Book Description

Raymond Briggs, creator of The Snowman, tells a magical Christmas

story that will appeal to everyone who wants to believe in Santa Claus.


Meet Father Christmas: a very human gift-giver with a tough job to do. You'll

find out that he sometimes gets a little grumpy living at the icy North Pole

and squeezing down chimneys, but he more than makes up for it in heart and

humor. Raymond Briggs brings this endearing character to life in over 100

wonderfully illustrated vignettes that follow the adventures of Father

Christmas on his big night of the year.


"...one of the most irrestibile yuletide books to appear in many

years."--The Horn Book

4 stars for content reasons only... see below
Narrated by none other than Santa himself, FATHER CHRISTMAS is a cute look at the "rest" of Santa's life. Go along for the ride as Santa vacations in France, Scotland and even Las Vegas before returning to the comforts of home.

Not traditional in any sense of the term, this film brings a more modern feel to the "life of Santa". Use parental discretion when purchasing this video... young children may become confused by this story and might come to you with questions such as why Santa has no Mrs., why he only has four reindeer, and why he lives in a house that appears to be in a city. This film is, however, perfect for the post-kindergarden crowd who understand that there is more than one way to look at things and will not be bothered by trivial differences in detail. Also of note is a brief gambling sequence during Santa's visit in Las Vegas. While the video doesn't make mention of it, it does show Santa involved in the act. If you actively avoid exposing your child to this activity, (sadly) you should avoid this film as well.

A mere 24 minutes, this video is perfect for families who don't want to miss out on classic Christmas entertainment but don't want their kids parked in front of a tv for hours. (NOTE: if you have a DVD player, I highly recommend purchasing the joint copy of The Snowman (also by Raymond Brigs and a personal favorite of mine) and Father Christmas - you'll get two holiday classics for far less than the cost of purchasing them seperately).

ENJOY!

Father Christmas is a winner
This comic-strip-like book is very British, slightly irreverent, and quite funny. Actually, I think it makes a good Christmas book for adults, but children too can enjoy the warmth and comfort of the many pleasant holiday scenes depicted.

Father Christmas
Nice but a disappointment as the grumpy charm of the original has been editted out and replaced with a sanitized version conforming to preceived American tastes.

The staple of my family's christmas since it was printed
Ever since I can remember, this book was out on christmas day and my mother would read to me in her best english accent. this is a timeless piece, there is always something new to it and we cherish the book. pure genius and enjoyment!

Wonderful children's classic
This is a marvelous and a very funny book:) A Christmas book to be read over and over. I loved it when I was young and still love it today. Have a merry bloomin' Christmas! ... Read more

Speechless..Well Spoken Movie.
An oddity of sorts because you have the two actors who played Batman and Superman in one movie (Micheal Keaton and Christopher Reeve respectively). With that aside, SPEECHLESS delivers on the grounds of a decent romantic/screwball comedy. Keaton and Geena Davis play speechwriters for rival candidates in a New Mexico senatorial campaign who meet and fall in love under unusual circumstances. They must keep their love alive when the campaign becomes intense and they must keep their loyalty to their respective candidates. Typical light characters played by Keaton and Davis and Christopher Reeve thrown into the mix as an old boyfriend of Davis trying to revive the old relationship. Overall, solid entertainment that's unoffensive with snappy dialogue.

Speechless or SCRIPT-LESS? Cute but not exactly "brainy"
Gena Davis and Michael Keaton fall in love "at first sight". OK, I'm still with them. They BOTH are involved in OPPOSING political campaigns, neither knowing about the other's activities at first. OK, it's about 10,000 to 1 now. After several additional twists and turns (resulting in incredibly unlikely situations), they end up together, apparently living happily ever after. Now the odds have increased to about 10 million to one! -- This story is about as likely as the unspeakably unbelievable love story delivered by Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in "You've Got Mail".

I was entertained by this "light fluff", especailly when "their song" was worked in. The two leads worked well together, no problem there. I just found the story to be shamefully unbelievable. If you enjoy romantic comedies, you're getting a great romance, but be warned of the "I Love Lucy" loonacies!

Quer se apaixonar ?.......Então veja esse filme.
É impossível não se apaixonar por Michael Keaton ao ver esse filme, ao lado de Geena Davis, eles fazem um dos casais mais belos e engraçados do cinema. Vocês irão morrer de rir com a hilária passagem em que eles fazem uma palestra para adolescentes em uma escola, assim como diversas outras, também muito engraçadas. Mas antes de ser uma comédia, esse filme é um romance que não deixa nada a dever a filmes como : Uma linda mulher e Sintonia de amor. Nenhum romântico pode deixar de vê-lo.

