Zoey 101 (2005)
Jamie-Lynn Spears- The Next Best Thing???
I love Zoey 101 (Nickelodean, daily) the characters are not that realistic- their behaviour is too damn good it gets on my nerves, I think the only realistic character is Logan (the one that's vein and loves himself too much). The setting for Zoey 101 is chosen perfectly PCA (Pacific Coast Academy) and the rooms are spectacular, come on wouldn't you want classrooms with stunning, brand new laptops in it and your room have a beach view with a fridge and you get to share it with 3 of your friends- I certainly would. Zoey 101 is a superb show with great acting from all the cast especially Zoey (Jamie-Lynn Spears)who could be dubbed as the next best thing??? 9/10 great- the best show on Nickelodean!!!
Robots (2005)
Brilliant but not a patch on giants such as Finding Nemo and The Incredibles
Robots- This film is pure excellence right from the beginning to the fascinating finale, this animation sees Robin Williams at his best. I find that the beginning of Robots drags on a bit, but when he catches the train to Robot City that's where the fun really begins. The scene where Robin Williams character is on the slide thing is one of the best scenes in the movie. My favourite character has to be Fender (I think that's his name)- the one that's always losing his parts. My favourite scene is towards the end when all the good robots are fighting the evil, upgraded robots and Fender is dressed in up like a school girl and belts out Britney Spears number 1 hit 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' while he's bashing the upgraded robots on the head. 8/10 brilliant but not a patch on Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc or The Incredibles.
The Amityville Horror (2005)
Disturbing
This film is really disturbing and watching it in a cramped room with 7 people in it- it's still terrifying. The beginning can seem to drag on a bit, but successfully builds up the tension to the frightening climax. I think this is the most terrifying film I have ever watched but I think without the music I would have found it less scary. The Amityville Horror is firstly set in the early 20th Century and sees the DeFeo family get brutally murdered by the father, it then comes into present times and a family buy the house not knowing what's been witnessed there, then at 3.15am every morning.... Watch the film to find out. A must see movie for any horror fan. 6/10
Corpse Bride (2005)
Nothing Spectacular
This film is average, not the best Tim Burton has done but not the worst either. Some parts of the film are a real bore and some parts are exciting. Helena Bonham-Carter suited the part of the Corpse Bride brilliantly and provided a great voice for her. On parts I found the music spoiled the film and could have done better without it. This film may scare children under 8 years old, my 8 year old sister was hiding her eyes on one scene close to the beginning, so be prepared. This film could be a rip off of the ultra successful 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and is no way better than it. People over 14 years old might find this film rubbish and childish and a waste of their money. 5/10
Hocus Pocus (1993)
Magical!!!
Magnificent acting from all the cast especially from Bette Midler (Winifred Sanderson), Omri Katz(Max), and Thora Burch (Dani). The film is magical right from the opening scene to the spectacular finale. Hocus Pocus really is a film for the whole family, even your 86 year old granny will find this amazing film spectacular. Hocus Pocus is first set in the late 19th century where the Sanderson Sisters take the life of a little girl named Emily Binx to make them young but Emily's brother is too late to save her and the witches turn him into a black cat named Binx. The town folk are furious and they hang the witches only for them to be bought back from the grave by a virgin...
Britney Spears Live from Las Vegas (2001)
Britney Dazzles Las Vegas
This concert was the best I have ever seen, she truly dazzles the Las Vegas audience and the rest of the world with 90minutes of chart topping hits like Oops!...I Did It Again to Overprotected to the raunchy I'm A Slave 4 U. The opening is unmissable with an astonishing performance of Oops!...I Did It Again and the finale is just as good with a re-mix of Baby One More Time and Britney looks stunning while performing Lucky in the united states coat. This concert is truly unmissable. worth buying the DVD!!! List of tracks used from album Baby...One More Time: Baby...One More Time (Re-mix), (You Drive Me) Crazy, Born To Make You Happy, Sometimes. from album Oops!...I Did It Again: Oops!...I Did It Again, Lucky, Stronger, Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know. from album Britney: Overprotected, I'm A Slave 4 U, Boys, I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman, I Love Rock 'N' Roll, What It's Like To Be Me, Lonely, Anticipating.
Never before has Britney performed so well and with so much energy. Britney gives it her all in this concert from bungee jumping to playing a jewellery box ballerina, Britney is a one-woman explosion of talent. Also included on the DVD are video's for I'm A Slave 4 U, Overprotected, and I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman plus the US trailer for Crossroads.
