Let me remind you why you once feared the dark
Guillermo Del Toro has become the new master of dark fantasy — first with the quirky clockpunk “Hellboy,” then with the Oscar-winning “Pan’s Labyrinth.” Not to mention forthcoming travels to Middle-Earth.
So you know he has the skills to pit Mike Mignola’s scarlet anti-hero against an army of fairies and elves, and not make it silly. Instead, it’s a spectacular dark fantasy full of humor, action, quirky appeal, romance, and some truly astounding special effects. But what really shoves this movie over the top is Del Toro’s brilliant direction, and the stunning performance by Ron Perlman.
Decades ago, Professor Broom (William Hurt) told a small Hellboy a yuletide bedtime story about the Elf King Balor and his unstoppable Golden Army, and how the crown that controls the Army was split into thirds and divided among fairies and humans.
Well, you can’t really expect that kind of power to never be revived.
Cut to current day. Hellboy (Perlman), Liz (Selma Blair) and Abe (Doug Jones) investigate a strange supernatural attack on an auction house, where the archeological curiosity known as the Crown of Bethmoora was being sold — only to be attacked by savage tooth fairies. Turns out the crown was stolen by Prince Nuada (Luke Goss), a resentful young elf who is determined to take the world back from humanity — using, of course, the Golden Army.
And while Hellboy chafes against strict new commander Johann Krauss (a suit filled with ectoplasm), Abe encounters Nuada’s sister, Princess Nuala — who also happens to have the last third of the crown. But Nuada will not allow anyone to oppose him as he searches for the Golden Army’s location, and Hellboy and his friends must venture into a strange, ancient kingdom to stop him from destroying all of humanity.
The worst you can say about “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” is that it sticks to the formula of the demonic outsider with a dark destiny, and his continuing romantic woes. There’s some retreading as Hellboy realizes anew that he’ll never fit into the world of humans, because he’s big and red and has horns and a tail. Okay, we got it. Next big psychological issue!
Fortunately those flaws are relatively minor ones. Del Toro is still able to spin a dark, twisted story with some truly bizarre creatures (the utterly alien, eye-winged Angel of Death), clockpunk robots, trippy underground goblin markets and a new BPRD agent who is basically ectoplasm in a suit. And for the action scenes, Del Toro does not pull punches when it comes to the smashing action scenes — giant thrashing vines and a one-on-one duel with Nuada are among the highlights.
With all this going on, it would be easy to neglect the characters. But Del Toro packs the script with solid snappy dialogue and some poignantly romantic moments — including some pretty startling actions from dear ol’ Abe. And he also adds little moments to this epic story that remind us that these are supposed to be people — such as Hellboy’s bickering with Krauss, or Abe and Hellboy getting drunk and having a little Manilow singalong together. It’s just so cute.
But what really sets this movie apart is the “children of the Earth.” No flitting Victorian sprites — these are creatures that are weird, grotesque, dangerous and immensely powerful, from nasty little tooth fairies up to vast rock monsters and plant gods. There’s an alien, bizarre aesthetic to these creatures that feels wholly real, as if Neil Gaiman casually dropped a few sketches onto the drawing board.
But as amazing as the visuals are, Del Toro never neglects the characters. Perlman is perfect for the role of “big Red” — he’s gruff, sarcastic, moody, but also endearing and self-deprecatingly likable. There are more hints of his potentially dark future, and he faces some delicately-handed temptations. But Big Red’s good heart is still very much in the forefront, no matter how much human beings fear him.
Blair gives a more lively performance here as a spunkier Liz, who also has some surprising developments in store. Jones is pitch-perfect as the fish-man, who experiences the first pangs of young love for Nuala, while Goss gives a chilling, whispery performance as a rebel prince who is willing to do whatever it takes — even kill family — if it helps him restore the fey kingdom. Pretty good villain, since he clearly isn’t trying to be bad.
