Meera Syal, Linda Henry

Sony Pictures, 1998

Charming Coming of Age Story
This 1996 entry from the ever-inventive Channel Four Films, puts most (if not all) gay coming-of-age movies to shame. This charmer is the story of Jamie (Glenn Berry) and Steve (Scott Neal), two teens who are not exactly friends; not exactly enemies. Their bond is more ...

Sharpe's Collection Set 4 (1997) ~ Sharpe's Revenge, Sharpe's Justice & Sharpe's Waterloo

Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley

Bfs Entertainment, 1998

The climax to a fine series
The last three Sharpe movies (unless they take a young Sharpe to India or an old Sharpe to his final adventure in South America.) are a fitting close to the series. A lot of loose threads are cleaned up as our characters driven together by Napoleon are finally ...

Garden of Redemption

Anthony LaPaglia, Marta Amaro

Paramount, 1998

Emotional acting, strong story
Anthony LaPaglia plays a quiet, humble priest during the Nazi occupation of a small Italian village. His emotions are torn between service to God and love for a beautiful parishioner. His participation in a resistance mission leads him into danger. He believes he is ...

Cousin Bette

Jessica Lange, Elisabeth Shue

Fox Home Entertainment, 1998

Don't Mess with Cousin Bette; your life is at stake
Sometimes it just does not pay to screw with someone's emotions.Not since the wickedly cool performance of Glenn Close in DANGEROUS LIAISONS has there come another so deliciously detached revenger as Cousin Bette.Jessica Lange could not have been a better choice to ...

Treasure Island (1990)

Charlton Heston, Christian Bale

Turner Home Ent, 2001

Absolutely love it!
This is a wonderful film with the incredible actor Charlton Heston. The music is incredible, the acting is great, the shot-on-location scenery is perfect. I have seen other versions and this is by far my favorite.

Disney's 101 Dalmatians

Glenn Close, Jeff Daniels

Walt Disney Home Video, 1997

One of my childhood favorites.
I have to admit, like "Toy Story," "101 Dalmatians" was one of my favorite childhood favorites from Disney. Although the worst part of the film was that Cruella DeVille use to give me the freaks. But I would have to admit that even though she still gives me the freaks, ...

Owd Bob

James Cromwell, Colm Meaney

Polygram USA Video, 2001

Great Movie That Went Unnoticed
While the film quality is not like the big budgeted Hollywood films, this flick still carries its intention -- to entertain. You have an American boy who was recently orphaned and is sent away to live with his grandfather on the Isle of Man. The grandfather was ...

Lifeforce

Steve Railsback, Peter Firth

MGM (Video & DVD), 1996

Freaked me out as a kid, and pretty sexy for a horror flick
An, unusual, kind of classic cult horror movie. A lot of British actors, filmed in England. Fairly artistic, and a joke in some parts, but with it's really creepy moments. Sexy. That's what stood out about this movie to me as a kid, it was pretty sexy, traumatic, ...

Prime Suspect 1

Helen Mirren, John Benfield

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1997

Prime Suspect 1
Ordered this for my mom. Shipping was very fast. She loves the series. Have now purchased 1 thru 4-only three more to go!

Hidden Agenda

Frances McDormand, Brian Cox

Hbo Home Video, 1993

Hidden Agenda
This is a tell it like it was and unfortunately still is in Northern Irelan in this year 2007. It shows the power a a dominating goverment and how they will not let go and how so many suffer because of a political agenda, which is "HIDDEN------Slainte ...

Prime Suspect Series 4 (The Lost Child, Inner Circles, Scent of Darkness)

Helen Mirren, Beatie Edney

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1997

More please!
Well written, well acted and an engrossing tale. Its not easy to keep the pace up on Mk's 2,3,4 and so forth and sometimes they trade on the initial success, this is not the case here and this well worth the watching.

Gay - The Beggar's Opera / Gardiner, Hoskins, Daltrey, English Baroque Soloists

Don Estelle, Tim Brown

Kultur Video, 1997

RETRAIN ME BACK!
This is an excellent show. I first saw it on PBS. Roger does a great job, not what you would expect. The fun back story is that Roger had to be classically trained to do this part and when he was done, he found he couldn't perform 'Who' music. He went back to the ...

Prime Suspect 2

Helen Mirren, Colin Salmon

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1997

No Sophomore Slump Here!
Prime Suspect 2 is just as well made and compelling as its predecessor. This story was especially interesting because of the race relations angle that was a focus of much of the program. Helen Mirren's Jane is not always a likable character but she seems very very ...

Prime Suspect 3

Helen Mirren, Peter Capaldi

Starz / Anchor Bay, 1997

Helen Mirren, the BEST!
Loved Prime Suspect, Season 2 Wish I had known about this series years ago but so glad I did eventually find out about it! I'll get all seasons eventually. GREAT price! I don't feel like I'm watching TV. I feel like I'm watching a well made movie!

Sign of Four (1983)

Ian Richardson, David Healy

Paramount, 1998

Brilliant, thrilling and amazing
Of course it is always said but for the hundreth time: Ian Richardson is perhaps the best of all Holmses on screen. The film shows a very colourful and amazing version of the classic by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. But no more talking - watch it. The game is afoot!
