Advantages: People have loved much worse films. Disadvantages: If your a fan of Toriyama you probably won't let yourself like it.
Dragonball Evolution!!! Being based loosely on Akira Toriyama's manga "Dragonball" means that people reading this review will fall into three categories; Die-hard fans of the manga, people who have seen the trailer for the film and want to know more, and of course those who stumble across it wondering what on earth a Dragonball is. Allow me to bring you down to Toriyama's level; Dragonball Evolution represents the Dragonballs faithfully. As can be ... ...am forever banned from the Dragonball fan-club for even trying to write good things but the truth is there, this film was hilariously good fun! It's at this point that I would usually tell a little of the story, but to be honest the script was so light I can sum it up in one sentence. Son Goku (the 18 year old with spiky hair) needs to beat Piccolo (an alien who escaped his "prison") to finding the Dragonballs or the world is doomed. That is seriously ...
Advantages: Kills a bit of time Disadvantages: Poor story, poor acting

Advantages: Magical story, fun family entertainment Disadvantages: Typical Sandler silly in places
...good at doing is telling bedtime stories with the help of a goggly eyed hamster and the children. But when their imaginative stories begin to come true, Skeeter sees an opportunity to get everything he's ever dreamed of. ~ Cast ~ Skeeter Bronson - Adam Sandler Jill - Keri Russell Mickey - Russell Brand Patrick - Jonathan Morgan Heit Bobbi - Laura Ann Kesling Kendall - Guy Pearce Barry Nottingham - Richard Griffiths Violet Nottingham - Teresa Palmer ... ...are attempting to steer the bedtime stories in a direction which will be beneficial to them by trying to add more grown up things into the stories such as sexy women, lots of money and revenge on those who deserve it. These parts are more comical and more appropriate for the adults in the audience which does make this a great film for the whole family. There is still a lingering of Sandler's stupid humour which pops up occasionally throughout the ...

Review of Bedtime Stories
Advantages: Funny, good animation, same great characters Disadvantages: Short and predictable
Wallace and Gromit - A Matter of Loaf and Death is a 30 minute Wallace and Gromit animation made by Nick Park. This episode was shown on Christmas Day on the BBC. The plot is about Wallace and Gromit being bakers but sadly there is someone who is going about and murdering all the bakers. They have got 12 so far but will they get a baker's dozen? Piella Bakewell is Wallace's love interest this time and there is more to her than meets the eye. The ... ...however is similar to other Wallace and Gromit films which is a bit of a shame considering the amount of time between this and the last Wallace and Gromit episode. I wish though that the film had lasted a little longer at least an hour long as it was still really enjoyable but just was similar and short. However I suppose if I wanted more it probably is a sign that I like it which means it must be quite good. This short film is suitable for everyone ...
Advantages: Pleasant film Disadvantages: Rehashed story
...therefore names the new fairy Tinker Bell. Excited at first Tinker Bell follows the other tinkers to their workshop, but soon she realises that some fairies think that the tinkers are less important that they are, and to make things worse, Tinker Bell finds that she will not be allowed to fly to the mainland to help bring in the spring. So Tinker Bell decides to find a new talent, which can only spell disaster. Cast Mae Whitman ... Tinker Bell ... ...It keeps the character of Tinker Bell quite well, in Peter Pan she's jealous of the attention Peter gets, and in this film we can see that jealous streak again when she realises that other fairies get to go to the mainland and she can't. The animation is very nice, it looks like an old style Disney film in that the characters are soft and well proportioned, but it has a modern look due to the CGI techniques used. Unlike most Disney films it didn't ...
