Advantages: Fantastic look back at Fred Dibnah's life Disadvantages: None
Fred Dibnah. Man of steam. Getting steamed Up is a very popular Fred Dibnah DVD. I heard someone say: "When they made Fred Dinah, they broke the mould." That's a nice thing to say, a good compliment, really, but it is not quite true. For Fred's sons are equally as passionate able steam preservation as their late father. But that's slightly off the point, here, so on with the review.
This DVD shows many aspects of Fred's life. His fascination with chimneys, his love of steam and also his love of historical building and a stirring belief that we must preserve our industrial heritage for our own and future generations.
Watching Fred swap tales of steam engines and of steeplejacking and jokes with his equally steam mad friends whilst supping ale at what the DVD bills as "the world's largest steam rally" at The Dorset Steam Fair is ...
Advantages: Some funny moments. Disadvantages: Not enough funny moments because of the sloppy writing.
with the backgrounds and Paul Giamatti's padding looks fake because it moves with his clothes and not his body.
The screenplay by Dan Fogelman and Jessie Nelson is uneven. The pacing suffers as a result of the combination of jokes and sentiment - the subplot involving a lovelorn elf slows everything right down. Fred's crumbling relationship with his girlfriend is introduced and then sidelined early on so you don't feel involved. The writers hit the moral "there are no naughty children" too hard, so you feel like you're being bludgeoned with it. There's never any doubt there will be a cheery resolution to everything. You know Nick and Fred will make up, that Willie the elf will get the girl and of course Christmas will be saved because the writing is so transparent. It's about fifteen minutes too long at a hundred and sixteen minutes because ...

Advantages: great talent, amazing and unique plot, nice length Disadvantages: not too humerous
I am a massive film fan, and I absolutely adore going into one of the local cinemas to catch up on the latest films! Last year, my friend and I went in to see the Christmas film of 2006 (Santa Clause 3) on the 1st of December, to get us into the festive spirit. This year, we decided to carry on this new tradition, so we checked up on the latest films, and one in particular caught our attention; Fred Claus! It seemed like the perfect Christmas film for us to see, and the trailer we watched for it made it out to be very comic and amusing. So it was decided; at eight o clock' on that Saturday, we ventured to the local Vue cinema to watch the new and exciting festive film, Fred Claus!
