a movie you can let your kids see

Advantages: entertanment with substance
Disadvantages: some sad parts

Some movies today. even ones that are made for children have not so nice words in them. With this movie i can put it on and know that the only thing my 3 year old will pick up from it is a good lession. I think that this movie shows that you can find a friend in some of the strangest of places. If you have ever read the book i would have to say that you will love the movie. In my openion the only bad part is that charlette does not make it through ...
...feel better and keeps kids at my sons age under standing what is going on with out makeing him sad . over all i would recamend this film to people of all ages that like a movie that can give you a range of emoshions , and just make you smile. ...

Come Home with This One

Advantages: classic animation, well written story, gentle humour
Disadvantages: dialogue and themes aimed at the over 8's but nothing unsuitable for younger viewers

...character, a little boy named Charlie Brown, aged 8. Nothing he ever does turns out quite as he intended, and the other children tend to be dismissive of him. So much so that everyone always calls him by his full name, never just Charlie. He has a beagle named Snoopy, who is rather eccentric and seems not quite certain of the fact that he is a dog and not another kid in the neighbourhood. Charlie Brown's best friend is Linus, who carries a security ...
...and Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown has a younger sister, Sally, who is a hanger on that has a huge crush on Linus. There are other characters who lend supporting roles: Peppermint Patty the sandal wearing tomboy, Marcie the slightly dim but sweet glasses wearing best friend of Patty, Schroeder who is Lucy's unwilling love interest and a talented Beethoven inspired child pianist, Violet, one of Lucy's clique of friends, and Woodstock, a yellow bird ...

The T-rex Trek

Advantages: More of those loveable characters
Disadvantages: A typical film number 3

...I wanted to see was Ice Age 3, mostly because I wanted to complete the series and find out what happens, having seen the other two films on the way out. Please bear in mind that if you have not seen the first two films, I do not recommend you read this review (even if that means I miss out on your rating!) That’s because if the film sounds like your thing, I will have spoilt both those first two films within this review of the third. So staying on ...
...all as eggs! If the Ice Age animals didn’t think their mother was scary enough, when Rudy comes along, they are really in for a surprise. He is a much bigger challenge for Buck, and an even bigger terror for all the others, when he makes mummy dino look a dwarf. Sadly we don’t really get that much communication from the dinosaurs as they don’t seem to talk, just “grr”. Admittedly this helps distinguish them from the others as the real predators or ...

City of Ember Smoulders Without Really Catching Light

Advantages: A fun, well told family adventure
Disadvantages: Underdeveloped characters. Understated ending.

...see “City of Ember” at the cinema, but I had taken one look at the trailer and dismissed it out of hand. However, when it made a recent appearance on the Sky Movies schedule, I relented, thinking that, without the added investment of having to buy cinema tickets, a bucket of popcorn and perhaps more importantly, using up a rare night out, I could always fall asleep on the couch if I wanted to. SYNOPSIS The film starts out with a flashback to ...
...catastrophe is soon to make the earth uninhabitable, so a group of scientists (American obviously – they’re always American) create an underground city, called Ember, to which a select group of lucky souls will be sent – a modern day ark – to safeguard the future of the human race. A silver box, the contents of which are not known at this stage, is entrusted to the first mayor, with instructions to pass down the box from mayor to mayor until the ...
