A Little Romance

Laurence Olivier, Diane Lane

Warner Home Video, 2003

A jewel of romance, don't miss it!!!
A Little Romance is an enchanting film, where we found one of our favorite actresses, Diane Lane, on her debut at the tender age of 14. The movie is a romance, the first love of a highly intelligent and precocious young woman, daughter of a woman that changes ...

The Importance of Being Earnest

Rupert Everett, Colin Firth

Miramax, 2002

Great performances!
Before watching this movie, I loved Colin Firth... after this movie I absolutely ADORE Colin! The exact same thing happens with Rupert Everett. Really really funny! a must-see for all ages. Clever plot. I'm dying to find the soundtrack.... if anyone knows where please ...

The Machinist

Christian Bale, Jennifer Jason Leigh

Paramount, 2005

I'm going out on a limb here...
Christian Bale is the new Marlon Brando. That's my take. I'd seen every one of his films before this (except for the latest Batman) and thought I had witnessed his best performances but no - this is his greatest. I am a complete and total CB fan. I hate movies like ...

A Doll's House

Claire Bloom, Anthony Hopkins

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

A Doll's House, Seriously
This 1970s production of Ibsen's classic play is well worth the viewing -- it's a solid and believable -- if unsensational -- reading of one of the most famous plays in literature -- and one of the key documents in feminism. The total lack of gimmickry and straight ...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes - 10 Movies

Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce

St Clair Entertainment Group, Inc, 2005

An "elementary" Holmes collection
SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S SHERLOCK HOLMES includes nine public domain mysteries from the 1930s and '40s. There's also an extra item on each of this set's three DVDs. MYSTERY CLASSICS 50 MOVIE PACK COLLECTION is a related DVD collection of budget-priced vintage ...

Affinity

Anna Madeley, Zoe Tapper

MTV, 2008

Interesting story!
Interesting story! As expected, it is beautifully filmed, the dialogue is convincing and the actresses are wonderfull - like other Sarah Waters stories. The actresses do a wonderful job in displaying love for one another, despite the lack of love scenes between them. I ...

A Tale of Two Cities (Masterpiece Theatre, 1989)

James Wilby, Xavier Deluc

Bfs Entertainment, 2001

Worth watching. Worth owning.
Within my admittedly limited experience, Masterpiece Theater dramatizations of great books are well produced and faithful to the original. This is no exception. Well, Dickens's famous opening lines, "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times," etc. do not ...

Impromptu

Judy Davis, Hugh Grant

MGM (Video & DVD), 2002

Delightful
I somehow missed this one until now. What a gem! With such great acting, outrageously funny plot and exquisite music, no matter that it's only remotely historical. And with all its silliness, it also has some interesting character revelations. I've been collecting ...

Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont

Joan Plowright; Rupert Friend; Zoe Tapper; Anna Massey; Robert Lang (II); Marcia Warren; Georgina Hale; Millicent Martin; Michael Culkin; Anna Carteret; Lorcan O'Toole; Timothy Bateson; Clare Higgins; Emma Pike; Carl Proctor; Sophie Linfield; Olivia Caffrey

Westlake, 2006

Such a "Gift" for a world lacking in true focus!
Joan Plowright held me spellbound from start to finish. The cast is magically interwoven in such way that all become family and create the very best outcome for a story that is alive within society each day, yet seems to be unseen and not acknowledged. Our elders are ...

Frenzy

Jon Finch, Barry Foster

Universal Studios, 2006

Unique Morbidity and Neckties
From the opening shot and Ron Goodwin's very British score, 1972's FRENZY is a thriller that harkens back to the type of films he was directing in the 40's that combine his unique morbidity with incongruous humor and the element of the wrong man being accused of ...

Dark Blue World

Hans-Jörg Assmann, Juraj Bernáth

Sony Pictures, 2002

A technically accurate war film
The other reviwers did a good job describing the love triangle, the tragic story of the Czech pilots treatment by thier own countrymen under Communism after the war, and all the other human elements to this very human, beautifully filmed melancholy film. But I ...

Haunted (Full Screen)

Aidan Quinn, Kate Beckinsale

Lions Gate, 2001

No ghosts please, we're British
I first saw this in 1999 when it was shown on TV and I taped it, mostly on a whim. At that time I had no idea who Kate Beckinsale was, and I'd never heard of Aidan Quinn. To be honest reading the film description of a guy who investigates a haunted house made me expect ...

Mountains of the Moon

Patrick Bergin, Iain Glen

Artisan Entertainment, 2002

No wonder it bombed...
Informative, educational. An interesting story that is pretty much the way it happened. A look into the world that laid the cornerstone for ours. Good actors that nobody ever heard of. No wonder it bombed. Borrow $2 from somebody and get it used from Amazon.

The Tall Guy

Rowan Atkinson, Tim Barlow

Miramax, 2002

Funny, sexy, and wellwritten
This is a very funny, well-acted piece, for anyone who loves real, true comedy. It is a very perceptive commentary on the world of theatre, and the very idea of a musical comedy version of the tragic Elephant Man just makes me laugh again and again. Jeff Goldblum and ...
