Reviews of the Week

This film is fantastic. i wish i could meet Mr fox , my 2 reasons are: 1. he is very brave. 2. he risks his own life for others,puts others in front of him. They are my reasons. All the animals are trapped by these 3 big meanies. they are determained to kill the animals. I don't like that bit because i love animals. I liked this film,really good. i would reccomend this film to any one.

Alien movies have been done time and time again. High budget one, low budget ones, documentary ones (District 9, I salute you) and even camcorder ones (Cloverfield I abhor you) But the trouble is that even though these ‘alien’ movies are about green beings that abduct people, fly in saucers, massacre cows and actually don’t exist, they take themselves far too seriously. So what about an alien comedy filled with political satire and a few rude jokes? ‘Paul’ is the answer! Paul is an alien who crash lands on Earth (Or in more detail, on someone’s dog). After being manipulated by the government and even movie directors (He’s seen giving advice to Steven Spielberg!) for information, he decides to go back to his planet. So with the help of two sci-fi loving geeks, he tries to go back. This movie was a lot cleaner than what I expected but I would still recommend this movie for older viewers due to its incessant use of the “F” word and various crude jokes. However it’s a comedy with some actual heart-warming moments. One of the better alien movies!

The Sound of music is a very funny film, I loved the spectacular backdrop which was a sunny, posh home for a family. This family ,however, seemed to be more strict than any other family until Maria came along. She really gave the family a much happier life, especially the kids. I do like The Sound of Music, although the thing that was starting to annoy me was all of the singing. I know the film is all about the sound of music but personally, I think there was just too much singing going on everwhere, it seemed as if the hills were alive with the sound of music. My favourite characters would be the two people that lived with Maria before she became a nanny, without their parts the story would come to a very disapointing end. I thought sometimes Maria was a little shocked, when she saw how there was no exitment in the childrens lives but this was soon to change. Happily though I did enjoy it it told a great story that will last forever. So thank you very much to Mr Burman and Miss Young for organising this brillant film.I do love the sunny backdrop on the grassy hills. I also thought that most of the teachers who came in to watch it really enjoyed themselves too, including Mrs Boniface. Thank you to everyone for making it all so special. Hopefully the next one will be as good as this one. And thank you to the very talented director, Robert Wise, for directing this wonderful, although long film. I cant believe the film has been around since 1965 and I have never seen it before film club!

Creation is based on the true story of one of the greatest scientist that has ever lived Charles Darwin. I heared about this film on the TV and i didn't found much interest ,then i came from school and my mum had bought it so we watched it. I completely changed my mind . It shows that illness does not stop you from following your dream and still be devoted to your family .The relationship between Darwin and his beloved daughter Annie (who has the same illness) is so strong it will make you cry .Thats not the only relationship that will make you cry in this film... Charles Darwin is one of the most important men on this planent so this is a great way to represent his life in a emtional but nice way and that is why i'm going to give this film four stars

Set during the Salvadoran civil war (1980- 1992), this film is based on a young boy's trauma of growing up in a war-zone. Whilst doing so, Chava tries to live a normal boy’s childhood- even though his life is turning upside down all around him. I was inspired by how the writer illustrated how brutal and horrendous war can be. Not just for the soldiers, but for the civilians and children too who get caught up in the ferocity of it. My favourite part of the film was when the Army under the Government, known as the FMLN, came to take the boys from Chava’s village for conscription. Strangely, there were no boys to be found. This was because Chava had intervened and told all the boys in the village that the army was coming. Then, they all hid on the slanted roofs of their houses and escaped the conscription. I liked this part as I thought that them hiding on the roofs was quite a clever way of concealing themselves, although I don’t insist you trying it at home. My favourite character was the childish man who acted like a lunatic. He was constantly playing games with the children and entertained them during times of sorrow. He even saved Chava from the soldiers, but at the cost of his own life. I found the ending tremendously depressing and heartbreaking, but I thought it was a good way to end the film. On the whole, this was an excellent film with a great cast. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know what it’s like for children to grow up in a war-zone.

