4 out of 5 stars Can you see beyond the casting differences?.......2007-10-03

As a true Waltons fan I thought it my duty to purchase this DVD and so I recently did. One cannot help but make comparisons between the 'original' cast and the 'actual' cast in the series. Apart from the children and grandma Walton all characters are different and because the series' characters have had so much stronger presence the 'original' cast does not stand much of a chance of winning anyone over. The Baldwin sisters in this film look much more like sisters but one gets the feeling that they are less endearing.
Olivia in this film seems almost like a 'psycho', I am sorry if this seems harsh but at one stage John-boy appears almost frightened of her as she seems to be losing it. I wonder how she got through the original casting or perhaps the series' character in the script changed somewhat. Michael Learned is the true heart of the series so Patricia Neal probably never stood a chance.

In summary, the film re-affirms the characters in the series and the series itself and I would suggest any hardy Waltons fan to watch it but don't spend more than £3 on the DVD as it is probably not worth it. You will want to watch it once but not again.

Here is my theory, watch out for mother Walton - she is really someone who absconded from a psychiatric ward and assumed another identity as a housewife and mother; luckily, before series one started, they found her out and returned her safely. Father Walton, Grandpa and all the rest of the townsfolk were all in with the cover up plot so they all got done for and were not accepted on to the TV series.

5 out of 5 stars Naked Brothers Band.......2007-07-25

This movie is about two real-life brothers, Nat and Alex Wolff, who at only 9 and 6 years old are already musical stars. Having formed their band, The Silver Boulders, when they were in pre-school, the brothers and their friends play all over the States and in this 'rock-umentary', the cameras follow them as they live their rock band lifestyle. The band goes through some tension, and three of the band members split off and form their own, streamlined 'Gold Boulders' group, and its then when the Wolff brothers decide to go back to the old band - the Naked Brothers Band. Will they be successful on tour?

I really love this movie - I'm 14 and it seems strange that I should enjoy something so 'childish', but its good, innocent fun. The acting is a little amateur in parts, but there is definately a feel good feeling about this product. I have watched it time and time again - there's laughs, heartache, and some original songs, too! Watch it.
