MUPPETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: ITS THE MUPPETS FOR CHRIST SAKE
Disadvantages: HOW COULD THE MUPPETS HAVE DISADVANTAGES!!!!!!!!!

...watch this film all through the Christmas period instead of going out to the pub. Now that may really sound sad but it is just a master piece. This is one of the original great family films that manages to be an exceptional film without including any violence, drugs or sex. It is pure genius. Well I think that you have got the idea that I like this film. I will now talk about the film. I really dont feel that I am spoiling the plot and storyline ...
...complete and utter slave driver. The employees get paid next to nothing for their work and have to work their fingers to the bone in a cold and damp office. He wont even allow his employers to put coal in the fire. Im not too sure about this so dont jump down my throat but I think it is set in Victorian times. Anyway Mr Rachet his his head employee and has a very full and happy home outside of work. His son Tiny Tim is a frail and unwell child. However ...

Review of The Muppet Christmas Carol (Special Edition) (DVD)

Tim Burton is A Class

Advantages: Interesting characters, expertly created
Disadvantages: Songs can get stuck in your head

...Nightmare Before Christmas is about the Pumpkin King Jack Skellington who doesn't get fulfilled in doing Halloween every year anymore and stumbles across Christmas where he decides to take over the job of 'Sandy Claws' where havoc is created. This film has it all - the humor, the love story and the Boogie man! I thoroughly enjoyed this film especially the songs 'This is Halloween' and 'What's This?' It has kept me entertained many years after getting ...
...including the little ones. It was even really good entertainment when it came out in 3D in the cinemas. In my opinion, Tim Burton has a great mind and this comes across in his films (Edward Scissorhands, Sleepyhollow) and I look forward to his Alice in Wonderland film. I would recommend this film and others by Tim Burton to other people. ...

Review of The Nightmare Before Christmas (DVD)

AWWWWWWWWWWW

Advantages: it is heart warming family fun
Disadvantages: none it amazing

I have got to say that as a child I loved this film. Granted i was animal mad and this film catered to that what with the three talking house pets. It is a great film for a wet day or a lazy sunday when you just want to relax as a family and it is perfectly suited to the younger audience although as a child i did find one scene rather upsetting but as the film has a happy ending and everything works out for the best so the trauma was always short ...
...a cat and two dogs, are left with a friend while the family is living away for a while. The animals not understanding that their owners are coming back for them run away from their carer and make the journey home. Based on a true story it is a heart warming film that is fun to whatch over and over again although I am sure my parents would claim otherwise after being made to sit through it at leats once a week for a couple of years ...

Review of The Secret Garden (DVD)

I'm only Borrowing it!

Advantages: Short Episode format
Disadvantages: Only 2 series were made

...with early 90's BBC series The Borrowers. Adapted from the novels by Mary Norton (which I haven't read) The Borrowers was made into a 6 part series for children and was originally screened in 1992. The Borrowers are basically little people (around 6 inches high) who like to borrow things from human 'beans' to use in their own homes. The Borrowers stars Ian Holm (most recently as Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings) as Pod Clock, the father, Penelope ...
...the mother and Rebecca Callard as Arrietty Clock, the daughter and follows them through the trials and tribulations of being the only ones of their kind left in the house, having relatives who'd been seen and had had to leave the house. Being seen themselves and actually finding out that some human beings were not too bad after all. Holm gives us a lovely performance as Pod, he is the one that has to provide both food and accessories for all of ...
