Barney - Happy Mad Silly Sad


?Barney - Happy Mad Silly Sad? is the newest DVD release featuring everybody?s favourite purple dinosaur. He is again given plenty of assistance through his trusty friends, ?BJ? and ?Baby Bop? who also remotely look like dinosaurs as well as some slightly annoying child actors. All the dinosaur characters are extremely colourful, a pre-requisite for […]

Elmo?s World - The Street We Live On


Directed by Kevin Clash, Ken Diego and Victor Di Napoli
Can you guess what Elmo is thinking about today? Da da da dah!! He is thinking about Sesame Street because it has recently celebrated its 35th anniversary and this is another way to cash in on that fact. Therefore not only do you get 50 odd […]

Ladder 49


Directed by Jay Russell
Firstly, I must say that I have not seen ?Backdraft?, probably the only other movie to tackle the topic of fire fighting and so I can not compare the two. I will leave that up to you. I will say that I did enjoy this film and it even managed to keep […]

Wiggles, The - It?s a Wiggly Wiggly World


We have most Wiggles DVDs sitting in our collection now and I must admit to not feeling tempted to buy this one as I did not know any of the songs and one look at the guest artists on the DVD didn?t change my mind either. When I was offered the opportunity to review it […]

She Devil


Directed by Susan Seidelman
Roseanne Barr is better known for her highly successful 80?s television show ?Roseanne? than as a movie actress and as a result has completed very few films, thankfully!! This film, ?She Devil? may have also contributed to her oh so short Hollywood stint, because, it was, how can I put it, pretty […]

Heartbreak Kid, The


Directed by Michael Jenkins
I don?t normally like to review Australian films because to be blunt, they are usually rubbish, but this is one of the few exceptions. Even twelve years after it was first released at the cinemas it still remains relevant today. In fact a similar plot has recently been played out in a […]

National Treasure


Directed by John Turteltaub
I thought I made a mistake in choosing to sitting down to watch ?National Treasure? so late at night. I thought, long film, after 10pm, I am sure to fall asleep. But, No! The film was so entertaining that not once did I drift off to dreamland. The storyline was unique […]

Hello Kitty Goes to the Movies


I have to own up to having little interest in ?Hello Kitty? other than seeing the cute merchandise that has graced store shelves for many years now. I did not know any of the characters names and had never seen a cartoon before so watching this DVD was always going to educate me but not […]

Bananas in Pyjamas - Party Pack


If you are up for a Bananas marathon then this DVD is for you. It has three previously released videos on the one DVD. Wow, that?s nearly 150 minutes of Banana capers to enjoy and 30 full episodes. My god, what child would sit in front of a television for that long? Not mine, […]
