#99 TOY STORY

I forgot how entertaining this movie actually is... Great storytelling, with possibly a message behind all of the bells and whistles of  Buzz Lightyear. The description of this movie with two toys Cowboy Woody (Tom Hanks) and space ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) fighting for the first place love of their owner, doesn't really do it justice. Maybe, two strangers from different cultures, putting their differences aside.. bonding like brothers, all for the love of another. A must see! Great for the whole family! Toy Story paved the way for computer-animated film, which John Lasseter won an OSCAR. I give this one... 10 farm fresh eggs! enjoy!

100. Ben-Hur 1959

I have begun my epic journey through AFI's top 100 films, with an "epic" for it's time... BEN-HUR. I say for "it's time" only because it is 51 yrs old. I remember watching it for the first time when I was about 12 yrs of age with my Grandmother Malloy, her favorite I might add. I am glad I chose to watch it again, because the only part I ever recalled was the chariot race.. which was before "special effects". long movie? yes, but considering this 3h 22min movie only covered 5 to 7 years of Judah Ben-Hur's life, it was well worth my time. I wanted this to be "MY" own opinion, and was hoping it would be different than everyone else's critique... but it's not much different, Ben-Hur is a classic film! A well told story with mediocre acting.Out of 12 farm fresh eggs... I give it a half dozen. Enjoy!
