The Weight of Water
Ciarán Hinds, Richard Donat
Lions Gate, 2003
The Book is Better - I agree with another reviewer
This film has a talented cast but the beauty of this story within a story is that it is a prequel to Anita Shreve's The Last Time They Met. The story has potential that just doesn't translate well into film. Partly because Shreve is a master storyteller whose prose is ...

The Bible Collection
Elizabeth Hurley, Michael Gambon
Turner Home Ent, 2005
Scripture based movie collection stays close to the scripture account
I teach the Old Testament to a group of high school students every morning at 6:30 am. I used these movies to give them a visual idea of what it might be like to have lived in those days. This series stays very close to the actual scriptural accounts, e.g., Aaron ...

Passenger 57
Wesley Snipes, Bruce Payne
Warner Home Video, 1998
always bet on black
"Passenger 57" has to be my very favorite Wesley Snipes movie and one of my very favorite action movies ever! I have been a huge fan of this movie ever since I first saw the trailer for it when I went to see Under Siege (another awesome movie.) At the ...

Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me (New Line Platinum Series)
Mike Myers, Heather Graham
New Line Home Entertainment, 2004
I know it's a silly movie, but I loved it
Having not been that thrilled with the first Austin Powers movie, I was completely surprised that I giggled all the way through this one.
Maybe it was because the female lead is Austin's equal in the free love game. Maybe just because I have loved Micheal York ...

Samson and Delilah (The Bible Collection)
Elizabeth Hurley, Michael Gambon
Turner Home Ent, 2005
Better than Average Biblical Drama
TNT produced a wonderful series of Old Testament dramas. All are good but some are better than others. This one falls somewhere in the middle.
Samson is a child gifted with superhuman strength. He is an Israelite and his people are under the thumb of the ...

20th Century Fox, 2003
So funny!!!!
When I watched this movie for the first time, I was convinced that it was one of the best laugh-out-loud movies in the movie aisle!!!! Elizabeth Hurley is the perfect Devil, and Brendan her perfect naive victim! With all of the funny scenes and the sexual innuendo, at ...

Sharpe's Enemy
Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley
Bfs Entertainment, 2000
these movies are better if you don't read the book
I have read the Sharpe series up until Sharpe's Company, the book before this and have seen three other movies. It is by far advisable to not read the book before you see the movies. Nothing will be spoiled since there is very little taken from the books.

Permanent Midnight

Interesting, slow, depressing
Based on the autobiography of Jerry Stahl who is playhed by a very subdued Ben Stiller(no humour here). The cast is rounded off by owen Wilson and Genine Gerafalo as well as Elizabeth Hurley. It is essentially a movie about a writer who goes from small town nobody to ...

GREAT MOVIE
I just finished watching this movie, and I thought it was great. Good plot and characters, with a satisfying ending. The short and simple facts for this movie are, as long as you are not a person who needs constant action in a movie, you'll find it entertaining and ...
