HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE NEVER ENDING STORY 2 FROM DVDTALK

The Movie:
After the original "Neverending Story" gained an even wider cult following after its massively successful theatrical release in 1984, it became apparent that a sequel might not be out of the question. Director Wolfgang Peterson ("Air Force One", "Perfect Storm") did not come back, nor did any members of the main cast, who had obviously grown up beyond their characters at that point. The results of this 1990 effort aren't quite as imaginative or interesting, but the film still has its moments.
Bastian (this time, played by Jonathan Brandis of the "Seaquest" series) finds himself generally in the same place this time around. He's still not getting along with with the other children in school and this time, he's starting to become at odds with his father. Again, he seeks out the old man's bookstore and, soon, hears the pleas of the Childlike Empress asking the young lad to return to Fantasia and save the day with his imagination once more. The first half seems like simply a Wizard of Oz clone merged with the opportunity to reintroduce the favorite characters from the first picture. Sebastian finds himself with the ability to grant wishes, but not only do his wishes not go well, they're being controlled by an evil witch. Every time Sebastian makes a wish, the witch takes away one of his memories - until he's left with no more. Joined again by Atreyu (Kenny Morrison this time), he sets out to save Fantasia before his memories are wiped clean. Characters like Falcor and Rockbiter make brief cameos.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE NEVER ENDING STORY FROM IMDB

Bastian is a young boy who lives a dreary life being tormented by school bullies. On one such occasion he escapes into a book shop where the old proprieter reveals an ancient story-book to him, which he is warned can be dangerous. Shortly after, he "borrows" the book and begins to read it in the school attic where he is drawn into the mythical land of Fantasia, which desperately needs a hero to save it from destruction. Written by Graeme Roy {gsr@cbmamiga.demon.co.uk}

An unhappy boy is bullied by older youths and seeks sanctuary in a bookstore. The owner gives him a magic book in which he is able to follow the adventures of a boy who is everything he believe he is not, brave, strong, successful. He begins to understand that he is a part of the story and that the survival of the world about which he has been reading is in part up to him. Written by John Vogel {jlvogel@comcast.net}

Pursued by bullies, dreamy Bastian, 10, flees into a used book store where a strange leather-bound volume attracts him. The owner warns him away from it, explaining that it is dangerous: once entering its world, the reader cannot escape. Bastian borrows the now irresistable book and hides in the school attic. He reads of a beautiful, doomed land named Fantasia, and a brave boy desperately anointed by the princess to stop its mysterious ongoing destruction. Drawn into young Atreyu's quest as with no other book, Bastian discovers astonished that the Fantasians hear Bastian scream and see Bastian in mirrors. Where is Fantasia, and where is he? Can Atreyu save Fantasia, or is the princess really summoning Bastian himself? Written by Paul Emmons {pemmons@wcupa.edu}

The Movie:
I'll always be pleased that my generation seems to be the last one to receive quality family entertainment. Princess Bride, Secret Of Nimh, Goonies, Neverending Story, the list goes onwards. These are pictures that simply aren't made anymore, as studios recognize that flashy animation is certainly cheaper and can return a quick profit. As for the group I've mentioned, "Story" remains one of the best of the breed, a suprisingly creative and inspiring picture that remains as enjoyable for adults as it does for children. It also contains a wonderful message that isn't presented in a heavy-handed way. Suprisingly, it was directed by Wolfgang Petersen, who has been responsible for the classic submarine picture "Das Boot", as well as recent films like "The Perfect Storm". The film stars Barret Oliver as Bastian, a small boy who is attacked by bullies on his way to class and ends up in a bookstore. The owner doesn't like children, but the two eventually discuss books, including a certain book that the shopowner has in his posession. When the keeper's head is turned away, Bastian runs off with the book, but he finds that he's late for class. Hiding out in the school's attic, he begins to read and finds himself involved in a fantasy world called Fantasia. The creatures of Fantasia are an interesting bunch: a rock-biter that eats various kinds of rocks, a racing snail, a flying dragon named Falcor, an anicent turtle and others. Not all is right in the land though, as an evil force called "the Nothing" is sweeping over the land and destroying it. The princess of Fantasia has fallen ill and a young warrior named Atreyu (Noah Hathaway) to find a way to stop "the Nothing" from destroying their world. Meanwhile, Bastian finds that he's a part of their adventures, even though he's never left the room in the schoolhouse.

THE LAST LEGION NOW AVAILABLE

THE LAST LEGION NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE THE LAST LEGION FROM IMDB

As the Roman empire crumbles, young Romulus Augustus flees the city and embarks on a perilous voyage to Britain to track down a legion of supporters.

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE LAST LEGION FROM DVDTALK

Swashbuckle is in curious short supply in "Last Legion," a mythology-flavored fantasy epic from Dino De Laurentiis's epic factory, tossed unmercifully into US theaters this weekend with only a wisp of marketing and no press screenings. Treatment typically associated with the kiss of death, "Legion" actually holds a small spark of pleasing adventure, making it passable matinee fare, just don't ask too much from it.

In the declining days of Rome, a young king named Romulus (Thomas Sangster, "Love Actually") is crowned. When evil forces storm the city, the boy, protected by royal officer Aurelius (Colin Firth), is taken to the countryside to find safety with his mentor, Ambrosinus (Ben Kingsley). When it's learned that most Roman forces have been eliminated, it's up to Aurelius to lead his band of men, along with a strange warrior from a foreign land (Aishwarya Rai), to a safe harbor where they can regroup and prepare to fight back. Along the way, Romulus discovers his destiny when he uncovers a special sword called Excalibur, meant only for the bravest of leaders.

There's considerable proof throughout "Last Legion" that some serious coin was spent to bring this peculiar story to the screen. The production didn't skimp out on the details, mounting a lavish costume spectacle that's ready to rumble, yet is assigned a lumbering story to sort out. Frightened to lean too heavily towards the fantasy elements of the plot, "Legion" crumbles when it focuses on banal Roman political maneuvering. There's a multitude of sniveling double-crosses and protracted battle planning in the script, which doesn't hold much interest. With actors in bad wigs and covered in ornate battle armor, taking elongated breaks between the action beats to chat endlessly about political allegiances seems to defeat the purpose of this gallant affair.
