Harry potter 1-5 dvd

Advantages: great film,
Disadvantages: parts from the book not in the film

All of the harry potter films are fantastic action adventure films. I think that they are brilliant films to watch with your family as all the films have a great story. In my opinion the harry potter series is one of the greatest of them all. Reading the Harry potter books help with the story line but it is not needed as it is very easy to follow compared to films like the Matrix ect. The Harry potter films are a must see in my opinion. I think that ...
...on something great. Im really looking forward to the final film if it's anything like the others it is going to be fantastic. The firstHarry Potter movie is the story of an ordinary boy who lives in a closit of his aunt and uncle's home and he knows nothing about his potential as a magician, until the day of his eleventh birthday when Hagrid the giant reveals things that his aunt and uncle have kept secret all of his life. J K Rowling has written ...

say please and thankyou!

Advantages: fun family film
Disadvantages: tips for children to be naughty

...fun sunday afternoon!! Nanny Mcphee is a modern day Mary Poppins with a slight twist. The film starts off with Mr Cedric brown (Colin Firth) telling you about the story that is to come with the picture showing a pink chair, which his late wife used to sit in. Mr Brown has seven children who are very naughty to say the least and have already just seen off the 17th nanny and when he goes to try and get another nanny to work for him the door is closed ...

Disadvantages: Not that many songs

...which holds the secret of Treasure Planet. Jim Hawkins, who is the main character, succesfully finds the map that will lead him to the treasure from a houndred worlds. In my opinion this is not your usual Disney animation. There is not enough music and not that many jokes but it works nevertheless. During the whole film you feel like you are in a different world and you start imaginating being there with these characters. I am a huge Disney buff ...
...is a robot deserted on Treasure Planet. Even though he has his funny moments I still think he is sometimes too much. Another important feature that all Disney films must have is great music and lots of it, which I felt was missing in Treasure Planet. Despite this it is a fantastic adaption of the book Treasure Island and having Emma Thompshon as one of the characters cannot be anything else but brillian. ...

Modern Day Mary Poppins?

Advantages: great family film
Disadvantages: probably only watch once

OK, so I'm nearly 23 but I've wanted to see this film since I saw it advertised when it was at the cinema. Not being able ton convince anyone that they too want to watch it I decided to watch it once lonely Saturday night. I had visioned a bit of a twist on Mary Poppins but this wasn't to be. I do not want to give away the plot. The film is aimed at children however I did enjoy it! It did have it's twists and turns and so the plot wasn't entirely ...
...of the film is but I wouldn't recommend letting young children watch it alone, anything about 8 or 10 will probably be fine on their own. This film had some great acting from Colin Firth but inparticular from Simon, the young boy. I'm sure I've seen him in something before but can't quite place what. Children will find the film funny and perhaps scary in parts but it's a non stop film with no scenes there just to fill. Great family film for a rainy ...

Review of Nanny McPhee/Peter Pan (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 ...
