Island Of Lost Souls / Mystery Of The Wax Museum (DVD)

Advantages: cute characters, good story, good songs too
Disadvantages: is one in a series, ali isn't all that hot

...whilst they leave the Great Valley and Littlefoot and his friends decide to take matters in their own hands by crossing the "big water" to an unknown island. At the Big water they encounter an old friend from The Land Before Time DVD number 2, he's called Chomper, the tiny friendly T-rex. Chomper has to protect the gang from his own carnivorous parents, which adds tension to the storyline as they have some really close calls! Plenty of drama in this one, you're sure to enjoy as we all did :) Some fantastic songs, although the graphics and cartoons are pretty much the same as the old style t.v. and video issues. It depends if you prefer this look, although I personally think they could have digitally remastered it a bit more. Of course not to the extent of finding nemo, but perhaps a nice intermediate. Overall a 4 star rating, although... Read review

Advantages: Well crafted, well acted thriller.
Disadvantages: Originality, soundtrack.

...Comparisons are odious, but unfortunately this film invites them. ‘The Exorcist’ set the standard for films about demonic possession. ‘The Omen’ is the classic about the return of Satan to claim his inheritance and ‘Lost Souls’ wants the best of both worlds. It begins with the botched exorcism of a psychiatric patient. During the exorcism the name of the Anti-Christ is revealed to Maya (Winona Ryder) and the film follows her attempts to convince him of the coming Transformation which will occur on his thirty third birthday. The plot then, is not too complex. The real strength of this film is in the characterisation of the main players. Winona Ryder gives a superb performance as a girl teetering on the edge of madness; you can almost feel the pressure. Similarly, Ben Chaplin, who plays Peter... Read review
