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. Cast: ------- Hallie Parker and Annie James – Lindsay Lohan (twins) Elizabeth James – Natasha Richardson (the twins’ mother) Nicholas Parker – Dennis Quaid (the twins’ father) Meredith Blake – Elaine Hendrix (Nicholas’ fiancée) Chessy Parker – Lisa Ann Walter (Hallie’s nanny and housekeeper) Martin Tattersall – Simon Kunz (Elizabeth’s ...

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.
