Her latest challenge is the bratty brood of a recent widower Mr. Brown (Colin Firth), who's under pressure to find a new wife or lose his much-needed allowance from wealthy Aunt Adelaide (a tailor-made role for Angela Lansbury). His love for scullery maid Evangeline (Kelly Macdonald) remains unspoken as he wincingly woos the eagerly merry widow Mrs. Quickly (Celia Imrie), but Brown's raucous rugrats have a plan to make things right, especially after they've come under the benevolent influence of Nanny McPhee, whose peculiar brand of discipline works wonders for everyone involved.

Both quintessentially British and universally appealing, this wildly colourful comedy (thanks to a bold ...

*** A REVIEW FOR THE BLU RAY ***

As I suspected,"Nanny McPhee" is a delight on BLU RAY with a vastly improved picture quality that is quite beautiful at times.

The bonus features are generous too:
1. Casting The Children
2. Village Life
3. Nanny McPhee makeover
4. Deleted Scenes
5. Gag Reel
6. How Nanny McPhee Came To Be
7. Feature commentary by the Director Kirk Jones and Children

Because it's set at 2:35 aspect, when I used the Zoom feature on my Sony, it did stretch the picture a tad, but it still looked great.
Language subtitles include English (Hard Of Hearing), French, Canadian French, German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Norwegian, Portuguese, Greek, Cantonese and Traditional Mandarin.

And at under a tenner online, it's reasonably priced too.

To sum up - as a replacement for your old DVD - or as a new purchase for the kids and adults alike - this Blu Ray reissue is recommended.

A rather lovely little movie really...

McGregor, Lee Miller and Ewen Bremner play a slouching trio of Scottish junkies, Carlyle their narcotic-eschewing but hard-drinking and generally psychotic mate Begbie. In Boyle's hands, their lives unfold in a rush of euphoric highs, blow-out overdoses and agonising withdrawals (all cued to a vogueish pop soundtrack). Throughout it all, John Hodge's screenplay strikes a delicate balance between acknowledging the inherent pleasures of drug use and spotlighting its eventual consequences. In Trainspotting's world view, it all comes down to a choice between the dangerous Day-Glo highs of the addict and the grey, grinding consumerism of the everyday Joe. "Choose life", quips the film's narrator (McGregor) in a monologue that was to become a mantra. "Choose a job, choose a starter home... But why would anyone...
