The Little Vampire [2000] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

Amazon.co.uk Review

Fresh from Stuart Little, young Jonathan Lipnicki carries on his pint-sized shoulders his every scene in The Little Vampire as eight-year-old Tony, befriender of vampires. The Scottish setting lends itself nicely to spookiness, too. A continent away from his native California, Tony's having a tough time making new friends when a band of vagabond vampires enters his life through his bedroom window. The encounter seems pure coincidence at first, but then the scary truth surfaces: Tony, though he's not a vampire himself, has "sympathy for our kind", as the dad of the bat-linked brood puts it. Visions of vampire happenings from generations past invade the kid's consciousness, and they hold the key to the clan's current gypsy-like predicament. Through his clairvoyance and, by extension, the discovery of a long-lost amulet, the mostly benevolent bloodsuckers are able to reclaim their rightful status as proper cave-dwellers in their homeland. Clueless-parent predicaments abound--Tony's mum and dad smirk at their son's vampire-obsessed imagination until the cape-draped heads of the clan drop by for a visit--and viewers of around Tony's age will find the gang's adventures eluding a bumbling vampire hunter genuinely chuckle worthy. --Tammy La Gorce

Little nippers stick neck out........2006-05-30

This is in the same vein as after school specials. Once a gain the individual puny brat knows more than his parents and peers. However it was well done and not fly by night. You can tell this is a vampire movie because Anna Popplewell as Anna Sackvill-Bagg is always vamping Jonathan Lipnicki.

The cows make the movie as they mostly hang around in the barn and at a static point deposit nitrogenous waste on the windscreen of the bad guy's vehicle; then they snicker at the prospects.

To distract those older nippers watching this film there is Alice Krige. You can feel the electricity as she controls them and mesmerizes the viewer.

Lots of action with unexpected ending.

Fantastic for the kids .... And adults too.......2005-04-07

I rented this film twice for the kids. They watched it so many times that I bought it for them. They just keep watching it over and over again. If anyone is doing this as a play then let me know as I know all the parts word perfect. If you want to retain control of your TV then don't but it otherwise enjoy!

brilliant!!!!.......2002-04-14

a friend introduced this film to me and i must say i was a little dubious at first as i'm normally into Cannibal Holocaust and Exorcist horror type films, not childrens films. however i am addicted to it now, it has to be the best film i've seen in years. it has everything for all the family, even cynical teenagers like myself! the vampire costumes are fantastic, from the little girl's gothic medieval dress to the older brother's punky costume. the plot, although pretty predictabe, is nonetheless great. and the vampire cows simply rock.
this is one of those films that will never grow old and is suitable for everyone, it's great.

Shito-Ryu Pinan Kata.......2006-04-25

As a relative newcommer to Karate, I found Terry Pottage's explanation of the Pinan Katas extreamly helpful.

He demonstates each Kata at speed (very forceful) then slowly. Then, with the aid of his assistant, he shows the main applications of the Kata. This gives you a good handle on why a block or punch or kick is made and allows you to visualise attackers. Each Kata demonstration is completed at slow then normal speed once again.

I found this DVD an ideal tool to support what I'd learnt in my lessons.

Terry Pottage comes over very well, not too polished and very genuine, you can tell he loves his sport. I enjoyed the section at the end of the DVD about Terry's karate career.
