A spoof for people who hate spoofs.
So in short, see this movie! You'll laugh till your sides hurt!
It is not one of Mel Brook's best but there are some laughs
Robin Hood is played the versitile actor Cary Elwese, who has done both comedy and drama. One of his most memorable lines in this movie was "Unlike other Robin Hoods, I have a British accent."
My main complaint his that many of the Jokes are recycled from previous Mel Brook's movies. The scene with Dom De Louis as a Godfather like character was funny. It was a pretty good immitation of Marlon Brando.
The actor who played hangman in this movie was also the Hangman in Blazing Saddles.
Of course Mel Brook's always played a character in his movies. He played Rabbi Tuckman who made money by going to differevt villages performing circumcisions.
A Classic Brooks Adventure!

Although it's not as bold as Oscar darling Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera continues the resuscitation of the movie musical with a faithful adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's blockbuster stage musical. Emmy Rossum glows in a breakout role as opera ingénue Christine Daae, and if phantom Gerard Butler isn't Rossum's match vocally, he does convey menace and sensuality in such numbers as "The Music of the Night." The most experienced musical theater veteran in the cast, romantic lead Patrick Wilson, sings sweetly but seems wooden. The biggest name in the cast, Minnie Driver, hams it up as diva Carlotta, and she's the only principal whose voice was dubbed (though she does sing the closing-credit number, "Learn to Be Lonely," which is also the only new song). Director Joel Schumacher, no stranger to visual spectacle, seems to have found a good match in Lloyd Webber's larger-than-life vision of Gaston LeRoux's Gothic horror-romance. His weakness is cuing too many audience-reaction shots and showing too much of the lurking Phantom, but when he calms down and lets Rossum sings "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" alone in a silent graveyard, it's exquisite. DVD Features The deleted scene is a new song written by Lloyd Webber and Charles Hart, "No One Would Listen," sung by the Phantom toward the end of the movie. It's a beautiful song that, along with Madame Giry's story, makes him a more sympathetic character. But because that bit of backstory already slowed down the ending, it was probably a good move to cut the song. --David Horiuchi More on The Phantom of the Opera

This is a Cute Movie! It Should Be on DVD!
"Harry" stands tall among most other family-oriented movies!
Funny funny movie!
This movie is about a family who is visited by big foot. The acting in this movie is amazing! The charcters responded so realisticly.
I know this is supposed to be a comedy, but the actors responded so realistcly to having a big foot living in their house. Thats the way I would have acted if it was really happening to me.
Well, not much can be said about this movie. It basicly speakes for it itself.
Let's Get Harry
"It's A Major Discovery. We Have To Take It Home!"
All kidding aside, I loved this flick when I was a kid. We had a VHS copy of the film, and my brothers and I wore it out something nuts. HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS is a family film. It's great for children and people who have yet to accept the fact that unicorns, Bigfeet and the Loch Ness Monster are "pretend." Meanwhile, you and your friends might enjoy picking this monster up from video stores on a rainy night when you just feeling like laughing at extreme silliness. I mean, c'mon guys, we're talking about some folks that run over a sasquatch and take it back to suburbia where it becomes a part of the family. If that won't make you laugh, I just don't know what will. I'm laughing just thinking about it. The part when Harry gets into the car and his head makes the roof bulge up, because he's so tall and big and strong..... golly that's just the best!
Well, John Lithgow (FOOTLOSE; SHREK) may be one of the best banjo players this side of Uranus, but all that fingerpicking sure doesn't get in the way of his fathering/acting skills. He's constantly caught between doing what he thinks would be best for his family and his compassion for imaginary, Harries. However, when Jacques LaFleur (David Suchet - GREYSTOKE; A PERFECT MURDER), a hunter out for Bigfoot blood, starts sniffing the sasquatch trail, Harry and co. are forced to recruit Dr. Wallace Wrightwood (Don Ameche - TRADING PLACES; COCOON), a Bigfoot enthusiast, and flee to the hills to save Harry. Isn't that a unique tail?
While the film is a winner in many ways, one can't escape the fact that Bigfoot is not a real creature! This staggering statement can't be ignored. Throughout the film, you just can't help but laugh and comment, "Hang on just a darn second! Now, that's not real. There's no such thing as Bigfoot." And, then you'd laugh out loud and smack yourself on the knee.
Overall, HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS is a must-own rental for anyone with a flare for cheesy movies about nonsensically impossible creatures and the families they love. ... Read more

A Rare Gem
Each of the actors, from Alfred Molina to Joan Plowright to the little known but charming Josie Lawrence, give fine performances. Based on the Elizabeth von Arnim novel, two repressed English women seek adventure and find it when they vacation in an Italian villa. The villa seems to change everyone's mood and outlook in life. It's similar in theme to "A Room With A View".
Shot on what had to be a shoestring production, the story, the actors and the camerawork more than make up for any limitations of budget. The film tops off with a satisfying ending that will leave you in a mood quite the opposite of what most films do today. When was the last time that happened?
Wisteria and Sunshine
When an ad is placed in the paper offering a vacation of wisteria and sunshine at a castle by the sea in Italy, two Englishwomen, Lottie (josie Lawrence) and Rose (Miranda Richardson), who are friends from church, leave their mates behind to join two other women for an April to remember. Hesitant at first, everything changes on their first morning there when Lottie opens her bedroom shutters upon the most beautiful vista she has ever seen. She is flooded with love and seems to have a deeper understanding of the human heart than ever before.
Sharing the villa and its enchantment are an older woman with quite a past, and a stunning socialite tired of being pawed at by men. Joan Plowright is delightful as the elderly Mrs. Fisher, who begins to live again under the spell of wisteria and sunshine. But it is beautiful Polly Walker's portrayel of Caroline Hester, with her magic eyes and Louise Brooks look, that nearly steals the show.
The internal musings of Lottie and Rose prompt both women to do the unthinkable and send for their husbands, bringing humorous and unexpected events to this April on the Riviera. Each will begin to find inner happiness and a rebirth of love. Even Caroline, who wanted to be alone, will discover love and beauty beyond her appearance.
Few films have the depth to sooth the soul and leave you feeling good about life like this magical film. Take your own enchanted holiday by picking this up as soon as you can.
The most unusual
For Rent: Peace of Mind
I was enchanted AND I laughed
AS you can imagine, this film is a satire or lampoon of the attitudes and mores of the 1930s which is when this story takes place. But don't worry, it's not a stuffy old boring period piece--far from it! This is an immensely enjoyable and accessible film that will really delight you. Very easy to follow and enjoy, very amusing and funny.

