Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Disney's first film and it's a classic. I loved it as a child but sadly I find it hard to watch now. The voice of Snow White and the fact she always seems to have her eyes shut grates on my nerves. But that aside it is still a great story and a...

Ghost Rider
Two hours of my life that I will never get back... The premise is interesting, but this film is just bad. The acting is terrible, the dialogue is cheesy at best and the plot is very predictable. Though to be fair Nicholas Cage was not all that...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
I had never read the books before seeing this film. The hype had put me off. Still a friend managed to drag me to see this in the cinema and I was hooked. It's a magical film that just drew me in from the opening scene. Though the acting of the...

Happy Feet
I thought I would like this movie, I really did. I mean it has dancing penguins in it... what's not funny about that? Unfortunately cute was not enough in this case. It features far too many dance scenes that serve no purpose, the humour falls...

Meet the Robinsons
I wasn't expecting much when I went to see this film, but I must say I was pleasently surprised. It was hilariously funny, heartwarming and original. Some scenes might be a little too scary and confusing for the little ones but other than that...

The Little Mermaid
This is an absolutely adorable version of Hans Christian Andersons classic fable The Littlest Mermaid. Of course being a disney film it's been given a happy ending, but it's still an amazing film. It's simply a lovely romantic story with colourful...

The Lion King
A heartwarming story combined with lovable characters, gorgeous animation and catchy tunes make this one of the best of the Disney films. I especially loved Jeromy Irons as the deliciously evil Scar.

Aladdin
I adored this film when I was 12 and I still love it today. It's a classic rags to riches story as only Disney can tell it. It features a stand out performance by Robin Williams as the Genie who grant Aladdins wishes. The music is catchy and I...

Aladdin and the King of Thieves
I'm not normally a fan of Disney's direct to video sequels, but this third Aladdin film is an exception. It's not quite as good as the original, but is way better than the second. It has all of the humour and the heart of the first one and...

Cinderella
I love the Cinderella story and this is my favourite adaption. It's a classic Disney film that has stood the test of time. One of my favourite movie scenes of all time is when Cinderella gets her dress. A wonderful film for both children and...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
This film is extremely silly... and that is just what I loved about it. It's a great space adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously and the SFX are top notch, as is the acting. Granted the British humour is not for everyone, but for those...

The Matrix
The film that spawned a thousand spoofs... it has a lot to answer for I can tell you. It's a confusing storyline at first but worth sitting through just for the special effects and the sheer originality of the storyline. For once Keanu Reeves does...

Constantine
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, but I do have to wonder at the casting of Keanu Reeves in the main role. He's just not interesting in this role and his performance is wooden at best. That aside though I loved the story, the special effects were...

Runaway Jury
Never read the book, and from what I hear that is a good thing. It is VERY different. I found this film to be an entertaining thriller with excellent performances from its stars. It keeps you guessing, but it is not confusing. That's always a good...

Happily N'Ever After
The balance of good and evil is upset in Fairy Tale Land and no one is getting their happy endings. It's an interesting idea that sadly just isn't quite pulled off here. Although it boasts an all star cast, I couldn't help but think they weren't...

The Dark Crystal
This was a childhood favourite of mine and I still love it today. Granted the puppetry leaves a lot to be desired, but it was made a long time ago so it can be forgiven for that. It's certainly not for everyone, but if you're a fan of the fantasy...

War of the Worlds
Aliens invade, lots of death, people running for their lives... blah, blah, blah. This film goes for far too long, the ending is unsatisfying and the storyline is implausible and goes nowhere. The special effects and many action scenes are really...

Underworld: Evolution
This sequel was not as good as I had hoped it would be, but still it was as good as, if not better, than the first. Lots more action to be found in this film and thankfully the acting wasn't so wooden. The script still left much to be desired though.

Underworld
I love Vampire films and this one is no exception. The special effects are good, but sadly the film is let down by some poorly written scenes and wooden performances by some of the actors. Kate Beckinsale is amazing as Vampire Selene and I adored...

Ever After
Cinderella has always been my favourite fairy tale and this version starring Drew Barrymore is definitely a favourite film. Brilliantly cast, gorgeous costumes, fine scenery and an great script makes this film a classic. Though I must admit I have...

The Wild
What do you get when you cross Madagascar with Finding Nemo? The Wild... only nowhere near as good. The animation is so-so, the story has been done before, the jokes fall flat and the actors voices just don't quite seem to suit the characters. My...

Hoodwinked
I didn't expect much when I first saw this film, so it was nice to found out it was actually good. It's clever and funny and puts fresh new spin on an old fairytale. The main let down is the quality of the animation... in this day and age I...

The Sound of Music
An oldie, but a goodie. This musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein is a light hearted piece of fluff that is suitable for the whole family. I loved it as a child and I love it still. A classic film that is still entertaining people today. If you have...

Serenity
I had only seen the first episode of Firefly when I saw this film, and I had not really thought much of it. So it was a wonderful surprise when this turned out to be such an amazing film. It's funny, heartwarming (and heartbreaking!) and filled...

‘The Closer’ is the only thing that I have ever seen Kyra in, but it’s enough to make me want to see more. She’s not what one could call a classical beauty but this does not matter as she has both charm and style, making her quite appealing. Not...
