Review: An original....Elijah Wood, in particular, holds the screen -- he has a beautifully inquisitive face, with eyes like liquid marbles... (Entertainment Weekly, )
...Evans's thoughtful script and the uncliched performances of Wood and Mazzello exert a powerful grip. The film stays with you... (Rolling Stone, )
Advantages: It's the last in the series, Good story, nicely rounded up Disadvantages: however i'm sure there might be another one day
...Ok, here it is, the final installment in a twelve part series of DVD's from the blast from the past - ''the land before time'' childrens film series. I am quite lucky to own this as is currently a pre-release and I've only got my hands on this due to the fact that my American uncle loves me, also we let him stay everynow and then. But more importantly is probably because he's such a wonderful person and he knows how much The Land Before Time Films are my favourite and always manage to make me cry. This one's entitled ''Day of The Flyers' and concentrates on Petrie.
COST: This is a pre-released DVD

Advantages: Faced paced story Disadvantages: A simple plot device.
...at the ungodly hour of 3 a.m. so if reading this the movie does not seem familiar to you that now you?ll know why. In another twist of fate while small ridiculous movies have been released in the UK in DVD form, American Flyers still has not been released this side of the water, and its highly unlikely it will.
Onto the movie itself made in 1984, and released in 1985 American Flyers is arguably one the last sporting movies made; The story circles around the Sommers family, and a curse that has effected them. Some years before the story begins the two boys Marcus and David?s father died. Choosing not to stick around due to his mother?s lack of compassion over the situation; Marcus up and left moving many miles away and setting up a new life for himself, leaving David behind. David a bit of a sad loner spends his days riding a bike round St Louis...

Advantages: mix of songs, no obvious filler Disadvantages: maybe childish in parts
...Mcfly, having recently split from their record label, made a deal with the Mail on Sunday to distribute their newest album, 'Radio:Active' with the newspaper, an aim to reach it's vast readership. Having had great success with their previous three albums, and a greatest hits compilation, as well as sell-out tours accross Britain, they have released a new album to fully establish themselves as the premiere pop/rock band in the UK, a genre they have dominated since Busted split.
Radio:Active starts with a 70's feeling song, 'Do Ya, an upbeat number giving Danny, Tom and Dougie to demonstarte the harmonies they specialise in. It is an excellent track to open with, full of fun and synonomous with the style that has made McFly the force they are. They slow the tone with second song 'Falling in love', a classily put together mid-paced song...
