[Q]: this christmas , little ralphie parker ( peter billingsley ) wants nothing more than a red ryder bb gun under the tree .
although cautioned by many that he will ?
shoot his eye out ' , ralphie remains optimistic , conjuring up a detailed scheme to get on the good side of his parents and teachers .
it could be possible that no one has ever wanted anything with more passion than ralphie wants this bb gun , and the story of his eternal struggle is a charming one .
' a christmas story ' is a favorite among many during the holiday season , and boy ,
it is certainly easy to see why .
ralphie 's endless desire for the bb gun may transport you back to your childhood , when you were craving a certain gift for christmas and the anxiety was almost indescribable .
evoking pleasant childhood memories is only one of the many things ' a christmas story ' does so well .
here are a few features that make this film such a charming little package
for everybody during the holiday season : 1 ) period detail .
this film is based on the memoirs of late humorist jean shepard , who shares his experiences as a young boy living in the 1940 's with loving detail .
shepard narrates from a first person point - of - view , divulging his various adventures one snowy december , in which visions of taking aim with his new bb gun replaced that of sugarplums dancing in his head .
shepard 's first - hand commentary of several situations is not only downright hilarious , but also witty and warm , with various metaphorical meanings that ring perfectly with the essence of comic timing .
on top of that , young billingsley 's stupefied reactions to each predicament is absolutely perfect in contrast with the narration .
director bob clark captures the look and feel of the era with wonderful technicality .
i can hardly imagine a more accurate depiction of what christmas for young ralphie must have been like .
2 ) mom and dad .
both melinda dillon ( as mom ) and darren mcgavin ( as ?
the old man ' ) are perfect in their roles .
it 's hard to fathom a more agreeable pair for the requirements of a story like this one , with each possessing at least one memorable trait that instantly separates them from the wooden caricatures that could have been featured .
for instance , he is a bloodthirsty turkey hound , and she is forgiving and understanding when it comes to some serious issues .
in portraying the writer as a persistent but mild - mannered young lad , peter billingsley has struck quite the chord .
his performance is richly textured , making all of the humorous situations he stumbles into radiate with flavor and enjoyment . which brings us to . . . .
3 )
the comic situations .
there are plenty of memorable moments in ' a christmas story ' .
moments that undoubtedly will improve in comic potency upon each new viewing , with so much more to explore and to cherish .
i am particularly partial of the ? f - word scene ' , in which ralphie blurts out the shocking four - letter obscenity while helping the old man in the yard .
again , shepard 's method of handling this amusing scenario is nothing short of comic wizardry .
the numerous sequences that stick in one 's mind include , of course , the famous department store santa scene - in which billingsley has some problems in telling old saint nick what he wants under the tree .
i could go on , but i 'll finish on this note :
' a christmas story ' is a standout among holiday movies , because it captures so much in a meager 90 minutes .
not only is it funny ,
it 's often genuinely hilarious . . . .
not to mention warm , fluffy and touching in all the appropriate places .
i plan on making ' a christmas story ' a christmas tradition .
why do n't you ?

[Q]: i had been expecting more of this movie than the less than thrilling twister .
twister was good but had no real plot and no one to simpithize with .
but twister had amazing effects
and i was hoping so would volcano volcano starts with tommy lee jones at emo .
he worrys about a small earthquake enough to leave his daughter at home with a baby sitter .
there is one small quake
then another quake .
then a geologist points out to tommy that its takes a geologic event to heat millions of gallons of water in 12 hours .
a few hours later large amount of ash start to fall .
then . . . . it starts .
the volcanic eruption . . . .
i liked this movie . . .
but it was not as great as i hoped .
i was still good none the less .
it had excellent special effects .
the best view .
. .
the helecopters flying over the streets of volcanos .
also . . . there were interesting side stories that made the plot more interesting .
so . . .
it was good ! !

[Q]: ah , and 1999 was going along so well , too .
"
she 's all that " has the dubious distinction of being the worst movie i 've seen so far this year . and quite frankly
, i doubt i 'll see anything equally bad .
( at least , i * hope
* i do n't see anything equally bad ) .
"
she 's all that " tells the story of the most popular guy in school ( played by freddie prinze jr . ) who accepts a bet to transform the geekiest girl in school ( rachel leigh cook ) into the most popular .
that , right there , is problem
# 1 . how many times have we seen this storyline ?
as cook comments near the end of the film , " it 's kind of like " pretty woman " , except without the prostitution " .
of course , had the filmmakers attempted to try something new with this material , the well - worn storyline would have been a device to propell the movie forward .
as it is , though ,
"
she 's all that " relies *
completely * on the lame and overused formula to push it ahead .
there 's not one original or interesting character in the film , either , and if that was n't bad enough , there 's not one good performance featured .
the star of the movie , rachel leigh cook , is simply horrible .
i
usually do n't like to get so personal , but in this case , i think it needs to be said .
cook wears the same expression throughout the flick and looks to be having as miserable a time as i was .
i was never convinced that she was a " nerd " , and her transformation was unconvincing and unnecessary .
the movie seems to be saying it 's better to be popular than to be who you are .
as for freddie prinze jr .
, an actor i ordinarily enjoy
, he too is quite bad here .
he coasts through the film on so - called charm , and never establishes a real character .
kieren culkin is here , too , as the brother of cook .
and for some indiscernable reason , he 's got hearing aids .
no explanation is given and they 're never brought up . were we supposed to feel * sorry * for him just because he wore hearing aids ?
i do n't think so .
that single element of the film was one of the most offensive things i 've seen in a movie in a long time .
"
she 's all that " sucks .
that 's what it boils down
to .
it 's not entertaining , and it 's not even a good time passer .
the hour and a half running time goes by slower than a 5 minute hair - removal system informercial .
and what 's worse , it sends out a bad message to teens .
it appears to be telling them ,
" hey , it does n't matter if you 're happy the way you are .
that 's unimportant .
if you want to * truly * be happy , dress in the latest fashions and act like a bubble - headed moron .
" ugh .
