What a great movie. It was so entertaining and I loved the behind the scenes as it were of Scottish life in the long ago. Merinda was my kind of girl. I think you will enjoy it.

I found this movie very dark and not at all enjoyable. Unfortunately I couldn't help comparing it to Arnie's one and it didn't even rate as far as I'm concerned. Don't bother.

I love all the xmen movies but this one which shows how it all started was for me one of the best. I highly recommend it with a brilliant performance by Kevin Bacon as the mastermind Shaw.

I was a little disappointed with this, after the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It was enjoyable but not as entertaining as I thought it would be. You will have to give it a go and see what you think for yourself.

A beautiful movie and one which I thoroughly enjoyed. I know the storyline has been done before by some big stars but I thought Bette Midler and Billy Crystal brought their own very special star appeal to this movie. You will not be disappointed with this one. Loved the kids in this, they did a great job. I laughed till I had tears running down my face.

Unfortunately this sequel was not as good as the first three, still very entertaining but it seems they ran out of good ideas. The children will love it but it didn't grab me like the others. I think you will have to give it a try and see what you think yourself.

I was very disappointed in this. I lost track of what was going on and with Matt Damon not in the movie it was very hard to understand the plot and how everything fit together.

This was a wonderful movie, suspenseful, scary in places with very good acting and a lovely twist at the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it very different to the usual run of the mill horror stories.

I turned this off after the first half and hour. I did expect a better of this movie with Brian Brown being the main actor, but I couldn't get past the foul language and gave up when it didn't seems as though it was going to improve.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristina
An interesting movie. It was very slow to start with and had some sub plots which all became clear at the end, but if you missed the explanation in the movie then you could become confused. The ending made the film for me but it is not one I would watch again.

I don't usually like western movies but this was one with a difference. It has an excellent story line and the acting was superb.

Excellent end to the Twilight saga. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and anyone who is a fan will not be disappointed.

OMG what a brilliant scary movie. I loved it. I don't know how many times I nearly jumped out of my seat and what a twist at the end. Please don't watch it if you have anything wrong with your health. The acting was superb and the story line brilliant.

I was disappointed with this one. I waited a long time for it to come but I felt let down by the story line.

This was a strange movie with lots of hidden agendas by the main characters. Definitely not sci fi but it kept you guessing up till the end. Has he made a time machine or not.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
A lovely, funny movie set in the not too distant future where robots are available as house servants to look after people with dementia. I loved it although it was not what you would call sparkling entertainment it was a good watch.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
What a wonderful feel good movie. I was a bit worried when I saw it was all in French but the subtitles were very easy to read and certainly didn't detract from the story. I would highly recommend this film, it is just beautiful.

An interesting and thoughtful movie, very well acted and it kept me guessing. The only problem I had was the ending, I either missed something along the way or it was one of those endings that make very little sense.

What an excellent movie. I love Richard Gere in anything and he played a wonderful role. There was enough action to make it entertaining but not too much blood and gore and it had a very good twist at the end. Highly recommended
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
A very different movie, very enjoyable yet twisted. Not the usual goody baddy type and a twist at the end which makes you rewind to make sure you haven't mistaken what you have just seen. Highly recommended.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
A beautiful, heart warming movie. I would recommend this for all the family. I loved the way the movie unfolded and even though it was fairly predictable it kept me entranced right the way through.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
This was not a success as Disc 1 which I ordered is not available and I was sent disc 2 which made it very hard to understand the concept behind the movie. Maybe if number 1 was watched first it would have been more enjoyable. Not fussed on this at all.

