"Lock up the lions or they will eat you"

Advantages: Watching Dick Van Dyke dancing off the junk in his trunk
Disadvantages: None for me

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM FILM ONLY REVIEW Night of the Museum is a 2006 film that was adapted from the 1993 children's book by Milan Trenc of the same name. When I saw the line up Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, Steve Coogan, Owen Wilson and even old timers Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney, I just knew that this was a film I wanted to watch. Night at the Museum opens with sad sack Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) about to need to relocate. ...
...he will become the new night guard. Cecil, Gus and Reginald (Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs) are the three aging and eccentric guards who are being downsized in favour of young Larry. What Larry doesn't know is that these three men have been holding down a considerably more complicated stronghold than anyone could have imagined after the sun goes down on the museum. Larry is about to find out that being a night guard is less about peace ...

Review of Madagascar (DVD)

I like to move it, move it!

Advantages: Animation was amazing. Cool plot
Disadvantages: We could have seen more of Madagascar

Madagascar is one of those family animated films with lots of animals which you expect to be a let-down. This was NOT a let-down! The plot was very funny and there were some funny jokes in it as well for the whole family. The animation is very good and how often do you see animals escape from places like New York City, get on a boat and they fight in crates. Then they land on Madagascar! That must have had a LOT of thought going into this movie! ...
...The penguin's Christmas...who can forget this. Private sees Ted the polarbear who's sad this Christmas so Private escapes from the zoo and onto the streets of NY to try and get him a present. He ends up becoming a Christmas present himself for an old ladys maniac dog called Mr. Chew! You won't be able to stop laughing when you see this again and again and again! ...

Review of Madagascar / Penguin Christmas Caper (Animated) (DVD)

A movie to the max!

Advantages: characters, plot, price
Disadvantages: /

...order, which meant starting with Billboard Dad. This film was made in 1998, when the girls were just twelve! It seems so long ago now, and indeed I could not fully remember the story. So for that reason, I could not wait to sit down and watch! But what was all the excitement about? Billboard Dad is set in Los Angeles. It is the story of two little girls, called Tess and Emily, and their Dad, Max. Having lost their mum not too long ago, their Dad ...
...a billboard advert for him (think 'Personals' to the max!), but behind his back. When women start to write to him he is quite shocked, unaware of his giant publicity. But when he realises what has happened, he soon comes round to the idea, if not only for his girls. Can he find somebody who can make him happy, or will the huge billboard be a figure of bad memory? When I first started watching this film now, I wasn't sure what to expect. I recall ...

Review of Billboard Dad (DVD)

His life is fantastic, his neighbours...not so fantastic

Advantages: Full of hilarious witty humour, great old-fashioned animation
Disadvantages: Lots of things that are unsuitable for children, a little slow in places

...Little does he know that the farms he steals from are owned by the three meanest farmers around - Boggis, Bunce and Bean. And when the farmers find out a fox has been stealing from them, they decide to do anything it takes to get rid of the mangy fox and his family. Now Mr Fox has to fight to save, not only his own family, but the families of all the others animals nearby, whose lives he has endangered. ~ Cast ~ Mr Fox - George Clooney Mrs Fox ...
...don’t remember ever having read the book Fantastic Mr Fox which is written by Roald Dahl, but this looked like a great classic film that I had to see. The animation is slightly strange as it isn't modern and bright like most animation is today but it had an old-fashioned kind of feel to it. The way the characters moved and the general feel of the animation seemed old. This was the only thing that originally put me off seeing the film but it actually ...
