nostlagia update

well, we tried James out with the previously mentioned The Land Before Time, and he did seem to be enjoying it. however, it struck Michele and I as being rather more violent that we remembered, and certainly more openly violent than Jurassic Park and of course the numerous animated or Disney Dinosaur films. oh well, they are now put away for the time being. he can watch them in a couple of years time, or Mama and Dada will watch them when they are older and get all nostalgic!!

as for a review of a brief trip into the past, well, it is always ace to see Keith Barron (he of the TV show Duty Free) running around on screen, all the better if it is running in the direction of and then well away from dinosaurs. The dinosaurs themselves are, well, ahem, probably as good as they could have been with very little money to spend and technical constraints. they at least do a good job of hiding all the wires!!

i am sure i will sit down and watch this in the not too distant future, actually. there are many things in it that are now "cheesy" or easy to poke fun at, but they did the best they could and tried to make a decent adventure film. what's wrong with that??
