Lightning Jack (1994)
Paul Hogan has made some shockers...
This was possibly THE WORST film I have ever seen.
Lightning Jack was the first film that I have been tempted to walk out of... and I work at a cinema, so I was only wasting time - not money.
Unfortunately my companion and I were convinced that there must be at least one funny scene in the movie, so we stayed until the very end, only to be disappointed. Paul Hogan has made some shockers in his time, but this one takes the cake!
Take my advice and AVOID THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS!!!
The Emperor's New Groove (2000)
If you loved Aladdin then this is a must-see!
Hilarious!!!
This film was made as much for adults as it was for kids. With heaps of crude jokes and hilarious site-gags, without the usual sappy songs that accompany a Disney cartoon, The Emperor's New Groove immediately became one of my favourite "kids" films.
While the animated style leads you to believe that this is a children's movie, your reasoning is quickly corrected with the initial introduction to the self-obsessed Emperor. It is Kronk, however, the idiotic assistant to the evil Yzma who steals the show with his spinach-puffs, theme song and chats with squeaky the squirrel.
If you loved Aladdin then this a must-see!
Moulin Rouge! (2001)
Flashy, but ultimately lacking heart
Moulin Rouge is VERY obviously a Baz Luhrmann film. With all the trademarks of his previous ventures it begins with the promise of greatness. Unfortunately there is something lacking and I can only surmise that it is heart. There are some fantastic moments in this film and the actors are all perfectly cast and beautifully portrayed, however, in hind-sight there is nothing new in the movie which would warrant a return viewing. I also thought there were a few opportunities missed, which may have made the film more enjoyable, albeit more predictable. Moulin Rouge was an interesting attempt from a director who has so much more to offer. Maybe a smaller budget and less hype will allow him to experiment once again and hopefully next time hit the mark. See it once, but I doubt you will see it again.
