Samuel's Snippets

Mr Popper’s Penguins

burghy6 — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:15:45 +0000

Director: Mark Waters

Cast: Angela Lansbury, Carla Gugino, Jim Carrey

Genre: Comedy

Rating: PG

This is a high energy, kid friendly film showing how families should work together. There are lots of slapstick routines with Jim Carrey and the penguins, which leave you giggling your head off.

This film was made as close to the original book as possible which was written by Florence and Richard Atwater.

This would suit any age as it is well worth the watch and it is possibly out on DVD to buy.

I have viewed the trailer for this movie, which is totally awesome and well worth going too watch because it is in 3D.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

In my opinion the Xbox 360 Elite is an awesome machine because the graphics are spectacular. The Xbox Live connection is absolutely brilliant if the other players have the same high spec microphones and connected to a good broadband server.

This model is chunkier than its newer and slimmer version but I have never had a problem with it.

This reasonably priced kit comes with all the equipment you are going to need.

Definitely worth investing in for all you gamers out there.
