What some will do for their nuts!

Advantages: Funniy, educational (to an extent), more original than I'd expected
Disadvantages: A bit strange, but only a bit!

...the films available already, but Ice Age was among those I’d not yet seen. You’ll notice this is not my typical film, but I am going to give it a go at reviewing anyway! Story Well, you’ll never guess when this film is set! That’s right, in the Ice Age! Well, this first film is set right at the start. All the animals are migrating to better ground, except for a mammoth called Manfred or Manny, who seems to be going the wrong way. He then meets ...

Then the two find a baby, that a sabre-toothed tiger, called Diego is trying to claim as his own, and they decide to return the baby to its people, with the tiger guiding them. But can they trust Diego? I love the way this film mixes in all the different animals that surely would never ...

...of the death of the shark gets back to Oscar's town where it is taken the wrong way and suddenly Oscar is a massive celebrity and known as the Shark Slayer. Will Oscar be able to keep up the lie and will Lenny help him or will he tell the truth and go back to his normal job of tongue scrubber? I though this film was great and the story was very funny.

Review of Ice Age / Chicken Run (DVD)

Time to chill!

Advantages: A brilliant, funny and action packed family movie.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...age once and for all. Ice Age brings the old times of wooly mammoths, saber toothed tigers and sloths to the modern age and vamps it up to the latest technology. The movie shows the tale of a child who's mother was killed by a tiger. The father attempts to try and find the child but his young offspring continues to slip away all the while being guided by a sloth, a woolly mamoth and a tiger who's actual mission was to kill the child is then later ...
...young child's affectionate looks and gentle nature. As for the actors' voices it is absolutely fantastic and the whole movie is filled with several little quirks and hilarious turns which all just adds up to possibly the greatest digitally formatted movie of the twenty-first century. In the end my personal thoughts about the whole movie was that it is perfectly made perfectly casted and in the end a movie that is perfect for the whole family anytime ...
