Santa's a thug

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Enough to put you off Christmas for life

...Christmas spirit, so we rented Miracle on 34th Street, a Christmas film that I’d never actually got round to watching before, but had heard lots of good things about. Synopsis Cole’s department store is in trouble, it has just warded off one attempted buy out, but the claws are out from their opposition, and they’re determined to do whatever they can to own that shop. At the same time as the news of the failed buy out hits the papers, Dorey ...
...for Doris, her Santa is a drunk and as far from the image of Santa as you could get. But as luck would have it, an old man who goes by the name of Kriss Kringle just happens to be passing, and bare and uncanny resemblance to Santa, Doris randomly approaches him in the middle of the park as he’s leaving the parade area, and offers him the job, which he accepts. Kriss makes a good impression at the store, and on Dorey’s daughter Sarah, although Doris ...

First fun with French DVD

Advantages: A great way to introduce young children to a foreign language
Disadvantages: There is no written language at all on screen

This is an animated DVD that is aimed at giving very young children an introduction to the French language. It is an enjoyable way of teaching, and parents can sit and relax with their children whilst watching. They can learn about families, daily routine, as well as a few extra topics that are brought in such as animals. Children are likely to find it fun and ask to watch again and again, which will allow them to absorb French words and phrases ...

Black Beauty

Advantages: Fantastic storyline, soundtrack, anal and human actors
Disadvantages: Saw a crew member on an old version of the film that has since been corrected

...as Sean Bean, starring as Black Beauty's breeder and first owner. The footage and older camera filming adds perfectly to the timed setting of the late 1800's. I have heard people complain in the past that Black Beauty has an english voice. My view is, if the film was created in america, he'd have an american voice. No difference really! The bond between Joe, the clumsy, slightly thick stable boy, and Beauty, is a wonderful creation and reflection ...
...and humane living conditions, and how very different it is today. Black Beauty was wrritten in plight of the treatments horses, espeically working horses. Although this is the 5th version of the story, and as films are never exact to the film, it is the best ive seen. ...

Before Babe there was the 1 the only....Lassie

Advantages: Good clean fun .
Disadvantages: No blood , guts and gore .

...has to be Lassie. Lassie is the most adorable, intelligent collie dog I have ever seen. I love the way the humans who appear in the films and TV shows were easily out shone by the main star. The trials and tribulations the poor dog went through over the years were amazing. People would get stuck in a cave and Lassie would make her way to the nearest human who would of course know exactly what she was saying when she barked at them. In Lassie come ...
...him. The other Lassie films all share similar story lines but don’t be deterred by this if you can find one to hire or see one advertised make sure you either tape it or hire it and it will become a family favourite filled with all the drama, humour, romance and emotion you could wish for. The loyalty and companionship shared between Lassie and her owners is truly humbling. If only life was like films Eh. Lassie Come Home, 1943 Son of Lassie, ...
