Good but not as good as the original!

Advantages: Still funny, good charcaters
Disadvantages: Not as good as the first Shrek

Shrek 3 is apparently better than the previous two Shrek movies. I disagree and would say the first movie was better and that the characters have lost a bit of novelty however I would still say that this is an excellent family film. The film follows on from the previous Shrek and starts with Shrek searching for a boy called Arthur because the King of Far Far Away has died and as Shrek is next in line but does not want to be King he tries to find ...
...rule Far Far Away and Shrek has to think about becoming a father! The characters and the actors are the same as the previous films and my favourite character has to be donkey as I find his voice hilarious! Shrek is played by Mike Myers, Fiona by Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy is Donkey and Puss in the Boots with many other funny characters including the Gingerbread Man, Pinocchio and the 3 Pigs. This is a good addition to the series but I do wonder how ...

Review of Shrek The Third (DVD)

The story of a boy who never grew up by a man who never grew up.

Advantages: A heartfelt, beautiful film, and one of the best dramas I've seen in years.
Disadvantages: None really - ignore my little rant!

FINDING NEVERLAND Michael: Mummy, can we have Uncle Jim for dinner? Sylvia: Have him to stay for dinner, Michael. We're not cannibals. A FILM ONLY REVIEW I could say that I watched 'Finding Neverland' as I am a huge fan of Peter Pan, or that I am fascinated by creative process, and wanted to see the writer at work. Or I could be honest and say that I like Johnny Depp's films!! 'Finding Neverland ' is a 2004 biopic about playwright ...
...a resounding flop Finding Neverland is really the story of Barrie's unfolding friendship with four young boys: George, Jack, Michael and Peter Llewelyn Davies (Freddie Highmore) and their recently widowed mother Sylvia (Kate Winslet). In this (semi - fictional story), Barrie meets the family as they are playing and flying kites in Kensington Gardens while he is sat there writing, and consoling himself about the failure of his play. Barrie's platonic ...

Review of Finding Neverland (DVD)

Tim Burton is A Class

Advantages: Interesting characters, expertly created
Disadvantages: Songs can get stuck in your head

...Nightmare Before Christmas is about the Pumpkin King Jack Skellington who doesn't get fulfilled in doing Halloween every year anymore and stumbles across Christmas where he decides to take over the job of 'Sandy Claws' where havoc is created. This film has it all - the humor, the love story and the Boogie man! I thoroughly enjoyed this film especially the songs 'This is Halloween' and 'What's This?' It has kept me entertained many years after getting ...
...including the little ones. It was even really good entertainment when it came out in 3D in the cinemas. In my opinion, Tim Burton has a great mind and this comes across in his films (Edward Scissorhands, Sleepyhollow) and I look forward to his Alice in Wonderland film. I would recommend this film and others by Tim Burton to other people. ...

Transformers tranform on to blu - ray

Advantages: Good film with excellent special effects
Disadvantages: none

Transformers was a cartoon series that was first shown about 1985. It was about cars and other vehicles that can change into robots. These toys were big and every young schoolboy wanted the latest to add to their collection. Over time the fad for these toys slowly dwindled away. Then they transform onto our screens again 20 years later. The film is about the fight between the autobots, who are the good guys, and the decepticons who are the nasty ...
...which is an artifact that can create and destroy worlds. The all spark is discovered to be on earth buried deep underground. The 2 main characters in the film are Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes. They are played by Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox. When i first saw this film advertised i thought it would not be something i would want to watch. I found myself staying with friends and they had the movie and put it on to pass a few hours, and i was in for ...

Review of Transformers (Blu-Ray)

* 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. ...