Full blown comedy with a killer cast
Greg Focker, male nurse, is about to propose to Pam, his "special friend" of ten months, when he hears about her recently engaged sitster, whose husband to be made the right move and asked her father first. Now he's got to do the same, which means he's got to meet the parents. And with the plot set, the laughter ensues...
What really makes this movie work is the characters we can all relate to. First there's Greg, who is desperately trying to win the parents' approval, but somehow manages to screw up everything he possibly can along the way. And to make matters worse, he's got to to deal with Pam's ex fiance while he carries out this death sentence of a weekend. And then there is Pam, whose father is well...just a little strange to say the least.
Also, Owen Wilson is just insane in this and the movie is worth it for his performance alone, not to mention being able to see DeNiro do a comedy this good.
See it for the laughs, see it for the cast, see it for the experience, because this is one of the best lately. And if that is not insentive enough, I leave you with a quote..."Well I have nipples Focker, could you milk ME?"
Skip This Meeting
What follows are a series of mildly amusing situations and one-liners, none of which you'll probably be itching to repeat at work tomorrow. Owen Wilson is a bright spot, as usual, playing Polo's ex-fiance. He also delivers the best line in the movie, a deadpan joke about the inspiration for his hobby, carpentry. Robert DeNiro and Blythe Danner, however, are both too woefully underchallenged to be able to turn in memorable performances.
The DVD's extra features include the standard outtakes, commentaries, and deleted scenes, as well as interactive personality quizzes which are fun to take but whose answers seem somewhat random. Overall, Meet the Parents is only worth renting if you're desperate to see a movie and this is the just about only thing left on the video store shelves.
Calamity after calamity - Very Funny
Calamity follows calamity, and the sight gags cascade until the end unwinds all the zaniness in a satisfying ending. It is a lot of fun with several belly laughs thrown in for good measure.
Oh no, no, no, no, no, it's not very good. Way over rated.

Mill's Best Film Ever!
When DC returns home, his owner Patti (Hayley Mills) finds the watch on DC's neck & with her wild imagination comes up with a near correct theory. Her sister Ingrid (Dorthey Provine) disaproves with the whole thing & leaves for work the next morning with one note of instruction, Patti is not to notify the police about the watch.
Instead of telling the police Patti notifies the FBI, & agent Kelso (Dean Joanes) is assigned to the job of following the cat. The movie was followed 32 years later with a fairly good remake starring Christina Ricci & Doug E Doug.
"That Darn Cat" is a Disney gem!
Based on the book "Undercover Cat" written by the Gordons, "That Darn Cat" is a Disney gem! For those who have read the book must be warned though that this movie is very different from the book, yet still hilarious and exciting! One of the best things about this movie though is that superb cast of stars! Everyone is perfect for their parts, from Hayley Mills the full-of-life Randall girl, Ingrid the serious sister, Dean Jones the allergic FBI agent, Roddy McDowall the short-tempered neighbor, Elsa Lanchester the nosy neighbor, her husband played by William Demarest, Tom Lowell as Canoe the jealous boyfriend, Ed Wynn the very nervous watch jeweler, and Richard Eastham as the FBI Supervisor. And of course we can't forget D.C. who is actually a very good actor! The title song is fun to listen to, very jazzy and sung by Bobby Darin.
If you still haven't seen this movie, I really recommend that you do! For other great Disney Hayley Mill's movies, I suggest you watch "The Parent Trap", "Pollyana", "The Moon Spinners", and "Summer Magic".
Cats Rule & Dogs SUCK!
Classic Cat!

A long time ago, in a cinema far, far away...
From Hero Luke Skywalker's symbolic journey from his home Tatooine to the moment of victory at the finale, we are greeted with a myriad of fantastic characters, especially Han Solo, played by a pre-Indy Harrison Ford and his buddy Chewbacca, flying around in their Millenium Falcon. And the ultimate incarnation of evil, Darth Vader. British veteran actors Alec Guiness and Peter Cushing are excellent as a wise yet ageing "Old Ben" Kenobi and Vader respictively. And that, more than anything, is what made TPM so hollow. While the action was good, the lack of good characters was disappointing. But AOTC has regained much of the sense of adventure that this film started off.
Do I really have to Say anything?
George Lucas was at his creative peak in the "Hope," and it shows. The special effects are used to help paint the world in which the characters live. They don't distract and they don't take away from the actors' performances. The trench run with the Death Star can still live today with modern special effects laden scenes. And the actors are so convincing in their roles, unlike some in the prequels. Alec Gunniess leads the cast with his Shakesperian wisdom, and the cool Harrison Ford is just , well, cool. Also Mark Hamill is great, as is Carrie Fischer as princess Leia. And who can forget Chewie? Star Wars still delivers, watch and enjoy.
It's Star Wars!
Yes, Han Shoots First!

"Find yourself a wife. Have kids. Or one day you'll wind up alone like me. I wonder what the hell happened?"
"They drummed you right out of Hollywood.....
Just one of a myriad of oh-so-quotable lines from the classic VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, based on Jacqueline Susann's steamy pulp-fiction bestseller of 1966. The acting is pure cheese, the script is a paler, watered-down imitation of Susann's text and the songs are God-awful. But there is something about this little gem that draws me in time after time. I could easily watch it once or twice a day and never get bored with it.
The story recounts three girls in New York: Anne Welles (Barbara Parkins - BEAR ISLAND), Neely O'Hara (Patty Duke - THE MIRACLE WORKER) and Jennifer North (Sharon Tate).
Anne has just arrived from small-town Lawrenceville, and landed a job as secretary in an entertainment law-firm. This leads Anne to the acquaintance of Neely, a young up-and-coming Broadway singer who's just been dumped from the new musical starring Helen Lawson (Susan Hayward - I WANT TO LIVE). The reason?...Neely would easily steal the show, and the only star of a Helen Lawson show is Helen Lawson...!
Anne also meets Jennifer, a sweet but by her own admission, talentless showgirl/model. Anne's boss Lyon Burke (Paul Burke) arranges for Neely to sing on a charity telethon, and she quickly lands her own revue at a prominent nightclub. Jennifer marries handsome crooner Tony Polar (Tony Scotti) against the wishes of his sister/manager Miriam (Lee Grant - VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED). Anne then gets discovered by a cosmetics firm and becomes the glamorous 'Gillian Girl'.
The story moves to Hollywood where both Neely and Tony are turned into movie stars. Success comes too fast and easily for Neely who disappears into a heady world of dolls and alcohol. Tony is tragically struck down with a mysterious disease which leaves him paralysed in a sanitarium. To make ends meet, Jennifer becomes an adult-film star.
After going through two failed marriages, Neely hits bottom and is admitted into a rehab center, at Lyon and Anne's behest. With the offer of a new Broadway musical, Neely emerges and quickly finds her feet again, only to break Anne's heart when she claims Lyon for herself. Jennifer quits the porn business and discovers she has breast cancer.
At a party for Helen Lawson's new musical, which bombed out-of-town, Neely and Helen duke it out in the ladies' room, resulting in the famous wig-ripping scene, which is probably the greatest piece in the whole film.
Another great moment is Susan Hayward singing "I'll Plant My Own Tree" standing in the middle of a huge mobile, constructed of broken traffic-lights! Margaret Whiting provided Hayward's singing, though the role of Helen Lawson was originally earmarked for Judy Garland (and the song reeks of Garland influence).
VALLEY OF THE DOLLS is a campy little gem, one that has a HUUUGE and dedicated following. Patty Duke has never eaten so much scenery in any of her subsequent films, Sharon Tate is luminous and Barbara Parkins (aka the Living Mannequin) is just what is called for the role of Anne.