I loved this movie and would recommend it to all ages. Belushi is at his best in this and the girl with the doberman lends a straight guy to his humour. Very enjoyable.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
If you are a fan of the Resident Evil movies then don't bother with this one. Boring storyline, very confusing all the way through. The fight scenes were much too long with the good guys being able to withstand hails of bullets and being blown to smithereens, coming out the other side unharmed. It was very b grade with a weak ending.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristina
I wasn't sure about this one but I enjoyed it very much. I have never been a fan of Jolie but she was ok in this one but Johnny Depp played the part of the tourist to perfection. It was action packed but comic in places because of the wonderful acting of Depp, and it had a lovely little twisty surprise at the end. Altogether very good viewing
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
Dont bother with this one. It was a pathetic B grade movie with very few thrills, endless dialogue that meant very little. Just boring
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
I found this an interesting interpretation of the ancient Indian/Mayan culture but it was a very blood thirsty and gory movie and I had to close my eyes and turn away in many of the scenes where the violence was just too much. I would only recommend this to someone who has a very strong stomach and would never suggest any younger person should watch it.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristina
A really stupid movie, don't even bother. It was a complete waste of time as far as I am concerned.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristina
I laughed a few times in this but on the whole I wouldn't bother watching it. It is not in the same league as The Castle and even though I did enjoy watching Barry Humphreys bounce off the newbie cop I couldn't make it to the end of the movie. Disappointing
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
This is the female version of Beauty and the Beast. A very sweet, funny movie which I would recommend to the whole family.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Very sweet movie and one for all the family. A bit of Cinderella with a dash of H2o. Any one could watch this and feel good. Lovely
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Loved this movie. Bruce Willis does his usual job of fine acting and Samuel L Jackson as the man of glass is very weird and scary.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
I loved it. Funny, sweet romantic and a little bit naughty in a nice way. Highly recommended. All ages would love this one.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
This was heart wrenching, funny and very disturbing considering it was a true story. I wonder what the governments of today are hiding from us just as the plight of these children from England was hidden right up till the 1970's. I guess time will tell. A wonderful Australian cast and brilliantly acted. Highly recommended.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
This was one of the stupidest movies I have seen for a long time. I was pretty generous giving it two stars. Not worth watching.
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
What a beautiful, poignant movie. I saw some differing reviews, some loved it some hated it but with a cast of brilliant actors I thought I should give it a go and I will never regret that I did. I loved it and watched it twice and will probably go out and buy myself a copy to keep. Highly recommended, a wonderful movie for all the family.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Fantastic movie bringing all the avengers together to fight the evil Loki. I would advise you watch Captain America first before watching this one as you might be a bit at sea by the references to the Captain's past. I highly recommend this film.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
What a lovely movie and one the whole family could enjoy. I would thoroughly recommend it to all young girls especially as it has a good moral story behind the rest of the plot.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Two people go to a supposedly deserted island and are attacked by a ghost. Scary but not too horrific. It was a bit long winded but ok I guess.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
I wasn't sure how I would go with this movie as the beginning is a bit traumatic but I watched it with the grand-kids and they thought it was wonderful and wanted to watch it again so I think that is a excellent recommendation. Not terribly well acted but a lovely movie, well worth watching.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
Loved this movie. Julia Roberts plays a wonderful role as the evil queen and Snow White is just gorgeous. I loved the new concepts thrown in with the dwarfs and the Prince who was a bit wimpy. All the family could watch this with no problems.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Dont bother with this one. I am a fan of sci fi but this was pathetic. The aliens were not very believable, the acting was poor and I was very disappointed with it.
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
Unusual movie. It took me a long time to figure out what was going on. Maybe I am a bit thick. Anyway I think if you are into horror you would like this.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
Just loved this movie. Young ones could watch it. A very good family movie.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Loved all the men in black series but I didnt think this one was quite as good as the others but very worth while watching.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
This was a movie that I really enjoyed. It had dark concepts in it and is definitely not for the younger viewers. Well worth a watch.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
A birds eye view of the royal family showing them as just ordinary people when it came to emotions and problems, magnified by the stress of the position. Geoffrey Rush was exceptional in this.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
I didnt like this one very much. I found it hard to follow and I didnt think the plot was very good.
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
Gorgeous, sweet and very watchable. Love Matt Damon in anything and he did himself proud with this one. I would recommend it to all the family.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
I liked this movie very much. It had a lot of twists and turns with some very unexpected happenings. Very enjoyable.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
Very good sequel. A bit overpowering with the special effects. Good, sitting on the edge of your seat, drama.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
Fairly predictable but ok if there is nothing else to watch.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristina
I just loved this movie and watch it twice with different sets of grandkids. It is a heartwarming story with a real message behind it which they all got regardless of age. Highly recommended
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Nicholas Cage is always very entertaining but this film didn't thrill me I'm afraid. Special effects not too special and now it looks like there is another one to come.

