Wonderful Literary Chick Flick Trilogy Box Set

Advantages: Well acted, Great Book Adaptation Storylines, Fun for All Ages
Disadvantages: Each Movie is About Three Hours Long

...the wonder and story of Anne Shirley. If your not familiar with this movie trilogy or the books, let me help you understand in a brief summary. Anne Shirley is an orphan in the early 1900's who gets adopted (quite by accident) by an old spinster woman and her bachelor brother. She's full of imagination and kindness in the midst of being mistreated as a child. Her love of life and sometimes overdramatic personality wins her new adopted family over. ...
...first movie takes you through Anne and her childhood through around the age of 17. You see her go through the trials of being past around from Orphanage to foster home most of her child life. Her pre-teen foster care was with families that were only using her to babysit their other children. To say they treated her inhumane is an understatement. She's given up to an orphanage at the age of 12 and someone finally gives her an opportunity to be adopted ...

Review of Anne Of Green Gables (Box Set) (DVD)

Great boxset!

Advantages: Convenient to keep them together. Great prices around.
Disadvantages: Individual boxes smaller than normal.

In my opinion this boxset (bought for £17 from HMV) was great value. It was much cheaper than buying all individually. I only had one of the movies on dvd and had the earlier ones on VHS so I needed an update. All five parts are great quality films! It's handy that all five come in separate boxes within the one cover because they won't get lost. Each individual box is smaller than the normal DVD box size and perhaps this is worth noting. I've watched ...
...for family viewing although it is worth bearing in mind that the films seem to get a bit more scary as they progress (number 5 is particularly scary). Parental guidance is reccommended if buying this movie for very young children. In my opinion the violence and fear-factor is mild-to-moderate but is no worse than a lot of movies nowadays. I do wonder what will happen when the sixth movie is released on dvd and whether a new boxset will be available ...

Review of Harry Potter - Years 1-5 (Box Set) (DVD)

Nothing but class and humour thoughout

Advantages: Excellent value and a timeless classic that you would watch time and again.
Disadvantages: Not quite the same if you don't watch it with the kids.

If you havn’t seen this yet, then where have you been? A masterclass in children’s entertainment from the creators of Shrek and Toy Story. With a classic sense of fun, humour and adventure with a cracking storyline that appeals to the younger and adult audiences. Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi and many more bring the characters to life in a manner that draws you into the film and twangs those emotional strings. The town of ‘Metropolis’, ...
...setting where the energy of the town is reliant on the screams of children living in a parallel universe and collected by monsters that live at the bottom of your bed. The World is turned upside down by the arrival of ‘Boo’ in an hilarious and heart warming tale. This is a timeless classic that will continue to bring on the laughter for years to come. I have seen the film more than once and each time it delights as you notice different adult quips ...

Review of Monsters, Inc. (DVD)

shrek movie review

Advantages: Good price
Disadvantages: Takes to long to get you into the film

...hulk and now its shrek. Shrek is fun for all the family as it provides humour for the all ages. With jokes of a farting nature and some jokes with double entembre's which may be interpretated in a sexual nature. Sherk subdues many of the characters as what is excepted of each charachter is changed. This adds to the reason why this is such a great movie. It is an adaptation of the book by william steig. The movie provides a different but original ...
