Riveting Robots?

Advantages: Fun film with a strong voice cast and good animation
Disadvantages: In the face of stronge competition, it doesn't quite match up

...meets an eclectic bunch of robots who show him how to survive metropolitan life. Rodney's skills are soon necessary as the evil robot, Ratchet, who is now running Bigweld threatens the survival of his new friends and potentially that of his aging parents. SO SHOULD I SEE IT? "Robots" is a great little film. I cannot honestly rate it as highly as some of my animated favourites such as Shrek, Ice Age, Kung Fu Panda or really any of the Pixars. However, ...
...the old, nuts and bolts robots with the shiny futuristic robots keeps your interest. It also goes to show that you can't judge a robot by its upgrades as the line between goodie and baddie cannot be drawn based on the appearance of a robot. The humour in the film is fairly traditional Robin Williams though with some moments of Mel Brooks (yes, that's one of the voices to look for). It is family friendly, but with the odd reference thrown in to delight ...

Review of Robots (DVD)

Great fun DVD with a stellar cast

Advantages: Funny amusing rib-tickler of a familly film (and that means you too!)
Disadvantages: A little formulaic but you can look past that

...then relax and enjoy, because Robots will entertain. Plot Summary The story is set in a Robot world where our hero protagonist Rodney Copperbottom (voiced by Ewan McGregor) is dreaming inventor who wants to go to the big city and meet the great inventor Big Weld (the wonderful Mel Brooks) to get new spare parts for his dad. The fly in the ointment in this is supplied by Ratchet (Greg Kinnear) who is bent on making all of the old Robots obsolete, ...
...The Incredibles and so on. Robots is also one of these, with a well known cast lending their vocal talents to the story - for me that was a little distracting. However we are missing the principle audience of this movie, which (amongst others) is my 4 years old son, who absolutely adores it. We went to see it in the movies and have rented it twice in a week on DVD (cheaper buying it I hear you cry). He must be wearing a groove in the disc with the ...

Review of Robots (Gift Set) (DVD And Action Figure) (DVD)

Fully Entertainment

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

Harry Potter is filled with full of adventure , action and mind blowing animations. When you once start watching it you will not get up even for pee. Becuase it contains lots of surprising events which raises your hair. Interesting is that Harry Potter is a very courageouse kid and his friends really remains with them till the end. 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. ...

Review of Harry Potter - Years 1-5 (Box Set) (DVD)

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 ...
