Bridget Jones's Diary [2001]

starring: Renee Zellweger, Honor Blackman, Embeth Davidtz, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant
directed by: Sharon Maguire

December 20, 2004
The story of Bridget Jones first began as a diary collumn in a newspaper, rose to success in book form (then it's sequel) and then finally hit the movies in 2001 with Briget played quite perfectly by the lovely Renee Zellwegger.

This modern take on Pride and Predjudice follows the female protagonist Briget Jones who decides to keep a diary of her life; unlike the Mary-Jane all too perfect characters in most stories and movies of today, Bridget is quite literally EVERY woman you've ever known.

Bridget is a 30-something urban singleton on the look for love - perhaps in the wrong places. She's an ever so slightly overweight (Zellwegger put on weight specifically for the movie) office worker who reads self-help books religiously, ... Read More:

Hot Fuzz [2007]

starring: Anne Reid, Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman, Edward Woodward, Paddy Considine
directed by: Edgar Wright

December 17, 2007
I'll be honest here: I thought Shaun of the Dead was OKAY. Not amazing, definitely worth 4 stars, but not as stratospherically brilliant as everyone made it out to be (in my opinion!).
With Hot Fuzz, however, the tables turned. I came to this film with average expectations, expecting a decent-ish cop comedy. What I got blew me away.
The film felt bigger, smarter, faster...and funnier. Watching it first time around was good enough, and full of laughs (It's hard to say what kind of comedy style it is. Most would say black comedy, but there's a bit of everything here, especially tongue-in-cheek).

But I think the real beauty of Hot Fuzz is the subtlety and sheer number of references it makes. Whether it's spotting a character making ... Read More:

Bridget Jones 2: The Edge of Reason [2004]

starring: Renée Zellweger, Gemma Jones, Jim Broadbent, James Faulkner, Celia Imrie
directed by: Beeban Kidron

July 03, 2006
Unfortunately, this is miles away from being as good as the books or the first film. They changed the plot so they could shoe-horn Hugh Grant into the film (and a not very good fight scene with Colin Firth as well). But so much worse is the sense that Bridget has been made into a figure of fun, rather than someone who was funny because we related to her. Not funny, not romantic, even Colin Firth is less lovely in this film.

Percy The Park Keeper - The Classic Collection

starring: Percy, Jim Broadbent

January 12, 2004
Just delightful, the music, the animation is sweet and delightful the stories kind and gentle all from an apparent time when road rage never existed and the world biggest worry was homemade lemonade. Jolly happy Percy never frustrated always patient whatever troubles and worries the fox, the badger, the mice and the rabbits bring upon him. The DVD and the books are equally delightful they will be enjoyed for many years by boys and girls and, for sure parents.

Moulin Rouge [2001]

starring: Nicole Kidman, Ewan McGregor, John Leguizamo, Jim Broadbent, Richard Roxburgh
directed by: Baz Luhrmann

October 13, 2003
I have to that i am not a big fan of musicals. I'm not too fond of high school musical so i didnt think this film would be my type...

But i was so wrong. It was absolutely amazing. The acting is top class by nicole and ewan and makes you feel what they are feeling. The jazzed up songs really work and just bring the whole film together. It can make you laugh and cry (literally).

My favourite part is probably the ending because it is such a beautiful representation of love and actually made me cry because of the twist in the ending. The end song "come what may" was absolutely breathtakingly sung by nicole and ewan and you feel the love they share. It gave me goosebumps but i really enjoyed it. I watch it again and again.

A REAL STUNNER.

The Chronicles Of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe [Blu-ray] [2005]

starring: Tilda Swinton, Georgie Henley, William Moseley, Sophie Winkleman, Liam Neeson
directed by: Andrew Adamson

June 16, 2008
Great film, enjoyed it despite initial misgivings about watching a 'kids film'. Not going to review it in depth since so many others already have on the DVD section.

The picture on the bluray disc is excellent throughout, which does mean that some of the more dodgy special effects are shown up - though fortunately not too often. For the most part the graphics are very good, Aslan in particular is impressive.

The sound offers 5.1 and uncompressed. I could not get the uncompressed sound to work initially, but all was ok after a play around, and the uncompressed sound is very good. Footsteps in snow never seemed so loud! The 5.1 sound is also good, but does lack the detail of the lossless format.

One issue was that if I stopped playback on the ps3 (and went ... Read More:

If you have issues with your dad then this film may make you want to do something about it! I would not call the film a real weepy but it should make you shed tear if you are half human!! A good watch recommended
