Advantages: Good idea Disadvantages: Poor execution
...maybe I should have. Whilst The Sun may have it’s knockers (sorry), it does carry a reasonable movie review from time to time so if I can’t compete with that particular literary standard, then I apologise in advance.
Anyway, there has been a trend over recent years for Disney to incorporate one of its theme park-rides into a movie format. Recently, Pirates of the Caribbean drew attention to the Fast Pass inducing pirate ride in Orlando (and other ...

Advantages: a few comic moments, can keep the kids quite Disadvantages: run of the mill, slow in places
...have lost their touch over the years? They haven’t really been making the masterpieces that you used to long before many of us were born. Digital effects company Pixar, responsible for the “Toy Story” films and the recent “Finding Nemo” have been raking in the commission for Disney but when their contract expires with the award winning animated studio: what then? However last year: Disney was responsible for the Summer’s unsuspected success “Pirates ...

Advantages: I suppose the kids will love it Disadvantages: Not Eddie Murphy at best form
...ghoulie story. This film has the Disney stamp all over it, so you can be sure it is jam packed with what I call kiddie content. Which can transpire as god damn boring/tedious to the adult audience.
Meet Jim Evers(Eddie Murphy) Who plays a workaholic estate agent with a definate gift for the gab. Although not to be knocked as this has made him very successful, but not very on the homefront. His partner and wife played by(marsha Thompson) has had ...

Advantages: Short and very easy to follow Disadvantages: Are our kids really so easily entertained??
...took my children to see the Haunted Mansion, expecting laughs and a bit of family fun.
I have to say we all found it weak, even my children, who were not impressed at all by any of the effects and this is usually what wins them over.
The story focused on the lives of realtors in America who decide to take a weekend break away to spend some 'family time' together - oh so done before i have to say. They are then drawn into the Haunted Mansion ...

Advantages: Eddie Murphy is the only advantage Disadvantages: Unsuitable for children under 15
...year old son to see The Haunted Mansion the rating is PG and the review states Family comedy based on Disney, Safe bet for children of any age or so I thought, 5 minutes into the film you are scared stiff with zombies grabbing at children ghosts screaming through a house ghosts appearing right behind people very very frightening. There was only one part of the whole film which i would say was a bit funny and that was 4 stone heads singing together, ...
