One of the year's biggest delights
“Loved the first 'Paddington', was not sure whether that would be the case but it turned out to be one of that year's biggest surprises and delights. Was enthused about hearing that there was a sequel with the same crew returning, always a plus when it comes to sequels, but there was the concern as t” read more
A sheer delight with something for everyone
“Was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did, to be honest, after seeing the trailer which gave off the vibe that it was going to be another live-action/CGI outing with a weak script, a predictable story, cheap gags and characters we don't care about. After seeing the film, Paddington had none of ” read more
Benchmark in both Horror and Action Gaming.
“Warning: SpoilersHaven't picked this up in years, and yet, dusting off my Wii last week, just in time to miss out on the virtual console now i could afford it, i have now completed what must be my fifteenth play-through of the main story, and like some kind of Plagas itself, the tension, the dread, ” read more
“I love comedy, when it is funny, clever, intelligent and sophisticated. Imagine my surprise when I saw the first episode of The Office, huge surprise and in a very good way too. Since seeing the first episode I have been hooked on this show. Why? Because it is funny. The writing is a vast majority o” read more
The best sequel since the original...
“And as much as I did like the original 1996 movie, despite some convolutions in the story, I found this sequel even better and better than the better-than-reputation-but-flawed sequels. Perhaps it is little too long, but there are so many impressive things about it. The plot may have a sense of fami” read more

“From Alexander Payne comes an outstanding and impeccably performed film, that is poignant, deeply funny, tragic and truthful, with some consistent moments of wit as well. Sideways also gets my pick as the best film of 2004, and there were a few strong films that year, however it was this film that t” read more
Kubrick's swansong his most underrated?
“In my opinion, I think it is. Not his best mind you, I personally would put 2001, Clockwork Orange, Dr Strangelove, Full Metal Jacket and Barry Lyndon over Eyes Wide Shut, but while I haven't seen it in quite some time and have been meaning to revisit it I remember not being particularly impressed w” read more
My favourite movie of the year so far
“That in mind, there is more of 2011 I have yet to see, hence the so far bit, but I absolutely loved this movie after seeing it when it came out today. From the trailers and advertising it looked like a bright, breezy and entertaining animation, and in my mind it was much more than that. And I genuin” read more
"Three Colours Trilogy": Part 2
“While 'Three Colours: White' may be the weakest of Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colours Trilogy", that is in no way saying that it is a bad film (to me it was actually still an extremely good one) and that it's testament to the trilogy's consistently high overall quality.'Three Colours: White' coul” read more
"Three Colours Trilogy": Part 3
“All three films in the "Three Colours Trilogy" are must watches, and even me considering 'Three Colours: White' the weakest of the three is not saying anything to discredit it. That is still a great film which is testament to the brilliance of 'Blue' and 'Red' for them to be even better.'Three Colou” read more
"Three Colours Trilogy": Part 1
“Instead of saying which is the best and worst (though have often heard 'Red' cited best and 'White' the weakest, though all three films are generally very highly thought of) of Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colours" trilogy, it will just be said that all three films in the trilogy are must-watches i” read more
Something of a towering achievement
“Of the work of Krzysztof Kieslowski seen thus far ("The Three Colours Trilogy", 'The Double Life of Veronique' and 'Dekalog'), it's 'Three Colours: Red' and 'Dekalog' that stand out as particularly masterful, though there is not a dud in the lot.'Dekalog' is simply put a towering achievement, one of” read more
A great sequel to a great first film
“The original How to Train Your Dragon was a great, no, wonderful film that was not only the best DreamWorks film since The Prince of Egypt but also one of the best animated films of the 2000s. While it does start off a tad slow and not as endearingly simple as the original, this sequel was excellent” read more
One of my comfort shows and guilty pleasures
“Warning: Spoilers"If you want a happy ending that depends, of course, on where you stop your story."

Decent sequel, but inferior to the first film.
“The first film was very entertaining, with some well-choreographed sword fights and a witty script. The sequel while entertaining on the most part, is definitely inferior in comparison. What I did like about the sequel was the cinematography, it was very handsome like in the first film. The performa” read more
Great colourful fun from Dreamworks
“Dreamworks have been hit and miss for me(mostly hits), while I love The Prince of Egypt and How to Train Your Dragon, Shark Tale and Bee Movie left me underwhelmed. Watching the trailer for The Croods, admittedly I wasn't entirely impressed. But as I love animation so much and because I believe in g” read more

“I will admit Open Season isn't outstanding, but it was likable and fun. It is too short however, there are some predictable parts in the story and it occasionally feels too rushed. That said, it looks wonderful, with some lovely backgrounds and colours and the character designs are agreeable. The so” read more
Beautifully animated, if rather bland
“I have always loved animation, whether it's cartoons(Looney Tunes and Silly Symphonies), films or TV shows. Planet 51 is not a bad movie, but at the end of the day it felt rather bland. I've seen worse certainly, but I can also think of better out there. The animation is wonderful though, very rich ” read more
“Have a good deal of fondness for the original television series, if marginally as a child than an adult. Didn't care for the first feature film from 2011 but didn't find anywhere near as bad as it was made out to be, it had a lot of faults but was semi-watchable.It's pretty much the same with 'The S” read more
“I sort of enjoyed the previous two movies, they were not great movies but I found them quite cute. I wish I could say the same for this latest instalment, but I can't. It does have its moments, Jason Lee and David Cross are decent and have some entertaining exchanges. The film apart from some slapda” read more
Not quite amazing, but very good
“Cartoon Network are not as good as they were, back in the days when Dexter's Laboratory, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken and Powerpuff Girls were airing, but it is not a channel to give up hope on. There is trash like Problem Solvers, Mad and especially Johnny Test(Ben 10: Om” read more
A childhood favourite that still holds up today
“I am still very fond of Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. It was a huge favourite of mine when I was little, and re-visiting it again it is still is. yes perhaps not the truest to the comics but on its own terms it is amazing. The animation is amazingly detailed, with the colours smooth and the character” read more