There’s also loads of extras in this particular edition of the movie — feature commentary with director Guillermo Del Toro, Jeffrey Tambor, Selma Blair and Luke Goss, as well as some deleted scenes also with commentary with Del Toro, a prologue to the movie, a digital script, image gallery, a “Puppet Theatre” for the opening sequences of the film, concept art, interviews, and other such stuff. Also making-of documentaries — seven mini-documentaries that visit the set, the “Troll Market Tour” in the movie’s most memorable “faerie” setting, and the two-hour “Hellboy: In Service Of The Demon.” Basically, it turns the film inside-out and lets you examine its guts.
“Hellboy II: The Golden Army” is a wild, darkly ornate ride through the world of half-forgotten gods and fey. While it has a few flaws, those are far outweighed by the brilliant of Del Toro’s vision.
Hellboy II – Back And Better Than Ever!
You know you’re not watching a formulaic comic book film when one of the highlights is a drunken rendition of “Can’t Smile Without You” by Hellboy and Abe Sapien. “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” is a more confident, assured outing than the first film and while it does not draw from Mignola’s comics for its plot it is perhaps better off for it, lacking the usual burden of comparison and expectations. “The Golden Army” is more fantastical than the first film and is less sci-fi oriented but this is the sort of thing Del Toro does exceptionally well as a writer. He never lets the fantasy become the focus of the film, instead concentrating on characters and delivering action scenes that can only be described as, forgive the crass immaturity, kickass.
As entertaining as many comic book-to-film adaptations are it is a rare event when one can call one of these films a true artistic achievement. I am convinced without a shadow of a doubt that Guillermo Del Toro’s entire career has been leading up to this film, particularly regarding his work as screenwriter here. The comedy feels less forced and is worked incredibly well into the script here, so much so that it doesn’t feel remotely unnatural when the scene of comic drunken singing leads directly without a break into one of the film’s most intensely dramatic sequences. Del Toro’s handling of character has never been better, not even with “The Devil’s Backbone”, which is still my favorite of his films, and his sheer skill and ability when it comes to telling a fairytale-esquire fantasy is astonishing, as proved in the prologue to this film. In short this is Del Toro at the top of his game and providing artistry the likes of which we rarely if ever see in summer blockbusters. It’s only fair that an astonishingly brilliant comic like “Hellboy” by an astonishingly brilliant artist like Mike Mignola is adapted this well and by someone as talented at what they do as he is.
How refreshing it is, a week after the release of “Hancock”, which to me epitomizes everything wrong with action film-making today, that we get “The Golden Army” which features hands down some of the finest action scenes we have ever seen in this sort of film. Just stunningly beautiful, well-shot, well-crafted, the sort of thing that leaves one wondering how much time and effort went into it and endlessly thankful that some really talented people went to the trouble of making the film.
The film is generally just superb on a technical level. Why am I even saying this? Of course it is. Danny Elfman composing, Guillermo Navarro serving as cinematographer, top-notch editors, fantastic special effects wizards. It’s a world-class crew that made this film. I shouldn’t be surprised at its quality but “The Golden Army” really just floored and astonished me with how good it is. The cast is also excellent, proving once again that you don’t need ‘big names’ to carry a movie. Just about everyone here is excellent, particularly Perlman with another excellent turn as Hellboy and the underrated Selma Blair as Liz Sherman.
“Hellboy II: The Golden Army” provides essentially everything a Del Toro or Mignola fan would want. I imagine it will entertain and charm many outside those circles as well with its fantastic action sequences, engaging characters, and wonderful sense of humor. I would personally go as far as calling “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” one of the top five or so comic book movies ever made.
Give `em Hellboy!!
Fans of dark fantasy movies will definitely like this one. If you take Pan’s Labyrinth and add more creatures, and then give it an injection of humor, and sprinkle some Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, some Fantastic Four, and a little Lord of the Rings, and last of all let Neil Gaiman put the finishing touches, you’ll probably get Hellboy II or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1. Humans and mythical creatures are at it again
2. One crown rules an indestructible golden army
3. Uneasy lies the head that wants to wear the crown
4. All Hellboy breaks loose after a visit from the tooth fairies
5. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense sends a gasbag to lead the team into the bowels of New York City
6. Hellboy may be red and angry, but it’s Liz (Selma Blair) who’s the hottie
7. Big fights, big guns and big fun follows
8. `Twas beauty that tamed the beast
When the BPRD agents are called to take on the job of stopping rogue Prince Nuada (Luke Goss) they get a lot more than the main responsibilities listed on their job descriptions. Battling mythical creatures, disobeying direct orders, and generally tearing the place apart, our heroes never let a little adversity get them down on the way to a stellar showdown.
