Colin Farrell, Salma Hayek

Paramount, 2006

UK DVD BETTER ASPECT RATIO
For those of you who can play REGION 2 50hz PAL DVD issues I strongly urge you to go to Amazon UK and get the UK DVD issue. This movie was shot spherical that means full frame. In the USA there is a very stupid policy of insisting on presenting spherical films in ...

The Dresser

Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay

Sony Pictures, 2004

The Dresser
Acting at its finest! When Al Pacino was asked about an actor's life his advice was 'see The Dresser'. So my advice to all is 'see The Dresser - you won't be disappointed'.

Bertie and Elizabeth: The Reluctant Royals - The Story of King George VI & Queen Elizabeth

James Wilby, Juliet Aubrey

WGBH BOSTON, 2005

Excellent Historical Drama
I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in English history and monarchy.

Let Him Have It

Christopher Eccleston, Tom Courtenay

Image Entertainment, 2005

A Magnificent Achievement!!!
I won't bother telling the plot of this film since so many other reviewers have outlined it in great detail. I will only say there is no greater cinematic indictment of the death penalty than this devastating film. What gives it special significance, of course, is ...

Scenes of a Sexual Nature

Holly Aird, Eileen Atkins

VELOCITY / THINKFILM, 2008

'Scenes of a Sexual Nature': not a disclaimer but a joy
The British have done it again - successfully shown how talent, ensemble attitude, prudent production values, and esprit de corps can result in a first class thoughtful comedy of life. A first outing for writer Aschlin Ditta and director Ed Blum, this entertaining, ...

The Lost Language of Cranes

Brian Cox, Eileen Atkins

BBC Warner, 2007

Reality strikes!
This movie is well done and a joy to watch. Sad in its story line, but real as life can be. I know lots of "straight" men who just can't come to grips with their "real" identity. Some skulk around in the shadows seeking release without recognition in one night ...

The Avengers

Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman

Warner Home Video, 1998

I'm Not Afraid To Say I Loved It!
Yes, it looks like it was edited with a chainsaw (blame the studio). Yes, Ralph Fiennes looks like he'd rather be elsewhere. And yes, the teddy bear suits look ridiculous. Guess what? I still love it! This, my friends, is what I call a guilty pleasure. Does it always ...

Ballet Shoes

Emma Watson, Eileen Atkins

Koch Vision, 2008

superb family viewing....
BALLET SHOES (starring Emma Watson... celebrated for her lead roles in the Harry Potter films...along with an all-star acclaimed ensemble cast) is absolutely wonderful. I personally am in love it. Targeting a very large and underserved audience which is best defined as ...

Wit

Emma Thompson, Christopher Lloyd

Hbo Home Video, 2001

Amazingly moving movie
I applaud Emma Thompson for her breathtaking role in this moving portrait of a terminal cancer patient. Amazing. I cried at the scene where her old mentor read the children's story to her. Wit is what movies are supposed to be.

Cranford

Francesca Annis, Eileen Atkins

BBC Warner, 2008

Cranford is Excellent Television
I just finished watching the BBC's Cranford miniseries and it was wonderful. The series is set in a small town in 1840s England. Cranford is a town full of unmarried women (very common at the time with all of the men who had died in the Napoleonic wars and those who ...

What a Girl Wants (Widescreen Edition)

Amanda Bynes, Colin Firth

Warner Home Video, 2003

excellent
the full screen edition is so much better than the edition you can buy in aust.

Equus

Richard Burton, Peter Firth

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

A WORK OF ART
EQUUS is one of those plays you never forget after you see it. Although the theatrical version is matchless, this film adaptation succeeds in bringing into the widescreen the painful drama of these two characters who represent - in many aspects - the torments of modern ...
