Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Timothy Bateson, Helena Bonham Carter

Warner Home Video, 2007

My favorite movie of the series
People might say that they ripped to book since they left out a whole lot. But I loved what they put it, especially the ending. The ending made the movie.

Sense & Sensibility (Special Edition)

James Fleet, Tom Wilkinson

Sony Pictures, 1999

Sense & Sensibility
Lovely movie that has adapted the novel to perfection. The characters are portrayed in such a way that you can't help but feel that you are there amongst them. One of the movies that you could watch time and again - comparing it to the actual novel has been a real ...

Nanny McPhee (Widescreen Edition)

Emma Thompson, Colin Firth

Universal Studios, 2006

Nanny McPhee
I bought this movie because it was on the TV. I enjoyed it with Nanny McPhee teaching the kids some manners. Nanny McPhee stands for no foolhardiness and doesn't let the children away with any nonscense. She even tells the cook to make them soup which looks rotten and ...

Much Ado About Nothing

Chris Barnes, Kate Beckinsale

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Great!
Wonderful movie! Now to find the Flying Karamazov Brothers' rendition of the Merchant of Venice.

Angels in America

Al Pacino, Meryl Streep

HBO Home Video, 2004

What More Can I Say?
This is a very artistic, moving, funny, sad and whimsical adaptation of the play that will be a welcome addition to your DVD collection. Now just waiting for it to come out in Blu-Ray!

Love Actually (Widescreen Edition)

Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson

Universal Studios, 2004

This movie is love...
There is a lot going on in `Love Actually'; a whole lot. That is a good thing, for that means that there is more to love, and love I do, for `Love Actually' is kind of like the ultimate romantic comedy. The film revolves around eight couples (not always in the most ...

Persuasion

Amanda Root, Ciarán Hinds

Sony Pictures, 2000

One of Austen's best
Persuasion is my second favorite Austen book and movie. The story is wonderful, and this production is subtle and perfectly paced - just like the book. The choice of actors is perfect - just as I imagined when reading the book for the first time.

The Remains of the Day (Special Edition)

Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson

Sony Pictures, 2001

Don't buy this for the movie alone.
But buy it for the commentary provided by Emma Thompson, Ismail Merchant and James Ivory! First, the movie is a wonderful period piece set in pre-WWII England at the manor of an English Lord with his staid and emotionally distant butler and the recently hired young ...

Stranger Than Fiction

Will Ferrell, Queen Latifah

Sony Pictures, 2007

Same basic story, clever new revision
Okay, I'm a sucker for the classic story of someone-finding-out-they-are-about-to-die-and-review-their-life-for-the-good. It's been done many a time, but I guess every once in a while there is a new way to look at this tried-and-true concept. This odd little gem is one ...

The Romantic Favorites Collection (Bridget Jones - The Edge of Reason / About a Boy / Love Actually / Notting ...

Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts

Universal Studios, 2007

Romantic Favorites Collection - Hugh Grant is wonderful!!
i bought this collection for my daughters who are away at college. I packed it along with some packets of microwave popcorn & sent it to them as a surprise care package from Mom. They absolutely loved it. Hugh Grant is so charming in all 4 films, even when he's ...

Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane

Warner Home Video, 2007

My favorite movie of the series
People might say that they ripped to book since they left out a whole lot. But I loved what they put it, especially the ending. The ending made the movie.

Primary Colors

John Travolta, Emma Thompson

Universal Studios, 1998

Smashing movie!
This was a great movie; I bought it as a gift for someone who wanted to see John Travolta doing President Clinton & my friend enjoyed it too.

Treasure Planet

Roscoe Lee Browne, Corey Burton

Walt Disney Video, 2003

Wonderful film, should do theatrical re-release in 3D
I am probably one of the few who did see "Treasure Planet" in the theater. I found it thoroughly enjoyable. I think part of the problem with the poor showing at theaters, was that the movie, overall, was geared more towards teen males and adults (those who usually do ...

In the Name of the Father

Alison Crosbie, Philip King (IV)

Universal Studios, 1998

Wrong Place At The Wrong Time
A remarkable film based on the true story of Gerry Conlan, In The Name Of The Father has one of the most gripping opening 20 minutes of any movie I have ever seen. The entire film is incredibly well written and superbly acted. Essentially a tale of the miscarriage of ...
