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 ...

Oliver Twist is a interesting film. It keeps you glued to your seets and its a film for all the family with bits of comedy and emotion.

Review of Ice Age 3 - Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (DVD)

Father love is also so great and touching

Advantages: Show us father's different expression of LOVE.
Disadvantages: Story is bit of simple.

We normally realize how we were milked and cared by our mothers, and how warm and cozy are the mother loves. After watching this movie, we realized the love from father is also so deep and touching, this might be different than the gentle caring from mother, but father gave us another way of love expression - belief, perseverence, no giving up, and the naturally born sense of responsibility of protecting family, and ensuring they are safe.... I wish ...
...what I meant is that I don't have). What the movis wanted to tell us had successfully entered the deep of my hearth. I feel lucky for Nemo, for having such a dad. The other thread of this movie is about the growth experience of a kid - here the little fish NEMO, and the genereation gap and different way of thinking between kids & parents: Kid wants adventures, they are so curious about the outside world, and can't wait to growp up quickly to experience ...
