Sony Pictures, 2008
A Riveting Movie!
A friend suggested this movie to me. I waited with bated breath as the movie began. What a wonderful movie. The scenery was gorgeous. The director did a great job of showing how the British and the people of India were divided not only by their culture, but by their ...

Winston Churchill: The Wilderness Years 1929 - 1939
Robert Hardy, Siān Phillips
KOCH VISION, 2005
Great Biography of a great man
This is a DVD version of an older PBS biography. I wore out my VHS version years ago. If you love Churchill you will enjoy this professional biography of him.

Empire of the Sun
Hiro Arai, Christian Bale
Warner Home Video, 2001
HARD TO FIND STUFF
I've been looking for this movie and its beautiful music for a long time and finally found it. I guess I just didn't look in the right places. I am now much wiser.

Chariots of Fire (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Nicholas Farrell, Nigel Havers
Warner Home Video, 2005
My favorite movie
I first saw this movie at 18 and it has remained my favorite. The themes and messages are timeless - about having integrity and beliefs - and about "running" for all of the right reasons.

Farewell to the King
Nigel Havers, Frank McRae
MGM (Video & DVD), 2006
Farewell to the King
This is a great movie that was recommended to me by a friend. Nick Nolte plays a convincing part in this gripping story about a man who finds home in the jungles during WWII. Two thumbs up!

Penelope
Christina Ricci, James McAvoy
Summit Entertainment, 2008
Perfect Penelope
Normally, when a movie is touted as being "family-friendly" it's a codeword for "incredibly boring." Penelope, conversely, is both family-friendly and entertaining. It's even extremely charming to boot. Normally, a movie feels strained or too simple when it strives to ...

Sleepers
Nigel Havers, Warren Clarke
Acorn Media, 2007
To be or Not to be...a Secret Agent Man.
Like the earlier reviewer, I have waited a long time for this terrific BBC miniseries to come to DVD. It's a very interesting story of two men who were placed by the KGB in Britain as (possible) spies. Their instructions: Melt into the English population as if they ...

Strangers & Brothers
Anthony Hopkins, Shaughan Seymour
Goldhil Home Media, 2001
So disappointed
If you have not read at least 9 of the 11 books in C. P. Snow's series, "Strangers and Brothers", this DVD will not give you anything like that story. It totally leaves out two whole novels, and does not even remotely end where Snow ended Eliot's narration. "The New ...

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
Geoffrey Rush, Charlize Theron
Hbo Home Video, 2005
Geoffrey Rush's name alone is enough of a recommendation.
Intelligent, imaginitive, gripping and bend-you-over double laughing effort by HBO Films. Geoffrey Rush proves why he is a master craftsman, playing yet another mad genius...the brilliant comic and despicable human being that was Peter Sellers. From BBC Radio days ...

The Charmer
Nigel Havers, Bernard Hepton
Goldhill Home Media, 2003
A charming black comedy with a charming cad. Fine performances by Nigel Havers, Bernard Hepton and Rosemary Leach
"Not too tight, old boy," says Ralph Gorse at the end of The Charmer. We've spent nearly 312 minutes leading up to this point. They are 312 well spent minutes.
Gorse (Nigel Havers) is a charming English con man in the early Thirties. He lives by his amoral wits, ...

The Whistle Blower
Michael Caine, James Fox
MGM (Video & DVD), 2002
who is the enemy ?
Based on a novel by John Hale, this 1987 film is a cold war spy story with more twists and angles than can be absorbed in a single viewing. The boundaries between right and wrong are blurred, in this complex plot where co-workers in the secret service are asked to spy ...

Hold the Dream
Jenny Seagrove, Stephen Collins
Acorn Media, 2002
The Great Saga Continues - Hold the Dream
As with "A Woman of Substance" this movie carries on with Emma Harte's granddaughter Paula who is charged to hold Emma's dream. True to her previous movie this story stuck very close to the book. I love this story and I can't wait to watch the third one "To Be The ...
