Advantages: An engrossing little story Disadvantages: None
Jack London's The call of the Wild, first published in 1903, is the story of Buck, a courageous dog fighting for survival in the Alaskan wilderness. It is widely considered to be his masterpiece.
The book vividly describes the harsh realities of life, for men as well as dogs, in the gold rush of the Far North.
**WARNING** The following section details the plot (That's why it's subtitled THE PLOT, funnily enough). So, if you like, skip to the next section.
THE PLOT
The story is set during the Klondike gold rush of 1897. Large and strong dogs are in big demand to pull the sleds between Skagway and Dawson, a long and dangerous trip through savage and treacherous terrain in bitterly cold weather. Buck, a 140-pound cross between a St. Bernard and a Scottish sheep dog, unfortunately fits the bill perfectly. At the start ...
Advantages: A generally nice animated film Disadvantages: Lacks orignality, and it's no Monsters Inc!
We were meant to be going to a party last night, but unfortunately it was cancelled. Hubby and I went onto plan B - DVDs, pizza and a bottle of vodka and diet coke! We went to Blockbusters and bought DVDs from the 3 for £20 range of ex-rentals (therefore costing £6.66 per DVD). We bought 3 each, and one of my 3 was "The Wild" - Disney's 46th Animated Classic (according to the DVD box). In general hubby and I love animated films - I had heard some not so good comments about this film, but I was prepared to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Background
If you've seen the film "Madagascar", you will immediately notice similarities?..animals in Central Park Zoo in New York?escape to experience being in the wild. However, the story is a little bit different, and I certainly think it's worth seeing "The Wild" even if ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Wild (DVD)
Advantages: A glossy addition to the teen movie genre. Disadvantages: It's hardly original.
a grab bag of recent hits such as Rihanna's "Shut Up and Drive", Nelly Furtado's "Say it Right" and Adele's "Chasing Pavements" which fit the target audience and style of the movie. But the girly version of Christopher Otcasek's "Real Wild Child" is a crime against music.
"Wild Child" is a film that will find its greatest favour with its intended demographic of young teens. It's a fun stab at the teen movie genre with enough action and non-threatening totty to entertain all but the most jaded fourteen year-old girl. The performances are also lively enough to stop accompanying adults nodding off. It is by no means original, but I have seen far worse versions of similar stories and it may become something of a guilty pleasure on DVD. ...
