Santa Claus is comin' to town...again!

Advantages: Sweet, nice and christmassy, funny
Disadvantages: Nothing really for me

...fantastic and popular franchise, "The Santa Clause" trilogy. I realised last week I hadn't seen it so I reserved it at the library and sat down to watch it the other night, aiming to decide if it was worth an entry into my prized Christmas Collection, and after reading some reviews online, I wasn't too sure about it being much of a success! Scott Calvin has been Santa Claus for a long time now, and he loves his job in the North Pole working with ...
...ordered to spend time with Santa to make up for his many misdemeanours. But Jack Frost is only intent on one thing - stealing the Santa job for himself. Will Santa and his merry bunch of Elves clock on to Frost's evil ways and save the hopes of children everywhere, or is there going to be a new Santa in town come Christmas? Watch and find out! When I first saw the first Santa Clause movie many years ago, I loved it, and its become one of those films ...

Review of Santa Clause 3 - The Escape Clause (DVD)

A must-see for all of those car mad boys!

Advantages: The soundtrack
Disadvantages: The characters aren't very strong

...a whole load of different cars so I would say it's much more appealing to young boys like Noah. There are female characters in the film but I don't think it's enough of a pull to keep a girly girl interested for the whole hour and a half. The characters in the film aren't particularly strong in my opinion. I actually think that the two main characters are pretty weak and it's the other characters in the film that make it what it is. Some of these ...
...before, it has grown on me but I still don't think it's brilliant. If you have a young boy who is into cars then I would recommend you watch it with them but apart from that it's not one that you should bother with, you're not missing out on much. ...

Welcome To Lazy Town

Advantages: Great Fun and strong messages being sent to kids.
Disadvantages: None

For anyone that has kids would know about Lazy town and for anyone that does not have kids think your self's very lucky. The new kids show that has lively music that also is annoying and sticks in your head for days. You can't watch a show without singing to at least one song. Though the best thing about this kids show is that it helps towards eating healthy and bans junk food. Lazy Town Well for anyone that does not know by ...
...and about the characters. Lazy Town. For me this has to be one of the best shows that my kids watch. I like the fact that they are promoting healthy eating and getting active. Though don't except your kids to start eating fruit and veg immediately. My son does not and has not done since he was weaned. Though he has got a tad better in picking up the fruit. Anyway back to the review……… Lazy Town is a upside world with only having 3 human characters ...

"Lock up the lions or they will eat you"

Advantages: Watching Dick Van Dyke dancing off the junk in his trunk
Disadvantages: None for me

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM FILM ONLY REVIEW Night of the Museum is a 2006 film that was adapted from the 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc of the same name. When I saw the line up Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, Steve Coogan, Owen Wilson and even old timers Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney, I just knew that this was a film I wanted to watch. Night at the Museum opens with sad sack Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) about to need to relocate. ...
...he will become the new night guard. Cecil, Gus and Reginald (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs) are the three aging and eccentric guards who are being downsized in favour of young Larry. What Larry doesn't know is that these three men have been holding down a considerably more complicated stronghold than anyone could have imagined after the sun goes down on the museum. Larry is about to find out that being a night guard is less about peace ...

Review of Night At The Museum (DVD)

Just the tip of the iceberg?

Advantages: New character, more fun with Scrat
Disadvantages: Not as funny as the first film

...one, or two, but three Ice Age films! I love to watch things in sequence, so of course this was next on my list. By now we were flying from Doha to Jo’Burg, and to be honest after 6 hours plodding around in 30 degree heat, I was a bit tired. I really enjoyed the first film and was determined to see the second two. Sadly due to my tiredness I only just managed this one. Even then I had to keep replaying it! If you’ve not seen the first film yet, I’d ...
...Story The Ice Age had caused everything to be covered in huge glaciers of ice, but now, that ice is starting to melt. Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger realise that if the animals are to survive, they need to move away from the melting icebergs. Already, the vultures are gathering, sure to pick up any unfortunate creatures that do not survive the journey or get killed in the floods. They know a safer place to go, ...
