Third Best 'A Christmas Carol' film

Advantages: Looks very Christmassy, Well Directed
Disadvantages: The people look creepy

...for those who live in a hole or have dementia, A Christmas Carol is the story of Ebonezer Scrooge (Jim Carey) and is passage by fire from twisted, grumpy, old miser who hates Christmas to the very opposite (except he stays old).

...this film is so fantastic a telling, this would merely enhance the tediousness of an overly told story but the computer generated recreation and the direction of this film make it wonderful to watch.

Good old Mr Toad!

Advantages: funny, appeals to all ages, good actors
Disadvantages: you will likely already know the plot

This is the latest version on dvd of the Wind in the Willows which was released out on dvd 26/03/2007. I found this version of the classic tale to be the greatest version yet and i think Matt Lucas from little Britain play a quality character as good old Mr Toad. This dvd will appeal to children and adults alike, definately a must see film. The film is set in the english countryside with lovely picturesque views, the dialogue of the characters and ...
...your little rowing boat across the river. costumes - very detailed, although i doubt anyone would want to wear the simple clothes of Mole or Badger, the lovely suits worn by Mr Toad, Rat and the weasels are simply divine. soundtrack - very upbeat and jolly music when all is well and good but things turn sinister when theres a weasel around. story - The weasels have bought a field from Mr Toad leaving poor Mole (lee ingleby) without a place to call ...