Delightful and Funny
Speechless is delightful! The chemistry between Davis and Keaton is the best I have seen in a long time. In my opinion, this is Davis at her best! Plus, the story is very interesting and has those great "ups and downs". I also give high marks for Christopher Reeve and it is sad to see that this was one of his last pre-accident movies. As with most romantic comedies these days, the characters have to go to bed, but thankfully, it is kept off screen. Rated PG-13 for some language and implied sex.

Semi-cute
Geena Davis is of course cute, but this romantic comedy about speech writers in opposing political camps is fluff and cotton candy, kind of like something from Neil Simon without the bite and with only a quarter of the wit. The candidates and the issues are trivialized and made into clichés. (But that's good.) Must have been written by a speech writer! She's a liberal Democrat and he's an amoral Republican hired gun. It might have been more interesting if they had switched them around. It's all surface and sound bite mentality including the performances by the leads, Geena Davis and Michael Keaton, who together produce enough chemistry to rival cold dishwater. If you're really, really bored and it's a choice between, say, a rerun of "Suddenly Susan" and this, flip a coin. Or better yet, go scrub the kitchen floor. This is the sort of mush that will turn your brain to cottage cheese.

Some observations: Christopher Reeve is sadly miscast: he makes a very soft heavy. Geena can smile and smile and smile and occasionally frown. Big deal. Poor Bonnie Bedelia. They made her look so dowdy, so as not to upstage Davis. It must be frustrating to know that not only are you more talented than the star, you are even better looking; but for an actress in Hollywood, younger always wins out. ... Read more

Another Man on the Moon?
Eddie Murphy plays a bar owner named Pluto Nash who is famous on the Moon. That sounds out-of-this-world! A couple of dirty businessmen want him perished because he has the hottest spot on the Moon! How insane is that? "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" is an insane movie that deals with intergalactic conspiracies and insane androids. Nobody should care about the story; it's a comedy that isn't funny. At least the special effects are noteworthy. Rosario Dawson is in it too, which is a plus. Randy Quaid is Bubba, the android who runs about 5 mph, maximum. John Cleese is an automated driver for a stolen car. Luis Guzman saved the popular Pluto Nash, but has a problem with robots. Jay Mohr plays a singer who wore a quilt and has two wives, one cloned. If you can stand the outrageousness, then you may like this movie. If you want to see a real hero on the Moon, then watch Clint Eastwood rescuing mortals on "Space Cowboys." Too bad this movie made a whopping twenty bucks at the theaters; it's decent enough to see.

The Adventures of Pluto Nash
Pluto Nash could be the worst film I've ever seen in my entire life.This movie is so stupid and ridiculous it's not even funny; kind of like Zoolander.The plot is absolutely horrid trash that must have been written in just one day.The dialogue is painful to listen to.And the actors and actressess in it are at there utter worst and don't even make the film slightly fun.It made me want to pull my eyeballs out.I can't believe I sat through a whole hour and a half of this complete crap! If you went to see this at a theater I am extremely sorry and hope you got all your money back.Ughh it is just so terrible.I know Eddie Murphy signs up for tons of comedies but couldn't he see this was awful.The whole premise of the film is stupid.It thinks it is being funny but it isn't.You just yawn and look at the clock waiting for this crap to end.The special effects and city on the moon are so fake and ridiculous.They didn't even get one thing right in this whole frecking movie.I was suprised when I saw it had gotten a 6.It is also suppose to be an adventure flick but it is nothing like that at all.If you can sit through this at the theater than you can sit through Gigli 50,000,000,000 times.What ever you do don't see this.It is worse then Legally Blonde 2.

Welcome to the Moon 2087. With all the natural resources mined out years ago, the Moon has become the new Wild West. A place where money and the right contacts can get you anything you want and anything goes."The Adventures of Pluto Nash" is an action/adventure comedy set on the moon in the year 2087, starring EDDIE MURPHY as the title character, Pluto Nash, an audacious, successful owner of the hottest nightclub in town. Pluto finds himself in trouble when he refuses to sell his club to Mogan (JOE PANTOLIANO), the lunar gangster that is helping the mysterious Rex Crater mastermind a plan to take over the entire moon.Joining Nash in the danger and lunacy are Dina Lake (ROSARIO DAWSON), a beautiful earthling who has traveled to the moon to further her singing ambitions, and Pluto's bodyguard Bruno (RANDY QUAID) - a robot quickly approaching obsolescence. Rounding out the cast are Rowland (PETER BOYLE), a pool shark and Pluto's confidant; Flura (PAM GRIER), Pluto's mother; and Tony Francis (JAY MOHR), Pluto's friend and an Italian singing sensation.

