Third Best 'A Christmas Carol' film

Advantages: Looks very Christmassy, Well Directed
Disadvantages: The people look creepy

...for those who live in a hole or have dementia, A Christmas Carol is the story of Ebonezer Scrooge (Jim Carey) and is passage by fire from twisted, grumpy, old miser who hates Christmas to the very opposite (except he stays old). After the death of Scrooge's business partner, Scrooge has got even more miserable and spiteful than ever and everyone fears and avoids him. Even his sole employee, Bob Cratchet (Gary Oldman) lives in misery, not allowed ...
...this film is so fantastic a telling, this would merely enhance the tediousness of an overly told story but the computer generated recreation and the direction of this film make it wonderful to watch. It’s directed by Robert Zemeckis, the man responsible for The Polar Express and Beowulf . He uses the same sort of 3-D capturing here that he used in those films. Basically this is a technique were he captures the movements etc. of real actors and ...

* A bugs life *

Advantages: Enjoyment
Disadvantages: None

...life< I found that a bug’s life was a great film for both adults and children alike. I thought Flick had some great ideas and used his ideas really well and imaginative, encouraging children to be like him, I loved his inventions and how he carried it through to a conclusion, I also like it how he apologised and how he tried to make amends. Being a student studying childcare I found this film to be a great way to calm children and let them relax. ...

The little family just got bigger!

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 ...
