Paul's Reviews

Still holds up well. My children loved it, especially the Socrerer's apprentice.

I just love this movie, so quirky, great characters. Love the sound track by Yann Tiersen too.

Meh. Another Angelina-the-secret-spy-woman cliche. Moderately entertaining.

Very unusual and throught provoking movie, with an interesting plot and many enexpected twists. Eric Bana does a fabulous job in developing his character and connects very well with the audience, the supporting cast is also excellent. The ending builds on strong feelings of family, love, and loss...I felt so emotional that I had to reach for the tissues!!!

This movie seems to have everything going for it - great actors, great locations, big budget. But the main character /relationship development is severely lacking and the plot is shallow. Angelina does ok in her usual role of "the mysterious spy-woman", but Johnny, who is an excellent actor, just has nothing to work with in the script and comes across as unexciting, awkward and boring. This might be the script writers intention but it makes for a bad movie. The ending is predictable because it is so cliche.

This was a lovely, funny story. The characters are wonderful and the story keeps you interested. Excellent!

Great movie, visually spectacular, very enjoyable. The whole family loved it.

The kids wanted to watch this because the robots are so cute, but really the M rating is well deserved as the movie is quite scary at times and a bit depressing - I'd rather be playing my accordion....

Take the most exciting bits from every big disaster blockbuster movie and string them together. Then repeat them a few times. The result is an action ride which is very cliche and predictable. I'd rather be playing my Accordion!!

This documentary had a lot of interesting information, but the undertone was extremely negative, everything was "overdramatised" especially all the different ways Earth could be destroyed (each situation accompanied by shocking imagery of nuclear blasts, volcanic eruptions, and fires). My kids would be absolutely terrified watching - it would give them nighmares. Doomsday stuff, underlined by scary suspenseful music the whole time. Unfortunately I have noticed this is common in some American "science" documentaries, they seem to be designed to frighten people rather than inform.

Ahh, a nice little feelgood movie to watch on a rainy day. Lighthearted and fun, especially if you remember the 80's!

This movie was just amazing and had the whole family glued to the screen. Probably not suitable for very young children (under 5?) as some scenes are a bit scary. Unusual characters and unexpected situations keep you guessing about what will happen next. A a bit like a Japanese version of "Alice in Wonderland"...! Highly recommended for something different.

This movie is stunningly beatiful in it's visual imagery and this is in stark contrast with it's violent theme. Unique and interesting - I really enjoyed it.

Got this one so the kids could see how it all started!

Not as good as the cartoons, but since our kids can't get enough of Ben 10 in any shape or form they still enjoyed it anyway.

This move is an all time classic....and I'm sure there's a generous dash of "Number 5" in "Wall-E" - same eyes, same innocence, and just as heroic...! The whole family enjoyed watching this.

Well, the kids loved it....!

Our kids are in love with Wall-E, the most adorable robot ever. I also liked that the move had strong messages about taking care of the environment and not becoming a couch potato ;-)

An interesting movie, unusual in that almost the entire story takes place in one room, and moves quite slowly. However the dialogue of the characters (a group of university professors) is interesting and at times unexpected - enough to hold the attention of the audience until the twist at the end.
