Kid's film time...

Time Bandits
Always surprised by this movie. It has lots of thing that should put kids off from watching it but everytime i put it on my step-kids watch it the whole way though.
One of the few kids films that doesn't treat them like idiots and shows them thing that they wouldn't have seen before.
5/5

Ultimate Avengers
Very disappointing and worst very dull.
The use of images from the Ultimates in the end credits just makes realise how good the Ultimates is and how rubbish this movie was.
2/5

High School Musical 3
As someone with a little girl running around the house I've seen all these movies a dozen times.
And if anything they just get creepy-er every time From the over done=up but personality dead 'teens' to the fact that there's no-one in the school who isn't white apart from two black characters (who obviously go-out with each other).
Creepy , creepy film but oddly my step-daughter loves it.
4/5(because of the joy my step-daughter gets out of it)

Flash Gordon
Now I'm counting this as a kids despite the fact many people would disagree.
Lovely film, Looks great and is fun.
5/5

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Just rubbish even Darth Maul can't save this dull crap.
Lucas always throws up the defence that kids like it well you know what I've never met one who can sit through more than 10 minutes of it.
0.5/5

Watched Midnight Movie on Zone Horror last night (30/10/09). It belongs to a relatively small sub-genre of films in which the production or screening of a slasher flick causes a celluloid killer to break through into the real world. Other examples include Popcorn, Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Cut and The Hills Run Red (the latter was released on Region 2 DVD last Monday, 26/10/09).

Unfortunately, after a strong and promising beginning, Midnight Movie settles for being a throughly routine slasher film, with unimaginative deaths and average direction - through the order in which the assorted characters are killed is admirably unpredictable.
It doesn't help the movie's cause that 'The Dark Beneath' (the-film-within-the-film) is a dull Texas Chainsaw Massacre knock off, the killer an uninspired Jason clone who loves his mother, and his murder weapon of choice - a corkscrew-shaped knife - is a silly and slightly-desperate gimmick.

Midnight Movie does become quite interesting in it's final fifteen minutes, with an unexpected twist in which the story becomes even more meta-physical, but even this is soured by a too-abrupt ending. (2.5/5)

The World Is Not Enough. 10/10.

Far From The Madding Crowd (1967), after the successes of Billy Liar (1963) and Darling (1965) for which Julie Christie won a Best Actress Oscar, John Schlesinger took on Thomas Hardy's 4th novel from 1874. Schlesigner gave this classic old novel a feel of the British new wave, and it flies in despite it's epic running time. It flies by, and it's filled with a brilliant cast as well, it is a beautiful, sumptuous film too. It's mostly about Bathsheba Everdine (Christie) a beautiful young woman who inherits a farm in the wide Wessex countryside. She has a relationship with 3 different men, including shepherd Gabriel Oak (Alan Bates) who is attracted by her beauty. Then there's rich gentlemen farmer William Boldwood (Peter Finch) who is also trying to woo her, and there's also Hussar Sgt. Francis Troy (Terence Stamp), a handsome swordsman who eventually marries Bathsheba, even if he was set to marry Fanny Robin (Prunella Ransome). Photographed in glourious widescreen by Nicolas Roeg, this is a beautiful and powerful film, with some great performances and some very memorable scenes. The countryside of Dorset and Wiltshire is beautiful. To think Schlesinger followed this up with Midnight Cowboy!! What a transition!! 4.5/5

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), for the 10th James Bond film, it came after a horrendous legal delay, (producer Harry Saltzman left, they couldn't use the plot from Ian Fleming's original book and lawsuits followed), it seemed like it would never be made, but producer Cubby Broccoli was determined to make this one the biggest and the best James Bond film, and ensure that it would be a success. He was right, the success of this film showed that Bond wasn't losing his touch into the 1970's. The film involves submarines seemingly disappearing, James Bond (Roger Moore) is sent to investigate, it takes him to Egypt, where he meets up with Russian agent, Major Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach), who is investigating the same case, it is decided to team them up to find out who is behind it. It takes them to shipping magnate Karl Stromberg (Curt Jurgens), who has sent out henchman Jaws (Richard Kiel) to get them. It is epic in scope, but it is an enjoyable film, helped by Lewis Gilbert's humourous direction and Ken Adam's jaw-dropping sets, (including the supertanker interior). It has some brilliant scenes, including the ski jump to open a Union Jack parachute. That's what you call "Keeping the British end up." No-one does it better than Bond!! 4/5

The Great Outdoors (1988), from John Hughes, still at this time famous for his films on teen growing pains, made a film closer in tone to the National Lampoon's Vacation films he wrote, although heavily watered down to be suitable for a family audience. It would also herald the tone of films to come from Hughes, with it's slapstick comedy. But, it is very funny, and it has some good genuine laughs. It has Chicago family man Chester "Chet" Ripley (John Candy), his wife Connie (Stephanie Faracy), and their two sons Buck (Chris Young) and Benny (Ian Giatti) going on a week-long holiday to the picturesque lake resort of Pechoggin, Wisconsin. They have high-hopes for their break away, and then Connie's sister Kate (Annette Benning) and her know-it-all accountant husband Roman Craig (Dan Aykroyd) and their two daughters turn up as a surprise, and Roman get's on Chet's nerves alot, and everything seems to go wrong, especially when animals turn up. It's a good timepiece of 1980's family fun, maybe a little sagging in parts, but Aykroyd and Candy make a good pairing, and it's entertaining while it lasts, but it was a warning of things to come from Hughes, like with Home Alone and all... 4/5

The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain (1995), a forgotten little British film set in Wales with a long title made a decade and a bit ago. It's an amusing little film, quite close in tone to the Ealing comedies made back in the 1950's, and that's what it feels like too, but it is entertaining and fun while it lasts, plus for once, it's leading man isn't annoying. :P Set in 1917, it has two cartographers the pompous Garrad (Ian McNeice) and his assistant Anson (Hugh Grant) who come to the small Welsh village of Ffynnon Garw to measure it's mountain. However, there's a problem, it's not a mountain, it's a hill. As it's a few feet short of being the required 1000 feet to be classified as a mountain. The villagers, led by local innkeeper Morgan the Goat (Colm Meaney) and the Reverend Robert Jones (Kenneth Griffith) come up with a plan to ensure that this hill gets classified as a mountain, making a big mound of earth on the top to do that, even if it means ensuring that the two cartographer's stay around a little longer. It's a very amusing fim with a gentle sense of humour, (similiar to what Waking Ned (1998) would later do.) It's got alot of colourful characters in this little village, as most comedies like this do. Maybe we need something like this again soon, this film deserves a look in. It may sound true, but it's fiction. How wily of it's makers... :P 3.5/5
