Universal Studios, 2004

A disservice to Sylvia
I'd have given this movie 3 stars if it weren't for the brilliant performances of its cast. Despite an unforgettable portrayal from Gwyneth Paltrow of a haunted, tormented soul in a performance that is almost disturbing, the film glossed over Sylvia Plath's ...

The Impressionists

Charlie Condou, Amanda Root

Koch Vision, 2006

As breathtaking as their paintings
What an absolute joy! I've read a great deal about the Impressionist movement but the artists never came alive for me they way they did in this film. Everything -- the acting, the cinematography, the music, the editing -- combined for one of the most beautiful, ...

WGBH BOSTON, 2004

A Thriving Partnership...
In Set 2, "The Inspector Lynley Mysteries" really hit their stride with four hard-hitting, emotionally-charged mysteries for the odd crimefighting duo of aristocratic Inspector Thomas Lynley and working class Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers. In "Playing for the ...

The Heart of Me

Sundance Channel Home Entertainment, 2004

If you liked this one...
If you enjoyed Heart of Me as I did, I would also suggest the movie "Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights" (with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche) and "Till Human Voices Wake Us" (also with Helena Bonham Carter and Guy Pearce). Wuthering Heights is chilling and the ...

Nicholas Nickleby

Stella Gonet, Andrew Havill

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Almost perfect Nicholas Nickleby
This came as a bit of a surprise, suffice it to say, due to the photo used on the cover. I expected less but was so pleasantly surprised! I read Nicholas Nickleby years ago and have no plans to read it in the near future. That said, I had forgotten much of the ...
