"You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown" includes one of jazz genius Vince Guaraldi's greatest compositions: "Joe Cool". The short sequence is truly great and worth every Peanuts fan's attention. The rest of the 25 minute long special is pretty unremarkable, but enjoyable nonetheless.

I truly don't believe that any one thought this film was going to be good. What comes as a shock is how truly HORRIBLE it is. "Little Nicky" is perhaps one of the worst films I have ever seen. Every awful, poorly written gag and joke comes like a punch in the stomach, and it never relents. I'm almost surprised the film wasn't shelved, but since Adam Sandler is "hot, hot, hot" that just wouldn't happen. I was annoyed that the film did such poor box office (before I had seen it), since it seemed as thought Sandler and co. were being punished for trying something new. After seeing it however, I couldn't be happier that it bombed.

What a tease! One of the most magnificent anime films I've seen, and that's it, no more. I believe there was supposed to be a television series to follow up, but it never happened. Either way, it's based on a large series of manga (which has never been translated) so at least Japanese fans had something to sate them. The highlight of this one is the giant mecha, or "mortar heads", very cool stuff indeed!
