Polly Walker (II)

Emma (1996)

Gwyneth Paltrow, James Cosmo

Miramax, 1999

Very good movie
I'd like to say first that I am not an Austen fan. I generally don't like the movies made about her books, nor do I like her books. However, this movie was cute. I would assume that is because it doesn't catch the essence of Austen's works like some people say it ...

Poirot - The Movie Collection, Set 1 (The ABC Murders / Death in the Clouds / The Mysterious Affair at Styles ...

David Suchet, Hugh Fraser

Acorn Media, 2001

Best Poirot Box Set
I just love it. Agatha Christie was purely a genius. You can never guess who the murdurer is. It seems impossible at first, but all the clues just make sense after Poirot leads us through the whole thing.

Dinner Rush

Danny Aiello, John Rothman

New Line Home Video, 2003

A suprising gem
This is a great movie about one night in a New York bistro.Having read Anthony Bourdains KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL I imagine the action about the kitchen and dining room were true to life. Add some gangters to the mix and you get some great action, drama and dialogue. I got ...

Talk of Angels

Polly Walker (II), Vincent Perez

Miramax, 2004

A Thoughtful Film about Revolutions - Political and Personal
TALK OF ANGELS is a beautifully photographed, well written, and sensitively acted story about how political upheavals alter our interpersonal relationships. The time is 1936 and the place is Spain in the throws of Fascism and Franco. A wealthy family (Marisa Paredes ...

Robinson Crusoe

Pierce Brosnan, William Takaku

Miramax, 2002

Pierce and Cruseo
What a lovely combination.An old story played by a great actor. I am sure that you will all enjoy.It is a story as olf as time itself.

Patriot Games (Special Collector's Edition)

Harrison Ford, Anne Archer

Paramount, 2003

Special Collector's Edition--Excellent anamorphic widescreen transfer to DVD
Paramount's 'Special Collector's Edition' (part of their "Widescreen Collection") is the edition to purchase--whether you already own the previous letterbox release or not. This version looks and sounds fantastic! Presented in anamorphic widescreen (enhanced for 16 x ...

Restoration

Robert Downey Jr., Sam Neill

Miramax, 1999

Interesting Movie
Restoration, was an excellent movie, great cast, one I look forward to viewing again & again. Great DVD to add to my historical library collection.

Dark Harbor

Alan Rickman, Polly Walker (II)

Live / Artisan, 2000

My favorite Alan Rickman film
First, what a fantastic story line/plot. Everyone needs to watch it more than once. Once you have seen the surprise ending, you need to watch again and see all the clues. Alan Rickman at his stunningly best.

For Roseanna

Jean Reno, Mercedes Ruehl

New Line Home Video, 2005

Great Love Story
This is a little known movie, but definately worth watching. Romance, mystery and much comedy. Watch it you will love it.

The Mayor of Casterbridge

Ciarán Hinds, Juliet Aubrey

A&E Home Video, 2003

Best I've seen
I've only recently started watching all the British mini-series I've missed over the years. The best one I've seen (and we see quite a few!)-- the best MOVIE I've ever seen-- is The Mayor of Casterbridge. Ciaran Hinds IS Michael Henchard. He's absolutely amazing ...

Eye of the Killer

Kiefer Sutherland, Henry Czerny

Lions Gate, 2000

GO ASK ALICE
EYE OF THE KILLER is one of those unexpected surprises you get when you see a movie on DVD you haven't heard of before. Kiefer Sutherland plays a cop who is heavy on booze and genuinely disinterested in his life. His ex-wife is sleeping with his boss, and he's become ...

A Dangerous Man

Ralph Fiennes, Alexander Siddig

Bfs Entertainment, 2004

A Fantastic Sequel to LoA.........!!
Although quite a rare film to get a hold of now & out of print, this is one of Ralph Fiennes early successes on the big screen. Although playing our GREAT hero Lawrence completely differently to Peter O'Toole, I think Ralph does a wonderful job of portraying Lawrence's ...

Eye See You (aka D-Tox)

Sylvester Stallone, Charles S. Dutton

Sony Pictures, 2002

Great movie!
I decided to rent it from blockbuster after seeing mixed reviews on amazon about it. This movie is certainly a diamond in a rough Stallone gem. This movie was very well done with alot of well known actors cast. It is considered action, but is more like a suspense ...

Control

Ray Liotta, Willem Dafoe

Sony Pictures, 2005

Great movie
This movie probably isn't worth 5 stars but for an unheard of movie I only picked up for Ray Liotta and Willem Dafoe, that ended up being pretty good, now that's rare. I mean, how often do you pick up a movie that you've NEVER HEARD OF, with an unheard of director and ...

Curtain Call

James Spader, Polly Walker (II)

Image Entertainment, 2000

Curtain Calls
James Spader in a refreshing light-hearted comedy?? Without nudity and lots of sex?? Is it any good?? YES!! I was overly pleased with Spader's antics. I had no idea he was good with anything physical above the eyebrows (graymatter). And these supporting actors are ...
