A Doll's House

Claire Bloom, Anthony Hopkins

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

A Doll's House, Seriously
This 1970s production of Ibsen's classic play is well worth the viewing -- it's a solid and believable -- if unsensational -- reading of one of the most famous plays in literature -- and one of the key documents in feminism. The total lack of gimmickry and straight ...

Affinity

Anna Madeley, Zoe Tapper

MTV, 2008

Interesting story!
Interesting story! As expected, it is beautifully filmed, the dialogue is convincing and the actresses are wonderfull - like other Sarah Waters stories. The actresses do a wonderful job in displaying love for one another, despite the lack of love scenes between them. I ...

Impromptu

Judy Davis, Hugh Grant

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

Delightful
I somehow missed this one until now. What a gem! With such great acting, outrageously funny plot and exquisite music, no matter that it's only remotely historical. And with all its silliness, it also has some interesting character revelations. I've been collecting ...

A Little Romance

Laurence Olivier, Diane Lane

Warner Home Video, 2003

A jewel of romance, don't miss it!!!
A Little Romance is an enchanting film, where we found one of our favorite actresses, Diane Lane, on her debut at the tender age of 14. The movie is a romance, the first love of a highly intelligent and precocious young woman, daughter of a woman that changes ...

Westlake, 2006

Such a "Gift" for a world lacking in true focus!
Joan Plowright held me spellbound from start to finish. The cast is magically interwoven in such way that all become family and create the very best outcome for a story that is alive within society each day, yet seems to be unseen and not acknowledged. Our elders are ...

Possession

Gwyneth Paltrow, Aaron Eckhart

Universal Studios, 2003

Undiscovered gem
A Film I first saw in a little independent cinema in the Somerset city of Bath, expecting nothing, but finding my heart bursting from its seams as the film unfolded. A young American apprentice (Aaron Eckhart) finds himself amongst the snobbery of English literature ...

Great performances!
Before watching this movie, I loved Colin Firth... after this movie I absolutely ADORE Colin! The exact same thing happens with Rupert Everett. Really really funny! a must-see for all ages. Clever plot. I'm dying to find the soundtrack.... if anyone knows where please ...

The Machinist

Christian Bale, Jennifer Jason Leigh

Paramount, 2005

I'm going out on a limb here...
Christian Bale is the new Marlon Brando. That's my take. I'd seen every one of his films before this (except for the latest Batman) and thought I had witnessed his best performances but no - this is his greatest. I am a complete and total CB fan. I hate movies like ...

Peeping Tom - Criterion Collection

Maxine Audley, John Barrard

Criterion, 1999

Frank and Uncomfortable masterpiece in psychological thriller's history.
Voyeurism, violence, perversion, and dark forbidden sexual desire. Michael Powell's most controversial, important and artistic achievement, also destroyed his carrer after the ferocious and merciless critics for this at-the-time outrageous, unbeliavable and shocking ...

Angels & Insects

Mark Rylance, Kristin Scott Thomas

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

Angels and Insects
My husband and I watched Angels and Insects when it first hit the movie theaters and thought it was an excellent movie. We wanted to see it again and bought the DVD. We have not changed our view of the movie. Two thumbs up, it was worth watching again.

Frenzy

Jon Finch, Barry Foster

Universal Studios, 2006

Unique Morbidity and Neckties
From the opening shot and Ron Goodwin's very British score, 1972's FRENZY is a thriller that harkens back to the type of films he was directing in the 40's that combine his unique morbidity with incongruous humor and the element of the wrong man being accused of ...

He Knew He Was Right

Oliver Dimsdale, Laura Fraser (II)

BBC Warner, 2005

A Good Film
This movie has a good plot---The one or two sex scenes are very tame. I'd rate them with a G rating.The lead gentleman thught he was right about his wife's infidelity and lost everything.Good English acting. Shows English women as we have read them to be. 19th ...
