Under the Bed (1988)

Great monster comedy for kids

[26 August 2004]

I just remember loving this film. It was about a kid who kicked all the rubbish she had under her bed, dirty plates, broken toys, clothes. One day it turns into a monster and eventually poses a threat to the girl and her brother. Very funny and quite creepy to an eight year old. Would love to see it again.

(spoiler)

I especially loved when the girl was dragged under the bed by the monster, the nosey next door neighbour runs to tell their mother who says that she always promised she would never ignore the rantings of some crazy old lady who said a monster had her kids, like they do in most movies.

Sugary rubbish. I am someone who will cry at an andrex advert, never mind the end of E.T. but this film, regardless of Haley Joel Osment's great acting, was just plain daft. It seemed to drag on in many places and had an overly drawn out ending. It was one of those films that left you asking "but why did he....?"

First Men in the Moon (1964)

I watched this film for the first time recently and as a 22 year old brought up with E.T. and Star Wars I have to say I was still impressed and thoroughly enjoyed the whole film. The effects are great, the story is well adapted to fit on to your screen and is believe it or not, thought provoking. I would recommend this film to anyone of any age and especially those who enjoyed the original Time Machine and Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Great fun.