Natalie Portman's stately Queen Amidala sports hairdos that makePrincess Leia look dowdy and wields a mean laser. We never bond withJedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson), and Obi-Wan's day is yet to come. Jar Jar Binks, a crossbetween a Muppet, a frog, and a hippie, provides many of the movie's lighter moments, while Sith Lord DarthMaul is a formidable force.

5 stars for DVD quality, 3 stars for the movie
Anyway - this is an awesome and incredibly well done DVD. Lots and lots of extras. Great commentary by Lucas, the producer, the sound man, etc. Interview with the composer. Lots and lots and LOTS of background materials on the making of the film, and the entire process of putting it together from initial writing to final production, and the making of the DVD itself.
The image of the movie is *very* crisp and clean. The deleted scenes are a nice addition to the movie. I am very impressed (and surprised, to be cynical about it) that Lucas has given us the full-featured DVD the first time out, and not offered us one scaled down DVD version, only to offer us a better version in a year, and then the full-scale one a year after that, like he's constantly done with the VHS versions of his movies. Thank you, Lucas, for taking care of your fans this time, and not trying to pad your pockets a few times before giving the fans what they *really* want.
Quality-wise, this is absolutely one of the most loaded, best-featured DVDs I have in my collection.
(as a p.s. - after hearing Lucas' commentary, and talking about some things coming up in the next movies, I have realized that a few things I criticized about this movie actually make sense oin terms of the upcoming story-line. However, I still think that, overall, the writing for this movie was only a cut above old b-movies)
OK Movie, Great DVD
To Lucas: Eye of the Tiger, Man!!
When Lucas made the first trilogy he was a relativly unknown up-and-comming writer/director full of desire and well, "hunger" to make his mark. That drive lead to the masterpieces of pop culture we know as ANH and ESB. By ROTJ his edge was already waning but thankfully it was the last one... or so we thought.
By the time TPM came out he lost it completely and produced a quite mediocre if at best ordinary film. Living like a king for the past 20+ years made him not "hungry and full of desire" but fat and content. He lost his edge.
Peter Jackson's LOTR Trilogy is so much better than Lucas' last 2 efforts for this same reason. Jackson has the "eye of the tiger"!
Lucas HAS to get his edge back. Most agree AOTC is better than TPM but not by much. Will episode 3 prove that Lucas got it back??
If only reality played out like the fantasy of Rocky III and Lucas brings home a REAL winner....
What drug was George Lucas on?

Francie's World
The Tender Passage of Youth
Peggy Ann Garner was so wonderful as the young and sensitive Francie, the Academy gave her an Oscar for Most Promising Juvenile Performer. James Dunn garnered an Oscar also as Francie's loving father, Johnny Nolan, a singing waiter with a gift for dreaming he passes on to Francie, who wants to be a writer. Francie's papa makes their hard life worth living and Francie worships him. He understands and adores her.
But when he isn't working, Johnny is usually drunk. Everyone in their poor neighborhood knows Johnny is a good man, however, and loves and respects him. He is the one who will find a way for Francie to attend the school she dreams of, even though it is far from their home. Francie's mother is the only one who doesn't seem to see how special Johnny is.
Dorothy McGuire gives another terrific performance as Francie's hard working mother, Katie, who tries desparately not to love her boy Neely more than Francie, and fails; tries desparately not to become bitter with the charming lad she married in her youth, but can't; and tries desparately not to let her heart grow cold and hard, and fails once more.
Francie and her family may live in poverty, but Kazan takes the time to show the joy that can be found in the small things in life. For Francie, her father represents happiness and living. Joan Blondell, as Katie's sister and Francie's aunt Sissy, with her free spirit and big heart, adds to Francie's joy in life. It is one of Blondell's finest roles.
It is Peggy Ann Garner's emotional performance, however, you will always remember. She brings a sweetness and sincerity to Francie that makes her unforgettable. Purchasing this film is an opportunity to own one of the true masterpieces in American cinema. It will touch your heart and remind you what Hollywood was once capable of, and make you wonder where it all went wrong. ... Read more

