The Little Vampire (2000)
A movie young kids will fall in love with....a funny tale portraying that vampires are your friends
The Little Vampire is a cute family movie that kids will want to watch again and again. The story is about 8yr old Tony who has moved into a new house, new neighborhood, and a new country all together. He has nightmares every night about vampires and a magic amulet that the vampires loose. Tony believes his dreams are true and has trouble making friends because of his obsession. One night, while his parents are at a business party, a little 9yr old vampire named Rudolph spots Tony with fake fangs in his mouth. He flys in, hoping that Tony will protect him from a vampire hunter, only to find out that Tony isn't a vampire at all! Tony then finds out that his dreams are real and decides to help his friend look for the amulet...
Although this movie is too "cute" for teens and "boring" for adults, The Little Vampire will put a smile on kids from the age 5-11. Stewart Little kid Jonathan Lipnicki adds the perfect touch to any kids movie, while Rollo Weeks (The Thief Lord) gets his start before making many more movies within the years that have past. I was flicking through the channels when i saw it on "abc family"'s 13 nights of Halloween. It was very cute and clever, even though it took me a few minutes to clue in since i only started watching it when Rudolph is in the fireplace after being a bat. The Little Vampire is a great movie the whole family can enjoy!
The Thief Lord (2006)
The Thief Lord...10 out of 10
the movie 'The Thief Lord" was an exciting tale of two boys, Prosper and Bo, who are orphans. their aunt decides to take in Bo and sends Prosper to and orphanage. the two try to stay together and go to their mothers favorite place, Venice. while there, they happen upon a teenage boy, Scipio, who calls himself the thief lord. he takes care of Prosper, Bo,and his friends Hornet, Riccio, and Mosca. Life is good for the little thieves until they are chased by a detective, Victor. as they all help each other, the magic of the city unfolds and secrets become revealed. a "spinning" twist turns this story into a delightful adventure.
i loved this movie and was quite pleased when it followed the books plot. those of you who feel in love with the characters can fall in love with them all over again. a few scenes from the book are missing, but over all it is one of Funke's masterpieces. actually i read the book before i found out it was a movie and immediately feel in love with it! although my friends refuse to watch it (i am completely obsessed) my family found it rather enjoyable and a good movie. i think that its a shame that it didn't get a lot of publicity, but even without it anyone who watches The Thief Lord is bound to love it!!!!
