remember not to tell luke that his father is darth vader

Advantages: is very funny, actually adapts very well to the story line of the film, can be very entertaining
Disadvantages: is a bit overpriced at some places, not for those easily offended

...it is essentially an extended episode, and at the prices it is availiable at some stores like tesco, an utter rip off. this is definately also not for the children or easily offended, but definately worth purchasing at the right price for fans of both star wars and family guy ...

Review of Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest (DVD)

Friends, partnership and marriage

Advantages: Light-hearted look at being homosexual in today's society
Disadvantages: Not that funny, silly ending

...with the beautiful lawyer? I am not the biggest fan of Adam Sandler and his films; whereas none of them are totally unwatchable, a number of them are distinctly average and not worth more than a quick glance. However, in the mood for something light-hearted, and finding this DVD in Asda for just £2, I succumbed. As far as Sandler is concerned, this is a fairly standard role for him. As Chuck, he is perfectly likeable, despite some rather dubious ...
...the DVD was Kevin James. I really enjoy watching him on screen; I thought he was superb in King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond, and I've enjoyed him in Hitch and, more recently, Paul Blart. Like Sandler, he always tends to play the same role - a likeable loser who has very little luck with the ladies - and that is exactly what Larry is. I still enjoyed his performance though. There is a huge amount of humour surrounding the fact that he is ...

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (DVD)

A saintly film?

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: none really

... The history St Trinian's school was not invented for this film, the film was made around the fictionary girls' boarding created by Ronald Searle. The creation of the school was in response to the Enid Blyton type books which see very well behaved children attending boarding school and having a jolly lovely time! This school, however, sees that the girls who attend this boarding school are the children of crooks and gambling addicts and other ...
...fictional school. St Trinian's 2007 The film I am reviewing is the latst film which was released in 2007. The storyline is based around a girl- Annabelle Fritton who is forced to attend this school by her father, who is the brother of the head mistress- Miss Fritton. The school is intimidating and daunting for Annabelle who soon realises that there are no rules and it is a case of having to find your niche and slotting in with the other ...

Review of St Trinians (DVD)

PS I Love You

Advantages: Nice story, scenes of Ireland
Disadvantages: Not as good as the book

This was definitely a case of loved the book and then was quite excited about it being made into a movie and then was let down and disappointed by the resulting movie. PS I Love You was a novel written by Irish novelist Cecelia Ahern and published in 2004. Cecelia is the daughter of the former Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. The book reached #1 bestseller status in Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands. The movie ...
...Hilary Swank and Gerard Butler. My biggest problem with the film was that they Americanised it and set it in New York, the lower side of East Manhattan whereas the book was set in Ireland. For me I think the setting of the book made it partly what it was. The writer is obviously Irish and I think the country and place conjours up a time that it less fast paced and more down to earth and by setting the movie in New York I thought they took the magic ...

Review of P.S. I Love You (DVD)

hairspray is light and fun

Advantages: fantastic soundtrack and cast
Disadvantages: lots of singing.... if you dont like singing

Hairspray is a movie that involves a LOT of singing. So if musicals aren't for you, i highly suggest you put this one back down on the shelf and walk away. However, if singing is your thing, this might just be the best film version of a musical since singing in the rain. Lets start with the casting. You cant go wrong when you cast Zac efron in a school based musical - as proven by the high school musical trilogy. Now i am not a teeny bopper, nor ...
...The storyline... I think that hairspray has always been a musical that works on so many levels. It is humorous. We see a large girl wanting to make it big on tv and falling in love with the cool kid. She is awkward and funny and her best friend is just as silly. Their are many puns in all the songs which keep the adult audience laughing. The story follows that of integration between black and white in Baltimore USA. It is touching and relevant to ...
