(this is a review I wrote back in April 2005 and only found again recently)

I saw this film yesterday after buying the DVD, and boy was I impressed!
The story, the music, the colours, this whole film was simply spectacular and so beautiful! The lessons it teaches, and not just learning to accept other people different from yourself, but I felt particularly moved by Pocahontus's love of nature, and her closeness to the land in which she lives.

Alice In Wonderland isn't your average Disney film. It starts off with the posh girl singing with the plants in some park and then daydreams and is sucked into a loopy world where she goes through hundreds of doors and meets loads of odd characters ranging from the loveable white rabbit, the annoying mad hatter and the funny Queen of Hearts.

It's not a disney film that I'd recommend for those just getting into disney as it lacks the innocence and you really have to watch it to understand it whereas the true classics ... Read More:

Meet The Robinsons [2007]
Best Selling > DVD > Ages 9-11
directed by: Stephen Anderson

"Meet the Robinsons", directed by Stephen Anderson, is an excellent film for kids, and also for the kind of adults that love good animated movies. I am one of them :)

The main character is Lewis, a 12-year old orphan that is a science whiz. Lewis' biggest dream is to have a family of his own, but he hasn't been able to get adopted. When, after a particularly stinging rejection from a prospective family due to an experiment gone wrong, Lewis fails miserably at a science fair, his confidence is crushed and he ready to give up ...

Nothing polarises people like Star Wars. For many of us, it was a fundamental part of growing up. We watched the films, we fell in love with the universe of Star Wars, we bought the toys. Star Wars is, in many ways, part of our childhood. And being so universally loved makes it difficult to take a step back and review it objectively. Star Wars is either something you love, or don't care about, and there's little middle ground.

So how does one review something that means so much to you dispassionately? With difficulty. Difficult ... Read More:

This review is based on watching the "original theatrical version" (1977) which is on the Bonus Disc in this 2 Disc DVD.

There is stellar charm from C3PO, R2D2, Princess Leia, Skywalker, and Hans Solo. The pace of the film is also very good. The audience follows the story much through the eyes of narrators C3PO and R2D2. That, ladies and gentleman, is why this film is pretty innovative.

Star Wars doesn't really become truly galactic until Empire Strikes Back.

I loved this film almost as much as my children.

The 1970's saw a lot of variety shows on TV, but none were as unique as The Muppet Show. Here, you had large puppets doing the dances, singing the songs, telling the jokes, and performing the skits. And they do it well.

It's hard to describe the typical episode because they have some variety. Each episode features a special guest star (more on that later) who is involved in a few of the scenes. There are usually a variety of skits and at least one or two song and dance numbers. And there's the behind the scenes drama. We are always treated to ... Read More:

'The Empire Strikes Back', the second of the "old" Star Wars releases, is likely to be the darker of the collection, yet at the same time, the most accomplished in terms events. Their are many well shot scenes that are so cleverly edited, and the early fight scene on the snow planet between the rebels and the empire is superbly shot.

It's only my opinion though, but I've always felt the ending shot of this film is incredibly weak. Not longer after Darth Vader has confessed his relationship with Luke, we're still in alot of tension and the atmosphere is ... Read More:
