James and the Giant Peach & Flight of the Navigator

James and the Giant Peach has bad songs, and the live action sections are full of overacting. But the stop animation work is typically brilliant Henry Selick. I probably should have seen this film years ago, but thanks Netflix.

Flight of the Navigator is another film I am pretty sure I had seen before, but I don't really remember it at all. So I watched it again, and realized that it's actually a pretty good kids film. Who knew that Disney was capable? And Sarah Jessica Parker all-80s'd up? Well, not really attractive. But I still wish that Four Weddings and a Funeral had costarred her instead of Andie MacDowell, or Jeanne Tripplehorn for that matter. Anyone other than Andie MacDowell. So bad.
