Arthur Christmas Arthur Christmas

It's that time again, time for a seasonal movie about Santa and this time Aardman take the reigns. Now, Aardman have been known for producing some great stop frame animations that I'm sure we are all familiar with, Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit to name two.

They have also tried their hands at digital animation with their previous feature Flushed Away and now their first ever 3D movie has just hit cinemas everywhere.

Arthur, Santa's youngest son, who loves Christmas more then Santa himself sets out to deliver a present to the one child that was missed on the Christmas Eve present mission that Arthur's older brother had orchestrated with new super sleigh and crazy high tech system.

Fantastic cast containing the voices of some great home grown talent including James Mc Avoy as the clumsy and caring Arthur, Bill Nighy as Grand Santa and Hugh Laurie as Steve the sled honcho.
A fantastic movie to kick start Christmas. Including a song by Justin Beiber, some great comedy and a fantastic cast, it's sure to be a big hit with children of all ages

Immortals

Long ago there was a war. Those who were vanquished we're named titans and imprisoned beneath mount tatarus, but those who won were named Gods.
This is the story of Theseus, who on a time great trouble to the Helenics, is destined to lead them to greatness against King Hyperion and his army who plan to unleash the titans is a bit for world domination.

Starring Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto and Henry Cavil, who is the new Superman. Written by Carley and Vlas Parlapanides, directed by Tarsem Singh and produced by the produced by Ryan Kavanough and Mark Canton who produced 300. This was a very big part of the advertising campaign which I personally feel is unessesary as the only similarity between the two is that they are both ancient Greek stories.

Unfortunatly this movie fell slightly sort of the great epic that it could have been but if you are looking for some great action sequences and a bit of eye candy, then this is the movie for you. I especially liked the spin of ancient mythology in this film. The Minotaur (man with the head of a bill, for those who aren't down with their Greek myths) was simply a large burly man in a bull helmet, genious.

Overall a good movie, though slightly questionable version of Theseus' story.
