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 ... Read More:

National Treasure 2 - Book Of Secrets [2007]

directed by: Jon Turteltaub

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is everything a big budget adventure sequel should be. A bigger story and better action help make Book of Secrets a surprising crowd pleaser.

Setting out to clear his ancestor's name, Ben Gates is back in treasure-hunting action to unequivocally prove that his family had nothing to do with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. With his usual cohorts Riley, Abigail and his father, Patrick Gates, the trio must race against the clock to stop a new enemy, Mitch ... Read More:

I just watched this the other day, for old times sake. It was brilliant - better than I remembered. Whoever said that you can outgrow disney couldn't have been more wrong. I laughed and laughed along with my friend, and even if we were laughing at new found jokes, it didn't matter. It's definately worth buying. But if you're older, watch it with a friend to make it more enjoyable.

Happy feet is about pengiuns, who sing to each other, to find true love... But then mumble comes along and he can't sing, so he gets happy by dancing his heart out (Which is soo cute!) Everyone else rejects mumble because he is soo different, and he eventually gets thrown out... Such behaviour is un-pengiun like! This film is great, and the soundtrack is fantastic, and message of film gets you all fuzy and warm inside... Should have a award for 'warmfuzzyness inside'

I loved this film almost as much as my children.
It is without doubt the best kids film ever made.
I loved Shrek and Small Soldiers , but and my kids say TOPY STORY is Number One.

This DVD was worth the purchase for the Learn the Alphabet extra feature alone. This held the attention of my 3 year old and has the added bonus of being interactive. Simple for kids to navigate using arrow and OK buttons on your remote control.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix [HD DVD] [2007]

Book 5 of the Potter series is rather gloomy. Harry is feeling alienated, nightmarish and insecure, and Voldemort is rising in power. However, what worked extremely well for the book, works a bit against the film. A film is a different means of communication from a book and to strive to follow the book too closely is to do an injustice to both.

In this case the gloom drips off the screen and almost takes over everything else. Aside from the end there is little suspense, the much needed comic relief is scarce and even ... Read More:

Shrek The Third (Shrek 3)

starring: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Seth Rogen

November 26, 2007
As Usual Hollywood hits on a formula then milks it dry. The original shrek remains funny whenever I watch it now, it was fresh and original and utilised Murphys and Myers skills well.
The sequel was ok, and had its moments. But it lacked the heart of the original. The third in this frachise is suprisingly unfunny and Murphys donkey is criminally underplayed. There are just too many 'stars' involved now, and as a result dilutes what made the original work so well.
Stop now, no more please

Upto now I have quietly enjoyed the first 3 movies although they were nothing special. In previous reviews I gave all of them 3/5 and to be honest up until the final 20 minutes I was about to award the same for 'the Goblet of Fire'. The finale' certainly makes this film and we see Lord Voldermort at his evil best. Actually, it is a darker more absorbing film than the others and carries on in a similar vien to 'The Prisoner of Askaban'. The downside to this film is that it does drag on for a bit but that doesnt really bother you until you watch it again. ... Read More:
