Chicken Run (2000)

Chicken Run is stuffed so full of jokes you’ll be laughing non-stop. It doesn't matter if you're young or old. Actually, parents (or non-parent adults) are likely to enjoy this film even more than children. Only they will truly appreciate the clever wordplays and sight gags found in this stop-motion animated film from the team that brought us Wallace and Gromit.

Sensing that their time in the chicken coop is coming to an end, Ginger (Julia Sawalha) has been continuously attempting to find an escape route for her and her fellow hens. Hope comes in the form of Rocky Rhodes (Mel Gibson) a laid-back smooth-talking rooster that crash-lands and offers to teach the chickens to fly.

The impeccable comedic timing, wildly hilarious antics and slapstick humor will delight children, but young viewers are unlikely to appreciate the high-quality voice acting. Mel Gibson is perfect in his role. In fact, several jokes have been written specifically with him in mind. There’s plenty to make you chuckle in the form of posters on the walls, actions by the background characters and a great use of props. All of those would’ve been more than enough, but that extra touch of looking at the cast and asking “now that we have these extra ingredients, what other side dish can I make to compliment what we already have?” is what makes this a great film. I see that extra effort you made at the screenplay level, Karey Kirkpatrick. I appreciate it.

The pun-filled dialogue is a treat for the ears. We're not talking groaners that will have you slapping yourself, but delightful plays on words. Every opportunity to sneak in more humor has been taken, whether it’s using human-sized objects as something completely different for the miniature chicken society, or taking advantage of the side characters’ quirks to expand on this bizarre world where chickens have teeth and the humans don’t notice. Speaking of which, Mrs. Tweedy (Miranda Richardson) and her moronic husband (Tony Haygarth) are great villains you love to hate and see get their comeuppance.

It almost goes without saying when discussing Aardman’s productions, but it's worth repeating: Chicken Run is a great-looking film. The distinct character designs combined with the meticulous stop motion animation make every frame desktop wallpaper-worthy. The visuals are so exciting they're likely to distract you from the puns or sly jokes that get tossed into the mix, giving this film great rewatch value. Maybe the second time around you’ll notice the spot-on The Great Escape parody scenes.

You’ll be laughing consistently and right up to the end of Chicken Run (quite literally, there are some gags during the end credits). If there’s a flaw to single out, it’s that you can sort of see where it’s headed fairly easily. You’ll be having such a good time you won’t mind and the film still contains plenty of surprises for you. You can’t go wrong with Chicken Run as a feature to watch by yourself or with the whole family. (On DVD, February 2, 2018)

Renfield meanwhile is 59 and is cast as wayyy younger

I didn't check Renfield, hang on:

Dracula (1931) - Dwight Frye, 32

Horror of Dracula (1958) - none

Dracula (1974) - none

Count Dracula (1977) - Jack Shepherd, 37

Dracula (1979) - Tony Haygarth, 34

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) - Tom Waits, 44

Dracula (2020) - Mark Gatiss, 54

So an average age of 40. And it surprises me to be praising the 2020 adaptation for accuracy!

I do think the way that adaptations tend to bunch the ages together - the younger characters are older, Renfield and to a lesser extent Van Helsing are younger - means the story loses something. Maybe it's not that big a deal, but I like the way it's a story of two distinct generations.

James Mason REview:Ivanhoe

So I was in the mood to watch the work of actor James Mason and decided to check out one of his later works Ivanhoe

In this 1982 TV movie King Richard (Julian Glover ) has returned from the CRusades and has teamed up with Robin Hood (DAvid Robb ) to take on three knights who work for Prince John(Ronald Pickup):Sir Reginald Front-de-Boeuf (John Rhyse Davies) who wants to extort Isaac of York (James Mason ),Sir Maurice de Bracy(STuart Wilson ) who wishes to marry Lady Rowena (Lysette Anthony ) and Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert (Sam Niel ) who is in mad lust for ISaacs daughter REbecca(Olivia Hussey )....Oh and there is a guy named Ivanhowe(Anthony Andrews),hes there too

SO I very much enjoy this movie despite it having a big flaw ....IN THAT IVANHOWE IS THE LEAST INTERESTIN?G PART .Oh Anthony Andrews plays him well,and he connects all these threads...He just isnt given enough focus .He is out of commission for most of the movie and honestly....I dont care about his story ,which is about him reconnecting with his father (Played by Michael Hordern )...PArtially cause the father is such a dick I dont care about him either ,cause the movie doesnt care either.The film is far more focused on the stuff around Ivanhowe that he feels like an after thought

That said I do like the movie.....Because the rest of it is so damn good .The action is solid from the jousting scenes to an assault on the villains castle by Richard and Robin Hood to a very eintense sword fight between Ivanhoe and Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert.I also like that the film really focuses on prejudice ,both the feud of the Normans and Saxxons but especially the hatred Isaac and REbecca face for being Jewish

The cast is alll superb (I mean Sam Niel,Stuart Wilson and John Rhyse Davies are the villains how can I not love that),Both George Innes and Tony Haygarth bring levity as Wamba the Fool and Friar Tuck rspectfully ,Michael Hordern is appropriatly pigheaded as Cedric , Wilson and Davies are sinister ,Phillip Locke is scene stealingly evil as the leader of the Knights Templar ,ROnald Pickup is slimey and David Robb is a solid Robin Hood (He also gets the funniest line )

The best performances however go to Julian Glover,James Mason ,Olivia Hussey ,and Sam Niel .Lets Start with Niel who is a solid villain :Arrogant ,obsessive ,creepy and yet there are levels to it ,fighting genuine guilt for his actions .Julian Glover is an actor I associate with bad guys so its fun to see him as a noble king .Olivia Hussey is great as REbecca,on par with Elizabeth Taylors performance in the 1952 film.I think the scene stealer of the movie is James Mason ,Mason while associated with lets say darker parts,had great versitility and when he had the chance could make a very sympathetic characters cause he can make the audience feel his pain

Ovewralll its a fun movie,and I think its on par with the 1952 film

Maggie Smith and Michael Palin in A Private Function (Malcolm Mowbray, 1984)

Cast: Michael Palin, Maggie Smith, Denholm Elliott, Richard Griffiths, Tony Haygarth, John Northington, Bill Paterson, Liz Smith, Alison Steadman, Jim Carter, Pete Postlethwaite. Screenplay: Alan Bennett, Malcolm Mowbray. Cinematography: Tony Pierce-Roberts. Production design: Stuart Walker. Film editing: Barrie Vince. Music: John Du Prez. 

A Private Function begins with Joyce Chilvers (Maggie Smith) and her mother (Liz Smith) entering a darkened movie theater where a newsreel is playing. We watch the newsreel, about meat rationing in postwar Britain, as the two women make their way to their seats, with Joyce scolding her mum for not finding a seat of her own. Then the lights come up and the theater organ rises from the pit. Joyce is playing the organ with her mother awkwardly sharing the bench with her. It's a nifty way to introduce not only two of the movie's key characters but also the era in which the film is set and the core of the plot. The newsreel also includes footage of the preparations for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Sir Philip Mountbatten, so we know that we're in November of 1947. The setting is a town in Northern England where the local dignitaries, led by the irascible, snobbish Dr. Swaby (Denholm Elliott, are preparing for a private function, a banquet, to celebrate the marriage of the future queen and prince consort. But how do you put on a banquet when everything, especially meat, is strictly rationed, and a diligent civil servant named Wormold (Bill Paterson) is enforcing the consumption laws with an iron hand? The banquet planners have found a way: They're raising an illegal pig. Eventually, Joyce and her meek chiropodist husband, Gilbert (Michael Palin), will get involved, especially after the would-be social climbing Joyce is not only frustrated by her inability to get around the rationing laws, but is also piqued by not being invited to the banquet. The only solution, it seems, is for Gilbert to commit pignapping and to hide the purloined swine in their home. The rest is farce in the manner of the British comedies made in the late 1940s and early 1950s, e.g., Kind Hearts and Coronets (Robert Hamer, 1949), The Lavender Hill Mob (Charles Crichton, 1951), and The Ladykillers (Alexander Mackendrick, 1955). It's raunchier and a good deal more scatalogical than those classic films, and it's sometimes edited a little choppily -- there are jump cuts where none are needed -- but it earns the comparison on the strength of fine comic performances by Maggie Smith, Palin, Elliott, and especially Liz Smith as the endearingly dotty Mother. ("She's 74," Joyce often interjects to excuse, explain, and even praise her parent's behavior.)

On my blog?!? That's right folks‚ I've crossed that unholy line and I'm watching something that is neither new TV nor #Classic. Actually I've always found it pretty hard to define when 'classic tv' refers to; presumably it begins in the early 50s with the #Dawn of independent television and if we're being specific perhaps with Nigel Kneale and The Quatermass Experiment. But when does it end? #There are shows that straddle what I would think of as modern and classic. Inspector Morse was definitely classic tv: it has the aesthetic #As well as sharing a lot of production similarities and cast and crew with earlier‚ more easily established classic TV. Close #Cracker‚ a near contemporary‚ is definitely New TV: modern feel‚ look‚ editing. And A Touch of Frost‚ which came between them #Feels like it had its feet in both worlds. A conundrum. What am I even talking about? Oh yes! I suppose I hoped with this series that i #Might discover a last gasp of the classic TV anthology series. Alas no‚ despite the involvement of the great Lawrence Gordon Clark (he of #The ghost stories for Xmas) this is very firmly modern tv: very slick and polished‚ glazed film looks and yoof approach. Not to mention #That very nifty (and dare I say‚ unnecessarily creepy) title sequence. Look away if easily spooked. The ep itself is very good tho and #Tho it looks flashy is really quite a traditional spooker. Ward is wonderful as always tho must endure an entirely superfluous nude scene #Haygarth is a very welcome presence‚ lending a mature and grounding feel to a pretty hoary old tale of premonition and death.

Chicken Run (2000):

“ When a cockerel apparently flies into a chicken farm, the chickens see him as an opportunity to escape their evil owners (IMDb Description). “

Here’s another favorite movie of mine. I’ve used to watch it a lot, as a kid. As a kid, this movie was very bittersweet. I liked it a lot, but at the same time I would always be kinda anxious about it. This may be a very color and fun animated movie, but it also has a dark and twisted concept. The human characters in this movie are so creepy. The whole movie is how these chickens see their lifes, and it’s frightening, As a kid, the dark vibe was a turn off. As an adult, it’s a big yes. This is such a brilliant movie. The comedy is on point, the dark parts are legit spooky and the characters are so likable...except Mrs. Tweedy. She’s a rude an evil woman. Another thing that I adore about this movie is the accents. I’m a sucker for British accents. Overall, a fantastic animated movie.

PS: for some reason, this movie is getting a sequel (if rumors are correct) and...I am not a fan of that idea. A lot of movies that I adore ended up getting a sequel, and they tend to be a waste of time.
