This is a cracking action fantasy tale with Patrick Wayne as our hero out to restore his friend the Caliph to human form after the evil sorceress "Zenobia" (Margaret Whiting) turned him into an ape. Sam Wanamaker treats the audience as more grown up than in many of these stop-motion animation films; the monsters seem to have bit more "soul" - particularly the cyclops; and Patrick Troughton as "Melanthius" is more of a telepathic scientist than possessor of mystic powers. Ray Harryhausen is in his element and we have plenty of fun with a cast also featuring Jane Seymour and Taryn Power. It doesn't need your brain to get out of second gear, but is a very creatively put together adventure film with loads going on.

Hot Shots!1991-07-31The gang that created Airplane and The Naked Gun sets its sights on Top Gun in this often hilarious spoof starring Charlie Sheen, who previously only inspired laughs with his personal life. He plays Topper Harley, a fighter pilot with an axe to grind: clearing the family name. He gets involved in a relationship with Valerie Golino, a woman with an unusually talented stomach. But his mission is to avenge his father. Lloyd Bridges, late in his career, revealed an aptitude for this kind of silliness, here as a commander who is both incredibly dim and delightfully accident prone. Directed by Jim Abrahams, the film makes fun of a variety of other films as well, from Dances with Wolves to The Fabulous Baker Boys. It was so successful that they all returned in the sequel, Hot Shots! Part Deux.More...
