Happy Days: 30th Anniversary Reunion (2005)
Brought back lot of memories
It was so nice to see all those stars from one of my favorite sitcoms. I enjoyed seeing these folks as they look today. The special was not just some collections of clips from the old series. It included stories about the people that were a part of that adventure. And Gary Marshall was there to add his perspective and insights. It was interesting to hear about his interaction with his cast.
Henry Winkler's "home movies" showed us things that have not been seen before. He had little gems that he shot over the full eleven years the show was produced.
I particularly enjoyed the stories about their softball team. They played in many locations including games against the troops overseas. It was fun to see who was the star player and who was not. I won't spoil that here. I'll just say that being one of the more significant cast members did not mean you were also one of the more significant softball players.
And while this was not just a re-hashing of clips from old shows, it did include some highlights. I saw characters I had forgotten. I'm going to have to watch the local TV schedule for some repeats. Happy Days will always be one of the best TV series ever made.
Analyze This (1999)
Good movie is even better without all the foul language
The first time I saw this movie was on an airline flight. The version shown was obviously edited to cut down on the foul language and make the movie more appropriate for an airplane audience (with younger viewers). First I have to say I was quite impressed that the edit was as well done as it was. However, the main thing that I noticed was that it was a very good and entertaining movie, without having to employ foul language. The version of the movie that one sees when you rent at a video store is not this editted cut that I got to enjoy. It is still a fine movie, but I prefer the cleaned up version.
The casting was great. De Niro and Crystal were wonderfully cast for their roles. I will be watching for the sequel, "Analyze That" (2002). I hope they think about producing this movie without the un-necessarily foul language.
