I was looking forward to this movie, this was one of the iconic books from my childhood. I have to say that I very much enjoyed it, however maybe not as much as the first film. The filming was excellent, with beautiful backdrops and surroundings, very good CGI and good acting. It's been so long since I read the books however, that I can't remember if this was faithful to the original though... will have to re-read them I think! The things that let it down for me were the comedy elements, the mouse-knights and alike fitted very much with a Disney film, however I thought that they were not necessary, and detracted from the story. Word of warning though, not sure if I would let very small children see it though as there is quite a lot of violent ... Read More:

This has always been my favourite Disney film, and I am so glad it's been given the loving restoration it deserves.

The fantastic detail and 1950s graphic take of gothic and medieval styles is positively breathtaking. For Walt Disney it was ground breaking (and almost bankrupting) to create something so meticulously detailed and stylistically consistent right down to the backgrounds, and the result is beautiful and atmospheric. The extras are all interesting, detailing the conceptual side of things, and added a whole new perspective on what was always my favourite childhood film (even though I was terrified of Maleficent and convinced she was under my bed).

Amazing as the new computer technology is, it just doesn't for me ... Read More:

I appreciate a movie studio who can give the audience a knowing wink while poking copious amounts of fun at itself. Disney delivers!

The movie is both a parody of and a loving tribute to Disney movies. There's not a single dramatic convention or stereotype that doesn't get lampooned, yet the story has a lot of heart and you root for the characters. The songs are as fun as ever - kids will enjoy it as a basic fairytale, adults will laugh and smile as they recognise the clever jokes and references. Disney manage to bring an animated movie to the real world, as absurd as that is, but instead of falling flat on its face it shows us precisely why we have cartoons and the mirror they hold up for us - with a wink and a nudge!

What a refreshing change from the last few cheesy, old-fashioned, out-dated, badly scripted bonds. Hurrah for Daniel Craig, Jason bourne has nothing on you

Every new series of Doctor Who brings a new gripping story line, new characters, and another goodbye... and series four is no different.

The series starts of with the Doctor and Donna trying to crack the mystery around Adipose Industries but never quite meeting, always just missing each other, but finally they meet, and after narrowly escaping Miss Foster they decide to take her down.

The series just gets better from then on, with some old enemes, such as the sontarans, the ood, and daleks, and new enemies like Vespiforms, Vasta Nerada, and the Pyroviles. Not only does he meet and greet old enemies he reunites with old companions and meets a few new ones on the way.

Series Four will see the return of the Doctor (David Tennant), ... Read More:

I love the Discworld books and have read all of them with great enjoyment, but the two films, Hogfather and now The Colour Of Magic leave me just a little disappointed. There are far better Discworld stories than these two, which could have been turned into films, anything featuring the Night Watch and Sam Vines, as an example, but perhaps that's just because in those books lie some of my favourite characters, and Rincewind isn't. David Jason, although a great actor, tries just a little too hard in this film, and his overexaggerated speech and mannerisms tended to grate on me at times. It's hard to put into words just exactly what's wrong, it just felt a little flat, and as with Hogfather, to me it's another wasted opportunity to make a really good Discword film. The ...

I enjoyed this film a lot.
The story is relatively simple. A schoolgirl gets pregnant and decides to put the baby up for adoption.
She happens to be a wisecracking smartass, perhaps enough to be really annoying. In fact she seems such a know it all you wonder how she got herself into this trouble at all! However the film makes it clear however that Juno, depsite trying to be uber mature, is still just a girl.

Have no doubt, this is a "feelgood" film.
Nearly all the characters are basically decent people and the plot is tied up perhaps too neatly. The development of Juno's relationship with her step mother would nearly bring a tear to your eye alone.
The different storylines in the film are combined well together by the director, such ... Read More:

i was so happy to see this film. It was a poignant and breathtaking tale of a mythical creature - the water horse ' Caruso' and his secret friendship with Angus, the boy who discovered Caruso and brought him up from an egg. This lovely tale is set during the second world war and is even more emotional because of the sideline events which are also happening. A guaranteed heart churner, this is a lovely film for everyone.
