DAY 1 - MOVIE

MOVIE: BMX Bandits (1983)

BMX Bandits is an Australian movie that showed up in the U.S. in 1983 when BMX Racing was all the rage. It stars the talented actress Nicole Kidman in probably her 1st role ever. I will be rating my movies on a 5 check mark rating. The ratings are below. I would have to give BMX Bandits a rating of (aaa) due to the fact that it was overall a good movie, but would have been better during its time. When this came out, I was 10 and my little brother was 3. At the age of 10 I was really into the BMX phase and so wanted the plastic mag wheels for my bike. My friends and I would set up ramps and ride down the street doing tricks on our bikes. This was the way it was and it was cool. THEN. Watching it today, the acting was pretty bad and the sound effects were awful. The plot was mildly interesting and it was rated G and basically geared towards kids and teens. Although I did find a few things interesting. The kids stole walkie-talkies that the bank robbers were going to use for another job and Nicole Kidman's character told the BOSS this when asked where the walkie-talkies were. "Your walkie-talkies have gone walkies." Plus you can't beat a movie based for children that has a priest in a sexually inappropriate position with a blowup doll. You can find this possibly at Wal-Mart in the $1 movies or you might have to pay a little more online. If you want to reminisce about the strange days of the '80's than this might be an enjoyable watch for you.

Movie Ratings:

aaaaa = Great movie. A must see.

aaaa = Very good movie. If you haven't seen it, you should. If you have seen it, watch it again.

aaa = Good Movie. Enjoyable to watch.

(If older movie) Probably better at time it was made, but doesn't stand up today.

aa = Not So Good. Don't really wish I had my time back, but was bored most of the time.

a = Horrible. Wish I had my time and/money back. Don't waste your time.
