Kiss from one true love.......

Tooth, whole Tooth and nothing but the Tooth...

Advantages: A film for the kids
Disadvantages: Slow build up to a confusing end

...about, as you may imagine, tooth Fairies who have all lost the ability to fly. The central character is a fairy named Tooth, a troublesome girl who likes getting into mischief, however decides to give away all the money to a needy family. This results in chaos and follows the adventures of the families two children and Tooth on a quest to either recover the money, or restore magic to the Tooth Fairies. in a Tooth Fairy named 'Tooth' who gives away ...
...the age group that this film is aimed at, however I do consider myself to be a big kid at heart in many ways. Particularly when you can learn to appreciate the funnier side of Teltubbies after the 200th rendition with your daughter. That said, I felt this file could have been much better. On reading the blurb before watching the film, it suggested one of these magical films with fairies and all sorts of mythical creatures. However the magic seemed ...

...is a part of Tchaikovsky's sleeping beauty. The main character Mary Costa/ Aurora sings to this music as she dances with her pets and animals and later on with her prince: I know you I walked with you once upon a dream.

Good fun!

Advantages: Dialogue, cracking pace, excellent animation
Disadvantages: May not be suitable for children who are old enough to understand innuendo

...for adults as well and Ice Age 3 certainly delivered on that front. I've seen Ice Age2 on TV but not the first film and never in the cinema. On top of that this was a 3D show. The story essentially follows Manny, the mammoth, his heavily pregnant wife, Ellie and Diego, the sabre toothed tiger as they venture under the ice to a land where dinosaurs are not extinct. They do this to try and rescue Sid, who feeling unloved due to the impending arrival ...
...subsequently been carried off with his 'children' by their real mother. In dinosaur world they meet Buck, the weasel with the Sylvester Stallone eyepatch and knife, the British accent (Simon Pegg voices him) and the literary connections to Captain Ahab of Moby Dick (both have been left injured by 'the great white beast', both are unnaturally obsessed and slightly unhinged by it). As a sideline, Scratt is still seeking his acorn but this time there ...

"I thought you guys were extinct?"

Advantages: amazing picture quality, good fun for all the family!
Disadvantages: Cant think of any.

I bought my wife Ice Age 3 for Christmas. She asked for it. Can't say its my type of film, but being a loving husband I sat down and watched it with her anyway. The first thing that struck me, being a blu ray, is the amazing quality. Animated films and comic-esque outings (like the Simpsons) always take full advantage of the High Definition nature of blu ray and make a movie a pleasure for the eye to behold. Ice Age 3 is quite possibly the best example ...
...were apparently living below the ice and meeting a swash buckling weasel who helps save the day. All the while, we get to watch the fun adventures of the little chap chasing his acorn, that have been present in the past films. This time, there's a love interest!! Its quite a good watch and plenty of fun for all the family. The usual deleted scenes and such are present, I can't say I watched them though, sorry, but its not my cup-of-tea, as I said. ...
