Some years ago this strange little cartoon appeared on the scene, it features three kindergarten girls with special powers. I never much cared for it, but I saw the film on the list so I thought I'd see if I'd changed my mind. Nope.

I think it's probably bad for kids as well as annoying. In one episode the girls beg the teacher to beat up the bad guys. Sends a bad message to little kids and wouldn't entertain mom and dad. Avoid.

I put the IMDB for the whole series, but found the DVD on Amazon.

Library: Coquille

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0175058/

Amazon: The Powerpuff Girls - Down 'N' Dirty


Mike Myers just missed the boat on this one. He turned a beloved story into a creepy unfunny scare fest. I think he just forced the whole film. Avoid

Library: DVD; Coquille. VHS; Dora & Coquille

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312528/

Amazon: Dr. Seuss' The Cat In The Hat (Widescreen Edition)


A kid being raised by his granddad has a dragon for a pet. The rubber suited beastie and stupid mythology just didn't hold together enough to entertain. Avoid.

Amazon: Dragon World: The Legend Continues


So BAD! Nothing worked in this film. Not the acting, not the animation, not the plot and definitely not the casting. What a waste of talent. I can't believe Robert De Niro, Jason Alexander, Rene Russo and finally Piper Perabo agreed to do this STINKER.

Amazon: The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle


Yet another attempt at a live action from a cartoon. Brendan Fraser was well cast honestly, but the story just didn't make any sense. They also failed to amuse me and left out the part about Nell being in love with Dudley's horse. I didn't think much of Sarah Jessica Parker or Alfred Molina's performances. I wouldn't waste time with any of these films.
