What some will do for their nuts!

Advantages: Funniy, educational (to an extent), more original than I'd expected
Disadvantages: A bit strange, but only a bit!

...the films available already, but Ice Age was among those I’d not yet seen. You’ll notice this is not my typical film, but I am going to give it a go at reviewing anyway! Story Well, you’ll never guess when this film is set! That’s right, in the Ice Age! Well, this first film is set right at the start. All the animals are migrating to better ground, except for a mammoth called Manfred or Manny, who seems to be going the wrong way. He then meets ...
...with two angry rhinos, and helps him out. Unfortunately, he didn’t bank on Sid then deciding to make him his personal bodyguard and follow him around everywhere! Then the two find a baby, that a sabre-toothed tiger, called Diego is trying to claim as his own, and they decide to return the baby to its people, with the tiger guiding them. But can they trust Diego? I love the way this film mixes in all the different animals that surely would never ...

Review of Ice Age (DVD)

Just the tip of the iceberg?

Advantages: New character, more fun with Scrat
Disadvantages: Not as funny as the first film

...one, or two, but three Ice Age films! I love to watch things in sequence, so of course this was next on my list. By now we were flying from Doha to Jo’Burg, and to be honest after 6 hours plodding around in 30 degree heat, I was a bit tired. I really enjoyed the first film and was determined to see the second two. Sadly due to my tiredness I only just managed this one. Even then I had to keep replaying it! If you’ve not seen the first film yet, I’d ...
...Story The Ice Age had caused everything to be covered in huge glaciers of ice, but now, that ice is starting to melt. Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth and Diego the sabre-toothed tiger realise that if the animals are to survive, they need to move away from the melting icebergs. Already, the vultures are gathering, sure to pick up any unfortunate creatures that do not survive the journey or get killed in the floods. They know a safer place to go, ...

Review of Ice Age 2 - The Meltdown (Blu-Ray)

The funniest movie ever!!!

Advantages: Buck will crack you up. PS its Simon Clegg!
Disadvantages: Its over really quick,

The first 2 were good, but this one is great. Mostly due to the weasel 'Buck'. Some of the one liners he comes out with are the kind of classic lines that you might end repeating in the pub and all your 'grown up' friends looking at you like you are a loon. I love the fact that makers of some of the great kids movies do some things for us oldies too that the little ones would not understand for a second, yet i am wetting myself. If you have seen ...
...very close to the characters, especially if your kids wath them as much as mine does. Well the good news is they are all still there, with the addition of some newbies along the way. Sid is very funny, Manny is still moody(ps i still cant stop thinking of everybody loves raymond) and the rest have their moments. There really are some key hilarious bits in the movie, of which of course wont say a word. Go see it, you wont regret it, i think you will ...

Review of Ice Age 3 - Dawn Of The Dinosaurs

Time to chill!

Advantages: A brilliant, funny and action packed family movie.
Disadvantages: Absolutely none!

...age once and for all. Ice Age brings the old times of wooly mammoths, saber toothed tigers and sloths to the modern age and vamps it up to the latest technology. The movie shows the tale of a child who's mother was killed by a tiger. The father attempts to try and find the child but his young offspring continues to slip away all the while being guided by a sloth, a woolly mamoth and a tiger who's actual mission was to kill the child is then later ...
...young child's affectionate looks and gentle nature. As for the actors' voices it is absolutely fantastic and the whole movie is filled with several little quirks and hilarious turns which all just adds up to possibly the greatest digitally formatted movie of the twenty-first century. In the end my personal thoughts about the whole movie was that it is perfectly made perfectly casted and in the end a movie that is perfect for the whole family anytime ...