This is a fantasy, an adventure, a battle of good against not-so-good, and a love story, all rolled into one red hot package.
Rated: 4.5 stars

I possess this classic now. I watched the extra features on the DVD and all of the coverage on the other work of Jerry’s . After about a half an hour, I realized there is also a movie on this disk. I could not gain how mighty material is on this ONE disk. I strongly reccomend this and when you gather it, witness it with the commentary track turned on for Jerry’s comments as the present plays. The widescreen DVD format is incredible. The color and clarity are amazing, and the tall band sound and sound effects are richer than ever.
This Classic film shows the extraordinary comedic range of Jerry Lewis as a goofy buck tooth professor with an exagerated crude self appreciate. He finds that one of his radiant students Miss Purdy played well by Stella Stevens takes some sort of interest to him. As the professor he stumbles on a potion that can change his genetics into an overly arrogant apt looking man who lacks the one thing that would procure Purdy over. Sensitivity. The characters name Buddy Savor is said by some to have been based on worn rat pack partner Dean Martin. Buddy Loves character was an inspiration for comedian Andrew Dice Clay as Dice has said, “Your not here because your Not attracted to me. And you can seek I dig you magnificent well myself.” Eddie Murphys remake although satisfactory could never over shadow this classic comedy. Lewis as Professor Kelp at the prom with his goofy dance steps is hilarious. This movie is timeless and I highly reccomend it to everyone. This movies 1963 release gives you some sense of the simple wholesome lifestyle of the early sixties. As a male I can’t back but descend for Stella Stevens every time. Jerry Lewis proves in this movie he’s a silly genius!

I strongly recommend! Originally released in 1960, the film returned to theatres 4 times in later years. This is absolutely one of the most fun family films the Walt Disney Studios ever made. There is truly something for everyone… comedy, action, adventure, drama, romance, and suspense. Even at 126 minutes in length, it does not feel too long. Starting in the aftermath of a shipwreck, the Swiss family rebuilds their life on an uncharted tropical island. They spend the wealth of come by in livestock, tools, guns, furniture, wood, and more to earn a valid home in the trees, complete with running water and other conveniences. The mother and father commence an idealic exhistance with their 3 boys old-fashioned 9, 16, and 18. But one day the older boys determine to retract a canoe and gape the rest of the island. They stumble across pirates that are attacking the crew of a ship, and rescue the captain’s daughter, bringing the wrath of the pirates on them since they are discovered.

Directed by Ken Annakin, the movie was filmed on place on the caribbean island of Tobago. While the production went intention over budget for a total cost of $4 million, Walt did not accumulate upset with his production team at the time since the film was looking to be success when he reviewed clips from the area. As it turned out, with subsequent theatre releases, television, and video airing, the film has turned out to be one of the top-grossing films from Disney.
The tropical scenery is spectacular as they filmed all over the island; waterfalls, forests, grass plains, flowers, beaches, cliffs, mountains, oceans, streams, and noteworthy more. Contributing a colossal amount to the exotic locale of the movie are animals, pirates, ships, and a tree house to beat all tree houses ever made. Similar to the role the submarine “Nautilus” filled in the earlier film “20,000 Leagues Below the Sea”, the tree house becomes a star in it’s have honest. The fantastic and inventive home designed by the castaways and from the ships accept is astonishing to view.

