Bean 'n Gone

Advantages: Disc would make a nice Frisbee
Disadvantages: Too many to count.

...and since this, I wonder? Jack (Costello) gets a job babysitting a young prodigy-cum-brat, and Abbott plays his manager. The prodigy-cum-brat is basically a… well… brat. In an attempt to settle the boy down, Jack reads the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. We leave their black and white world and, very ‘Wizard of Oz’ like, we appear in a colourful world where Jack lives with his mother. The story is pretty much the fairy tale story that everyone ...
...the gist? However, when Jack starts to climb the beanstalk, along with Abbott – who plays a butcher (Jack swapped his cow for the beans with the butcher – was basically conned, but the giant takes the cow and Abbott wants it back; plus the giant has a goose that lays golden eggs… added incentive for Abbott), the village below bursts into song. This surprised me somewhat as I did not expect that. A bit of ‘filling in,’ I suspected at the time. But ...

Memmmmmmmmmmoriessss...

Advantages: Robert. Robert, HUBBA HUBBA Robert
Disadvantages: Sorry, none...

...will put my hands in the air and admit that I am fickle and would enjoy this film even if the story were dire and torturous. I simply defy any woman to watch this 114 minute film, and more specifically watch and ogle Hubbell Gardner (a young Robert Redford. Swoon - God certainly outdid himself with this one) and not just love this movie because, well – we’re women and this is one of the perks! However, the movie itself was surprisingly good, or no, ...
...of Africa and MANY more). The movie was made in 1973 (though is set in 30’s to 50’s), and tells the story of the rocky relationship between conservative writer Hubbell Gardner (Hubba Hubba Redford) and Katie Morosky, K K K K Kikki (Streisand) an intense (this may be an understatement) political activist. They go to the same college. He, of course, is popular, an intelligent ‘jock’ but sensitive too and she is on the opposite spectrum, not too popular ...

Review of The Way We Were (DVD)

"Marriage, fun? Fiddle-dee-dee. Fun for men you mean."

Advantages: A pure classic
Disadvantages: Very long.

GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) DVD (2006) "There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind." The opening words of Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With The Wind" I ...
...Classification PG Gone With The Wind runs four hours including a brief intermission. It is rated PG, but with its war violence and frightening images it is inappropriate for most kids under 8.

A MIdsummer Night's Review

Advantages: Funnier than other Shakespeare plays.
Disadvantages: The language is hard to understand.

...'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by William Shakespeare, there are three different sets of characters and I am going to be discussing the theme of love and marriage and how each set is affected by this. The first set of characters within the play are the lords and ladies which consists of four main characters who are all affected by love in different ways. To begin with, Demetrius is being forced to wed Hermia by her father, Egeus. Hermia does not like ...
...in their eyes. Helena, the one who loves Demetrius, is always pestering him to take her back but he doesn't love her so therefore, he intends to marry Hermia. When Hermia and Lysander decide to run away however, all sorts of adventures take place and create a very enjoyable play within the human's story. However, there are another three characters involved in the human's story and that is Egeus, Theseus and Hippolyta. Egeus is the overprotective ...

Review of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream (DVD)

A walk to remember is a film too remember.

Advantages: A amazing one of a kind film, highly interesting and thought provoking
Disadvantages: none

...every time. I am not a weepy person, i don't cry easily at films but i think even if you are the toughest person who never cry's at films, you will be emotional once you have have seen this. Its a extremely moving film and very thought provoking too it really does get you thinking about life and sends a overwhelming message in my opinion it says there is no guarantees. If you watch this and have been having one of those days, you know when you think ...
...are here on earth is a gift and it also reminds you not to take those close to you for granted because life's short and they might not always be there. .At first i had no idea what it was going to be like. I just assumed it would be another typical teen movie and was preparing to see basically the same predictable ideas repeated from previous films before. I didn't expect to be impressed by this and i certainly didn't expect to be mesmerized. The ...
