How to train your dragon

This delightful movie tells the tale of a young boy- Hiccup who is the son of his tribe’s leader. He is not the sort of boy one would expect to be the son of a great leader but he has other great characteristics- like his eventfulness.

As a rite of passage- Hiccup is expected to slay a dragon but this is simply not in his nature and instead becomes great friends with a dragon he caught and released. While at first this unlikely friendship is frowned upon by the villagers, they soon start to see things his way.

The story line is great, it's suitable for the whole family and is bound to be a classic- to be added to the DVD collection.

It's great for a Saturday afternoon and will have your laughing all the way through.

We highly recommend this one and give it a rating of 4 out of 5!

The Tooth Fairy

A delightful story about a superstar ice hockey player who is tactless and has no problem 'telling it like it is' no matter what the cost or whose feelings he hurts.

Dwayne Johnson, the Rock- plays Derek Thompson the heartless celebrity who because of his selfish ways is made to serve as a tooth fairy's assistant for a full week- this is so he learns his lesson after crushing the dreams of one of his young fans.

The story is hilarious and full of action and adventure. It is more suitable for a younger audience but we are sure you will enjoy it.

Expect plenty of outrageous moments and to laugh from start to finish.

We give this movie a rating of 3 out of 5.

Crazy Heart

Crazy Heart is an emotional story about a washed- up old country singer who is still trying to make a living even though he hasn't written a new song in years.

Jeff Bridges- who plays Bad Blake (and won the Oscar for his performance) has a shocking life style of drinking, smoking, late nights and really just hanging out with the wrong sort of people, then he meets someone who turns his life around.

A series of twists and turns take place that put Blake on the right path.

The movie is a bit long winded and may be something more suitable for Mom and Dad but the acting is good, the characters are sincere and a lot of lessons are taught along the way.

If you are looking for something a bit more serious than usual, then see this film.

We give this one a rating of 3 out of 5!

Shutter Island

A frightening horror set in the 1950’s. This film is set to knock your socks off and have you clinging to the person next to you.

Shutter Island is a remote island which has an asylum built on it, for the insane. The scene is set with a storm brewing in the background and now Marshal Teddy Daniels, played by Leonard DiCaprio must deal with the inmates/patients who are about to escape.

This film is the ultimate in nail biting, nerve fraying terror. It encapsulates all the emotion and ‘raw-ness’ you would expect from a Martin Scorsese film and DiCaprio’s performance is outstanding.

We rarely do this but we give this film a rating of 4 out of 5!

The book of Eli

The book of Eli, tells the story of a blind man who has made it his mission to protect the last copy of the Bible. Based in the future, Denzel Washington is this man, who takes on the responsibility of safe guarding the book.

This movie is packed with action, sound effects, twists and turns. It is high paced and quite frankly- very violent.

Denzel Washington gives a mediocre preformance but it is by no means an Oscar winning portrayal.To be onest, we thought it was a bit weak!

We give this one a rating of 2 out of 5!

Alice in Wonderland

This movie takes us along with Alice on her second trip down the rabbit hole.

Strangely she does not remember being there before but don’t worry all her old friends remember her. She is reunited with The Mad hatter, the Cheshire cat, the Red queen and many others.

This film is a visionary masterpiece and stars the likes of Jonny Depp.

You can expect to be utterly thrilled by the part 3D classic tale. It is likely to go down as one of Tim Burton’s best films.

The story line is fantastical and in some cases simply boggles the mind!

We absolutely loved it! Loved it!

We rate this film 5 out 5- our higher score ever!

The blind side

The blind side is a heart warming story about a women and a teenage boy she takes into her life.

Sandra Bullock is a successful women who fatefully meets a young man who is to become her adoptive son. There are many trials and tribulations, and you are definately going to shed a few tears.

This movie is Oscar nominated and we think it is truly deserving of this award. The preformances are outstanding and the film is based on a true story.

We give this one a rating of 4 out of 5 and think it's definately one for the DVD collection.

See it, or miss out!
