DVD review - Warhorse

I love relaxing by watching DVD's and haven't done that in a long time, so when I was sent the dvd Warhorse to watch, I was excited to have a night of relaxing and watching a movie.

The movie Warhorse is directed by Steven Spielberg and is a adventure movie set in the time of World War 1.  I watched the trailer for this movie and was quite interested to watch it.

It is a beautiful story of inspiration, loyalty and adventure. The movie starts off a little slow, but picks up and becomes interesting and emotional.

The movie is about Joey ( the horse) who belongs to Albert, a young boy who bonds with his horse and trains him to work the fields as a work horse to save the family home. But when World War 1 begins, Alberts father sells Joey the horse to the army.

The story then follows Joey as he goes through countrysides and battlefields with the army,  meeting many people and places along the way. Joey finds another friend horse that he bonds with instantly and Joey proves to really be a courageous war horse.

The movie is captivating as it goes through the scenes of the war. The movie gives a strong message of loyalty, bravery and love. There are definitely some strong war scenes, but overall the message of the movie is beautiful - and you will need a tissue or two!

Have you seen Warhorse? What did you think? What is the latest movie you watched?

Gnomeo and Juliet DVD review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

We all know the story of Romeo and Juliet and the gorgeous love story!

When I first saw the preview for the movie Gnomeo and Juliet I loved it. The garden gnomes are so cute!

The movie is about the red family and blue family of gnomes who are rivals and do not want to have anything to do with each other.

But one day Gnomeo (blue family) and Juliet (red family) meet and there is a instant connection between the two of them. They hide their friendship but do get caught out and the adventure begins.

The characters are so loveable and funny, with the story making reference to the actual Romeo and Juliet story pretty well. The music in the movie is filled with Elton John songs which compliments the movie. The animation is definitely state of the art quality.

This movie is great for adults and children. My two year old loves it and is captivated by the adventures that take place and my eight year old son blogged about it on his blog - World for Kids  (he would love it if you could check out his blog!)

Tangled DVD review and Giveaway (CLOSED)

Heard the story of Rapunzel? When I was younger I knew her as the girl with long hair. So when the movie Tangled came out I was excited to watch it. This movie now is one of my favourites. I absolutely enjoyed it and have watched it over and over again, I know I have a obsession! (All thanks to Disney!)

The story of Tangled is a modern twist on the classical story of Rapunzel. It is the story of Rapunzel (voice over by Mandy Moore) who is kidnapped by Mother Gothel as she wants Rapunzel's magical abilities that are in her hair to keep her younger.

Rapunzel is raised in a tower by Mother Gothel for eighteen years and her hair is never cut and has grown 70 feet long. Rapunzel has dreams, a creative talent and a pet chameleon Pascal. Every year on Rapunzel's birthday floating lights are released from the palace and Rapunzel loves watching them floating in the sky and longs to be able to go and see them, but Mother Gothel forbids her to ever leave the tower.

One day a outlaw Flynn Rider (voice over by Zachary Levi) ends up in the tower and is captured by Rapunzel. Rapunzel makes a deal with him, he is to guide her to the floating lights that she has forever longed to see and she will let him go. Rapunzel escapes the tower with Flynn and it is quite an adventure.

The movie has intriguing, loveable characters that are played with great emotions. Rapunzel is such a loveable character she is innocent and has a beautiful outlook on life, finally following her heart. The storyline is captivating, hilarious and thrilling. The movie has excellent animated motion pictures and uplifting music. My children loved the movie too.
