The man in the iron mask movie
I saw this movie on T.V. I have watched it numerous times.I liked it so much I ordered it. Now I can watch it any time I want. It is a fantastic, interesting movie

Stealing Beauty

Carlo Cecchi, Sinéad Cusack

20th Century Fox, 2002

Good film.
Bernardo Bertolucci has given us another beautiful film. This one is set in the Italian countryside where a girl, coming of age, takes us through her confusions of love, sex, and people overall. With an amazing cast that is anchored by the always great Jeremy Irons, ...

The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition)

Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick

Walt Disney Video, 2003

One of the few Disney films I can tolerate.
I haven't made my distaste of past Disney films a big secret. I'm sorry, I just can't stand the singing every five seconds. That's probably why I go for the Pixar films. The Lion King is a tad different, for some reason the songs just don't grate on my nerves as ...

Eragon (Widescreen Edition)

Ed Speleers, Sienna Guillory

Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation, 2007

Another sword, dragon and sorcery adventure
The young boy comes of age while learning to fly his own dragon. Sometimes foolish and sometimes over brave, he helps the resistance defeat the kings army. He just barely saves both his girl and his dragon... He is a healthy, handsome blond kid and the king and his ...

The Mission (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons

Warner Home Video, 2003

The reviewer's got it wrong!
Tom Keogh's editorial review got it wrong. This is a magnificent movie. The background is historically accurate. The music, much of which was written by South American composers during the 17th century, is flawlessly performed. The story is gripping, and one comes ...

David Lynch's Inland Empire (Limited Edition Two-Disc Set)

Laura Dern, Jeremy Irons

Absurda / Rhino, 2007

Delicious
The thing I don't understand about most people is that they say the films of David Lynch are impossible to understand. If you watch and pay attention, not everything is going to necessarily make perfect sense, but you're going to get the jist of what he's trying to ...

Brideshead Revisited (25th Anniversary Collector's Edition)

Jeremy Irons, Anthony Andrews

Acorn Media, 2006

Waugh Time
A Spring Jeremy Irons, a Winter Sir Laurence, a devilish Sir John Geilgud, etc....great casting for a great book from an English author who should never need a "re-discovery". Every era should have such an adept chronicler....(and he chronicled several)....Evelyn ...

Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]

Orlando Bloom, Eva Green

20th Century Fox, 2006

Great Scott !
This has to be one of my top movies. Yes the theatrical cut was a mess, but Ridley saw it coming. The beginning is great in that Mr. Scott comes up front and explains in short what we are about to see and why the story is what is was supposed to be. The characters are ...

Elizabeth I

Helen Mirren, Jeremy Irons

Hbo Home Video, 2006

"Elizabeth I"
Excellent, absolutely excellent. Helen Mirren's portrait of Elizabeth Tudor from age 43 to her death at 69 is as deep and nuanced a performance as I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few actresses do Good Queen Bess (Glenda Jackson, Judi Dench, Bette Davis, et. al). ...

William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice

Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons

Sony Pictures, 2005

The Tragedy of Shylock: The Jew of Venice
It is absurd to use the relatively modern term "anti-Semitism "as a worrisome point either in this movie or in the original late sixteenth century play. It is neither the first nor the only time that a stereotype aging male Jew has been used as an almost ...

Reversal of Fortune

Glenn Close, Jeremy Irons

Warner Home Video, 2001

Sure Cure For Claus-Trophobia
There is a scene in Reversal Of Fortune where Claus von Bulow, surrounded by a gaggle of well-scrubbed Harvard law students assisting with the case, starts reciting a few of the Claus von Bulow jokes that have cropped up during the trial. "What do you call the fear of ...

Dungeons & Dragons (New Line Platinum Series)

Lee Arenberg, Tom Baker

New Line Home Video, 2001

IRONS & DUNGEONS & DRAGONS -- Oh my!!!
Once upon a time in a land not so far away, a callow youth named Courtney Solomon had a dream. So he saved his pennies and at the tender age of 20, secured the film rights to DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, and thence pursued his Holy Grail: a big-screen version of the much-loved ...

Damage

Jeremy Irons, Juliette Binoche

New Line Home Video, 1998

Emotionally captivating with brilliant performances by Irons, Binoche and Richardson
[BEWARE SPOILERS] I don't know whether I've ever watched a film in which I identified more with all the characters than I did in this emotionally wrenching masterwork from the late, great Louis Malle. It is part of the genius of Malle to, like Shakespeare, make ...

Rufus! Does Judy Live at the London Palladium

Rufus Wainwright, Jeremy Irons

Geffen Records, 2007

Rufus Does Judy Good
This is quite an amazing endeavor on a couple of levels. I wasn't a Rufus fan at first and, honestly, found his voice "whiny" and irritating. But, here you have Judy Garland's arrangements - the ones EVERYBODY knows by heart - perfectly reconstructed AND THEN lowered a ...

Die Hard with a Vengeance

Bruce Willis, Jeremy Irons

20th Century Fox, 2007

The second best sequel in the series
After the so so Die Hard,2O Century Fox brought back the director of the first for the thrid go around. It was a wise choice because it's the second best sequel in the series. Die Hard: With a Vengeance is my thrid favorite in the series because of the presence of ...
