The King and I (1999)
Don't waste your valuable money!!!
Believe me. This film is one of the worst. You won't like it. Your kids won't like it. No one will ever like it.
The animation is shoddy, cheap and resembles that of a 70's Saturday morning show. The voice actors are terrible, the kid who Louis tries to put on an English accent, but fails terribly. Anna and the King is annoying too.
The movie starts when they are on the way to Siam, the the Kralahome is now an evil sorcerer with magic powers for evil and conjures up a serpent. The serpent isn't even scary, the animation ruins it. They also jump into song with stupid hand movements. They all whistle and the serpent is gone. Wow, I was drowsy by this time. Master Little is also an annoying, dental crazed thing that tries to be funny but just plainly doesn't.
They all arrive, the only good bit is when they show you the actually good castles. You see the king, with his friendly panther. Who is also plastically played and hardly has so personality.
Then is introduces the love between Tuptim and Prince Chululongkorn, which is all wrong!!! It tries to give a forbidden love feel to it, but all it gives is a teenage crush feel.
Don't get me started on those annoying animals! A monkey, panther and elephant. The monkey is terrible, you almost want to ring it's neck, the panther is the sly tame panther ( *cough*JungleBook*cough*) and that elephant Tusker, grr!!!
Then it goes through, I want my house faze. Which is really boring, throw in a few cheesy songs and thats really it. There is no real climax in this. Oh yeah, and a huge moody from Anna to the king.
Tuptim is thrown into a huge river to await her death, unfortunately the king has to save her. The balloon starts to burn and Prince Chululongkorn and Tuptim jump in the water. Why didn't the king, he just sat there inhaling toxic gases.
The balloon goes down and here comes the main character death, but then comes back to life part. Haven't we had enough!!! Everyone is happy and Anna gets her own house (surprise surprise). The Kralahome is captured and sentenced to poop scooping.
Overall, terrible film. Don't go near it, if you have to watch it, watch it on TV don't waste your money renting it or buying it. I give this 0/10.
AC/DC: Live at Donington (1992)
You can't get better than this!
When you saw the huge crowd, screaming down below the stage, you knew this was gonna be a good show! They rocked long and hard, getting better all the time. AC/DC are the best, but this is showing them in their true colours. A great DVD to get and the tracks on the CD are even better. Just get this, you'll be impressed and rocked.
Even though I had to watch this with only half the volume up, it was one of the best live concerts on DVD I've ever seen, apart from Placebo in Paris of course,.
I definitely recommend to any AC/DC fan or any lover of heavy metal music, I will give this *****/*****
