Republic. Rated pg-13. Of that Sheen family. What a to Hatct-0 what a to get excited about certainly not cadence a military stomp vehicle directed by daddy Martin and co starring son Charlie with a support performance rom son Ramon Estevez one of the Sheen children who elected to keep the family name. Cadence made it to Heaters and stayed a blink. Originally released through new line Cinema it seemed to be one of those second rate movies intentionally made for the video Market. The movie is yet another talc of a free spirited stubborn private who takes on a mean bigoted sergeant. In this Case pvt. Bean Charlie Sheen lands in the army stockade run by pappa Sheen. The new spin Here is that the stockade is filled with Black soldiers. Bean is White. Not Only docs he have a problem with the sergeant but he also must break into the club run by a Tough but Wise prisoner named Stokes Larry Fishburn. There Are the usual a and stereotypical a Hollywood theatrics of the Tough and Streetwise Blacks challenging the Brash White boy making fun because he has no a a rhythm when he drills. But we shall overcome and they do. Racial Harmony abounds by the end of the movie. Most of the movie is focused on the relationship Between Sheen and Sheen. The sergeant thinks of the Young private As his son and wishes to beat him into submission into behaving like a son. It is Here that the elder Sheen succeeds As a director. The confrontations Hel when the two Are realistically charged and tense the sergeants mental disintegration is appropriate. Fishburn King of new York the color purple is terrific support As Stokes and James Marshall twin peaks is Fine As the compassionate my. Cadence was based on Gordon weavers novel count a lonely cadence. March of the wooden soldiers. Good times. Not rated. Originally titled babes in toy and this Laurel and Hardy Gem unfortunately has been colonized. If you can get around the disturbing and unreal tints you la still enjoy the innocence freshness and humor of this Sweet fantasy. Stan and Ollie live in the land of old King Cole. Their friends and neighbors Are the three Little pigs Little to Peep. Well you get the picture. As for the lads they work for the to maker As his bumbling assistants. As the to maker rushes to get the Christmas order ready Stan and Ollie commit the biggest Blunder of All they confuse the dimensions of the toy soldiers and produce Man size dolls. More on that later. Evil lurks in the land of sweetness. Its the bogeymen and their Leader. Hiss. Boo. Anyway his meanness kidnaps one of the porkers and plants sausage at the Home of to Tom to peeps Boyfriend. Tom Tom is convicted of killing a pig and is banished to bogy land. But Stan and Ollie and All those wooden soldiers come to the Rescue and save the town. One of the funniest scenes in the movie is watching Stan shoot the bogeymen with one of his Homespun devices by tapping a Dart and then batting it in the air. There slots of fun throughout and great use of the fairy tale characters a especially the three pigs. A forget the Sappy songs. Made in 1934 and running under 90 minutes March of the wooden soldiers is a wonderful Tanovic to drag out at Holiday time for the entire family. But try and buy the original Black and White version.
