	            <title><![CDATA[UP (2009): Another hit for Pixar]]></title>
	            <link>/component/content/article/34-dvd/168-up-2009</link>
	            <description><![CDATA[
	            	            I have always had a fondness for Pixar and this is one of my favourites.

The story starts when  two children meet, one being a young quiet and shy Carl Fredricksen and the other a young loud adventurous ellie and without trying to give too much away it shows you their life together through the years. Within a fairly short amount of time we see a touching and sad part of the film and we see Carl Fredricksen as a 78 year old man who thinks his time for adventure and fun have passed him by. Well that is until he meets a Junior Wilderness Explorer named Russell who is trying to earn his Wilderness badge. From there we see Carl get to live his adventure which starts when he uses loads of balloons to lift his house off of the ground!

The characters in this film are loveable especially the dogs and kevin the bird, both of which made me laugh.

This is such an easy film to watch and i would say it would be enjoyed by adults and children alike. 

This films shows children (and adults!) about (true!) love, laughter and living our dreams in the most beautiful way possible.	            ]]></description>

	            	            Cartoons, comics, G.I.Joe action figure (Action Man for us brits) and now live action, What more could you ask for ?
Non stop action and excitement, once again people seem to be expecting Hamlet.
The plot is nothing new but the cgi is amazing, make sure to watch the extras.
It's a good, entertaining film. Just sit back and enjoy it for what it is.
It's fun.	            ]]></description>

	            	            I've read a lot of bad reviews about this film which i don't think are justified.
Seems to me people are buying films like this expecting to see something deep and meaningful.
It's a sci fi action bullet fest for gods sake. And as such, does a good job.
It's well acted, well filmed and the action is thick and fast, i buy films to be entertained and this does just that.
I've watched the dvd and blu ray and i have to say the blu ray looks a lot better and at under a tenner is well worth it.
Men will like it, women will like gerard butler, so it's a win win situation.
Buy it.
P.S. watch out for the song and dance routine from "Dexter".	            ]]></description>

	            <description><![CDATA[
	            	            Without a doubt one of the best films to come out of 2009 and one of the best if not THE best star trek film made to date. It was great to see the early days of all the crew and nice to see Leonard Nimoy back.

The casting for this film was spot on and if your a fan of the original series like me then i am sure you will agree. Zachary Quinto as Spock was a perfect choice!

This film won't disappoint old fans and is sure to gain many new fans. It was nice to see the character development and the script was just right with this film and flowed nicely.

Seeing this film made me wish they would consider doing a series with the same cast...highly unlikely i suppose but i am sure it would be a instant hit.

Live long and prosper!

	            	            This television series is about two brothers Sam and Dean Winchester who spend their time hunting demons and things that go bump in the night with their dad John.

It started when Sam was a baby, 22 years ago and Sam's mum Mary got pinned to the ceiling by something "supernatural" which set her and the house on fire and killed Mary.Sam's dad managed to save baby Sam and since that day John has hunted demons, vampires and other creatures of your nightmares.

John has raised both boys to follow in his footsteps and be Demon hunters. Yet Sam chooses to go to College rather than have a life of hunting and it isn't till a few years later that this series starts.

John Winchester has gone missing and Dean calls on the help of his brother Sam to help find him. In this series we see Dean and Sam deal with various creatures such as a Wendigo, Shapeshifter and shadow demons!

This series is well scripted, has great actors and you just have to love the car..a 67 Chevy Impala!	            ]]></description>

	            	            Cirque Du Freak:The Vampire's Assistant is based on the very popular series of books by Darren Shan.

A young boy Darren and his friend Steve find out from a leaflet about a freak show coming into town and so off they go and see the Cirque du Freak. After watching several shows including the bearded lady and the wolf man, Larten Crepsley who we find out thanks to Steve a bit later is actually a Vampire comes on with a very bright talented and yet poisonous spider. Darren ends up taking the spider or should i say "borrowing it" and Darren's friend Steve ends up getting bitten.

Darren asks Larten Crepsley for the antidote but Larten only gives it to him on the condition that he will turn Darren into a half vampire and so the story really gets started...

This is a great film and had me totally hooked and has a Harry Potter feel about it.

I had heard it didn't do as well as expected from the box office which i find very surprising to be honest. It's one film where i really hope they make a sequel.

Anyway i shall now have to go out and buy some of Darran Shan's books and see how they compare.	            ]]></description>

	            <description><![CDATA[
	            	            A new kind of Science fiction film.

The main character is Sam Bell played Sam Rockwell who is an employee of Lunar Industries,a company who is reponsible for mining for an energy source called Helium 3 which can only be found on the moon.

Sam is all by himself apart from a computer called GERTY who is voiced by Kevin Spacey. Sam has a 3 year contract with Lunar industries and he is nearing the end of the contract.

While out inspecting the helium 3 harvesters Sam crashes a lunar vehicle and ends up waking up in the main base infirmary but when he goes to check out the accident site he is shocked by what awaits him.

I really don't want to spoil this film for people who haven't watched it so won't give anymore away.

Considering this only has 2 Actors and one of those is just voiced. This film is very good and the storyline kept me hooked. If you are into your sci fi films then i highly recommend this film. 	            ]]></description>

	            	            I'm a lover of the "tongue in cheek" type movies so this is right up my street.
This is unusual to say the least, seems to be a parody of the worldwide immigration problem.
It really doesn't take itself too seriously.
Definately worth a watch. I saw the dvd version but i have no doubt the blu ray would be money well spent.	            ]]></description>

	            	            An unusual but well made sci fi film. District 9 starts off as a mock documentary set in Johannesburg, South Africa. The film is about the eviction of extraterrestrials from a refugee camp called District 9, they have been on earth for years but are now in a hostel and unfriendly environment.

This is a good well thought out film and very unique.	            ]]></description>