Gets better each time I see it.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
A gripping story with a good twist at the end. Its been done before but I did enjoy Bruce Willis in this.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
What a wonderful movie. I would highly recommend it to ones of any age. I love Selena Gomez and she certainly shined in this one. It was most enjoyable from beginning to end and nothing in it that a very young person couldn't watch. Put it on your list, I think you will love it.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Loved this movie. Much along the lines of Avatar and Star Wars but with its own special twists and deviations. I would recommend this to all viewers
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
What utter rubbish. It is so slow and uninteresting and the dialogue is pathetic. I would not recommend this film in any way. There was no redeeming feature to it at all.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristina
Not too fussed on this one. Shrek was much better and the adult references I thought were not suitable for little children. Disappointing.
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
Just get better and better
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
This was a film which was a little long winded but very gripping just the same. The ending is quite gory and it left me hanging with a few questions unanswered but I would recommend it
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
W.hat a wonderful movie. I just love Russell Brand and he played the part of Arthur brilliantly. Helen Mirren as Hudson was just perfect. I loved every minute of this movie and would highly recommend it to the whole family
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny and kept you on the edge of your seat with the special effects. A good one for the whole family.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
I wasnt very thrilled with this one. There was nothing new in it, just a rehash of the older ones.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristina
Hmmm all I can say is this was an interesting film. It is done in a documentary story form and does keep you intrigued. If you can get to the end of the movie dont turn off when the credits start to roll because you get some still shots which give you a twist at the end to think on.
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
They just get better and better. What a cliff hanger of an end to this series. Cant wait for the next disc to see what happens.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
Scary stuff but I liked it very much. Of course it was a very supernatural theme but if you like a bit of hocus pocus you will be glued to your seats with this one.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
I enjoyed this movie very much. Once you understood what was going on it was riveting, tender, scary and very very good. Certainly a twist at the end. I would highly recommend this to all.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Not too bad a movie. The plot when it got going was quite good and believable.
Wouldn't watch it again but ok for a look
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
I just loved this movie. It was very funny, and absolutely delightful. Kids from 3 to 99 could watch it and be entertained. Five stars for this
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
I must have missed the blurb which told me this was an animated kids movie. The grandkids watched it but I wasnt very thrilled.
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
Very enjoyable and with the grown up spy kids making their appearence it brought the old and the new movies together. Loved it
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
An oldie but a goody. Very watchable
(Worth watching) - review by Kristina
What a fantastic movie. I normally find Jim Carey too silly to enjoy but this was the best of his starring roles. The penguins were hilarious and the plot filled with fun, pathos and a lovely ending. Highly recommended for all ages.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
What spectacular scenery. Very believable plot who knows what lives in the undiscovered wilds of Tassie and what would the scientific world do if an animal thought to be extinct was found. Thought provoking.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
This was a very sweet movie but it didnt really grab me. I think it was just too slow and didnt push the right buttons. It was ok but not one I would watch again.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristina
Fantastic to see the episodes that we missed. It gets more enjoyable with each new character that arrives.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
What a wonderful movie. I would highly recommend this for the more adult members of the family as I think some of the scenes might be a bit worrying for the younger ones but it is funny, exciting, gritty in places and a lovely ending.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Interesting movie. A spy assassin movie with a twist. It was watchable but didnt grab me the way the Bourne Identity did.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
I think this is the best one yet. I was sitting on the edge of my seat all the way through
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
I think this one is the best so far. I thoroughly enjoyed it with suspense right down to the end.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Hated this one. It was slow and not very well acted.
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
Well I dont know what to say about this one. Very strange but in a cutsie way. I had to watch it twice before I could understand it. Maybe ok for kids but mine didnt like it very much.
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
Not too sure about this one. It was funny in places but more in a slapstick way. I cant say I was very fussed on it and wouldnt watch it again but it is ok if you like this sort of comedy.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristina
I didnt think Pirates could get any better but this series just keeps improving. I think this one is the best so far. Highly recommended
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Rowen Atkins at his bumbling best. Hilarious in places a bit weak in others but all in all a great movie
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
A fantastic and very different movie. The special effects are well done and the cast of young actors really pull it off. Maybe not for the smaller kids but teenagers and up I think will find it very entertaining.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
A fantastic movie. It was funny, sweet, dramatic and kept you on the edge of your seat in places. I dont know if i really like the computer generated animation but it is something that is going to stay with us I guess. Five stars for this one.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Not too sure about this one. They have taken the story of Moby Dick the white whale and captain Ahab and substituted dragons in its place. It was enjoyable and easy to sit through but only three stars for this one
(Worth watching) - review by Kristina
This is an oldie but a goodie. It is a bit slow at the start but once the action starts you are sitting on the edge of your seat. Very good movie.