"Napoleon" Is Simply Dynamite
The character of Napoleon, brought to life by Jon Heder, is a caricature of a high school teenager. With a tuft of brownish hair, glasses, and a permanent look of confusion, getting pushed against lockers by popular jocks are regular occurrences for Napoleon, and strange behaviors as talking about hunting werewolves or saving tatertots in his pants pockets for later seem normal to him. He is delightfully quirky, and it makes the audience root for him as the unlikely hero. From his adventures at school with his friends Deb (Tina Majorino) and Pedro (Efren Ramirez), to his life at home with his geeky 31-year-old brother Kip (Aaron Ruell), his football crazed Uncle Rico (Jon Gries), and his llama Tina, Napoleon brings a unique charm to the screen that is only enhanced by the crazy characters around him.
"Napoleon Dynamite" is certainly one of the most original and strangely hilarious films of the year, and thanks to the brilliant script co-written by Jared and Jerusha Hess, the direction by Jared Hess, and the performances by all members of the cast, it is sure to win over any audience member, as quickly as it won me over.
I wish I could give it six stars
The friend of mine who saw this at Sundance told me that a jaded audience of Hollywood types 2000 strong cheered, stomped their feet and clapped their hands raw at this movie. You will too.
No log off and go see this right now.
The Prince of Preston
There have been numerous comparisons for this movie to WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE, and RUSHMORE. But for me, this film stands firmly on its own. It plays out like an absurdist straight drama that also happens to be funny. It is reminescent of some of the best moments in the Coen Brother's RAISING ARIZONA.
The film was a big hit at Sundance, and it has been distributed well; a lucky break for Hess. Wouldn't it be wonderful if more of the youth of our country could rally behind this tiny epic, and create it as a cult film; that for a moment they step away from the commedia del raunchy that they mostly immerse themselves in; that they actually laugh at themselves, the way they really are, just kids struggling to grow up? The 13-30 year old demographic dictates our art, our music, and our movies. This little film could go a long ways in restoring the missing heart, the naivete and grace to the comedic genre.
One real plus for me was the odd wholesomeness of this movie. There was zero profanity. Most of the time when a script deletes realistic high school vernacular, and changes the language to a lot of goshs, dangs, hecks, frigging, and freaking, it usually morphs quickly into the landscape of the lame. But somehow, Hess makes the lack of profanity work, and we don't miss it.
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone called Jon Heder," geek deadpan perfection." He loved the film, and directs us," to laugh until it hurts." Heder is a lanky beanpole with a red Afro, all Adam's apple and oversized glasses, and overbite. At first glance one sees a young Yahoo Serious, or a Scott "Carrot Top" Thompson. But no, Heder is more natural, more believable, more absurd, and wonderfully unselfconscious. He is less the over-the-top screamer. In his best moments, like when he played tetherball with himself, or practiced his killer dance moves in his room, he reminded me of some of the great clowns; like a young Jerry Lewis, and even the precursory shadings of the great ones like Jackie Gleason in GIGOT, or Jacques Tati. Heder is Napoleon Dynamite, a prince of Preston, a nerdish Conan out to slay demons, or maybe just to get laid.
The setting for the film seems to be the early 1990's. Napoleon, and his older brother, Kip, live with their grandmother, played by Sandy Martin, who does a great turn as a biker grandma, who still dates, eats entirely too much steak, and loves her llama.
In smaller roles we first find Diedrich Baker as the karate teacher Rex, and he is the most seasoned veteran of the cast, having appeared in 33 films. He had a lot of fun with this part, prancing around in his American flag "bad-boy" pants, and pushing around the local kids while taking their money. Then there is Shondrella Avery appearing as Kip's cyberlove La Fawnduh. She is one hot mama, and she seems to like short skinny white dudes. When Kip boards the bus with her, bandana on his head, glasses in his pocket, suitcases in his hands, leaving home for the first time, we realize the film has come full circle, and now is a fairy tale.
I had approached this film skeptically, not being sure how I would react or relate to it...but it won me over. It was not just another dumb comedy that would disentegrate two points off my intelligence quotient just by sitting through it. Rather, it was a fine little film, large on ambition, that I came to care about. I recommend it highly.
Soooo FUNNY!!!!!

Peter Pan
PETER PAN is about the boy who could never grow up and after chasing his shadow in the bedroom of Wendy, John and Michael, he invites the 3 to fly with him to Neverland. It's a wonderful story of adventure, fun and flying. All children will enjoy this one.
Now again, my reason for taking a star off is obviously for the derogatory and stereotypical depiction of Native Americans in this movie. Regardless that this movie was made in 1953 still doens't make it right. As parents, it really should be the responsibilty of the parents to explain and to teach children the right way. I will say that every child should enjoy PETER PAN, but afterwards every parent should take the time to explain to the children that making fun of another culture is wrong.
Either way it goes, if you're looking for other great Disney classics look for BEAUTY AND THE BEAST SPECIAL EDITION, THE FOX AND THE HOUND, ROBIN HOOD, SLEEPING BEAUTY and CINDERELLA. Also check out some of the new Disney's like MONSTERS INC and TOY STORY and TOY STORY 2.
You'll (almost) believe you can fly
Poor adaptation of Barrie's play misses the point.
There are defensible reasons for this, I suppose. Drama requires talking, but characters who stand around gabbing bring an animated film to a dead stop. I also suspect that Disney simply didn't understand the story in the first place. It wasn't until the Ashman/Menken era that Disney films finally developed any dramatic focus.
It's unfortunate, because "Peter Pan" starts off well enough. The late Sammy Fain's "Second Star from the Right," played over the title cards, has one of the most-ravishing melodies in the history of American popular music. (Look for the albums "Bibbidi Bobbidi Bach" and "Heigh-Ho! Mozart" for superb "classical" arrangements of Disney tunes.) The "You Can Fly" sequence is inspired (and can you name any other pop song with an accelerando passage?). But everything quickly bogs down thereafter, with Captain Hook's machinations providing the only fun.
There just aren't enough good things in the Disney "Peter Pan" to make up for its failure to treat the source material in an honest and serious fashion.
A great cartoon classic, one of Disney's best
Peter Pan, the title character, is a spry, charming lad who loves his carefree existence. He is, however, upstaged by his companion, the delightfully naughty Tinker Bell, a temperamental pixie who literally sees red when Wendy accompanies Peter Pan to Never Land. Captain Hook and his shadow, the crocodile, the sniveling Smee, the beautiful mermaids, and the stoic Tiger Lily are the characters who stand out in this movie. Wendy and her brothers, John and Michael are okay and basically come along for the ride. The sprightly song "You Can Fly!-You Can Fly!-You Can Fly!" is just one of the memorable tunes for which Peter Pan is fondly remembered.
A quick, enjoyable Disney viewing.
P.S. The claim that this movie is an allegory to the JFK years is easily refutable, since this movie was made in 1953, while the play is over a century old. ... Read more

