Third Best 'A Christmas Carol' film

Advantages: Looks very Christmassy, Well Directed
Disadvantages: The people look creepy

...for those who live in a hole or have dementia, A Christmas Carol is the story of Ebonezer Scrooge (Jim Carey) and is passage by fire from twisted, grumpy, old miser who hates Christmas to the very opposite (except he stays old). After the death of Scrooge's business partner, Scrooge has got even more miserable and spiteful than ever and everyone fears and avoids him. Even his sole employee, Bob Cratchet (Gary Oldman) lives in misery, not allowed ...
...this film is so fantastic a telling, this would merely enhance the tediousness of an overly told story but the computer generated recreation and the direction of this film make it wonderful to watch. It’s directed by Robert Zemeckis, the man responsible for The Polar Express and Beowulf . He uses the same sort of 3-D capturing here that he used in those films. Basically this is a technique were he captures the movements etc. of real actors and ...

Watch out the Muppets are About!

Advantages: Great family film, good puppets
Disadvantages: None from my boys

...always had a love for the Muppets stretching back from his childhood days and as soon as my boys were old enough he showed them what it was all about. Since then my eldest two have really liked them. After a long hard and busy morning at pre-school my 4 year old came home and decided that he wanted to watch the Muppets in Manhattan DVD. The film stars all of our favourite characters and stars off with Kermit writing a new show which he is hoping ...
...able to get it on the stage in Broadway but it will cost $300 each. The Muppets do not have this money and as they are trying to discuss this the police barge into the office and arrest the agent for theft of money. The Muppets leave the office with heavy hearts but Kermit says that they will find some way of getting the money needed to put on their show.

Review of The Muppets Take Manhattan (DVD)

Fully Entertainment

Advantages: Surprising, Adventurouse, Entertaining, and good animation.
Disadvantages: Dialogues are not that much clear according to the small kids.

Harry Potter is filled with full of adventure , action and mind blowing animations. When you once start watching it you will not get up even for pee. Becuase it contains lots of surprising events which raises your hair. Interesting is that Harry Potter is a very courageouse kid and his friends really remains with them till the end. Watching this movie is really money value movie. Regarding character of the movie and the story line, its amazing. ...
...The Hobbit and a witch in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”. I also think that the emphasis on magic is different than its use in the book “A Wrinkle in Time”. If you found those themes objectionable in the Harry Potter books—they are very convincing in the film. ...

Review of Harry Potter - Years 1-5 (Box Set) (DVD)

Very funny Film

Advantages: movie recommended
Disadvantages: none

Charlotte's Web is primarily a book written by EB White, and it is a book that I remember having read and reread again and again when I was younger. I so loved that the characters were brought to life by the author and I was overjoyed when the animation is out to please me as well. Now, several years later they have done for a film and was recently released on DVD this week. Seeing that the weather was so bad I sent my boyfriend to choose the DVD ...
...of Julia Roberts. Charlotte's voice is perfectly produced by Julia Roberts, and it is truly representative of the charter in question wonderfully close to the original. Charlotte is the savior of the story that really intrigue continues with farm animals set about saving Wilbur's bacon! They tell him he can expect to be served on the table at Christmas, but want to see Wilbur for the snowfall is something they all want him to achieve. Charlotte games ...
