Where to begin? I have recently began to watch the first series and I am hooked. The show is so gripping- maybe because of all of those horrible cliff-hangers! Every episode is a flash back about every character- and I really like that. In a way, the flash back justifies what the character does in that episode. This really helps you to get to know the characters- there are so many of them.

My only dislike of the show is that it can sometimes be slightly scary and/or gory. Also, how long will it last? Rumours say it will run for 7 series, but I highly doubt that. Ratings are dropping in the second series as no questions are really being answered. I mean, why are there polar bears on a destert island and why does the french women have an english accent?

I think that the acting is to a very high standard on the show, and generally it makes you laugh, cry and scream in every episode!

 

Based on the novel by Cornelia Funke, this charming tale follows six-year-old Bo (Jasper Harris) and fifteen-year-old Prosper (Aaron Johnson), two recently orphaned brothers who escape their impending separation by running off to Venice. There they have fantastical adventures with the mysterious masked figure known as the Thief Lord and his band of child followers, who show the boys all the magic the city has to offer…

 

I saw this film yesterday at the Odeon. I was reluctant to go at first, despite having loved the book, as I thought it would not stick to the book and be a bot of a fluke. However, I thought this film was fantastic. There were no real famous faces in it, but it stuck to the book and for me, was an overall sucess.

The acting was superb, especially in comarison with the likes of Danel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter films, and it was nice to see that the movie was made in mind without making more money from a video game, although I'm sure there will be one. (Lets face it, what childs movie doesn't have a video game these days?)

The music was also very good, not comparable to The Lord of the Rings music, but it was still good and afterwards the main theme was still in my mind. My only complaint about the movie, and it is a very small and picky one, is that it didn't make me scared. While reading the book I was terrified, and I didn't feel that fear in the film. But maube that's just because I'm a bit older now! The film is a PG, but I recomend it for ages 7+.

Hello and welcome to my Blog!!

I hope that, on this blog, I will start a collection of movie reviews and it will help you decide if that movie is worth a go, or should it be thrown away quickly. Everytime I watch a film I will give it a rating- which will go in the post title- and then a brief summary (without giving anything away) and finally I will write about what I liked and disliked.

I hope people will start visiting this blog, and it will be useful to you!