I Found A GREAT Film in "Finding Nemo"!
But nothing yet compares to the unparalleled quality of animation, storytelling and pure magic that was produced in their most recent effort "Finding Nemo".
The story centers around a clown fish whose son is taken by divers somewhere off the coast of Sydney, Australia. Marlin, father to Nemo, is an overly protective dad who will do anything to keep his son from danger. You see, his mate and all their other offspring were lost when they were attacked by another fish. So in a desperate act to save his one remaining child, Marlin sets out across the ocean to rescue his son.
The movie brings the ocean to life with rich, vibrant colors that are serene and immensely beautiful. The close attention to detail in this film gives the settings, characters, indeed the entire film, a level of depth and quality not commonly seen in a "cartoon". The animation is so completely convincing that viewers often lose sight of the fact that they are watching a cartoon and instead they become immersed in the beautifully detailed world created by this team of animators from Pixar.
The movie has many wonderful characters created by a cast of all star talent. Marlin is played by Albert Brooks, whose voice has so much inflection in it that he gives a vitality to the character that equals or surpasses the animation of his character. Ellen Degeneres plays "Dory", an absent-minded lady fish who serves as Marlin's companion on his adventure and serves much of the comic relief of the film. Other celebrites making an appearance in this film include: William Defoe as Gill, and Geoffery Rush as Nigel, an empathetic pelican who helps save the day.
The movie mixes humor with human emotion, giving "Nemo" a vitality most animated films lack in this current medium. The film is at once touching and compassionate, clever, witty and funy, combining tongue-in-cheek humor with a tender honesty that will make all audiences young and old a fan of this film.
The DVD set contains enough extras to keep families entertained for hours, even after the film itself has ended. Provided in this collection are both wide screen and full screen editions of the film, along with several shorts from Pixar studios, and a particularly memorable and entertaining short documentary "Exploring the Reef", which stars Jean-Michael Costeau (son of famed undersater explorer Jacque Costeau), as well as some of "Finding Nemo" favorites.
So, for those of you who have reservations about watching a "kids" movie, set them aside and give this one a chance. It is really a film for all ages, with enough humor, action, adventure and entertainment to provide entire families with an experience not soon to be forgotten.
Scott Kolecki
Pleasing, funny family film
And there we have it, a simple journey plot through the ocean, meeting weird and wonderful creations courtesy of the wonderful special effects at Pixar. They really are incredible - the water effects especially are brilliant. Remember when Monster's Inc came out and the big development was the minute details of Sulley's fur. Well, this is even better technically. However, there's a certain breed of familiarity here that makes you think that the people at Pixar are capitalising on their previous films' success, because Finding Nemo is probably the least distinguishable of the lot. Of course, the Toy Story movies have already deservedly achieved classic status, but the key different between the previous Pixar movies and Finding Nemo is that they focus a lot less on the adult audience and more on the children. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because as a kid's film Nemo is fantastic, and much more endearing than something like Shrek which, although good, was never really as layered as Toy Story. For instance, all of the characters are endlessly endearing; from the cute little Nemo, to the lost Dory to Squirt, the baby turtle. This isn't to say Nemo doesn't have its flairs. There are a few more adult jokes along the way, not least a group of sharks professing that fish are friends and not food, desperately trying to rid themselves of their stereotypes. The turtles using 'surfer' talk are also very well observed. Add to the mix a great turn by Willem Defoe as Gill, a hard-bitten aquarium fish who helps Nemo escape, Geoffrey Rush as a pelican, manic seagulls screeching 'Mine, Mine!' and you've got an effective engaging movie. Still, it's a shame that every Pixar film will live with the shadow of its predecessor hanging over it, especially when this is a brilliant family movie, but the nagging resonance of the brilliant Toy Story is always in your head.
It should be called EATING NEMO.
This movie so totally rocks!

Stellar Acheivement
Superior to all other versions.
Excellent Film
Although 4 hours in length (mainly because every word in the play is inserted in the script), the stunning effect of the play is extraordinary. The backdrop for the ghost of Hamlet in the opening scene, the mirror used when Hamlet (Branaugh) is making his "To be or not to be" soliloquy, the palace in which Hamlet and Laertes fight, and the snowy landscape in which Fortenbras and his men arrive are all instances of using scenery and directing to update this version of the play.
Although the setting and interpretation of what Shakespeare intended are left in doubt, the movie itself is visually stunning and the acting is great. Although Branaugh hired a few American actors to take on some of Shakespeare's characters (for instance, Robin Williams plays Osric and Billy Crystal plays one of the gravediggers), there "American" accents are hardly noticed in the film.
As an educator, I also think this is a fantastic version to use as a resource for a study of the play. Because the dialogue is accurate to the play, it works well. Also, this version seemingly makes the work of Shakespeare easier to understand. (Although, as a warning, there is one scene with Winslet (Ophelia) and Branaugh (Hamlet) that is definitely "adult" in nature).
Overall, a great gamble by Branaugh to update Shakespeare's work into his own insight. There is also a few extras on the VHS version: interviews with many of the cast members as well as a behind the scenes about the movie.
Also recommended: Hamlet (Mel Gibson version)
Great Film for learning

