...not the complete DVD. Shrek is tricked into having a traditional family Christmas. However he has no idea how to do it, not only he never experienced Christmas he doesn't even know what Christmas is. So he sets out to find out how. A trip into town gets him a handbook of Christmas For Village Idiots from the bookstore.

...babies. As Shrek tries to tell his own version of "A Visit from St. Nicholas (the night before Christmas), Gingerbread Man , Donkey, and Puss in Boots interrupt and each tell their own version of a Christmas story.

Transformers tranform on to blu - ray

Advantages: Good film with excellent special effects
Disadvantages: none

Transformers was a cartoon series that was first shown about 1985. It was about cars and other vehicles that can change into robots. These toys were big and every young schoolboy wanted the latest to add to their collection. Over time the fad for these toys slowly dwindled away. Then they transform onto our screens again 20 years later. The film is about the fight between the autobots, who are the good guys, and the decepticons who are the nasty ...
...which is an artifact that can create and destroy worlds. The all spark is discovered to be on earth buried deep underground. The 2 main characters in the film are Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes. They are played by Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox. When i first saw this film advertised i thought it would not be something i would want to watch. I found myself staying with friends and they had the movie and put it on to pass a few hours, and i was in for ...

Talking Polar Bears!?!?!

Advantages: Some good special effects
Disadvantages: Poor ending, repetitive, poor acting by some

...night I decided to give the Golden Compass a go. Released in December 2007 this film was based on Phillip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' books. There was a huge amount of hype and publicity surrounding the release of this film but did it live up to it's hype? In my opinion no! The Plot In this film humans souls are carried outside the body in the form of an animal called a 'demon'. These demons take many forms ranging from dogs to rats and accompany ...
...are portrayed in the film as each humans best friend. The Golden Compass is based around the story of a young orphaned girl called Lyra who resides at a college in Oxford. Many of the local children have been mysteriously disappearing and Lyra tells stories of Gobblers who she believes are responsible.

Enchanted's Enchantedly Enchanting

Advantages: Great cast. Great songs. Cleverly references other Disney films
Disadvantages: There's a really annoying chipmunk

...on her way into an enchanted fountain, where there is no 'Happily Ever After'…and sends her to New York City (the REAL one, not an animated one), for if Giselle married her step-son, then Narissa would no longer be Queen! The fountain transforms Giselle into a real life human. So, she has to get back to the land of singing, animated animals, known as Andalasia…somehow…but how will she get there? Along the way she meets and 'enchants' a real life ...
...get weirder Prince Edward jumps into the fountain as guided by Pip, a talking chipmunk (no sign of Alvin, Simon or Theodore, thanks very much) to rescue his true love to make her Queen…But of course, the evil step-mother/Queen Narissa finds this out and sends her incompetent henchman, Nathaniel along to stop him…needless to say he doesn't manage it, so Queen Narissa needs to go herself. Amy Adams (Charlie Wilson's War) is stunning as Giselle. Her ...

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. ...
