Short Circuit (Special Edition)

Summary: This Movie Rules!
Review: This movie is by far the ultimate classic 80's movie. It haspretty good effects, a good story line, and who can forget Ally Sheedy.... I recommend buying the movie. If you don't buy it for yourself, buy it for your kids.

Rating:
Summary: Cute, sweet and innocent
Review: This one is suitable for children and adults, or anything inbetween. I can't think of many films where I thought a robot actually had a realistic personality, but this is one of them. Actually it's at the top of the list. And Johnny Five is a riot. So is Fisher Stevens, who's mangling of the English language is the funniest thing in the movie (the sequel, which showcased Stevens, is actually better than this movie).

Summary: Don't even bother....
Review: wasting your time on this lump of corn-fed ... matter. It's sooooo badI thought that it might've ruined Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy'scareers....wait a minute! It did ruin their careers! Do the world afavor and ignore it! Let it fade away into "The Hell Of BadFamily Movie Ideas" like Police Academy: Mission to Moscow andThe Wizard

Summary: A Classic!
Review: Well, I didn't think this movie would be that good. How wrong could I be?! The movie's about a robot named Number 5 (who later renames himself "Johnny 5"). Number Five gets hit by lightning and escapes from Nova Robotics (the company that made him). He wanders around Oregon for a while. Then he meets and befriends Stephanie (Ally Sheedy). She has a house just FULL of animals. Stephanie thinks Number 5 is alien, until she sees the Nove branding on him. Number Five asks for a lot of "Input." He watches a lot of TV and gets a lot of "input." He even learns about death (or as Number Five puts it, "disassemeled"). Then he learns that Nova wants to destroy him! He runs away in Stephanie's truck and later in a Nova van (he can drive!). This is very funny and something you won't want to miss. A family classic.

RATED PG/TriStar/Also starring Steve Guttenberg/1986

Summary: Cute
Review: While demonstrating the latest in automated warriors, one of them (number 5), gets arbitrarily struck by lightning, hence "Short Circuit." It (he) escapes the compound and is befriended by a ditzy mobile caterer (Ally Sheedy.)
Here is how it goes:
She mistakes the robot for an alien.
He learns what it is to be alive.
Security wants it dismantled before it takes their place.
However we know "it just runs programs" (yah right)

Will Ally discover her mistake?
Will the robot escape.
Can they recover it before it blows something up?

Careful you may find yourself rooting for Johnny Five.
