 Times & Free Press Movie Reviews: "Flipper"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
"Flipper "is back, bearing good news for children as well as those adults who can allow themselves to enjoy a slice of unsophisticated entertainment.
This 1996 movie interpretation of the world's most lovable sea mammal (sorry about that, Willy) is crafted sturdily, with enough thrills, sentiment and ocean scenery to please the entire family.
Even though the plot turns are as predictable as rain in the tropics, it's still heartwarming to watch how Flipper transforms the boy, forms a bond between nephew and uncle, cures a young island boy of his shyness, and wins the support of a lovely girl (Jessica Wesson).

 MMI Review: Flipper (1996)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Except for a pretty blonde named Kim, (played by Jessica Wesson) there are no attractions on the island that mean anything to Sandy until Flipper enters his life and he falls head over heels for the playful dolphin.
It has all the elements: A good-looking and likable hero who chafes under adult authority (Wood), a mean and nasty-looking villain who wants to hurt the Dolphins (Jonathan Banks) and, for comedy relief, the always nutty Hogan whose character lives on SpaghettiOs and thrives in squalid surroundings.
"Flipper" may not be equally appreciated by the parents who bring their kids to see it, but as wholesome family fare goes, it's inoffensive & relatively painless.

Her research soon reveals that pesticide residues are polluting the ocean and killing the fish.
After Flipper turns up looking distinctly green around the gills and Sandy spots the villainous Moran dumping barrels from the back of his boat late at night, the plot begins to thicken.
It is well suited to the mood of the film, with alternate passages of suspenseful strings for the more sombre moments, sweeping strings when swimming with Flipper and twangy Shadows style guitar sounds when Hogan struts his stuff aboard his boat.

 Se7en: Platinum Series (1995)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Actually, I recently watched the movie with a friend who never saw it and knew little about it, and I really envied her; I’d love to be able to watch this film without any foreknowledge of the events.
Ultimately, I find the movie to be an absolutely stunning experience that packs an immense wallop through its terrific combination of stark and startling visuals, some perfectly-rendered performances and a creative and lively story.
These two offer a lot of great anecdotes and information about the creation of the movie, and they don’t shy away from honestly criticizing aspects of the work; this clearly isn’t one of those “happy talk” commentaries that simply gushes about how great everything was.

Those are the two fundamental messages hammered home by the latest lamebrained incarnation of Flipper, a movie that has a lot of good intentions, but very little else.
Based on the 1963 movie which spawned a television series, Flipper has all the formula ingredients that saturate '90s family films.
Flipper is calculated, market-driven entertainment -- recycled formulas staking out the early summer family film niche in hopes of making money.

 Flipper - Movie Review
For a children’s movie released when Disney’s family-friendly film factory was cranking out sugary Hayley Mills movies every six months, Flipper is refreshingly earthy.
Later, the busy dolphin was asked to perform weekly heroics in a TV version in which the mother was killed off, a smart alecky brother was added, and Connors was replaced by a less terrifying father.
Forty years on, Flipper still has what it takes to entertain today’s jaded kids — at least the younger ones — as successfully as it entertained their parents.

 Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles - Movie Preview
The sequel did only slightly less well ($250 million worldwide), but then Hoges announced he was going to hang up his boots and his that’s-what-I-call-a-knife thereafter, take it easy on his substantial share of the proceeds, and make only the occasional return to the movie screen.
But it was on one of those occasional returns to the screen - the 1996 movie Flipper - that Hogan met a person every bit as persistent as a Walkabout Creek crocodile: Flipper’s executive producer, Lance Hool.
Wincer describes himself as “the new boy on the block”: even though he has been friends with the star for years, this is his first ‘Crocodile’ Dundee movie (he did, however, direct Hogan in Lightning Jack).

 What to put in a new Combat! Movie: Wed May 29, 1996
Not that I will be the final say on "Combat" the movie, but I promise on my honor, cross my heart, to make sure Sergeant Saunders does not turn traitor in the movie.
Saunders is the leading character in the movie and his destiny is strictly G.I. I don't blame the worry warts about destroying the "Combat" legend with a crummy movie.
There have been a number of crummy films from TV shows and I'm hoping that "Combat" will be closer to "The Fugitive" and "The Untouchables" than "Flipper" and "Car 54 Where Are You." One positive note: "Mission Impossible" is a Paramount film which now owns the "Combat" movie rights.

It was one of the stops on my and my sister Anna's marathon movie days, and not much shows first thing in the morning but kid movies, so if I'm gunna see a crappy kid movie it might as well have Paul Hogan and Elijah in it.
In this coming of age animal buddy movie, Elijah is sent from Chicago to the Florida keys to straighten up for the summer.
For example, this is a MUCH better movie for kids than the butchery that is the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

The surprise hit of the summer of 1963, Flipper is a thoroughly captivating outdoor adventure from the Ivan Tors factory.
After "Flipper" rescues Sandy from a shark, however, the boy grants the dolphin his freedom.
Ideally suited for audiences of all ages, Flipper was fully deserving of its success; within a year, it had spawned a theatrical sequel and a long-running TV series, which, like the film, cast Suzy the Dolphin as the "hero" Flipper.

This classic children's story was a long time coming (decades in fact) to the big screen after a very successful run as a TV series and, unfortunately, it didn't get a lot of good response from critics.
However, it is fair to say that many critics are a pack of duffers and in this lad's point of view Flipper is a pretty good kids' movie.
It is nothing taxing to sit and watch Flipper with the kids and the location will make you drool and dream of a seachange in lifestyle.

I also learned that they have been making costumes since at least the late '50s and that Ben Cooper was still making costumes as late as the early '90s.
Most of the costumes are based on TV and movie stars but some are generic like a pirate, witch or a devil.
The great thing about collecting costumes is that they are affordable, often $15-$30 and they are a great representation of pop culture.
