Boohbah (2003)
It's about EXERCISE...
It's for 3yr old children to get moving and exercise to, you're not actually meant to watch it. They're not brainwashing children they're bright colourful balls so that kids can see them and want to exercise. Hence it's why the ads say something like "..come dance with the Boohbah's.." If you haven't noticed the world's children are getting fatter so the children's television producer's are trying to encourage them to eat healthy, exercise, and solve problems on the side. Television isn't about watching pictures anymore it's about trying to involve the younger generation and teach them good habits. OK so they're not the prettiest creatures, they're for children, NOT adults, that's why they don't appeal to us. Why not take the time to actually analyse the show for what it is actually teaching, not everything is about moving pictures.
The Clan of the Cave Bear (1986)
Good movie but read the book.
The movie deviates far from the book and cuts a majority of it out, so even though I have read the book a number of times I would not have had a clue what was happening in the movie had there not been narration.
The acting is good, a sign of its times, and the characters are cast well, overall it's not a bad movie, technically. The plot is great if you have not read the book or for those who are not fans of books. I just felt there were many aspects from the book, such as hierarchy, that were not addressed properly in the movie. Hierachy was such a huge element in the development of the characters in the book and yet played only a minor role in character development in the movie.
However I felt the ending of the movie was excellent, in comparison to most book to movie endings. If you could insert the movie ending into the book and write it in, the story would be perfect. So as good as the movie is if you have the chance, read the book there is so much more to the story.
