Hold on to your peanuts and crackerjacks, D-Lover, we're going back old to the old ball game this week on We Want The D. Rather than a scrappy underdog story that Disney tends to love for their sports movies, however, MILLION DOLLAR ARM centers mostly on a successful sports agent who hit a bit of a rough patch, and may have to sell his very large LA home or perhaps even his luxury sports car if he can't find two young Indian boys to exploit for his own personal gain. In an unexpected twist, this film is actually based on a rather wholesome story that Disney had to dirty up a bit to make dramatically interesting; but the results are mixed, to say the least. We'll try not to hold that one strike against them.

When Mother Abbess from The Sound of Music told us to "climb every mountain" she probably wasn't talking about the Matterhorn; or as it's called in Disney's THIRD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN, the Citadel. But don't try to tell young(ish) Rudi Matt that, even though his own father was killed while climbing its treacherous slopes. No sir, climbing is in Rudi's blood, so no amount of stern gazes from a hard-faced uncle, cautious lessons from his father's old partner, or flirtatious looks from his super-great sweetheart will deter him. It's another on-location stunt-spectacular of classic live action Disney and our hosts couldn't be more pleased.

Disney hits more than a few stumbling block with the early-80s entry THE LAST FLIGHT OF NOAH'S ARK. Just entering the period where they attempt to create less kid-friendly fare, instead they let the children and animals fade into the background while focusing on an unconvincing love story between Elliott Gould and French Canadian actress Geneviève Bujold, a pair of Japanese Stragglers, and a truly awful, just awful song. What could have been basically Six Days, Seven Nights nearly two decades early turns out to be one of the most confounding movies we've watched so far.

As students head back to school after summer vacation, our hosts are heading back to Medfield Collage along with Dexter Riley, Schuyler, Dean Higgins, Girl and the rest of the gang in Disney's THE COMPUTER WORE TENNIS SHOES. But like students in a 8:30AM lecture, Vicky, Nolan and Jill are having a little trouble focusing on this movie's particular brand of hijinks, and wind up going on some detours into Game of Thrones, Canadian women's magazine Chatelaine, the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, and Austin Powers to name just a few.
