A Griswald Christmas

Advantages: Funny, typical Christmas scenes
Disadvantages: None

...visit to the Griswald's. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is a 1989 movie featuring the Griswald family, stars of the other National Lampoon's classic such as European vacation and Vegas vacation. It's a classic American Christmas comedy and one that has become essential viewing in my house every year and for countless other people too. The head of the Griswald family is Clark, played by Chevy Chase and for those of you who have never seen any ...
...that always says the inappropriate thing and is always getting himself into some kind of hilarious trouble that he does not seem to notice or pay any attention too. It's his long suffering family that generally have to put up with his weird and wonderful antics. Clark is a good guy though and always wants to do the best by his family. He has been working on a big project at work and is expecting a bonus. With this bonus he plans to put a swimming ...

Review of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Blu-Ray)

50 first dates- Watch it 50 times!

Advantages: Story.Humor.entertaining. Lovable characters and performances
Disadvantages: None

50 first dates..you look at the title and you know it is a fun filled rom-com. The end experience is much more than what you expect. Yes, it is an entertaining fun filled film yet it has a beautiful and meaningful love story to go with it. The story is a boy meets girl and falls in love kind of a story with a great twist, the girl forgets everything every night when she sleeps and remembers nothing the next morning. This means Adam Sandler has to ...
...Drew Barrymore and make her fall in love with him.Along the way he tries to make her remember the memories they both shared previously. In all the light hearted humor the film does portray the strength of true love; the sort of love that makes you go the extra mile to live with that special person no matter what. It's a fabulous idea to incorporate memory loss and humor in such a way that it is highly entertaining and interesting.The story is better ...

Review of 50 First Dates (Blu-Ray)

The "truth is stranger than fiction"

Advantages: makes you feel warm and fluffy inside
Disadvantages: a bit of a weak ending

...films we picked up was Stranger than fiction, because he loves Will Farrell. I wasn't that bothered, and didn't really pay much attention, as we had also picked up a copy of Family Guy, Blue Harvest. Anyway I digress, I think my padding here is done… ~The Film~ The protagonist is Harold Crick (played by Will Farrell), gifted with super human mental arithmetic skills, so naturally, working for the IRS. Harold is a solitary existence, his only "friends" ...
...does interact with on a daily basis, he is straight laced and focused on work, compelled to live his life following as many rules and routines as possible. The film begins, and a woman, with an English accent is narrating, as if reading from a book, or as if film's script had been taken straight from a novel, sort of like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Harold goes about his daily life, and then one day, whilst brushing his teeth, 13 strokes ...

Review of Stranger Than Fiction (Blu-Ray)

Sorry Adam you seem to have lost the spark

Advantages: Acting quality
Disadvantages: Not what you expect from an Adam Sandler film

Before we talk about the film itself lets talk about blu-ray. Blu ray discs can hold up to around 50gb which is a huge improvement from the standard dvd which can hold around 5 at the max. Blu rays work by using an incredibly thin laser to read the disc therefore more information can be stored on the disc resulting in a much higher picture and sound quality. Blu ray dvds will only work on a blu-ray dvd player or PS3 which is connected up to a HDTV ...
...times better than that of a normal SD dvd and although that doesn't sound like much trust me it is a huge difference. If you have blu ray dvd player and hdtv it is worth splashing out a bit more money for a blu ray dvd. The film itself is about a man who wants to enjoy life and get promoted but miss out all of the boring stuff like looking after his family and spending time with them. When a strange man comes out from no-where and gives Michael ...

Review of Click (Blu-Ray)

Robin Williams NOT at his best.

Advantages: The kids will love it...
Disadvantages: Parents probably won't.!

...a road trip in the RV will bring them closer together... obviously the family are not aware that Williams is steering the RV towards an important meeting with a potential client, and manages to hide the fact that he's actually still on the job... one adventure leads to another along the way, add to that a chance meeting with an obnoxious family of over-achieving RV'ers who are just too happy to be real... and there you have a very simple, somewhat ...
