Unable to disregard his military sensibilities, the general embarks on his own secret project in an effort to make toys that fulfill his confrontational nature, developing video games for children that actually control live weapons. Upon discovering their uncle's diabolical plan, Leslie and Alsatia set out to stop the general in his tracks and save their father's dream factory from manufacturing lethal weapons. Levinson's interesting social commentary also features rapp...

Laughter and Whimsy: Great Places to be..

Date of Review:  Sep 30, 2000
Review: This movie isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it has just the right amount of fantasy and bizarreness for my taste. It is imaginative, sweet, poignant, whimsical, witty and visually stunning. At the same time, it is off-center and strange and would...

If I Cannot Bring You Comfort ...

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2000
Review: The main reason why "Toys" did so abysmally at the box office is that most people simply didn't get it. They passed it off as more of Robin Williams' silliness, totally missing the anti-war message and the fact that it was intended as satire...

One of my all-time favorites

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2000
Review: I have loved this movie for years, and don't expect to outgrow it anytime soon.

On the one hand, it's one of the funniest movies I know - if you have the right sense of humor. It's full of great non-sequiturs and absurdist one-liners. To...