Featuring a fantastic cast and crew assembled by Walt himself, Mr. Disney liked to stick with actors he knew could describe to a substantial audience. Most of the actors in this film appeared in other Disney movies over the years, many times with other actors from this film. Hayley Mills (Pollyana, Parent Trap, That Darn Cat, Summer Magic, In Search of the Castaways, The Moon-Spinners), Dorothy McGuire (Ragged Yeller, Summer Magic), John Mills (Did not appear in other Disney movies, but was Hayley’s true life father), James MacArthur (Light in the Forest, Third Man on the Mountain, Kidnapped), Kevin Corcoran (A Tiger Walks, Savage Sam, Veteran Yeller, The Shaggy Dog, Bon Voyage, Babes in Toyland, Toby Tyler, Pollyanna), Tommy Kirk (Probably the most proficient of all with Savage Sam, Mature Yeller, The Shaggy Dog, Moon Pilot, Bon Voayage, Son of Flubber, The Absent-Minded Professor, Misadventure of Merlin Jones, The Monkeys Uncle, Babes in Toyland), and Janet Munroe (Darby O’Gill and the Miniature People, Third Man on the Mountain) . Most of these actors also appeared in movies for the Disney television series as well.
VAULT DISNEY DVD VERSION
The 2 disc DVD treatment that Disney gave this film is perfect, starting with tremendous packaging and case. It is in Widescreen, the first widescreen release outside of theatres for the film in fact. And what a incompatibility it makes in the fine site island vistas of the film. The film has been cleaned up and remastered to its current brilliance with lush colors, broad image and depth, it fair sparkles. The DVD transfer itself is very well done, a high quality job. The audio is very desirable and crisp.
DVD EXTRAS
The extras on this DVD are what really design the best version released of this film, and they are not all listed here at Amazon or even on the packaging. You have to hunt them down and catch creative with your remote. So let me assist by telling you what to leer for if you prefer this… For starters they have the new cartoon that was released with the movie, “Sea Salts” allowing you to look this with the kids the plan that it is meant to be seen. There is a 2 shrimp “1960 Disney Studio Album”, a montage of projects, attractions, shows, and films being made and released that year. There is an audio commentary as an alternate track that features comments from cast and crew.
Next we have 23 minutes from a vintage Walt Disney television “Unbelievable World of Disney” episode titled “Elope to Paradise”, that expose the making of the film late the scenes. Up next is the recent 1960 movie theatre trailers for the film, and the 1960 televison spots to advertise the film. Then there are “Storyboard to Scene Comparisons”; a seperate “Storyboard Gallery”; and a 2 cramped “Production Gallery” of photo stills from leisurely the scenes at situation. Another gallery is beefy of production stills; Next is “Biographies” on 8 principle actors; and then “Belief Art” on the films pre-production invent work.
As if that’s not enough a featurette titled “Adventure in the Making” was made unbiased for this situation, and at 49:00 minutes long it is very complete and satisfying, with fresh interviews of the novel cast and crew. There is titanic leisurely the scenes current footage in this allotment, and the folks regale us with humorous stories of the filming days. Peter Elleshaw (matte artist), Ken Annakin (director), Danny Lee (special effects), and actors John Mills, Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran are all here for new interviews. ANOTHER short 4 shrimp featurette that was also made impartial for this state is “Swiss Family Treehouse”, narrated by Hayley Mills. It is the pre-opening footage and the accurate Opening Ceremony of the “Swiss Family Robinson’s Tree House” attraction (now gone, replaced with Tarzans Tree House) at the Disneyland Park. Walt himself is there and it is evident he is really enjoying himself in this must-see footage.
Included on the situation is a very nice 12 small interview with James MacArthur, who appeared in this film and 3 others for Disney along with a TV movie. This features mountainous video as well. There is a “Pirates” music video state along featuring pirate themed clips from Disney films, TV shows, cartoons, and the theme park attraction “Pirates of the Caribbean”, all site to the Disney tune of “Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirates Life For Me”. An modern or unexpected extra is a featurette that has 20 minutes of excerpts from a 1940 non-Disney version of the record.
The dvd dwelling has Audio Archives spot to photos from the film, including 2 Interactive Sound Studios, 2 songs from the film, novel 1960 radio spots. Another staunch treat is the complete LP soundtrack of the modern “Storybook Album” of the movie released in 1960.
