My Movies: The Black Cauldron

Young assistant pig keeper Tarin must take an oracular pig into hiding after it is discovered an evil horned king wants to use him to find the powerful Black Cauldron

This is number 25 in the series of Disney animated movies.

No doubt scenes of skeletons and the like throughout the move is what earned it a PG rating.  It is not your typical disney animation as there are absoloutely no songs in it.

It is worth a viewing for it’s high quality animation, however it is also easily forgettable as it isn’t overly humerous or spectacular.

My Movies: Beverly Hills Cop

Detroit detective Axel Foley travels to Beverly Hills in pursuit of the man who killed his best friend, but receives less than a warm welcome from the local police.

There was a time in the 1980s when Eddie Murphy starred in some very funny films, and theBeverly Hills Cop series were no exception. The first of three films

Great for a laugh.

Beverly Hills Cop II

Since events of the first film, Axel Foley and Sargent Bogomil have become friends. When a group of international criminls try to kill Bogomil, Foley travels to Beverly Hills to find out their identity.

More of the same, still the high quality humour and action as in the first movie.

Beverly Hills Cop III

Foley’s superior officer is shot dead when a raid on a warehouse goes wrong. An investigation into the crimina mastermind responsible leads Foley back to Beverly Hills to a childerens theme park.

The jokes were getting a little old by the time the third film was made. While laughs were a little thinner on the ground, it has it’s fair share of action to make up for it, with a big car chase in the opening minutes.
