The Snowman [1982]

starring: David Bowie, Peter Auty
directed by: Dianne Jackson

Release Date November 03, 2008
Like the title of this review says, this film is a true classic. It tells the story of a young boy who builds a snowman that comes to life at midnight. This film is the only film I have ever seen that is funny, magical and sad at the same time. It is also the first one that I have seen that had no dialogue in, but watching it now, I think that the filmmakers were right not to put any in. Having said that, I am SO GLAD that the enchanting song "Walking in the air" is in it. I am also glad that it is hand-drawn, not computer animated. I know that, if you look at the film very closely, there are small errors, but, because they don't have any effect on the story, they really don't matter.
If this film is not part of your collection of videos or DVDs, ... Read More:

Extras: The Complete Series 1 & 2 [2005]

starring: Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Ashley Jensen, Shaun Williamson, David Bowie

Release Date March 26, 2007
This is Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant at their absolute best. And I don't just mean in terms of acting, but its the direction of this series that I find brilliant. These guys get stars like Robert De Niro, Chris Martin, Patrick Stewart and Kate Winslet and add a totally new dimension to their persona. They add a kind of 'Gervais' attribute to each of the stars in the episodes and it just makes for a brilliant comedy series.

Highly recommended.

Extras - The Collection

starring: Ricky Gervais, Robert De Niro, Orlando Bloom, Chris Martin, David Bowie
directed by: Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant

Release Date November 03, 2008
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's follow-up to The Office was burdened with the weight of how to succeed one of the most popular sitcoms in recent years. Arguably, they have made an even better series.

The Extras follows the fortunes of two struggling bit-part actors and their life on the fringes of stardom: talking to Patrick Stewart as he describes his secret project, in which all the female participants' clothes fall off ("So it's a comedy?" "No."), or Sir Ian Mckellen revealing the secret of his success - that all his lines are written in advance..

Life on the periphery of celebrity makes the majority of the narrative in the first series. Season Two gives us a chance to sample some hard won success, when Gervais' character ... Read More:

The Prestige [2006]

starring: Christian Bale, Piper Perabo, Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine
directed by: Christopher Nolan

Release Date March 12, 2007
I was totally spellbound by the illusionist, brought out around about the same time as this film, so it was with slight anticipation that I watched this, expecting that it wouldn't match up to the other in the slightest. What a surprise, I was right. While I found the first film brilliant and cleverly crafted with a brilliant storyline this was just a poor, weak plotted version of something vaguely resembling a good magician's film. The ending was absurd and I was actually throwing cushions at the screen because it was such a messy plot!!Don't bother with this, watch the illusionist and see a genuinely good plot instead of a positively awful one.

Extras : Complete BBC Series 2 [2005]

starring: Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, David Bowie, Robert De Nero

Release Date March 26, 2007
The office was good, this isn't. Of course, with Stephen Merchant on writing duty, there are some funny moments (such as Keith Chegwin's homophobic rant), but there are many excruciating moments that I just couldn't watch. Character ineptitude, presented so exquisitely in the Office, has lost it's subtlety here. 2 stars because, for me, it's not worth wading through the pain and boredom for the few amusing moments. With so many other great comedies out there, this isn't worth iit.

This is a truly wonderful childrens film. Jim Hensen outdoes himself. This is so enjoyable. As a child I loved it as have my children since.

Arthur and the Invisibles [2007]

starring: Robert De Niro, Madonna, Snoop Dogg, David Bowie, Freddie Highmore

Release Date June 25, 2007
This is an awful, awful film. The plot is pathetic and makes no sense. In fact it annoyed me whilst watching it because it was so bad. Even my 7 year old got bored and started asking questions about why he was doing this and that. (Arthur that is).

The only good thing about this film is The child actor who plays Arthur who is brilliant and stars in the Spiderwick Chronicles, which is a fantastic film and shouldn't be mentioned in the same breathe as this drivel.

I was tempted to ask for my money back at the end. Don't buy this film don't even watch it when it comes on TV. I'd rather watch ten back to back episodes of The One Show than watch this again, and that's saying something. You've been warned.
