Hammy the hyperactive squirrel is the funniest thing in it But its ending is weak a syrupy ending about friendship solving everything It lacks characters and the art is to very good Its consists of cinema and post modern jokes but no staying power that comes with narrative this is a diatribe against American consumerism and nachos and junk food beginning with an explosion of nachos as epic as an atom bomb such is its effect on the animals. this inspires them to seek out more which means abandoning their natural habitat and entering the world f humans. Thanklfully hue humans have thoughtfully destroyed their habitat while they were hibernating as an invitation to come and infest their homes. This may not be as funny as some of the CGI works and again is tying to balance irony jokes for the adults with scatological the kids, Bruce Willis's voice-over for the raccoon raises the film
An interesting novelty. This is more famous than its predecessor Willard but unseat of the sinister atmosphere it is replaced by cuteness like a cartoon. A lonely boy befriends a genius rat with homicidal tendencies. Having already eaten his previous owner the rat confines its nibbling to the boys bullies. Ther is an intended message about accpetanceÑ just because its a rat it doesn't mean it hasn't feelings or virtuous, the importance of friendship and stopping aggression and persecution whether its bullying or exterminating rats who only want a home and live peacefully. All that is undermined by the fact that it is a story about a rat! It contains 1970s deliberate bad lighting to convey a gritty realism which was popular among art directors of the time. There's also Michael Jackson's effecting song, as long as you forget its about a rat. The film is fun but could do with a lighter touch, the story of a boy dealing with bullies and finding friendship is uncomfortable for a horror film and it ends up being a cult oddity
Kathy LLoyd is known mostly in the UK as a glamor model for page 3. Towards the end of her career she released this video. As exercise videos go it is fairly standard. The exercises are aimed at women who want to burn a few calories so the exercises are somewhat leisurely. Each section is linked with a commentary by Lloyd. What lifts this above other videos is a few vicarious points. Kathy was a member of MENSA and has an English degree from Liverpool University. Also she is connected to the actor, parapsychologist and scientist Stephen Armourae who also did a couple of paintings of her as did other artists. So Kathy Lloyd should have gone on to make a work out video for the brain too which she could have easily made more strenuous than her body workout. There is no glamor in this video as Lloyd and the other exerciser remain sensibly covered up and concentrate on their exercises through the proceedings
