With Johnny Depp You Can't Go Wrong!

Advantages: Finding Neverland-Beautiful and moving, Chocolat - Brilliant
Disadvantages: None!

...You can't go wrong, simply because he always plays roles which are interesting, and plays them well. Finding Neverland: General Comments: This film is about how the author (J.M. Barrie) of 'Peter Pan' came to write this wonderful play. It is heartwarming, touching and will make you both laugh and cry! The shooting is absolutely beautiful. Johnny Depp plays his character wonderfully (as always). He is complimented by Kate Winslet, who portrays the mother of the family he befriends. The children are also well done. Plot: J.M Barrie meets a family of four fatherless children and their mother in the park. He then meets them regularly and spends time with the children, which inspires him to write 'Peter Pan'. At the same time, he is becoming more and more distant from his wife, the children's grandmother and the society in which they...

Depp Double Bill!

Advantages: Johnny Depp - for individual see review.
Disadvantages: The length of this review! See review for film disadvantages.

...with the children daily, with his friendship with the kids mother, Sylvia, deepening, much to the disapproval of her mother, and his wife, Mary. Everyone is suspicious of the reasons for Barrie's interest in the children - and their mother, so naturally rumours of paedophilia and an affair spring up. Despite this, his experiences lead him to write Peter Pan, and with Sylvia's health seemingly worsening, Barrie wants to bring Neverland to her. > Info Approx. runtime 97 minutes. Certification is PG for mild language and sex references. Directed by Marc Foster, who said with reference to Finding Neverland, "It's not the exact accurate story, but for me the film really isn't about reality. It's about the transformation of imagination, about creativity, about belief. That basically, if you believe, you can make anything happen." > Cast Johnny Depp...

Johnny Depp plays Wonka!

Advantages: Great film for all
Disadvantages: None

...Johnny Depp or Gene Wilder is the decision I thought I would have to make after watching this film but to my delight the films were very different so I did not have to make the choice! THE FILM This version of the film starts in a slightly different way to the original with us seeing 20 years before when Wonka started his business in a small shop and then expanded to the massive factory which he built. It shows us how he had to sack all of his workers due to people spying and selling his secret recipes. We then go back to the present day which sees the news of 5 golden tickets being sent out for 5 children to have a tour of the factory, with one child receiving an amazing prize at the end. We see Charlie and his Grandparents talking about the fact that they never see anyone going in or out of the factory to work. Charlie...

When a man and a woman posing as police ask Gene to step into their van he obliges but it?s not long before a nightmare ensues for Gene.

It?s already almost 12.30pm so Gene must get a move on if he wants his daughter to live passed the next hour? Up until last night I had never heard of this film, going by the synopsis it sounded pretty good; ?a real time suspense thriller starring Johnny Depp? so I was a little confused as to why I had never heard of it. Being...

Johnny English

Advantages: great entertainment and side splitting comedy
Disadvantages: none

...Director: Peter Howitt Producer: Tim Bevan, Mark Huffam and Eric Fellner. Writers: Neal Purvis, William Davies and Robert Wade. Stars: Rowan Atkinson, Ben Miller, John Malkovich and Natalie Imbruglia This cracking comedy was released in the summer of 2003, the main character, Johnny English, basing himself self on a character originally created for a well known credit card company adverts.

Unfortunately, he is as competent as Inspector Jacques Clouseau (from the Pink Panther films) which does lead him into some tricky situations. His partner, Bough, pronounced 'Boff', (played by Ben Miller) is the silent hero of the movie, always allowing Johnny to take full credit...

Johnny Johnny

Advantages: funny and animated
Disadvantages: none

...As Johnny bravo has just come back on cartoon network on sky digital I thought I would write something about him. Well here are some main characters and a brief description about them. Characters Johnny Bravo- He's a Crazy Mama's Boy with a muscular build and gelled-to-perfection hair Johnny is impressed with himself and thinks everyone else is too. Unfortunately his lack of common sense and ego problem usually makes every chick he sees go running. But with the high regard of his neighbour Little Suzy, the inventions of his "best-friend" Carl, advice of Pops, and protection of his Mama he always gets through life's problems... wait no he doesn't. Carl- Carl is Johnny's "best friend" although Johnny denies it and gladly would give up his life in order to protect him (usually after Johnny does something to turn everyone...

Review of Johnny Bravo

Johnny Gill (V2: 1990 Edition)

Advantages: Consistent
Disadvantages: Little variation

...In 1990, after having two albums under his belt already, Johnny Gill was recruited to fill in for Bobby Brown after he had left New Edition, but the short stint and single album with Gill included had him turn back to his earlier days and reinvent himself as he was before, and so in spite of already having one in his name, the R&B singer chose a ?Johnny Gill? as the title to his 1990 album, just as with his 1983 debut, but this timer (as trends were leaning) with the inclusion of New Jack Swing. 1. ?Rub You The Right Way? The album gets going with a pure New Jack Swing tune. As you find that it isn?t Teddy Riley behind the production for it, the results aren?t really up to the standard that what many others were able to churn out at this time. However in Johnny Gill?s case, it really doesn?t matter as he is able to use the power in...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

English, Johnny English

Advantages: It was very funny
Disadvantages: Story, acting, plot etc

...Although I probably ought to have been revising, one of our tutors told us to take at least a whole day off a week. So a couple of weeks ago, I put impending Finals out of my mind, and spent a constructive Saturday (writing music reviews, playing pool, punting, watching a mate's band play Exeter's 'party in the park', Pizza Hut, cinema, George & Davies ice cream and a friends for relatively late night G&T and chat). So that's where Johnny English fits in to my revision schedule... The choice was X Men 2, How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and Johnny English, and you'll know by now which we chose... I knew it was a Bond-esque spy spoof starring Rowan Atkinson, but that was about it. My biggest concern was whether I'd be able to put Mr Bean out of my head - as it happened, not much problem, but I kept thinking of that guy from the Barclaycard...

Johnny's Not Rotten!

Advantages: Fantastic story, great characters, update on her previous novel!
Disadvantages: The way it ended!

...Sometimes, an author releases a superb debut novel, so much so that I go out of my way to pre-order their next release, because I'm so hopeful it'll be as good as the debut. Paige Toon's debut 'Lucy in the Sky' was one such book, and when I discovered her next release on Amazon, I quickly pre-ordered it for a bargain price. It was delivered on the day of release, and I excitedly set about reading it, looking forward to the book to come. Johnny Be Good is all about Meg Stiles. Meg was a PA for a smalll architect in London, until her boss found her the job of a lifetime..PA for Rock God Johnny Jefferson in LA. Meg happily accepts the job and moves her life over to LA. She's star-struck at meeting Johnny but soon settles in to her job. Johnny introduces her to a life of glitz and glam, and her best friend, the English-gent Christian...
