The Simpsons!

Advantages: A story that we havnt seen before on tv
Disadvantages: It's not very long

...Well the Simpsons family are back again in this action-packed film! All your favourite characters are here plus a few new ones. It was released on the 10th December 2007 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment who have been created films since 1976. The film itself is only an hour and a half long which I found to be a little disappointing as it the equivalent of only three episodes. I was hoping for something a little longer from a movie. It was however worth buying because this film is very different to the simpsons television shows and it hasn't unlike most of them been repeated about 15 times. This movie was directed by David Silverman and stars the voices of many great actors such as Dan Castellaneta and Nancy Cartwright. It only has one disk but it does have some extra features which are: six deleted scenes, trailers used...

Review of The Simpsons Movie (DVD)

The Simpsons Movie

Advantages: Some funny bits
Disadvantages: Not exactly groundbreaking

...There can't be too many people that need introducing to TV's most dysfunctional TV family but just in case there is I will begin by saying that they are an animated family that live in Springfield, somewhere in the United States. Mother to their three children, is bright blue haired Marge, father is the slob like Homer whilst the three children are Bart, Lisa and baby Maggie. The Simpson's cartoons have been screened regularly in the UK on both Sky One and Channel 4. Over 400 individual episodes of these 25 minute long cartoons have been made and this number is still rising. A full length movie version is something that had been in the pipeline for quite a few years. Unlike most animated cartoons the Simpsons are not entirely aimed at children, they have a huge adult fan base and their use of witty double entendres make them work...

The Simpsons ... Embiggened!

Advantages: Better than newer episodes, some great jokes
Disadvantages: Weaker than older episodes

...Although long-awaited, the Simpsons Movie was finally released in 2007 with the show at a widely-accepted low ebb. I think many who went to see it probably had mixed expectations; the release of something that had been in the pipeline so long was an exciting prospect, although it had been that long since the show had produced a run of consistently good episodes, only the optimistic or ardently faithful would have been predicting a return to the series' 90s heights. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle; the film is neither as good nor bad as it could have been. A year and a bit on from release, the DVD's reduced pretty much everywhere now, so if you didn't catch it at the cinema, it's worth investing in now. The premise of the movie revolves around environmental issues, specifically the pollution of Lake Springfield. After...

The Simpsons - Sex, Lies And The Simpsons Review

Advantages: Very funny, well-handled serious episodes
Disadvantages: None

...The Simpsons: Sex, Lies and the Simpsons is a collection of four episodes from "The Simpsons", each with a romantic theme. These four episodes are "The Last Temptation Of Homer", "Bart After Dark", "New Kid On The Block" and "Lisa's Rival". In "The Last Temptation Of Homer", a new employee is hired at the nuclear plant, who seems to take an interest in Homer. Meanwhile, Bart becomes an outcast after being given huge black glasses, special shoes and a throat spray that makes him sound a lot like Jerry Lewis. A funny episode, but also a serious look at Homer and Marge's relationship and how Homer acts when he is attracted to someone else. "Bart After Dark" has Lisa and Marge leaving the boys alone while they go and clean up animals after an oil spill. Bart causes some damage at the local 'haunted house', so Homer tells him to go...

"Toys" For All Ages

Advantages: Great humor and non-stop adventure.
Disadvantages: You should not operate heavy machinery while watching this show!

...This movie brings out the inner child in me! When I first saw this movie, my aspiration became to one day work in an awesome toy factory like the one in this show. Robin Williams is absolutely hilarious as Leslie (Williams) embarks on an childlike adventure with his strange yet comedic sister (Joan Cusack) as they try to bring back the joy and purity of their father's toy factory after it is taken over by their uncle (a stern military man). You will relive your dreams and fantasies as you experience the kind of toys that most of us wished we had. From dolls and stuffies, to war toys and videos games - it's all here! Have you ever seen a Sea Swine or Hurly Burly Helicopters or Maui Waui Fake Vomit or a Woozy Helmet? If you haven't you've got to see this show. It is a totally goofy and crazy flick that will have you laughing out...

Review of Toys (DVD)

Toy Story: One for the children.

Advantages: Good gameplay, alright graphics, fun for the kids.
Disadvantages: Unmemorable music, will become quickly boring to adults.

...Age Rating: 3+ Around £3 - £5 on Ebay.co.uk. Minimum Requirements: Double Speed (2x) CD-ROM Drive. 486DX2-66MHz or faster processor. 8MB of available RAMC12MB recommended. 10MB free disk space. Microsoft Windows Version 3.1 or later (Windows 95 compatible). 8-bit sound card. 256 colour Vesa, Pci or other local bus video. (There is no multi-player) I'm sure everyone's seen or at least heard of Disney's Toy Story movie which is about toys coming to life when the humans are not around. This is a video game following the storyline and creating fun levels to play. I'd had bought this years ago when I was younger and had promptly given up after becoming stuck on one of the earlier levels, four to six years later and a pound sign next to the title on Ciao! (It's all about the money) I'm loading up the game on my laptop...

The Simpsons: Gone Wild review

Advantages: Fun to watch, great writing
Disadvantages: No extras

...The Simpsons: Gone Wild is a collection of four episodes from America's favourite family! The episodes on this DVD are "Homer's Night Out", "Homer the Moe", "Sunday Cruddy Sunday" and "The Mansion Family". "Homer's Night Out" has Bart mailing off for a CIA camera after an ad he saw in the back of one of his comic books. He uses it to great aplomb, taking a picture of Homer when he is cavorting around with an erotic dancer. Soon the photo has spread around the whole town and it's only a matter of time before it ends up in the hands of Marge! An enjoyable very early episode, it highlights the trouble a marriage sometimes go through, but Marge and Homer are meant to be, and you know they'll always end up back together with a bond stronger than ever. In "Homer the Moe" Homer stands in at Moe's Tavern while Moe goes away to try and find...
