Enchanting Enchanted

Advantages: Great fun for all the family
Disadvantages: not long enough!

I firth watched this film when I sent my husband out to blockbusters to hire "Stardust" on DVD and he came back with "Enchanted" instead! I have been hooked ever since! From a quick glance you would be forgiven for thinking this is a film just for children, especially little girls, but I have to say after watching it once, I even got my husband to admit he liked it! It starts off in cartoon animation, with Giselle, living in the forest with her ...
...a giant ogre but is saved by handsome prince edward. They are about to live happily ever after until Edwards evil stepmother pushes her into a magical wishing well and she ends up in modern day new york. This is when the film turns into live action. She is not treated very well by the busy New Yorkers and finds herself alone and lost until a lawyer named robert and his daughter take pity on her and help her. Meanwhile edward, helped by pip (Giselles) ...

Review of Enchanted (DVD)

Tarzan and Jane

Advantages: None that I can think of.
Disadvantages: Many - read the review.

...- just the film) Tarzan is one of those stories most people know (or at least know a version of it) or are at least familiar with. The story I know is the Disney version - Tarzan is raised by gorillas then meets Jane and falls in love with her. You know, it's one of those lovey dovey stories (although there is a lot of action in it - remember it's animated though, don't get your hopes up). Anyway, I spotted the sequal in Oxfam and it's a film I ...
...is little to do with Tarzan being raised by gorillas, which was a part I liked (I mean, who honestly wouldn't want to be raised by gorillas - it would be a welcome relief for me from our dangerous, violent, corrupt society). There was also far too much romance in it. It was all to do with Tarzan and Jane being in love and the central theme was Jane thinking about what to do for their aniversary. Another thing was that it wasn't just one story - ...

Review of Tarzan And Jane (Animated) (DVD)

Tarzan Special Edition/ Tarzan 2

Advantages: excelent animation and wonderful music and special features of Tarzan
Disadvantages: storyline of Tarzan 2

I absolutely adored Tarzan when I first saw it and I now have got the Dvd of it. However, I was very disappointed with Tarzan 2. However, I believe that very small children will enjoy Tarzan 2. The animation of both movies was fantastic, however the storyline of the second film was less than satisfactory in contrast to the first film's, which was fantastic. I felt that all the songs in the first film were very good and had very catchy music and lyrics. ...
...I feel that they have been repeating the same format used for other disney films. The animation is very sophisticated and you really feel as if you are in the jungle and surfing the trees with Tarzan. I would advise people to buy the original film, but not necessarily the sequal, unless you have a very young child. ...

Review of Tarzan - Special Edition / Tarzan 2 (Animated) (DVD)

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 ...

Review of Ice Age 3 - Dawn Of The Dinosaurs (DVD)

"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. ...