SUMMARY
I really enjoyed this DVD, and this film really got the best of treatment by Disney. They simply outdid themselves and I am one grateful viewer. I wish all the really well-behaved classic Disney films got at least some of this royal treatment. They have a reputation as the best studio about protecting their outmoded source material, archives, etc, but they are not always capable in using it for their DVD’s so I can really like the concern here by the decision makers. Thank you Disney for this compilation that really honors this gem of a film the procedure it should be!!!! My highest recommendation if you are considering buying this DVD.
The folks at Walt Disney Home Video have keep together four proper recent “Vault Disney” releases that truly showcase DVD technology at its best. “Swiss Family Robinson,” one of Walt Disney’s best-loved live-action adventures, benefits immensely from DVD technology, especially the wide-screen presentation and THX restored report and sound quality. The widescreen alone would have happy most fans, so the plethora of extras on the supplemental disc are truly special. I have never seen a DVD with so many extras presented in such a creative and easily accessible diagram. Thank you to everyone at Walt Disney Home Video for this improbable DVD. Hopefully, more titles will follow in this series (like Third Man on the Mountain, Darby O’Gill and the Small People, The Moonspinners, and Summer Magic) and ALL Disney DVD’s will be released in their modern theatrical ratios

In its ninth season, Execute She Wrote’s star, Angela Lansbury, proved to the masses once again that the demonstrate was headed in the apt direction. Her acting chops were as keen as her longevity was inevitable for the last eight years as America’s current mystery writer and amateur sleuth, Jessica Fletcher.

In this season, racy and mysterious episodes abound. As evidence, in THE CHRISTMAS SECRET, situation in the fans’ common fictional town of Cabot Cove, Maine, we learn the meaning of family and why it is so primary to admire and fight through the squabbles of everyday life to discontinue together. In Slow TO RIGHTS, we ogle a different side of Jessica Fletcher, as an uppity, flummoxed mystery writer. Her research assistant, Dana Ballard, is discovered as not having been the person Jessica thinks she really is–in this case, a pathological liar. THE WIND AROUND THE TOWER finds Jessica abroad in Ireland bouyed with on-location scenery and brouge-thick dialogue. Eccentric characters litter this episode, making it a bright and attractive caper. One of the season’s highlights depicts Jessica up against a radio jock wannabe, Marcus Rule, in KILLER RADIO. When confronted by Jessica, Rule gets a shameful awakening of his contain from the “Down East” mystery writer–and quite effectively, too.
Many of the episodes in season nine are spot in Fresh York City, hence Jessica’s depart from Cabot Cove, Maine to the Sizable Apple during last year’s change in season eight. Lansbury wanted the character of Jessica Fletcher to follow less primitive rules, such as she had in the past seven years in Cabot Cove. First, Lansbury had grown tired of quaint life in the seaside village and of Jessica’s simple tweeds and shoes. Lansbury wanted to cast the mystery writer as more of a progressive in her lifestyle choices. In season nine, Jessica appears more sophisticated in business suits and is up-to-date with technology (eg., computers, cell phones), and in touch with the youth of America. She gets abet to her roots as professor, lecturing to young students on criminology at Manhattan University. But Lansbury was also aware that in order to halt afloat with the other stiff TV competition, she had to raise the bar for the 1992-1993 season if she was going to continue with the note, particularly late the scenes. That said, after receiving outrageous numbers from seasons six and seven, where Jessica was absent from a few storylines, narrating a handful of the episodes, making some changes would note to be a challenge for Lansbury. To sweeten the deal, however, Lansbury became executive producer of “Abolish She Wrote” for the next three years.

The atmposhere in season nine establishes Jessica’s fresh “home turf” in Recent York City, and Lansbury’s high-level enthusiasm by her current place of power. Whether mingling with high-brow people in the business world of publishing, current writing, detective snooping, teaching at Manhattan University, or enjoying the leisures of her Penfield House apartment building in Manhattan, season nine marked a year of change for Jessica Fletcher and concocted a slew of surprises and conundrums for the viewing audience.
