Aladdin (2000)
Brilliant, a great pantomime and a great cast.
I really enjoyed this pantomime. I thought all the actors were brilliant. Of all the ITV pantomimes shown I think this one is the best. I had it on video for a while a couple of years ago but my mum taped over it. It was on again this Christmas though and I thought it was great again.
I also thought that the singing was really good, it's quite hard to find people who can sing AND act these days. All the actors stayed in character well. The only thing I missed was the part where the children come on stage, unlike normal pantomimes this doesn't happen.
The writer has done extremely well to keep the traditional storyline but make it all funny. Watch out for a very funny scene between Paul Merton and Julian Clary. Anyway, all in all one of the best pantomimes I've seen (except Snow White at Woking this year and Cindarella at Woking a few years ago).
Birth (2004)
Very original
Great storyline. Really thought provoking. Definitely not a film where you can say - i saw a movie with the same storyline the other day. PS. In response to what another user has commented - yes it is an original as i've said but implying Lord of the Rings isn't an original is wrong - that is in a class of its own and the best movie ever as far as i'm concerned. No-one could ever have written as fresh a storyline as Tolkien did. Maybe there have been loads of films with that sort of storyline but Tokien came up with it and LOTR the film should be counted as the original film with that storyline, it has been overdone now but the original LOTR is just amazing!!!!!!
