Little People, Big Trouble

Advantages: Good things come in small packages! !
Disadvantages: none

The Borrowers! The film is classed as a "u" film, meaning that it is universal and suitable for all. It is a great family film, good for the rainy days. The film: Pod (Jim Broadbent), Homily (Celia Imrie), Peagreen (Tom Felton) and Arrietty (Flora Newbigin) otherwise known as the "clock family" being small isn't as easy as it sounds (or looks!) They are "The Borrowers" which are a family of four inch tall people who live under the floorboards of ...
...But trouble arises when the nasty local lawyer Ocious C Potter (John Goodman) threatens to have the house demolished...... "what will they do now?!!!" Well the borrowers find themselves thrown headfirst into a big bad world of adventure and fun fun fun! ! ! The theme of the film is Fantasy action drama! There's NO bad language No sex or nudity scenes However there's some very mild fantasy violence. I would recommend this film to all age groups ...

Review of Anastasia (DVD)

Fully Entertainment

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

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. ...

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 ...
