Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 - KOWABANGA

Advantages: Great action, great laughs, good story, movie for all people
Disadvantages: Hockey guy does not remain from 1st film - but who cares

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back for the second time, and better than the first movie. The first movie was a classic but they found more ways to make this one better. In this action packed comedy film, the Turtles find out that the Shredder survived the fall into the garbage truck from the first film. Now he is looking for recruits known as footsoldiers to help bring the mean green ninja fighting machines down. The fight sequences are hilarious ...
...they are looking to destroy the canisters of ooze that can mutate all animals and humans into greater creatures ie. how the turtles came into being. The ooze falls into the wrong hands and it is up to the turtles to stop them. This film is a classic and should be watched with he other two turtle films. However, this one in particular is the one that stays in my mind most. Watching the turtles fight against the foot and then relax and eat pizza is ...

Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 - The Secret Of The Ooze (DVD)

By Hook or by crook

Advantages: A change from the normal Pan story
Disadvantages: Poor acting and writing

Hook is a variation on the Peter Pan story, but rather than Peter being the 12 or 13 year old boy he always was, we find that Peter is a middle aged man, and a miserable one at that. Peter is now an a lawyer (no wonder he's miserable!!), spends more time concentrating on his clients than his family. He has been invited to be the key speaker at a function to honour Wendy, who's now an elderly lady who's devoted her life to helping orphans and Great ...
...a message from Captain James Hook pinned to the door. Hook wants a showdown with Peter and instructs him to return to Neverland to save his children. Peter of course, cannot remember Hook, and although Wendy tries to explain, he refuses to believe that he is Peter Pan. He calls the police, who put the disappearance down to a prank, based on the family connection to J. M. Barrie and the Peter Pan 'stories'. During the night, Peter attempts to sleep ...

Review of Hook (DVD)

Beauty And The Beast .

Advantages: enchanting, enticing and of course musically enhanced
Disadvantages: can be quite intimidating for very young children

captivating and charming throughout, a good family picture from Disney and its predecesor which in turn carries on the brilliant storyline as an out take or snippet from the original. A must have for Boys and Girls of all ages. My children watch it over and over and gain something new each time whether it be a new value or decision in how they should act towards others. Both are aware that it isnt always best to be popular as it has a high price ...

Review of Beauty And The Beast / Beauty And The Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (Animated) (Double Pack) (DVD)

Tale as old as time........

Advantages: Animation, characterisation, tale
Disadvantages: Not so much action

Beauty and the Beast is a 1991 Disney feature film animation, and is one of the better of the more modern ones of the past 20 years or so, before the collaboration with Pixar took it to a new level. The film takes us to a castle, where a Prince has been cursed to take the form of a humanoid beast until he realises the importance of beauty that lies within a person. You see, the Prince is superficial, and in a way, this is Disney's way of slamming ...
...music, with its title song, Beauty and the Beast, sung marvellously during the film by Angela Lansbury, one of only a couple of recognisable names lending their voices to the film, Jerry Orbach being the other. I recommend at least watching this, even if you don't particularly want to own it. It's a timeless Disney 'classic' despite it being one of hte 90s, productions, and slots in perfectly with some of the older ones such as Pinocchio and Snow ...

Tale as old as time.....

Advantages: Lovely songs, great story and fun characters
Disadvantages: None

Beauty and the Beast was one of those Disney films that when released it was an immediate hit. With a great storyline and a brilliant selection of music it was sure to be a film that would do well. Released back in 1991 this was the 39th ever Disney animated film to hit our screens. The story: A young prince lives in a castle hidden away in the woods. He is not a normal Prince though and neither is any of his staff because some time ago a beautiful ...
