...am writing my review on the first made "Parent Trap" that was made in 1961 with Hayley Mills (Played in Pollyanna), it was redone in 1998 and was played by Lindsay Lohan but the original is the best one by far. About the film Its about twin girls who meet unexpectedly for the first time at a summer camp, Sharon McKendick is a well brought up girl (quite posh) who was brought up with her mother, where as Susan Evers is more laid back and ...

Advantages: A GOOD CHILDRENS STORY
Disadvantages: DATED SPECIAL EFFECTS

In 1962, when I was 11 years old, I went to see a film that was to change the way in which I viewed cinema. As a naïve child with a hunger for something new, this film certainly delivered and I shall tell you why. The Film was made by Disney Productions with the Director being Robert Stevenson, and actors of the principle parts being played by a young Hayley Mills, Keith Hamshire and Maurice Chevalier. Very loosely based on a Jules Verne novel entitled ...
...in their voyage of belief that their father is alive, whilst reported dead at sea. It's an old classic film, and brings together all the aspects of good cinematography that I believe to be a must for children growing up, seeking adventure and excitement in their entertainment. At the same viewing, which was an afternoon special that included another film from Hayley Mills entitled Pollyana, this was the film that stuck out in my mind, because of ... Read review

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: None

I love High School Musical and I saw the third one at the cinema last weekend now for the second time as I love it so much. It is the most fun and fantastic film and follows on from the first two very well due to its slightly more grown up feel and songs and dances. This review will hopefully tell you why this trilogy has been finished off perfectly with this fab third film. Story of this film is that it is senior year at East high school and everybody ...
...This film shows that the high school musical franchise is as strong as ever and the third installment still captures all of the Disney magic and once again leaves the audience wanting more. I have to say that this film is definitely one you should go and see if you want a couple of hours of pure fun. The film lasts for just under 2 hours which seems long but it goes by in a flash and as always with these films it is a Universal certificate. You ... Read review

So, the orphanage owner Mr Cherrywood (voice over by Mickey Rooney) tells them a story…..about a time when people stopped caring. Care-a-lot is where the Care Bears live, and it's such a nice place to live, ... Read review
