Review of Wall-E DVD by Phelthew

Advantages: Great story, CGI etc.
Disadvantages: Bit hypocrtical of Disney

Wall.E is a weird film for me to go and see in the cinema. When you reach a certain age going to see cartoons in the cinema should be a taboo, it's not anymore thanks to Pixar but it still should be. I went to the late showing which wasn't so bad. I wasn't surrounded by small chidren who just stare at me inanely rather than watch the film. Wall.E is made by the same people who brought you all the other great Disney CGI films like Toy Story, Monsters ...
...for all ages as what Dreamworks came up with but the really nice ones that all had a certain charm and were great for children. For me anyway I thought Pixar-Disney had started to go abit downhill. I mean Cars and The Incredibles although massive commercial successes weren't (to me at least) as great as A Bugs Life and the other older ones but they started to come back with Ratatouille and now they're back on form with Wall.E. Wall.E is a small ... Read review

A Modern Day Mary Poppins
Review of Nanny McPhee DVD by sewbizzie

Advantages: Good family film
Disadvantages: None

Nanny McPhee was one of my buys so I did not have to watch the football when it was on. I was quite impressed with the film. Emma Thompson plays the part of Nanny McPhee who magically turns up at the house of Mr Brown. Mr Brown has been recently widowed and he has been left looking after his 7, yes 7, children. The children's behaviour is awful and they have managed to scare off their 17 previous Nanny's. When Mr Brown goes to the agency to get another ...
...to his problems lies with Nanny McPhee. He has no idea how to find her and later sees an article in his newspaper advertising her services but when he opens the paper he sees the children have cut out the details. As if by magic Nanny McPhee arrives at the door and she soon starts work on the children. Her appearance is very strange, with a large bottom and warts on her face. She also walks with the aid of a stick. The stick as we soon learn is how ... Read review

Tales from studio Ghibli
Review of Tales From Earthsea DVD by chaobreeder16

Advantages: new studio ghibli movie nice music and animation
Disadvantages: a bit short and the plot is a little jumpy, new and different

The most recent studio ghibli movie released in the west, however this title is different from previous works as it was directed by hayao Miyazakis son goro miyazaki ( Hayao Miyazaki created spirited away and princess mononoke for studio ghibli to name some of the better known titles released in the UK). This dvd comes with both an English subtitle and dubbed track. The English dubbing is quite true to the original script but I prefer the subtitles. ...
