SMALL SOLDIERS
starstarstarstar
Back in Gremlins territory once again, director Joe Dante keeps this hugely clever trifle about an assortment of toy soldiers animated by high-tech munitions chips moving at a brisk clip. The dialogue is full of clever homages, the special effects are first rate, and the voice cast, which includes Tommy Lee Jones, Ernest Borgnine, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Christina Ricci, is a delight. Read the complete review for Small Soldiers
When a high tech arms company tries to turn its talents to peaceful products, the action figures they make come to life and not all of them are nice. The boy who discovers the problem is the only one who realizes that you've got to fight fire with fire and helps the good toys in their battle against the mercenary midgits.

After the defense industry firm Globotech takes over a small toy company, Heartland Play Systems' CEO Gil Mars (Denis Leary) gives the green light to develop a new line of action figures, requesting an upgrade to more realistic figures from Heartland toy designers Larry Benson (Jay Mohr) and fumbling Irwin Wayfair (David Cross). Mars wants toys that act like the ones in TV commercials. The results are fierce fighting figures, the Commando Elite, programmed to seek out and destroy the kindly alien-like Gorgonites. In an effort to make the toys as natural as possible, Benson inserts Globotech's most powerful military computer chips. When the Gorgonite leader Archer (voice of Frank Langella) begins communicating with Alan, it causes the Commandos to perceive humans as another enemy, simply by their association with the "Gorgonite scum," so an attack on the Abernathy house begins. Unfortunately, the Gorgonites can offer only limited assistance, since they have been programmed to lose.
