Bill Paterson

Sam Waterston, Haing S. Ngor

Warner Home Video, 2001

Excellence!!!
theres no shadow of doubt that this is a classic that presents the khmer rouge issue in cambodia and an extraordinary history that everyone got to see.

Amazing Grace

Ioan Gruffudd, Romola Garai

20th Century Fox, 2007

Really Good
A great period piece. Not preachy but could have been. Acting was great. Historical content accurate. Do not pass on the chance to see this.

Wives and Daughters

Justine Waddell, Bill Paterson

BBC Warner, 2006

Entertaining!
There are three DVD's in this package and I wished that the story would have never ended. I would have loved to have had more to watch! (The one DVD is of the making of the series.) The directors and screen writers did an excellant job with this movie. It was made ...

The Elizabeth Gaskell Collection (Wives and Daughters / Cranford / North and South)

Justine Waddell, Bill Paterson

BBC Warner, 2008

Three Great Productions
All three of these shows are so good, you'll be glad to have them on hand to watch again and again. (And in such a compact package that saves shelf space!) North and South gets my nod as the best, but the other two are fantastic as well. Each contains several ...

Richard III

Ian McKellen, Annette Bening

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

A Chilling Version Of A Shakespeare Classic
When it comes to updates of the Shakespeare plays , Richard III is probably the best of the lot. While it might seem like an unusual concept to take the classic play of deceit, betrayal, seduction, and cold-blooded murder out of the 1400's and into an alternate history ...

Truly Madly Deeply

Juliet Stevenson, Jenny Howe

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

Truly Madly Deeply in Love with this film
There are So many romantic comedies made, why can't they be as creative, as touching, realistic and human as this one. The gist of the story you may know, Nina the main character is incredibly heartbroken after the death of her beloved Jamie. She finds her life ...

Miss Potter

Renée Zellweger, Ewan McGregor

Weinstein Company, 2007

Safe for the entire family
Excellent Movie that is safe for the entire family and friends and visitors. We added this to our collection of movies to have on hand when we have visitors. It is always great to have a collection of movies that are not only entertaining, but also safe to put into ...

The Witches

Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling

Warner Home Video, 1999

A childhood classic not to be missed!
I love the imagination of Roald Dahl who wrote the book for The Witches as well as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Matilda. I have been impressed with all the film adaptions (including both versions of Charlie with Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp). I have a feeling ...

Oliver's Travels

Alan Bates, Sinéad Cusack

Acorn Media, 2005

Delightful Romantic Comedy/Mystery
I shall be brief. I agree with the other reviewers here who have given this lighthearted series 5 stars. The main characters, Oliver, a redundant Professor of Comparative Religions, and Diane, a policewoman forced to take a leave of absence after asking sticky ...

Hilary & Jackie

Emily Watson, Rachel Griffiths

Universal Studios, 2002

Two great actresses playing two disturbed sisters...WOW!!!
HILARY AND JACKIE is still one of the most disturbing and unsettling pieces of film that I have ever seen! From the very beginning of the film there is a looming foreboding and an uncomfortable uneasiness that follows through every frame in this account of the lives ...

Prozac Nation

Christina Ricci, Jason Biggs

Miramax Home Entertainment, 2005

Picked up from the Discount bin
I picked up this movie from a discount bin because it had a picture of Christina Richie on it. She has always intrigued me. I was stunned to find a movie of substance and deep emotional material. Late the other night, I was tired, but not enough to sleep, so I ...

Doctor Zhivago (TV Miniseries)

Sam MacLintock, Keira Knightley

Acorn Media, 2003

New is not always bad.
I too prefer this version. But I am odd-man out because I never loved the original screen adaptation. Perhaps because although full of great talents, it failed to make me care about the characters. I did love the "making of" footage on the collector's edition I ...

Crush

Andie MacDowell, Imelda Staunton

Sony Pictures, 2002

Movie = great - Music/soundtrack = FANTASTIC
Just saw Crush last week and really liked the movie (the acting/actors, the story and setting were all great). I found the music/soundtrack really fantastic though - I needed to have it. It took a while to find, but I finally ran across it on amazon.de. There was a ...
