Nothing but class and humour thoughout

Advantages: Excellent value and a timeless classic that you would watch time and again.
Disadvantages: Not quite the same if you don't watch it with the kids.

If you havn’t seen this yet, then where have you been? A masterclass in children’s entertainment from the creators of Shrek and Toy Story. With a classic sense of fun, humour and adventure with a cracking storyline that appeals to the younger and adult audiences. Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and many more bring the characters to life in a manner that draws you into the film and twangs those emotional strings. The town of ‘Metropolis’, ...
...setting where the energy of the town is reliant on the screams of children living in a parallel universe and collected by monsters that live at the bottom of your bed. The World is turned upside down by the arrival of ‘Boo’ in an hilarious and heart warming tale. This is a timeless classic that will continue to bring on the laughter for years to come. I have seen the film more than once and each time it delights as you notice different adult quips ...

The sky DID fall!

Advantages: Fish & breakdancing porcupine in end credits
Disadvantages: Goes on a bit to long

...was the entire point of Chicken Little's story (it's basically a misunderstanding on his part) so exactly what are they going to do with the remaining 1 hour and 19 minutes? Some of the jokes in the background (a bird flying into a window, a bull running a china shop) are going to go unnoticed (it seems you'll have to buy this one on DVD and watch it several times, most likely the commentary will point that kind of thing out). Voice talent includes ...
...but was there to set Chicken Little back to not a loser any more only to screw up in people's minds again, when another stop sign shaped object falls from the sky and hits him in the head. This getting hit in the head all the time can't be good for his brain, can it? When the "invisible thing" kidnaps Fish & leads them to the baseball ground (someone's seen "Close Encounters" and Cruise's "War Of The Worlds" then?) it proves to be aliens invading. ...

Review of Chicken Little (DVD)

Hey, you guys! It's the Goonies!

Advantages: classic, fun and adventure.
Disadvantages: A wee bit dated now

...A film that stirs up the same warm feelings that Labyrinth did. That film, is of course, the goonies. Released in 1985, this film is a collaberation of Speilberg, and Colombus. So, it had to be good. Speilberg Has a way with kids films. He seems to blend in that extra touch of magic. The film is best described as an adventure, with a good whack of comedy thrown in. In fact, I think that I actually wet my pants, the first time that I watched it! Mind ...
...The plot ............................................ So, the goonies are a bunch of kids, who grew up on Goon docks, in oregon. They are pretty miserable. You see, their houses are about to be bulldozed by a local country club. Unless they find a substantial amount of cash, then they are gonna be homeless. On this particular day, they go up to the loft, and start looking through some old stuff. After a bit of general mucking about, and having fun, ...

Walk the llama llama

Advantages: Funny, family friendly
Disadvantages: None, really

...Disney films, they are, on the whole, so incredibly watchable, with things to appeal be you 2 or 20, 8 or 80, and everything in between. I find them clever, but not in a frustrating way that means I can't enjoy them at face value. This review is of the Disney film The Emperor's New Groove, what I believe to be the best Disney since Toy Story 2. They have had a bit of a bad patch over the last decade or so, well I think they have, but this is of something ...
...Emperor's New Groove at the cinema. I was still at school, and due to the price of cinema tickets and the fact that my village has a barely existent public transport system (only 1 bus after 6pm, and that's not reliable), I very seldom went to the cinema at the time, still don't as a matter of fact, but The Emperor's New Groove appealed sufficiently that I begged and cajoled until I was given a lift to and from the Metro, so I could get into Newcastle, ...