Dear Libra/ Tula,
Please note that these horoscopes have been written based on Vedic astrology/ Sidereal astrology and using position of Moon as basis of all calculations and predictions.
To know your moon sign send an email requesting the same including your date of birth, place of birth and time of birth to firstname.lastname@example.com
Welcome to 2019. We hope that the year is filled with memorable moments, growth and destiny's best for you. The year 2019 carries the vibration of Planet Jupiter in the sense that it adds up to a numerological value of 3. For most part of the year, Jupiter remains in the sign of Scorpio owned by its friend Mars. One can expect great developments in the new knowledge, cutting edge growth led by new discoveries and innovations and learning. But for most part there could be an element of surprise or secrecy to it. Rapid strides in technology using artificial intelligence, new techniques in medicine and surgery or development of new weaponry and warfare methods are possible.
From the month of March, Saturn remains conjunct with Ketu in the sign of Sagittarius. Many an organisation may witness overhauling of structures, difficult equation among the hierarchies – imbalance of power centres as there is difficulty in getting along. The world order may change dramatically with the steadfast and change averse Saturn and the harbinger of evolution Ketu who residing together from March 2019 onwards. Just imagine what would transpire, if two people –chalk and cheese, with very different personalities come to live together in the same room – fireworks, spiritual hunger and/ or confusion, wandering, exploration of different equations/ arrangements for peaceful cohabitation and even prolonged periods of feeling indifferent could be in order!
Here is a look at the main transits for the Year 2019:
(Note: Rahu and Ketu have retrograde movement)
Venus – No retrogression this year
Mars - No retrogression this year
Jupiter remains retrograde from April 10, 2019 – August 11, 2019
Saturn remains retrograde from April 18, 2019 – Sep 6, 2019
Mercury remains retrograde from –
While the year seems to be a tough year for most signs, it is time for the Libra to rejoice. This is likely to be a phase where Jupiter's 2nd transit and Saturn's 3rd transit are all set to bolster your fortunes. There's personal and professional development along with several opportunities. The bigger thing to understand for the Libra is trust. It's been fairly long series of challenges, so it may be difficult for you to trust that things are turning to favour you.
Overcoming self – doubt is the key to moving forward. Also, do have the courage to express yourself clearly and keep your communication crisp and timely. This is a year of action – lots of surefooted moves. Don't waste time in overanalysing and now just focus on execution of plans. It's a financially and personally rewarding year too. There may be foreign travel and multiple times probably. Some Libra folk may be able to find and cherish a dream or a lifelong aspiration coming true. You will do great to rely on your own strengths, wisdom and intuitions.
The year 2019 is a phenomenal year for the Libra individuals. There is possibility of tremendous growth and major wish fulfilment. Some of the Libra folk may finally find a suitable position – where you feel that your potential and talent is recognised and appreciated. Those looking for suitable employment or a change may find an opportunity that is handsomely rewarding. In some cases there could be promotion, assigning of a prestigious responsibility or even grant of amazing perks!
Some Libras may get to represent their organisation/ community or their country at a global scale. You may be well recognised and may even be sought out for expert advice. This is a year where individuals running a business are able to expand it to other places. There could be a gain in lucrative deals, establishing good connections with important/ influential people. It is a great year for consolidating assets and possibly even paying of a debt. There is considerable relief from situations that have bothered you for a fairly long time.
Some of the Libra individuals may gain success and move forward with their academic goals. There is a big possibility of you being able to study abroad or at an institution of great repute. There could be intermittent periods where you feel affected by self – doubt or regret related to decision of the past. You need to let go of baggage like this as it will impede growth. Also be mindful and avoid any critical self- talk. It is a year where short distance travels may be plenty.
Later half of the year is a little crucial as difference of opinion with a mentor/ father figure may have you branching away. This could affect you emotionally. Do not make the mistake of comparing yourself with people around! Also it would be better if you disregard petty remarks from jealous individuals. You do not need to fight every battle that comes your way.
The year 2019 is a good year for personal life. You are able to clear your head regarding many ideas or thoughts. There is also relative clarity of what you want from life and what you are willing to let go off! The eligible and willing Libra ate able to settle down with a suitable life partner. You may not be averse to commitment. The Libras who are already in committed relationships find it easier to share and communicate. It is a good time to make amends/ build bridges in disturbed relationships.
Some individuals could be blessed with the birth of a child. The one area that could be slightly contentious is your relation with your siblings. You may not like the burden of excessive expectations and may decide that enough is enough! There could be some difficult conversations with the elders of the family regarding the same. Relationship with in- laws and extended family is somewhat better. Being patient with younger folk is beneficial as they may not have the maturity to understand your point of view.
This is a much better year in terms of health and you may see recovery from long standing illness. You are in a much better frame of mind emotionally to take active steps to take charge of your health. However the health of an elderly person in the family is an area of concern. It may cause you to contemplate future in a different light. Seasonal ailments and ENT issues are something that must be watched out for.
Wearing the Jyotish gemstone of your ascendant lord would be of immense help. The individuals for whom, Saturn is a yoga karaka should definitely consider wearing a natural blue sapphire or its substitute gem natural Iolite, as it is one of the most helpful planetary energy for Libra ascendant. Get your suitable detailed personalized gemstone recommendation or a brief personalised gemstone recommendation before you get your powerful talisman!

Island Club hosts friends, top socialites to special party
It was fun and razzmatazz recently when the management and members of Island Club, led by its president, Mr. Dipo Okpeseyi (SAN), hosted dignitaries of the social terminus to a special dance at the club's main auditorium in Onikan, Lagos.
It was a classy party that had members who have distinguished themselves presented with laurels and awards in appreciation for their support to one of the oldest and prestigious social clubs in Nigeria over the years.
Among the awardees were Obasa and Eleganza Group Chairman, Chief Rasak Okoya.
The Emir of Kebbi, Dr. Ado Ibrahim, who was the royal father of the day, was also presented with an award.
The induction of Ambode as one of its patrons is an indication that the newly elected chairman, Okpeseyi, is not resting on his oars to move the club forward.

