Whole new generation of kiddies Fox video which already has 20 of temples movies on video thinks it has come up with an answer color and marketing. If a movie is not in color Many of today a tots lose interest in it after a few minutes. And the movie has to be marketed to them a and their parents a in such a Way As to make it a must see.

The first of foxes colonized and repackaged Temple movies have hit the Market a he i 1937bright eyes 1934 and dimples 1936a new one will come put on the first wednesday of every month until All 20 Are released. The shrewdest marketing ploy though is hitching temples Star to mrs. Doubtfire which Fox video has also released on video. There s not Only a rebate program linking the Temple movies to mrs. Doubt fire but the Robin Williams comedy also includes a trailer for the colonized series. Behind All this Temple sunni Ness Lurk storm Clouds. _ a in today a kiddie oriented videos painstaking care is taken to make sure that children see Only images of racial Equality. In the Temple movies though that a not the Case. Black actors such As Stepin Fet chit Willie Best and Bill Robinson Are routinely presented in roles that by today a standards Are demeaning stereotypes. Bruce Pfander senior vice president for marketing at Fox video says the company has received no. Complaints about racism in the Temple movies which have been very profitable on video in the Black and White versions. A. Quot after All these years no one has complained to us that the movies Are offensive a he said. A if there had been complaints we would never repackage and re promote these movies. The last thing we want to do is offend anybody a. Anticipating a problem though Fox video had the movies rated. So if you buy the Temple movies Check the ratings. Heidi for instance is a a which Means there a nothing deemed potentially offensive in it. But dimples which features Stepin fetch it gets a pm a for historical racial stereotyping Bright eyes also has a pm rating.

The stars Are miscast and the script is bad. Flesh end done Paramount. When this came out Industry insiders dubbed it flesh and bore its about an uptight texan Dennis Quaid whose father James Caan murdered a farm family. The texan gets involved with a woman Meg Ryan who is strangely linked to his past. The Saint of fort Washington Warner. Realistic informative look at the homeless scene set in a buddy movie format. A wily Vietnam vet Danny Glover takes a gentle schizophrenic Matt Dillon under his Wing and teaches him How to live on the new York streets. This fairly simple tale of their relationship is somewhat Hollywood Zed but is still a decent drama. Another stakeout Touchstone nowhere near As entertaining As the 1987 original. Richard Drey fuss and Emilio Estevez again play buddy cops this time trying to find a fugitive Federal witness Cathy Moriarty. A Novice assistant District attorney Rosie of Donnell is added to the undercover operation. Only mildly funny. It happens every Spring Fox video.
