Mermaids The Body Found: Part II The Evidence

Description: This is part II of the "mock-umentary" Mermaids: The Body Found. To see my review of the first part, check it out here

My Review: First, I would like to discuss what a "mock-umentary" is. This term refers to a documentary that has possible theories, but the actual storyline and people are fictional. In "Mermaids" the theories that were used, such as the aquatic ape theory and the bloop recording are theories that are still being explored, but the scientists were just characters who were part of a storyline. However, I still loved this film and I thought it was created with beautiful effects and left the viewer with a more open mind as to what is in the ocean. I still think Animal Planet should make this a DVD. Tonight, "Mermaids: The New Evidence" was presented a year after its first part was released. I was very excited to watch this. I must say though, I was very disappointed with the way this came out. I was expecting them to put a real scientist on the spot, and not the same actor so we can get some real possibilities and theories. All they kept showing was footage of the CGI merfolk. To be quite honest it started to get annoying. I don't recommend watching this second part, and actually give it only (**) 2 stars. However, please watch the original documentary. It was awesome!

Mr. Peabody and The Mermaid

Rating: NR (not rated)
* dont worry guys! This movie is very clean! *

Run Time: 89 min.
Released: 1948

Summary(imdb.com):
As told to a psychiatrist: Mr. Peabody, middle-aged Bostonian on vacation with his wife in the Caribbean, hears mysterious, wordless singing on an uninhabited rock in the bay. Fishing in the vicinity, he catches...a mermaid. He takes her home and, though she has no spoken language, falls in love with her. Of course, his wife won't believe that thing in the bathtub is anything but a large fish. Predictable complications follow in rather tame fashion. Written by Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

My Review:

Look at that tail and color!
Wow!

I usually never liked to watch black-and-white films, however, if it has a mermaid, I will definitely give it a try! This movie is so sweet, and Lenore the mermaid is absolutely charming and adorable when she is with Mr. Peabody. Even though Ann Blyth has no lines (shes a mermaid! She cant talk), she portrayed her emotions and movements as a mermaid so well.  I really loved the flow of the plot, and nothing was confusing or out of context. I have to say, for a movie that came out in the late 40's, the tail that Ann Blyth (Lenore The Mermaid) had to wear is beautiful! Here is a colored photo I found on Google. The tail is gorgeous and so life-like, very similar to the modern silicone tails of today (maybe this tail was silicone? Not sure!) As with most mermaid movies there are three key elements: The Mermaid, The Plot, and The Romance! Everything tied in so well together, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves black-and-white movies, and to anyone who loves mermaid movies! I give this movie (*****) 5 stars Enjoy!

Aquamarine Movie

  Rating: PG
Run Time:  110 minutes

Summary( Amazon.com)It's the end of summer and Claire (Roberts) and Hailey (JoJo) have a major problem. In just five days, Hailey's family is moving halfway around the world! These girls need a major miracle, and they get one in the form of Aquamarine, a beautiful mermaid who washes ashore in a late summer storm. Sweet but clueless to the ways of romance, she offers to grant the girls one wish if they help her find the boy of her dreams. But when they attempt to reel in the cute local lifeguard, the result is something none of them expect and they discover that sometimes what you wish for isn't what you really want after all!

My Review:
This movie came out when I was a little mergirl at about the age of 13. I wanted to be like Aqua, with her long beautiful hair that had hints of blue, and I constantly wore blue clothes and nails! Even as a young adult I still adore and treasure this movie as part of my mermaid collection. It is really a great movie to watch if you had a bad day, or if you seriously love mermaids like me! Aquamarine the mermaid really lightened my mood after watching this just because she is hysterical when she tries to make moves on Raymond the lifeguard. The end of the movie is very sweet and passionate, and even the romance between Aqua and Raymond made me cry a little. I really recommend this to women of all ages, since we can all relate to it, as well as people who love mermaid movies. I wish I had Aqua's tail too! It's so pretty, take a look!

I give this movie (*****) 5 stars.
PS: Aquamarine is based off the book Aquamarine by Alice Hoffman! Check out my review here! http://mermaidbooks.blogspot.com/2012/05/aquamarine-by-alice-hoffman.html
