Little People, Big Trouble

Advantages: Good things come in small packages! !
Disadvantages: none

The Borrowers! The film is classed as a "u" film, meaning that it is universal and suitable for all. It is a great family film, good for the rainy days. The film: Pod (Jim Broadbent), Homily (Celia Imrie), Peagreen (Tom Felton) and Arrietty (Flora Newbigin) otherwise known as the "clock family" being small isn't as easy as it sounds (or looks!) They are "The Borrowers" which are a family of four inch tall people who live under the floorboards of ...
...But trouble arises when the nasty local lawyer Ocious C Potter (John Goodman) threatens to have the house demolished...... "what will they do now?!!!" Well the borrowers find themselves thrown headfirst into a big bad world of adventure and fun fun fun! ! ! The theme of the film is Fantasy action drama! There's NO bad language No sex or nudity scenes However there's some very mild fantasy violence. I would recommend this film to all age groups ...

Oo-de-lally!

Advantages: DVD version of a classic Disney film, great video & sound quality, bonus features
Disadvantages: none

...on the sofa, watching Disney's Robin Hood. I can't imagine there are many people who don't know the story of Robin Hood, but in Disney's 21st animated feature film, the story is brought to life by the animal kingdom. With England at war and King Richard gone to fight in the crusades, the country is left in the dastardly hands of Prince John and his snaky servant, Sir Hiss. Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham are collecting huge taxes that ...
...the charming Robin Hood is there to counter the bad guys and come to the rescue. Accompanied by his faithful friend, Little John and aided by Friar Tuck and the people of Nottingham, Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Along the way, of course, he wins the love of Lady Marian and gets into some almost inescapable scrapes... The film's story is its biggest strength, being at the same time familiar and exciting. Disney brought ...

Review of Robin Hood (Special Edition) (DVD)

Tomorrows People, Yesterday

Advantages: Good fro the kids
Disadvantages: Dated

The Tomorrow People. Series 1 - The Slaves Of Jedikiah / Medusa Strain / The Vanishing Earth I remembered the earlier shows, probably from 1973 when it first aired through to 1979 when it initially ended. Watching it again on DVD was very very enjoyable and to be honest quite refreshing. It was at the time an imaginative program and held a 70's quaintness. Remembered nothing ...
...and again nothing of the third reinvented show from 2001 - 2007. You follow some rare talented humans as they 'Break out' and change from normal humans to the next stage in human evolution. They have abilities such as telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation. As with all heroes they have a secret base and a super computer, here called TIM, who helps them get out of trouble many, many times. They have adventures inventing new technologies and ...

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 ...
...family from their home in the ground to a large spacious treehouse . Even this life of luxury is not enough for him, and he longs to return to his wild animal days of chicken stealing - and with his friend Kylie , he launches a plan to steal food from the three farms nearbby, owned by Boggis, Bunce and Bean . Although he manages to successfully steal food, the farmers become aware of this and decide there is only one course of action, to team up ...
