably cast as Gomez and Morticia Addams, alongside an equally impeccably cast Christopher Lloyd as Fester Addams.

The plot? Fester Addams has been missing, presumed dead, for decades until a man arrives at their house claiming to be the same, but with no memory of his childhood.

No, this is NOT the one where Wednesday Addams learns to smile (that would be the superior sequel: The Addams Family Values), but this is still an enjoyable enough diversion.

David McK (3832 KP) rated Disney's Snow White (2025) (2025) in Movies

Jun 29, 2025 (Updated Jun 29, 2025)

The latest of Disney animation to get the live-action treatment, this ids - obviously - a retelling/reimagining of Walt Disney's first ever animated film, with Rachel Zegler in the lead role and with ex Wonder-Woman Gal Gadot as the evil queen.

And I think Disney were in a no-win situation right from the off, with complaints made about not using those with Dwarfism to play the role of the 7 dwarves, alongside complaints made that said films (and the original) were downplaying their lived-in experience.

Or so I heard, anyway.

I have to say, though ,that the CGI dwarves do stand out like a sore thumb ...

Clue.

Or, as it's known here in the UK, Cluedo.

The murder mystery board-game.

That's the starting point for this movie, which - basically - is a live action version of said game, leaving the audience guessing along trying to discover who committed the murder at a dinner party being hosted at a mansion, where - it tranpsires - all the guests (all going by aliases ie Mrs Peacocke, Miss Scarlette, Professor Plum etc) were being blackmailed.

Apparently released with 3 endings at the time, with each cinema only showing a single ending but now (on TV/home release) with all 3 endings shown one after the other.
