National Treasure 2 - Book Of Secrets [2007]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Childrens DVD
starring: Nicolas Cage, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren, Harvey Keitel
directed by: Jon Turteltaub

I like this sort of adventure film. There are far too few made, if you ask me. I guess most film makers think they will inevitably be compared to Indiana Jones, which is a shame.

So how does this compare to Indiana Jones? Not as good, a bit far-fetched, though I cant say why without giving bits of the plot away, but nonetheless a very entertaining romp.

Its the kind of film that eats your time away. There aren't any real dull moments, and its a shame when it has to finish.

I won't give it five stars, because it could be better, but it definately deserves 4.

The credits are still rolling but I had to get this review in!

After watching the painful BBC version this is brilliant by comparison. Please don't buy the BBC one, get this instead. I can't fault it! It is just like the image of narnia in my head. Very believeable, great characters, great battle scenes. I cringed all the way through the BBC version but this was a delight to watch.

Can't wait for Prince Caspian now!

Great special effects, but not a very good story, looks like it was trying to prop up the poor storyline with the special effets and the actors.
In all a disappointing movie.

Ratatouille [2007]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Childrens DVD
directed by: Brad Bird, Jan Pinkava

February 11, 2008
This must be one of the best animated films ever made. The animation is amazing. The story. A rat who wants to be more, and sets out to achieve this through a twist in circumstances, is crazy, but then anything is possible in animation.
The plot draws you in, involves you and holds your attention for the entire length of the film. Brilliant. If you haven't watched this yet, don't hesitate. Recommended for young and not so young alike.
The extras are good too with an animated story on rats through history!

How dare he steal my name then to add insult to injury stick an extra 'n' on the end. I'm not the sort to go round telling tales but I saw Mr Benn doing some rather disturbing things with a sun flower.

I was a huge fan of The Cipmunks as a child and I was worried that the film would be a real dissapointment. I was so wrong! This film is fantastic the chipmunks are so cute and funny. Jason Lee is perfect as Dave Seville and all of the classic songs are there. This is a funny, heartwarming and cool film, enjoy!
