A story of do what you do best

Advantages: Beautiful music and storyline
Disadvantages: WARNING: Spoilers towards the end in the plot if you haven't seen the film

Like all of Hayao Miyzaki's films they all protect as well as represent the innocence of children, which I think is just perfect, especially when you have young children watching these films as in most by Miyazaki films have some kind of moral to them and the moral in this film being, 'Just do what you do best and you'll go far' which is a moral anyone should follow if they can and I know it is a moral I follow daily with my school work and daily ...
...seem to be many more anime films that are full of violence rather than ones that are based on the innocence of children which is a bonus factor for parents and what draws the child in. The film itself is rated U in the United Kingdom, U basically means it is suitable for all ages. So of course, when myself, my brothers and sisters and parents all sat down to watch this film we all agreed upon that the film was fantastic and an excellent film for ...

Review of Kiki's Delivery Service (Animated) (DVD)

Have you ever....ever felt like this?

Advantages: Quirky Australian humour which brings back happy memories
Disadvantages: Perhaps not as funny for those who didn't see it the first time round

...Three more series of Round The Twist were made. The second series in 1993 had different children as the three originals had grown up too much to play the parts. While I did like the second series at the time and the storylines were excellent (some in fact were better), I could not get over the cast change (and Bronson's hair colour change!), and besides my brother had left home so wasn't there to laugh/sing along with me! I haven't yet bought series ...
...Even if you didn't see Round the Twist when it was first on, if you have a quirky sense of humour I think you'll enjoy it, so it is well worth a look. I certainly see no reason why kids today wouldn't still love it, as it doesn't seem particularly dated to me. I think I bought it for £6.99 on Amazon, so it hardly broke the bank! Unfortunately there are no extras on the DVD. It would have been nice to have a film about what the original kids from ...

Review of Round The Twist - Series 1 (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. ...

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

PAINT THE WHOLE WORLD.

Advantages: THE KIDDIES WILL LOVE WATCHING IT
Disadvantages: NOTHING

RAINBOW "Up above the streets and houses, Rainbow climbing high, Everyone can see it smiling over the sky”. “Paint the whole word with a Rainbow” First aired in 1972 and ran for an incredible 20 years and contained an astonishing 1071 episodes. The general format was, what is quite common now, where it would be on twice a week, usually for around 15 – 20 minutes. It was aimed squarely at kids and contained some iconic figures that ...
...revolved around adventures to go on, usually around the house, or more likely problems to be solved. It would always be resolved by the puppets or by a song. Cast: = Zippy Loud and opinionated and always right about everything, well in his mind. George A shy pink hippo, go figure? He was always getting into trouble. Bungle A huge brown and very clumsy bear. Very unfrightening and a bit dozey. Geoffrey The father figure of the group and ...
