...for those who live in a hole or have dementia, A Christmas Carol is the story of Ebonezer Scrooge (Jim Carey) and is passage by fire from twisted, grumpy, old miser who hates Christmas to the very opposite (except he stays old). After the death of Scrooge's business partner, Scrooge has got even more miserable and spiteful than ever and everyone fears and avoids him. Even his sole employee, Bob Cratchet (Gary Oldman) lives in misery, not allowed ...
...this film is so fantastic a telling, this would merely enhance the tediousness of an overly told story but the computer generated recreation and the direction of this film make it wonderful to watch. It’s directed by Robert Zemeckis, the man responsible for The Polar Express and Beowulf . He uses the same sort of 3-D capturing here that he used in those films. Basically this is a technique were he captures the movements etc. of real actors and ...

Review of Hannah Montana - The Movie

The funniest movie ever!!!

Advantages: Buck will crack you up. PS its Simon Clegg!
Disadvantages: Its over really quick,

The first 2 were good, but this one is great. Mostly due to the weasel 'Buck'. Some of the one liners he comes out with are the kind of classic lines that you might end repeating in the pub and all your 'grown up' friends looking at you like you are a loon. I love the fact that makers of some of the great kids movies do some things for us oldies too that the little ones would not understand for a second, yet i am wetting myself. If you have seen ...
...very close to the characters, especially if your kids wath them as much as mine does. Well the good news is they are all still there, with the addition of some newbies along the way. Sid is very funny, Manny is still moody(ps i still cant stop thinking of everybody loves raymond) and the rest have their moments. There really are some key hilarious bits in the movie, of which of course wont say a word. Go see it, you wont regret it, i think you will ...