Considering it was made in the 1950's, I would say it was good. I think if they modernized it and casted a few famous actors it would be very good. I think they should change the warships into pirates and take out the squid. I would watch it again but at a few points (especially at the beginning) it did not make sense or it was just repeated. At about three quarters through the film I was thinking 'All they do is sink then panic then fix the problem over and over again" I liked how they had a secret weapon and only brought it out half way through the film, maybe if we did modernize the film we could have an even stronger and powerful weapon. I only rated the film three star because it was not terrible and it was not brilliant either. But I have to take in consideration as it was made in 1954. If I were born and still doing film club in the 1950's I would definite rate this film five star because if you think about it then to film underwater and to make the giant squid must be hard then because they had only just created the technology to do that. I think that they should have made the film slightly shorter and take out some of the less dramatic sinks. But saying that, I think they should have came up with a 20,000 leagues under the sea 2 or carried it on a bit longer. Most of the actors in it were brilliant like captain Nemo who was excellent he just remained calm all the time and even if there was four gallons of water rushing in on his head or his submarine was 20,000 leagues under the sea he still remained calm and took control. I thought Esmereld the seal was funny and well trained. I thought the professor was the main character in the first half and then he kind of went into hiding during Ned Land and co went to shore and met the cannibals. But then he kind of disappeared and I thought that was quite strange. I would also make him an english professor with a strong british accent because then you understand what he is saying. I think if we make a moderner version of the story we should make them go to the Arctic at the end when they are in the small lifeboat/dingo thing and that is where the movie ends and then the same cast and director create another movie to follow on about there adventures in the Arctic.

One of the finest films made in recent years. It's a poignant story about hope. Hope gets me. That's what makes a film like this more than a movie. It tells a lesson about life. Those are the films people talk about 50 or even 100 years from you. It's also a story for freedom. Freedom from isolation, from rule, from bigotry and hate. Freeman and Robbins are majestic in their performances. Each learns from the other. Their relationship is strong and you feel that from the first moment they make contact with one another. There is also a wonderful performance from legend James Whitmore as Brooks.

All right....all right. Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. What shall I start with? It's great mix of genres? The outstanding directing or just the brightness of the film? Well, in my opinion, this is one of the greatest movies ever made. (And I have seen a fair few movies.) In my eyes it's the perfect movie. It will do one of two things to you: You'll watch half and hate it, think it wasn't for you. OR you'll do what most people do....fall in-love with it within the first moment. That's what I did. I've seen this film more than any other. It's fast pace, colorfulness will grab you straight away. The film has comedy, romance, action, drama and musical elements all compacted into an hour and forty minutes. It is every awkward geeks dream (Such as myself) Micheal Cera plays his best character yet. Funny, awkward and somewhat oblivious. He falls for the girl of his dreams, Ramon Flowers, who is almost impossible not to fall for yourself. A lot of people have fallen for her.... in fact, about 7 other people have. Her evil ex-boyfriends. Based off the comic book (Scott Pilgrim) it is the best adaptation I've ever seen. Even though it goes off course from the books, real Pilgrim fans simply won't care. It's so good, I feel like words can't express it's awesomeness. The director Edgar Wright is my favorite and what he did with this movie couldn't of been done by anyone else. The time put into it, crafting and pure heart that was put into this after about 5 years of pre-production. This film will make you exited! It will make you want to jump and scream! And what can I say? Heart-warming. (Okay don't shoot me yet) Just see this film, you'll rather get what I mean...or you won't. This film is great for all boys and girls I'd say in between the ages of 12 and 26, younger one's will enjoy the colors and older people might just feel old. Although that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it, parents! The story, characters, music, special effects, actors, the writing! It is ALL perfect in every way. Funny, witty, the best there is. It's pact with a great soundtrack and well timed video game homages, but I didn't even notice them first time around so don't let that put you off if you don't know your games. I could talk all day about this film and useless trivia I know. There is also a great score piece by Nigel Godrich that's a homage to The Warriors (1979). This film inspired thousands of people... and I'm sure it will inspire more. You like Asian martial arts movies? Like games? Hell, like films? Well, this is your film...almost everyone's film. But you know, that's just my opinion. Thank you Edgar Wright for bringing this magnificent gem to our screens and lives.

My favourite character was the white cat called Snowbell because he saved Stuart from the other naughty cats, although Snowbell and Stuart started off not liking each other. The other mice such as Stuart's fake mother and father Reginald and Camille were not very nice because they kidnapped him. I liked it when Stuart zoomed around in the little red toy car all the time. It was really cute that Stuart and his brother George built the boat together and that's how George started to like Stuart. It was amazing when Stuart went on the boat for the race. I thought it was brilliant that Stuart was able to steer the boat so well and that a mouse won the race on a model boat. It was called The Wasp. The funniest part was when all the cats fell into the water at the Central Park Boat Race. I could watch this film again and again and not get bored.
