Advantages: Funny, Good Acting and of course Colin Firth
Disadvantages: None

...Darcy because he loves just the way she is. But did you manage to catch this one where Colin Firth takes on the role of Worthing who pretends to be his non-exsistant brother Earnest whenever he wants to get away from his rather responsible lifestyle in the country and have fun in the city. Of course prior to doing Bridget Jones, Colin was best known for his part as Mr Darcy in the period piece Pride and Prejudice, which is where his surname came ...
...suprise to see Colin take the lead role in the first cinematic version of the stage play and book by Oscar Wilde. I have to say though that I'm not a great fan of period pieces and all the Jane Austen adaptions have been well and truly missed by me, except of course a quick peak at the infamous lake scene in Pride and Prejudice to see what all the fuss was about. Well my love for Colin Firth was greater than my dislike of period pieces on this occassion ... Read review

Advantages: Full Of Christmassy Fun For Kids
Disadvantages: Not As Good As The First Film

I have seen this and the original Santa Claus Film many many times (my 4 yr old being a huge fan of both <sigh>) I admit to enjoying "The Santa Clause" and was secretly harbouring a touch of excitement for the release of "The Santa Clause 2" Story We pick up again 8 years later where Santa (Tim Allen) has been happily delivering toys and playing tinsel football with the elves, unknown to him, his life is about to become rather difficult as Judy ...
...Charlie has got himself on the naughty list, and Curtis & Bernard have found that a second claus on the Santa Claus card has been overlooked, which means Santa has only 28 days to find and marry a "Mrs Clause" It is also the annual meeting of the legendary figures (santa / easter bunny / sandman / tooth fairy / mother nature / father time). Unfortunately the de-santafication process has already begun and Santa is starting to revert into Scott Calvin. ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Not Funny, Bad Actors, Bad Storyline and overall shocking.

Home Alone 4 has ruined the Home Alone movies for anyone who has seen this film. It is a disgrace to the other three Home Alone's including the acting of Mcauley Culkin. Home Alone is all about comedy, Home Alone 4 had none of it. The storyline was poor. The actors were shocking and just could not act. Whilst watching it I really did cringe. Compared to recent Home Alone's there were less stunts and traps for the baddies. This film just lacked some ...
...and overall they were poor, Kevin Mcallister, the child just lacked personality and just couldn't act. This has put a bad name to Home Alone and if I was a director I would hurry up and make a Home Alone 5 to try and fix the name of Home Alone. ... Read review

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Bit cheesy

The movie stars Mike Myers and deals with the story of a "Hindu" love guru tasked to save the marriage of a Toronto Mapleleafs hockey player before it eventually ruins the team's chances of winning the Stanley Cup. Yes, that's the synopsis of the movie. If you think it sounds shallow and unfunny, well you've hit the nail right on the head. People who were expecting the kind of gross but ultimately super-funny gags and sequences in Myers' Austin ... Read review

Advantages: Good acting
Disadvantages: N/A

Big forehead Reese Witherspoon plays (implausibly) a workaholic doctor who seems to retain her Barbie-like prettiness despite working without sleep. She can't get a date (again, yeah right) and is on her way to visit someone when she gets smacked by a car. Fast forward to sometime later and we meet Mark Ruffalo, who happens to be the new tenant in Witherspoon's apartment. He starts seeing the unknowing ghost of Witherspoon and thus the saccharine-sweet, ... Read review
