"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)

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 ...

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 ...