United States District Court, D. New Mexico
May 14, 2018
LISA A. KENNICOTT, LISA A. GARCIA, and SUE C. PHELPS, on behalf of themselves and a class of those similarly situated, Plaintiffs,v.SANDIA CORPORATION d/b/a SANDIA NATIONAL LABORATORIES, Defendant.
matter is before the Court upon Plaintiffs' Motion to
Compel ("Motion") [ECF No. 93], filed on March 5,
2018. Defendant responded on March 19, 2018 [ECF No. 99], and
Plaintiffs replied on April 2, 2018 [ECF No. 107]. The Motion
concerned Plaintiffs' Request for Production
("RFP") No. 21. Following the parties'
meeting and conferral about that discovery request,
Plaintiffs narrowed the scope of the RFP to only those
complaints made by Defendant's female employees regarding
gender discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, sexual
harassment, gender-based hostile work environment, and/or
retaliation for making any of the foregoing complaints.
Plaintiffs also seek through the RFP the complete
investigative files for any complaints within the specified
At the
conclusion of a lengthy telephonic hearing on May 2, 2018,
the Court granted the Motion.[1] The Court herein incorporates by
reference the reasons it set forth during the hearing, along
with the additional reasons that follow below.
primary argument is that the discovery they seek is relevant
under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1) because
"gender discrimination" includes not only classic
or traditional gender discrimination, but also includes
pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, gender-based
hostile work environment, and retaliation. Plaintiffs
emphasize that their complaint alleges in broad strokes that
Sandia implemented or tolerated a broad pattern and practice
of gender discrimination that manifested itself most visibly
in lower pay, fewer opportunities for promotion, and less
positive performance evaluations for female employees.
Plaintiffs insist that the disputed discovery is necessary to
support their future request that the Court certify a class
in this case.
For its
part, Defendant responds that Plaintiffs' complaint does
not allege pregnancy discrimination, sexual harassment, or
gender-based hostile work environment, nor does it allege
retaliation on a class basis. Therefore, Defendant contends,
none of the discovery that Plaintiffs seek through RFP No. 21
is relevant even under the less-stringent standard of
relevance contemplated in Rule 26(b)(1). Defendant maintains
that Plaintiffs' lawsuit principally revolves around
whether Defendant's performance evaluation, pay, and
promotion systems either intentionally or in effect
discriminate against female employees, a structural attack
that in no way relates to unpled claims of pregnancy
discrimination, sexual harassment, gender-based hostile work
environment, or retaliation.
Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b) defines the scope of discovery:
Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged
matter that is relevant to any party's claim or defense
and proportional to the needs of the case, considering the
importance of the issues at stake in the action, the amount
in controversy, the parties' relative access to relevant
information, the parties' resources, the importance of
the discovery in resolving the issues, and whether the burden
or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely
benefit. Information within this scope of discovery need not
be admissible in evidence to be discoverable.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1). Relevant evidence is that which has
"any tendency to make a fact more or less probable than
it would be without the evidence, " where "the
fact is of consequence in determining the action."
Fed.R.Evid. 401. The Court "must limit the frequency or
extent of discovery otherwise allowed by these rules or by
local rule if it determines that: (i) the discovery sought is
unreasonably cumulative or duplicative, or can be obtained
from some other source that is more convenient, less
burdensome, or less expensive; (ii) the party seeking
discovery has had ample opportunity to obtain the information
by discovery in the action; or (iii) the proposed discovery
is outside the scope permitted by Rule 26(b)(1)."
Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(2)(C).
scope of discovery under Rule 26 is broad, but a district
court is not "required to permit [a] plaintiff to
engage in a 'fishing expedition' in the hope of
supporting his claim." Landry v. Swire Oilfield
Servs., L.L.C., 323 F.R.D. 360, 375 (D.N.M. 2018)
(Browning, J.) (quoting McGee v. Hayes, 43 Fed.Appx.
214, 217 (10th Cir. 2002) (unpublished)). Instead of a
fishing expedition, discovery "is meant to allow the
parties to flesh out allegations for which they initially
have at least a modicum of objective support."
Id. at 376 (quoting Rivera v. DJO, LLC, No.
11-1119, 2012 WL 3860744, at *1 (D.N.M. August 27, 2012)
(Browning, J.). "The burden of demonstrating relevance
remains on the party seeking discovery, and the newly revised
rule 'does not place on the party seeking discovery the
burden of addressing all proportionality
considerations.'" Benavidez v. Sandia Nat'l
Laboratories, 319 F.R.D. 696, 719 (D.N.M. 2017)
(Browning, J.).
employment discrimination cases, 'courts have
generously construed the term 'relevant' and have
afforded [EEOC] access to virtually any material that might
cast light on the allegations against the
employer.'" E.E.O.C. v. Outback Steakhouse of
Fla., Inc., 251 F.R.D. 603, 612 (D. Colo. 2008) (quoting
E.E.O.C. v. Shell Oil Co., 466 U.S. 54, 68-69
(1984)). See also Chen-Oster v. Goldman, Sachs
& Co, 293 F.R.D. 557, 562 (S.D.N.Y. 2013)
("[C]ourts typically apply more liberal civil discovery
rules in employment discrimination cases, giving plaintiffs
broad access to employers' records in an effort to
document their claims.") (internal citations and
quotation marks omitted).
Tenth Circuit has concluded that information that is
"relevant in an EEOC inquiry is equally relevant in a
private action." Rich v. Martin Marietta
Corp., 522 F.2d 333 (10th Cir. 1975). It has also
emphasized that it does not "narrowly circumscribe
discovery in EEOC cases." Id. "The scope
of discovery 'is limited only by relevance and
burdensomeness, and in an EEOC case the discovery scope is
extensive.'" Weahkee v. Norton, 621 F.2d
1080, 1082 (10th Cir. 1980) (quoting Rich, 522 F.2d
at 343). Or, as one district court explained:
As Title VII cases are particularly hard to prove in the
absence of a proverbial smoking gun, such as a discriminatory
comment made by a hiring official, discovery in these cases
is necessarily broad. Broader discovery is warranted when a
plaintiff's claims are premised on a pattern or practice
of discrimination at the organization-wide level, as ...

Copley Square Hotel has been renowned for its history, hospitality, and business travel capabilities. Located in the heart of Copley Square, the hotel has witnessed its fair share of Boston history while housing thousands of innovators, creators, and leaders over the last century. With so much creativity to derive inspiration from, the team at Copley Square has decided to feature something new this summer season.
Art Square Gallery Pop-up
For the first time ever, guests of the hotel, and the general public are invited to enjoy the Art Square Gallery Pop-up. The hotel recently unveiled its brand new intimate meeting space, Art Square, which features an annex that will soon be filled with artwork. Over the course of the summer you can enjoy strolling through the annex, drinking in the artistic wonders on display.
Kicking off the summer series is Ocean Life, a solo show by Boston-based artist Nedret Andre.
About the show:
Ocean Life will be the hotel's first exhibit, and it is a collection of Andre's seagrass-inspired abstract art. You can enjoy the show through September.
Understanding the Theme
Why ocean life? Why seagrass? Andre is passionate about drawing attention to seagrass, and ocean life in general, because it is critical for the health of our planet. Our oceans absorb a quarter of the carbon in the atmosphere and acts like a sponge which causes the seawater to become more acidic. Seagrass helps pull carbon out of the water for photosynthesis and store it in its root system, making the water less acidic. Unfortunately, we are losing two football fields worth of seagrass every hour due to climate change.
Get to Know the Art
The color, energy, and interconnectedness of species is a theme that fascinates Andre, and which she has derived inspiration from to create her magnificent paintings.
Oyster Beds (pictured above) – This piece features clusters of abstracted overlapping shapes, which mimic oyster reefs, as oysters filter and clear out nitrates from the water.
Low Tide Scallops – This piece was inspired by vegetation and line work that mimics patterns on a scallop. Baby scallops grow on the top of blades of eelgrass where they are protected from bottom feeders
Art Square Gallery Events
Aside from the beautiful artwork on display, there will also be art-related events for guests to enjoy. The opening event will take place on Wednesday, June 13 from 5-7 pm., and will feature a presentation by Tay Evans, a Marine Fisheries Biologist who will discuss the threat to seagrass and the conservation efforts taking place. Andre will discuss her work and the importance of seagrass habitats.
Later on this summer, on Thursday, July 18th, guests can enjoy a printmaking and painting workshop with Andre. This event will also be paired with a presentation by Julie Simpson, a coastal aquatic ecologist with the MIT Sea Grant College Program. She will be highlighting the importance of the seagrass ecosystem.
Art, ecology, and conservation abounds this summer at Copley Square Hotel, and we are excited to share in the joy of it all, with you! If you are considering coming to one of these events, you may RSVP here. Additionally, guests who attend the events can also enjoy a special discounted rate at the hotel.