"A limp Eddie Murphy vehicle that even he seems embarrassed to be part of."

One of the worst movies of all time.
You know a movie is horrific when the company that want's to distribute it dosen't release it for two years.Eddie Murphy stars
in this horridly, painful and excrutiatingly dull comedy.In the year 2084 Eddie murphy is a bar owner who with his partner robot
(Randy Quaid) and newfound employee (Rosario Dawson) try to stop
a gang of thugs and holigans from running him out of business.

That is basically it and a torturious 90 minutes you'll wish
this film be burned and buried or sent to pluto itself.John Cleese has about 10 minutes in the film he was the smart one obviously he got out quick enough by that time he probly wanted
to shoot himself for being in this peice of trash.So many people lined up to this film you could hear the grasshoppers in
the background , on it's opening it made an incredible 2.2 million maybe enough to pay off the catering bill on the set
of this 100 million dollar bomb, in the end it made a pitiful
4.4 million making it the biggest lost in a movie surpassing
even Cutthroat Island loosing 95.6 million dollars and it is
now hands down the biggest movie flop in hollywood history
almost destroying Eddie Murphys carrer luckly he made Daddy
Day Care wich was able to pay the catering bill the only
curse for the company is why this wasn't just a direct to
video release , one of the all time worse films it may not
be as bad as Battlefeild Earth but it's certainly a waste
of film and time.

Not as bad as advertised.
I remember reading reviews about how bad this movie was. I remember reading how the distributing company was hated this movie so much that they shelved it for a year or 2 (depending on where read this at). I also remember reading that Eddie himself hated the movie and didn't want it released.

How much of this you wanna believe, believe this: This is a pretty good movie, especially if you are an Eddie fan.

Eddie plays Pluto Nash. He owns a very popular bar on the Moon. Their is a rumor that gambling is gonna be made legal on the Moon and now someone is trying to buy all of the bars so they turn them into casino's, but Eddie won't sell. His is evetually blown up (they were hoping he would still be inside)leading him on a big hunt to find out who is out to get him.

With an all-star cast, this movie has plenty of verything a movie should have: Action, cool special effects, and some very good comedy moments. All of this leads up to a pretty surprising ending.

Definitely and enjoyable movie.

Fun Popcorn Fluff
There are some movies that are not meant to be great art. They aim to be nothing more than a fun way to pass time and eat popcorn at the same time. The Adventures of Pluto Nash is one of those movies.

Eddie Murphy is great as the intrepid hero Pluto Nash as he fights the sinister space mafia. Originally, Nash was a small businessman who the mafia tries to shake down. However, Nash decides to fight the mafia in what turns out to be one of the most slapsticky sci-fi adventure flicks of all time. Thrills and spills abound in this wild and wacky funfest. Pluto Nash is a well-plotted futuristic sci-fi adventure story with a comedic bent.

It also features a great cast with Rosario Dawson, Pam Grier, John Cleese, Randy Quaid, Peter Boyle and Jay Mohr.

Exceptional piece of history and drama
Beau Bridges won a well deserved Emmy for his portrayal of James Brady, the US presidential Press Secretary who was critically wounded and left disabled for life in the 1981 Ronald Reagan assassination attempt, an attempt in which Reagan himself was also wounded. The film's real success lies with the dramatic and compelling depiction of how Brady and his life attempted to rebuild their lives under the international spotlight, and it highlighted the fact that the National Rifle Association, one of the most powerful pro-gun lobby groups in the world, would rather have us forget - that not everyone deseves to have the privilege of gun ownership. ...

Jodie Fisher in a leading role
I'm not sure anyone who wants to buy this movie is seriously looking for a well written script, but in case you want to know more of the "web of deceit and betrayal" as advertised on the back cover of the video tape, here's the plot. Rachel Taylor, played by Jodie Fisher, is the beautiful and neglected wife of a lawyer whose successful career is getting on a fast track. As Tom Taylor's busy schedule leaves Rachel so bored, she begins a torrid affair with Rick Simms, a boxing-contender-turned-sexy-bartender, while Tom is also having an affair with a buxom blondie named Laura (played by Kristi Scott of the "Bikini Carwash Company" series). Before long, Rachel discovers that Tom hired Rick to seduce her so he could get grounds for a divorce, so she sets out to turn the tables on him...

Although "Intimate Obsession" is viewed by some tough critics as a bottom shelf erotic thriller (obviously due to poor acting and directing), I think the cinematography is pretty good and the curvy Jodie Fisher deserves some credit as a real eye candy. Anyway, she would go on with her career, and apart from some minor roles opposite Lisa Boyle and Shannon Tweed, she does get another leading role in "Body of Influence 2" a few years later. Good for her. ... Read more
