Well if you want to turn off brain, engage chuckle vision, and generally have a bit of entertainment. Try Cheaper by the Dozen.

Steve Martin, some bint, some kids and loads of visual humour. 3/5

is "re-imagined" the word Tim Burton oft uses. Apparently this ones more true to the book, just updated

like i've said before, no umpa lumpa's etc.

it still looks amazing though.

i used to work at pilsworth cinema in Bury and the best tagline i ever saw was on the remake of Nicholas Nickleby

''Contains scenes of mild peril and street racing''

To be honest it was a near immposible task to create a film from such a world renown and scary as hell LP,CD,Tape. The damn thing is so good that you dont need pictures, Richard Burton drills them into your subconcious. I might just be a freak but the images that were running around in my head frightened me half to death!! and as for the noise from the machines? The noise the machines made in the film sounded like they had indijestion, not even close to the spooky noise from the LP/CD/Tape
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DUN DUN DAA.

Want to watch a fantastic film with the best graphics ever created? Turn of the TV, put your headphones on, Lock the door draw the curtains, put on a nappy and press play!!

Happy viewing

Fantastic Four, great effects, The Thing And Human Torch are superb, unfortunately, the rest is pish....oh well.

The Wedding Crashers

It's probably becoming clear that I often go to the cinema for a bit of light relief, rather than a moving cinematic experience. And light relief this provided... for a while, but then it departed from its mildy interesting and amusing concept and was left looking pretty weak really. Becomes a bit cliché-ridden in the second half, and is generally an average film.

Rating: **

Its a damn shame because Vince Vaughn is a brilliant comic actor. Has Owen Wilson ever made a film wthout being teamed up with someone else?
