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 ...

...video, every single week, from the video shop in my local town. I was obsessed with "The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe" and I could never stop watching it. The tale captured my imagination and everything about it was so magical and lovely. Years later, this is still one of my all-time favourite films. BRIEF PLOT SUMMARY Peter, Susan, Edmund & Lucy are evacuees from London, and move to stay with the Professor in a large house, where Lucy ...

As a child, I read and loved the Narnia books by C S Lewis. I also enjoyed the recent adaptation of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Chronicals of Narnia

Advantages: Family Fun
Disadvantages: Can make you too cheery

...as a christmas present and the novalty value of remembering my childhood was wonderful...but watching it was even better. As it is a series rather then a film it fully tells the story and is more faithful to the books. Even though it was filmed before special effects I do not think this really impacts on the quality - as it is set in war tme the age of this series adds a certain charm to it. Not only have I enjoyed re-watching this but my my nephews ...
...real christmasy feel about it and really puts you in the festive mood. Please remember this box set includes The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair. Which means four times the fun. Enjoy, family fun garenteed. ...
