Another of Disney’s efforts to create a quickie animated feature film out of one of its daily TV shows, this one plays like a low-rent reworking of Aladdin. Still, with Scrooge McDuck (voiced by Alan Young) and nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, there’s fun to be had. And that includes the genie (voiced by comic Rip Taylor) and the villains voiced by Christopher Lloyd and Richard Libertini. The plot centers on Scrooge’s search for lost treasure; the kids come up with the magic lamp with the genie in it, which is sought by an evil magician. Everyone gets into the act of making wishes and seeing them come true, until the bad guy gets a hold of the lamp. Mostly for young viewers. –Marshall Fine

The first gymnast to ever score a perfect 10 at the Olympics was Nadia Comaneci. From a small town in Romania, Nadia (Leslie Weiner, in her only feature film role) rose to international stardom. Under the coaching guidance of Bela Karoli, she pushed herself with the will of a champion. This movie does a wonderful job of showing how hard gymnasts must work as well as showing how much they must give up in their personal lives in order to achieve success. After winning three gold medals at the 1976 Olympics, her life spins out of control when Bela is removed as her coach. For the first time in her life she is on her own, she is the object of jealousy from her teammates, and her weight is out of control. She seeks out her former coach and asks for his help. Together they put Nadia back on the winning track. A family film with a lot to offer, Nadia shows in a credible way the highs and lows of celebrity. The gymnastics portions are terrific. A must if there’s a bu (more…)

Honesty. Integrity. Family. Stories of a family’s – and a nation’s – yesteryear continue in six Reunion Movies. Set in the 1940s are A Wedding on Walton’s Mountain (will Erin have a change of heart?), Mothers’ Day on Walton’s Mountain (honoring the person everyone turns to when crises arise) and A Day for Thanks on Walton’s Mountain (with Robert Wightman as John-Boy). Taking place in the 1960s and featuring Richard Thomas as John-Boy are A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion (as a nation mourns the death of JFK), A Walton Wedding (no big-city Manhattan nuptials for John-Boy) and A Walton Easter (Happy 40th, John and Olivia!). Six warm Walton memories are yours to share. For fans of the family-friendly classic TV series, this 3-disc set features six made for television holiday-themed movies.

Review
3 Idiots is one of the best films to have ever come out of bollywood. It doesn’t make you feel like an idiot, like other contemporary comedies . It’s an eye opener and gives an accurate picture of what the Indian education system is all about. The director, Raju Hirani, delivers another gem, thanks to a very gripping screenplay and superb editing. The script, losely inspired from writer Chetan Bhagat’s bestseller, ‘Five point Someone’ never lets you drift and keeps you enthralled right till the end.The casting is spot on. The ‘Rang de Basanti’ team of Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi excel with flying colours. Watch them in the scene where they banter with each other at Sharman Joshi’s house. Omi Vaidya as ‘Chatur’ is outstanding. His broken hindi delivered ‘balatkaar scene’ is a laughter riot. The film inspires you to challenge the status quo and re-invent the wheel.’Aal Izz definitely Well’ here and you would be an idiot to miss this one. –platform47. (more…)
