It's been a bit chaotic in my world ...Hi Dell,<br /><br />It's been a bit chaotic in my world of late and I see I missed your birthday so let me start with belated best wishes. Hope the birthday was great and you were able to do something that was tons of fun.<br /><br />Well these are terrible piles to be sure! I have seen Meatballs II mistakenly thinking that any movie with expert comic actors Richard Mulligan and John Larroquette couldn't be too bad. I was so very wrong. <br /><br />AP-Band Camp was streaming late one night and I couldn't sleep, so again I thought how bad can it be? Wretched that's how bad, I did nod off though so it wasn't a total loss!<br /><br />I too hate Ernest and have never even contemplated watching one of those things he made.<br /><br />I can see how spending the summer with the kiddies would make you reluctant to watch films about them but never having been to camp myself I enjoy films about it. I'm happy to say I've found three that are much higher quality than yours.<br /><br />Camp (2003)-At Camp Ovation, a summer theatre camp for young performers, a diverse group of kids come together and though at first there are tensions they eventually form close friendships. During their time there they also influence one of the counselors who has grown bitter with regret to move forward with his life. Because the film is just a little rough around the edges it makes the story and the kids much more real.<br /><br />Indian Summer (1993)-A group of young adults (including Diane Lane, Bill Paxton and Elizabeth Perkins) gather at Camp Tamakwa outside Ontario where they spent their summers as kids for a 20th reunion. While they spend time reminiscing they also deal with problems of their present lives and try and find a way to keep the camp from closing down permanently.<br /><br />Marjorie Morningstar (1958)-Beautiful college student Marjorie Morgenstern (Natalie Wood) spends her summer as a camp counselor at a Catskills resort. While there she becomes enamored with a performer at the camp, Noel Airman (Gene Kelly) a caddish older man who doesn’t take the romance seriously. Returning home Marjorie is pressured by her parents to marry and settle down. Still carrying a torch for Noel she pursues an acting career as Marjorie Morningstar while trying to make a relationship with the older man work. Various complications ensue including her Jewish parents objections to the Gentile Noel. Adaptation of a Herman Wouk novel has a rich studio look and a great cast, aside from Natalie and Gene there’s Claire Trevor, Carolyn Jones, Martin Balsam and a host of recognizable character actors. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-49050348490857593292016-07-21T08:21:44.277-04:002016-07-21T08:21:44.277-04:00I've never seen these, but I always wondered w...I've never seen these, but I always wondered why Levy was in those DVD sequels?

The former doesn't have the spirit of the first film despite Pee-Wee Herman's appearance while the latter is just awful because of the guy trying to be Seann William Scott in the worse way. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
