Advantages: Really good story, Inventive, Great for the whole family Disadvantages: This type of film has been done before
to disappear one after the other and the Cortez's have no choice but to fight the techno-wizard Fegan Floop and his evil, egg-headed sidekick, Minion. Soon afterwards the Cortez's disappear leaving Carmen and Juni to come to the rescue using all the latest spy gadgets. In the truest sense Carmen and Juni become Spy Kids.
Spy Kids is the first film of the Spy Kids trilogy, directed and written by Robert Rodriguez. Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara also star in the film which was released back in 2001.

Advantages: Great Adventure Story Disadvantages: A bit advanced for my 4 year old
I decided it was time to treat myself to a new book from the library and had to take my two little boys with me, my 4 year old really wanted to choose a few books for himself while we were there and as the service is free I thought why not?

Advantages: very funny, well acted, entertaining, good story Disadvantages: none
Carry On Spying is one of the best Carry On films, nicely balancing a good plot with some hilarious moments. It is also the first Carry On appearance for Barbara Windsor & one of her best.
This spoofs all the usual James Bond, Mata Hari kind of genre, but with a reverence, so you are laughing at it, but it does not detract from the continuing plot of the film you are watching.
The cast are excellent throughout, with Bernard Cribbins, Jim Dale & Dilys Laye making welcome reappearances.
It is interesting, exciting & entertaining, as well as being very clever & funny. It basically has everything you could wish for & stands out as one of the best Carry On films ever made. ...
