Not Without My Daughter (1991)
Glad I finally watched this classic
Finally watched it last week after reading an article referencing it. Sally Field and the rest of the cast were excellent as was the script and dialogue. The movie is fast paced and although it is long, I didn't once find myself looking at the time. The only part I couldn't work out was whether the teachers in the school were sympathetic to her or not - would love it if someone could tell me their thoughts on this! I found this story so engaging that I then searched for more information about Betty's story, interviews etc. The movie is quite violent (women being beaten) in parts so I would not recommend this being viewed anywhere that children could walk in This movie has really stood the test of time.
Dinosaur Island (2014)
A real stinker!
I live in Spain and bought this movie from Amazon UK for my eight year old. I'm really annoyed at the fake positive spin surrounding this movie. I watched about half of it with my daughter and had to turn it off because it was such rubbish. This is NOT Jurassic Park where the animation even some 20 years ago was brilliant! The dinosaurs looked like giant muppet canaries and floated along with no weight. The actors looked like they were in front of a blue screen staring un-focused at imagined objects - I've seen better acting in school plays. All of that aside, the director simply failed to get us to care about the characters, so I turned it off with simply no interest in how it ended. Don't waste your time and money on this film. (Is there a way to rate this movie less than 1?!)
