Advantages: Enteraining , Good acting Disadvantages: None!
It's almost Christmas and so I thought I would write a Christmas-y review. I've decided to write my review about one of my favourite ever Christmas movies : Miracle on 34th Street.
I remember the first time I saw this movie was when I was about eight years old. My best friend and I used to swap loads of videos over the holidays. One holiday ,my friend let me borrow this video to watch over the school Christmas holidays. Ever since then , I have watched this movie every Christmas.

I would recommend this film to all ice-hockey fans, and fans of the film, 'The Mighty Ducks.'
The extras that come with the film are very basic, with only outtakes and the making of Miracle included. Though some of the outtakes proved to be hilarious. I would have preferred to see other bonus material such as interviews with the cast.
At around only £5 this film is definitely worthwhile! ...

Advantages: Alot Better Than I Was Expecting Disadvantages: Not the Most Amazing Film Ever
Disneyland fun, but when I saw Miracle on DVD I decided to rent it and I am glad that I did. Sure all the usual clichés are there, but somehow this movie rises above them and manages to become a fairly engaging and touching little sports flick.
The opening credits were the first thing that surprised me about Miracle, we are greeted by a rousing montage of America's modern history that spans from the late seventies to early nineties. This serves its purpose by introducing us into a time in the U.S that was hard and when people were feeling as if they were the underdogs offering a rich and surprisingly effective way of getting the audience to sit up and listen.
Kurt Russell's performance is really good as the harsh but brilliant Herb Brook. I completely believed his character and thought that he established an effective bond ...

DVD Description
Annie (Bette Davis), an ageing apple-seller, passes herself off as a woman of wealth in order to impress her daughter's fiance. Young Louise (Ann-Margret) has just returned from years in Spain and hopes to marry into the well to-do family of a Count. Assisting Annie in her comic charade is a motley group of small-time-gangsters who love Annie and would do anything to help her. Director Frank Capra re-made his own LADY FOR A DAY for this, his final film.
