Twin tricks

Advantages: very touching, great story, sometimes funny
Disadvantages: none

...some free time to watch the films I put once to my list but had no time to watch them. Yesterday I have chosen The Parent Trap. Previously I have seen another success film of Nancy Meyers and I wanted to check this film of hers. This family film was produced in 1998 but the original one was made in 1961. I haven’t seen the original one just this new version. Well, new is not the best word for it as this film is eleven years old now. It was quite ...
...was made in USA but the London plots were naturally filmed in UK. It is a 129 minutes long film and very gripping.

A MOMENT FROM CHILDHOOD

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.

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 ...

A Cussing Travesty

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I decided to go to the cinema and watch Fantastic Mr Fox . Having been a fan of Roald Dahl as a child, I was very keen to see how the film turned out - although to be very honest I think I'd forgotten a lot of the book . The story is about Mr Fox (George Clooney), a dab hand at stealing chickens . However, when his wife (Meryl Streep) announces that she is pregnant, just after the two of them are caught in a fox trap, he vows that if they survive ...

Wizards of Waverly Place – The Movie Please note: This review is on the film only - not the DVD! When you leave your childhood behind, you are expected to grow up, perhaps watch serious documentaries and news channels – yeah right! With my own daughter as well as my younger brother and sister there is always some sort of childrens programme on the television and I have to admit that secretly I actually enjoy some of them, especially some of the films ...
