Coraline Details: Directed By Henry Selick Release Date8 May 2009 Certification PG Runtime 96 minutes Starring Dakota Fanning Teri Hatcher Jennifer Saunders Dawn French Keith David John Hodgman Robert Bailey Jnr Introduction When this film was advertised on TV, the words my 13 year old brother used were “that looks rubbish”, myself, I thought it looked quite good. I usually love animated films, and I loved the ...
...had nothing to do with Coraline as far as credits are concerned, though I cannot say he didn’t do some art work behind the scenes as I wouldn’t know. So just to clear things up, Tim Burton is nothing to do with this film! :) So anyway, I decided to watch this film on Movies on Demand last night with my husband, I had heard it was a little scary, and that although it had been widely acclaimed, it wasn’t really suitable for young children as it did ...

The Scariest Child's Movie EVER.

Advantages: good voice acting, amazing animation
Disadvantages: a bit scary for little kids.

When Coraline first came to our cinema screens I was looking forward to watching it, until my mum, step dad and sisters told me it wasn't very good. I am quite easily influenced when it comes to films so I decided to steer clear of it despite my boyfriend saying 'Noo, you're really going to like it!' - as I'm a fan of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and the Giant Peach" - none the same but with some amazing animation and a bit of a spooky ...

Ice Age 3

Advantages: Funny
Disadvantages: Nope

...fan of the first two Ice Age Movies, I was very happy to find out that a third was on its way. I somehow forgot about it for a while, but saw it mentioned somewhere and got round to getting hold of the third instalment of one of my favourite animations. ~~~ Cast ~~~ Ray Romano ... Manny John Leguizamo ... Sid Simon Pegg ... Buck Queen Latifah ... Ellie Denis Leary ... Diego ~~~ Synopsis ~~~ After finding some stray eggs, Sid decides ...
...then he is to. Unfortunately for Sid the eggs he "adopts" belong to a Dinosaur. The dinosaur takes Sid and his buddies embark on a journey away to rescue him. ~~~ My Thoughts ~~~ Right from the beginning of the movie when the hilarious and my favourite character Scrat appears on screen, I knew I was going to enjoy it. I wasn't wrong. Right from the beginning the movie is extremely funny and had me glued to the screen for the remainder of ...

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 ...
