Should have stuck to the books!

Advantages: Wonderful plot for an amazing series
Disadvantages: Strayed too much from the books

...just do not exist with Harry Potter and Hermione. Even though the people who made this movie should have stuck more to the books, the movie it's self is magical and enthralling and it keeps your attention. It is very nice to see the magic come alive on the big screen, no matter how distorted the story line becomes! ...

Kris Kringle Is Not Crackers

Advantages: original version is cleaned up and presented in original black and white
Disadvantages: remake suffers greatly when presented with the original for comparison

...as Kris is released. The miracle has not happened yet though, for that is a miracle of the heart. No, that happens on the way home, as a young Susan sees the house of her dreams on the route Kris has told them to take to avoid traffic. A house, with a cane like Kris' leaned against the chimney and a wedding proposal from Fred to one now thawed hearted Doris. Aww... Starring Maureen O' Hara as Doris, John Payne (Fred Gailey), Edmund Gwenn (Kris Kringle), ...
...is indeed a star studded affair. Natalie Wood's childhood portrayal is precociously good, with no playing for the camera or simpering and makes this a fun film to watch. Maureen O'Hara does quite well with what could have been a difficult role to play. Doris Walker is a complicated character; she is caring, yet cynical and a bit hard, yet with a centre still a bit marshmallowy if you can get past the slightly crunchy exterior. She manages to pull ...

Review of Miracle On 34th Street (1947)/Miracle Of 34th Street (1994) (DVD)

MULAN - *you dont meet a girl like that every dynasty*-by emperor

Advantages: funny, great for whole family to watch
Disadvantages: i really cannot think of any

MULAN This movie is one of my all time favourites i love it. In my opinion it is funny and what makes it funny is the characters in the film you have mulan, the little dragon, the slightly crazy grandma, the soldiers and the 'lucky' cricket all of whom make this film a joy to watch. I believe that this is a great film with a great story line to it. The basic story line is that Mulan who is basically a tomboy who is deemed unmarriable. There ...
...man from every family must go to help fight which means Mulans father who can hardly walk after the last war has to go as there is no son .Mulan takes his place disguising herself as a man. A little dragon is sent by Mulans ancestors to bring her home but he decides to help her instead and make her a war hero. Along with her horse, cricket and dragon she risks everything to save china. I think this film is great for the whole family to watch together ...
