Zero to Hero. Or Hero to Zero?

Mid-to-late 90's (1997) Disney's take on the tale of the Greek demigod Heracles (aka Hercules), that takes more than a few liberties with those tales to put their own spin on it: here Hercules himself, for instance, does not suffer from the enmity of Hera, nor does he have the 12 labours to complete (although those are referenced).

The main 'big draw voice' in this is Danny DeVito as Hercules tutor Philoctetes, with Yate Donavan as Hercules himself and James Woods as the villain of the piece, Hades.

It also has very 'angular' and vibrant animation (to represent strength) which I find somewhat offputting, while none of the songs are really that memorable IMO.

406. Parasite. We meet Kim Ki-woo, as he's getting recruited to help tutor a high school girl in English, of course all his past experience is a lie, but he's good at the job at hand so why not go for it! And once he's in the door, he manages to weasel the rest of his family jobs within the same household. It's not that they are bad at the jobs, they just stole them from others. For instance, when Kim Ki-woo gets mom, Moon-gwang the maid job. However the former maid has a secret and when she shows up a few days later on the front steps, this could be the end for the family! Movie really makes you feel uncomfortable, and for me I just wanted something really bad to happen. :) Filmbufftim on FB