I missed the beginning of the Vampire Diaries on tv so it was good to see the first episodes. I enjoyed it very much.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Wow this was an unusual movie and very enjoyable. Eric Bana and Kate Winslett were wonderful and the young girl who played Hanna did a great job.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
I think this just gets better and better. I am always sorry to see the disc end and cant wait for the next one to arrive.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
I wouldnt bother with this one. Strange story line, not very good acting and strange ending. All in all very boring.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristina
What utter garbage this thing was. I think they tried to combine all the horror movies set in the woods in a cabin with strange inbred people doing the dirty work. This wasnt even worthy of a star. Dont bother unless you want to be very bored. I didnt make it through the first half hour.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristina
This is a very dark sinister movie. The lead dancer in the ballet is a very troubled young woman and many of the things we see through the movie turn out to be all in her head. The ending is very strange but all in all a very enjoyable movie for the adults. Highly recommended.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Wonderful epic movie, lots of action and the heros were rather good looking.
Thor was a family movie which I would recommend to parents with older children. It might be a little scary for the young ones. Very enjoyable
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
this was a movie I would recommend to anyone. It was very funny, and one the whole family could watch.

Fantastic movie along the lines of beauty and the beast. The makeup was very good and I can recommend it for the whole family.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Excellent movie with a very good twist at the end. I enjoyed this very much. A good thriller, it kept me interested right till the very end.

Very unusual movie. It had a lot of action and some gory scenes but on the whole not too bad. I thought it was quite entertaining.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
I am sure this wil be a movie that the whole family could watch. It was sweet, funny and very entertaining. The combination of the two lead actors worked so well and I found it very enjoyable.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
This was not my idea of a family movie. There was a lot of very coarse language. Maybe one for the older teens but not for younger ones.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristina
Well this was not just a b grade movie it was an awful b grade movie. I found it boring, boring, boring. I didn't last the whole movie as it was too painful to watch so called actors who didn't have any talent at all try to go through the paces of what could have been an interesting movie. No stars for this one.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristina
What a lovely movie. Sure it has been done before but Johnson brings a little extra something to the role and the rest of the cast are delightful especially Tracy, where did they find this man he is soo right for the part. An excellent movie for the whole family to watch
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Well this was very different to all the other vampire movies I have seen. Very good special effects and a real twist at the end. Very enjoyable although a few gory scenes in it.
(Excellent) - review by Kristina
Not a bad movie as Merlin movies go. A little slow and quiet different to all the other Camelot movies but I cant say I was sitting on the edge of my seat.
(Maybe) - review by Kristina
This film moved at a very slow pace. Not too much scare factor in it and the main character Jonny was a man full of smoldering looks and not very good acting. The best scene in the movie was Mabel in the kitchen, that was a bit gruesome. Wouldnt recommend it as a horror movie.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristina
I loved this movie. A very strange twist on the old fairy tale but very entertaining.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Another predator vs Alien type movie. Ok special effects but nothing very special about the whole movie. Only three stars for this one

Fantastic. There has to be a sequel or I will be very disappointed. Great movie for all the family
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Wow not at all what I thought it would be like. Very interesting and well acted with lots of suspense.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
Now this was scary stuff with a typical Stephen King twist at the end. I enjoyed it very much
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristina
A good movie but very slow. It was hard to keep the interest going right to the end but if you like Matt Damon it is worth watching just for the acting.
