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 ...

Review of The Amazing Mr Blunden (DVD)

Good fun!

Advantages: Dialogue, cracking pace, excellent animation
Disadvantages: May not be suitable for children who are old enough to understand innuendo

...for adults as well and Ice Age 3 certainly delivered on that front. I've seen Ice Age2 on TV but not the first film and never in the cinema. On top of that this was a 3D show. The story essentially follows Manny, the mammoth, his heavily pregnant wife, Ellie and Diego, the sabre toothed tiger as they venture under the ice to a land where dinosaurs are not extinct. They do this to try and rescue Sid, who feeling unloved due to the impending arrival ...
...subsequently been carried off with his 'children' by their real mother. In dinosaur world they meet Buck, the weasel with the Sylvester Stallone eyepatch and knife, the British accent (Simon Pegg voices him) and the literary connections to Captain Ahab of Moby Dick (both have been left injured by 'the great white beast', both are unnaturally obsessed and slightly unhinged by it). As a sideline, Scratt is still seeking his acorn but this time there ...

Review of Ice Age 3 - Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (DVD)

"I thought you guys were extinct?"

Advantages: amazing picture quality, good fun for all the family!
Disadvantages: Cant think of any.

I bought my wife Ice Age 3 for Christmas. She asked for it. Can't say its my type of film, but being a loving husband I sat down and watched it with her anyway. The first thing that struck me, being a blu ray, is the amazing quality. Animated films and comic-esque outings (like the Simpsons) always take full advantage of the High Definition nature of blu ray and make a movie a pleasure for the eye to behold. Ice Age 3 is quite possibly the best example ...
...were apparently living below the ice and meeting a swash buckling weasel who helps save the day. All the while, we get to watch the fun adventures of the little chap chasing his acorn, that have been present in the past films. This time, there's a love interest!! Its quite a good watch and plenty of fun for all the family. The usual deleted scenes and such are present, I can't say I watched them though, sorry, but its not my cup-of-tea, as I said. ...
