Movie Review: Child's Carnage
Summary: 3 Stars
On the surface, this is a pretty good movie. It's the story of technology gone bad as robotic children's playthings go overboard and decide to start trying to wipe out basically anything in sight. Their supposed enemies, the Gorgonite toys, are peaceful so help the humans stave off the onslaught in a nice action/adventure setting. It has technophobia and adventure, so it's a pretty fun ride at the least.
However, it kind of undermines its own themes in that way. We are treated to a generally high level of technophobia and antimaterialistic ideas ("putting military technology in toys?" "My dad doesn't want any war-toys in his shop") plus a general disdain for the violence in children's entertainment, but then the movie proceeds to be a special-effects bonanza of explosions. In fact, while it seems to be mostly a sort of combined Child's play/Gremlins for children, it turns out to be probably one of the most violent movies they could watch.
Some images are even a little disturbing, such as the Barbie-doll soldiers with their warped faces or the level of carnage that occurs to some of the individual toys. Indeed, it's hard to say quite what demographic this movie is for... probably for kids between the ages of 12 and 15. At any rate, for children younger than that, I'd strongly suggest parental supervision while watching it.
As for the aesthetic values of this film, it's not much on the acting, writing, or directing brilliance, but it certainly is effective at what it does.

Movie Review: small soldiers fun
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a underrated movie that should get more play on tv, this is where I first saw it, it caught my attention while doing the channel surfing that we all do, and it was so interesting looking I watched the whole thing, this same circumstance happened twice, so I decided to buy it and am happy with it,I'm sure my daughter and son would enjoy it as did I and my wife , our children are grown up, but I think if your child is 5 or younger they could have possibly a negative time of it.It is a very enjoyable movie, a little slow to get off the ground at the start, but it moves along quite good after it gets going.A fun show.Movie Review: Small Soldiers Rocks
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a terrific fun film that the whole family enjoyed. Our six children ranged in age from about 8-adult the first time we saw it and everyone laughed and tensed and had a great family night with popcorn and conversation afterwards. The robotic animation of the toy characters was superb and the concept believable to the extent that everyone was able to get lost in the fantasy for 1 1/2 hours of good fun.Movie Review: Small Soldiers

Summary: 4 Stars
Action packed adventure. A movie the whole family will enjoy. I loved all of the Gorgonites. Each one is unique. After watching the movie once, we needed to find it to buy we liked it so much. Had a lot of comedy.
