Review of Sleeping Beauty (DVD)

This is definitely Sin-Good

Advantages: A great story on a great disk.
Disadvantages: Err, No.

...almost) I love them still. The mythic storyline, the battle between good and evil, it's about as much adventure I could get as a child. Sitting in front of the TV wide-eyed and mesmerised, ahh those were the days of innocence. Anyway back to the film. This was a major release in Hollywood, one of the first modern fantasy films, in superb Technicolor. The film starts with Sinbad lost at sea in a thick mist. He spies an island through the fog and ...
...a hasty departure they find the man to be a sorcerer who was trying to steal a magic lamp from the Cyclops. He begs Sinbad to return to the island, but is disappointed with Sinbad's refusal. On their return to Baghdad the sorcerer casts a spell on the Princess Parisa, the soon-to-be wife of Sinbad, shrinking her to a tiny size. This has our hero sent on a treacherous mission to save her. This sorcerer's evil plan is to make Sinbad undergo a dangerous ...

Review of The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad (DVD)

Sleeping Beauty

Advantages: Wonderful songs, great animation
Disadvantages: More for the girls!

A beautiful Disney film. I have to say, I could really feel the Disney magic and charm when I watched this film. I absolutely love it, it is a timeless classic. It has a wonderful soundtrack which was adapted from the Tchaikovsky score and classic Disney songs that everyone knows the words to! The story revolves around the Princess Aurora, who at her birth receives presents from the good fairies of wit and beauty, but the wicked fairy who is angry ...
...on the Princess that she will prick her finger on a spindle on reaching adulthood and die. Although the spell can't be reversed, the good fairies manage to alter the spell so that she won't die, but fall in to a deep sleep until awoken by the kiss of a Prince. Of course, she pricks her finger on a spindle, despite the Kingdom burning every spindle that they have. And Aurora falls asleep, waiting for her Prince to come and wake her up… The film ...

Review of Sleeping Beauty (DVD)

Kris Kringle Is Not Crackers

Advantages: original version is cleaned up and presented in original black and white
Disadvantages: remake suffers greatly when presented with the original for comparison

...as Kris is released. The miracle has not happened yet though, for that is a miracle of the heart. No, that happens on the way home, as a young Susan sees the house of her dreams on the route Kris has told them to take to avoid traffic. A house, with a cane like Kris' leaned against the chimney and a wedding proposal from Fred to one now thawed hearted Doris. Aww... Starring Maureen O' Hara as Doris, John Payne (Fred Gailey), Edmund Gwenn (Kris Kringle), ...
...is indeed a star studded affair. Natalie Wood's childhood portrayal is precociously good, with no playing for the camera or simpering and makes this a fun film to watch. Maureen O'Hara does quite well with what could have been a difficult role to play. Doris Walker is a complicated character; she is caring, yet cynical and a bit hard, yet with a centre still a bit marshmallowy if you can get past the slightly crunchy exterior. She manages to pull ...

Review of Miracle On 34th Street (1947)/Miracle Of 34th Street (1994) (DVD)

MULAN - *you dont meet a girl like that every dynasty*-by emperor

Advantages: funny, great for whole family to watch
Disadvantages: i really cannot think of any

MULAN This movie is one of my all time favourites i love it. In my opinion it is funny and what makes it funny is the characters in the film you have mulan, the little dragon, the slightly crazy grandma, the soldiers and the 'lucky' cricket all of whom make this film a joy to watch. I believe that this is a great film with a great story line to it. The basic story line is that Mulan who is basically a tomboy who is deemed unmarriable. There ...
...man from every family must go to help fight which means Mulans father who can hardly walk after the last war has to go as there is no son .Mulan takes his place disguising herself as a man. A little dragon is sent by Mulans ancestors to bring her home but he decides to help her instead and make her a war hero. Along with her horse, cricket and dragon she risks everything to save china. I think this film is great for the whole family to watch together ...