10 stories of people having supernatural experiences after dying and then coming back to life.
Cleather, Alice Leighton
(1846-1938). Prominent early member of the Theosophical Society (TS). Cleather was born in April 1846 in England, the daughter of an Anglican minister. She joined the TS in 1885 and the Esoteric Section in 1888; was admitted to the inner group in 1890 where she had instruction from Helena P. BLAVATSKY. Cleather was given the task of recording the meetings and her careful notes were used in 1940 for a report in the Theosophical Forum (Point Loma). During this period Cleather wrote a number of articles, most importantly those published in The Theosophist from March 1890 to August 1895 under the title Theosophy in Western Lands. These articles are a valuable data source regarding theosophical activities at the London headquarters.
In 1895 William Q. JUDGE seceded from the Adyar TS and Cleather became a close associate of Katherine TINGLEY, Judge's successor, accompanying her on her world tour and remaining in Europe to lecture on theosophical subjects.
Cleather was intensely loyal to the teachings of Blavatsky and in 1899 she disassociated herself from the two theosophical groups on the grounds that they were deviating from the pure Blavatsky teachings. In 1920 she was one of five Europeans to take Buddhist vows at Buddha Gaya under the auspices of Geshe Rompoche at the Donkar monastery, Chumbi Valley. These were the first Europeans so to do. At the end of 1925 she journeyed to Peking and met the Tashi Lama who gave her a Buddhist "Testimonial" which read:
Special Gelukpa Buddhist of the English race, faithful and devoted, to be treated as a Buddhist, to be afforded every assistance and help, and not to be injured or wrongfully opposed.
She also received a special passport for Tibet and in company with Basil Crump and her son traveled into Tibet and then down the Yellow River where they were robbed by bandits, arriving at Sining in North West China after six months of exhausting travel. From Sining she traveled by air back to Peking and there published two pamphlets in Chinese: Why I Believe in Buddhism, and Some Thoughts on Buddhism.
Cleather, together with William Kingsland, founded the H. P. B. Lending Library and in 1923 she established the BLAVATSKY ASSOCIATION. She was an outstanding musician and orator, who, together with Crump, toured extensively giving slide lectures on theosophy and also the esoteric significance of Wagner's operas.
She died on May 4, 1938, at Darjeeling, India.
Cleather's published works include: H. P. Blavatsky, a Great Betrayal, 1922, Thaker Spink and Co., Calcutta; H. P. Blavatsky: Her Life and Work for Humanity, 1922, (Thaker); H. P. Blavatsky as I Knew Her, (with addendum by Basil Crump), 1923, (Thaker).

Damaged roads, train tracks and other transportation infrastructure are preventing factories in western Japan from reaching a full recovery a month after deadly rains killed over 200 people in the region.
Mazda Motor Corp. has resumed production at its headquarters plant in Fuchu, Hiroshima Prefecture, and in Hofu, Yamaguchi Prefecture, but railways used by their workers have not fully recovered.
The automaker is allowing stranded workers to commute by car but is aiming to curb overtime work at night to prevent traffic jams, which could hamper reconstruction work.
"We aim to minimize the disaster's impact on our earnings by making full use of inventories," Mazda Managing Executive Officer Tetsuya Fujimoto said.
Panasonic Corp. has restarted operations at its flooded plant that makes business-use video cameras in the city of Okayama, but full restoration is not expected until late September because of repairs needed to production equipment.
Kewpie Corp. has no prospects for resuming output and sales of canned meat sauce and four other products as its can supplier was damaged by the flooding.
Among supermarkets, Tenmaya Store Co.'s Tenmaya Happy's outlet in the Mabi district in Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, is nowhere close to reopening after being flooded to the ceiling. The store is now mobilizing vehicles to sell products.
Aeon Co.'s MaxValu store in Mihara, Hiroshima, has meanwhile set up a makeshift shopping facility on its premises.

Portsmouth city centre is massive transformation.
Regeneration along the seafront has already made this city a must-see leisure destination.
"The main construction phase is set to create up to 4,000 jobs with a further 2,500 jobs available once the development is open." (Portsmouth council website)
Portsmouth is one of the major cities along the south coast (see Map 3). Its growth and character has been influenced by its geographical location and relationship to the sea.
Home to the Royal Navy since the 17th century and located predominantly on an island, the city retains a strong maritime heritage distinguished by its historic, diverse and vibrant waterfront.
The city of Portsmouth is home to approximately 203,500 people living on a land area of 40 square kilometres. Portsmouth is very built up and with an average density of 5,000 people per km2 is the most densely populated city in the UK outside of London.
Portsmouth is an important centre providing employment, shopping, leisure, health care and higher education facilities serving the South Hampshire sub region. The city's university has expanded and now attracts students from across the country and around the globe.
Portsmouth is well connected to Europe, London and the wider sub region by rail, road, air and ferry and is one of the few cities in Britain to have a motorway, the M275, providing direct access into the city centre.

Coming over to New Zealand I hadn't really planned on doing too many hikes. Since this expedition was more about surfing and snowboarding I wasn't really interested in doing any more walks after the amazing Milford Track which is considered one of the most beautiful walks in the world, and after doing it, I can see why.
However, I was told of a day walk on the north island that was suppose to be New Zealands best day hike, and it went across the Tangariro National park which is basically a massive volcanic area that has several peaks, one of which was used as Mount Doom in Lord of the Rings.
I drove down from Auckland mid week to the center of the North Island south of Lake Taupo. I arrived late, around 8 pm and decided to sleep in the van at the car park at the end of the track. I had arranged a ride from the end of the track to the beginning so I could just walk back to the van. It generally takes 6-8 hours to complete the track and goes over 2 volcanic peaks over a 18.5 K (11.5 miles).
I made a quick dinner and had the back of the van open for about 30 min while I cooked at dusk, which was a big mistake because the mosquitoes where vicious and huge. The whole night I was awoken by buzzing in my ear, and had to use a flashlight to try and find them. I must have killed 30 throughout the night.
The next morning I was picked up by a shuttle and driven to the start of the track about 22 k away around the volcanic pass. I started the walk with about 50 people around 9 a.m.
The morning and beginning of the track was fairly clear and sunny, but as we climbed up to the pass the clouds rolled in and socked in most of the good views of Mount Ruapehu and the summit walk to Mt Ngauruhoe. I was pretty annoyed wit the cloud cover, and knew I was missing some spectacular views.
Once over the pass, we walked out to a huge flat crater. At times is was so foggy I couldn't see feet in front of me. Once in a while the cloud would blow through and a clearing would open up, and the scale of the place could be felt.
Once through the crater we climbed up onto the Red Crater. This massive hole in the ground would be what one would think a volcanic crater would look like.
We walked up and over the Red Crater and descended down a steep ash slope to emerald pools.
The rest of the walk was out and down the volcanic plane and down the backside of the mountain through bush and then forest and finally back to the van. It took me 7 hours and several blisters.
