Third Best 'A Christmas Carol' film

Advantages: Looks very Christmassy, Well Directed
Disadvantages: The people look creepy

...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 ...

X-citing summer cinema: Origins of Wolverine

Advantages: Strong cast, great effects, lovely Canadian wilderness
Disadvantages: Unlikely to change your life or challenge you mentally

...I've seen all of the X-men films so far and have a brother who is rather into graphic novels so I did not go in expecting a life-changing cinematic experience. When you go to see a film based on a graphic novel, particularly one that is an origin story so you know where the character winds up eventually, you must make sure that you're in the correct mental space. There are going to be some very cheesy lines. Some of the characters are going to wear ...
...the most popular of the x-men and so was chosen for the first of what they hope will be many origin stories to add to the X-men franchise. Directed by Gavin Hood, the film begins in the 19th century in the wilds of Canada with young wolverine, James, and his brother Victor, who becomes Sabretooth though the name is not used in the film, running away from home after murdering their father. It then quickly pans through the boys growing up and fighting ...

Everything Is Not As It Seems

Advantages: Fun for all the family (yes that includes us adults!)
Disadvantages: None really

Wizards of Waverly Place – The Movie Please note: This review is on the film only - not the DVD! When you leave your childhood behind, you are expected to grow up, perhaps watch serious documentaries and news channels – yeah right! With my own daughter as well as my younger brother and sister there is always some sort of childrens programme on the television and I have to admit that secretly I actually enjoy some of them, especially some of the films ...
...characters backgrounds etc. Wizards of Waverly Place is a relatively new series that originally aired in 2007. was created by Todd J. Greenwald, and stars Selena Gomez, David Henrie and Jake T. Austin, as three siblings with magical abilities. As I write this review, it has just began showing its third series. The series is about the Russo family, mainly the three sibling wizards; Alex, Justin and Max (Alex being the middle sister – not a boy!). ...
