Miranda Richardson

Christian Bale, John Malkovich

Warner Home Video, 1994

An outstanding achievement
As someone who dislikes Spielberg movies for their triteness and reliance on mind-numbing plots, I forewent seeing Empire of the Sun for years because I assumed it would be another "Schindler's List" or worse. In fact, Empire of the Sun is the only Spielberg movie I ...

Lilo & Stitch

Zoe Caldwell, Tia Carrere

Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 2002

Adorable
Lilo & Stich is such a lovely film! It tells the highly original story of a little Hawaiian girl who is orphaned encountering an experimental creature from outerspace and quickly befriending it. The animation is exquisite and the voice cast are on top form throughout ...

Enchanted April (1991)

Josie Lawrence, Miranda Richardson

Paramount, 1994

Good News, DVD To Be Released Soon!
Many thanks to another review that provided a contact name and email address. I sent an email to Stuart Snaith many weeks ago, and just received a reply today (18 July 2008) from Liz Hammond. Liz said the problems over film rights have been resolved and the Enchanted ...

The Phantom of the Opera

Gerard Butler, Emmy Rossum

Warner Home Video, 2005

Phantom of the Opera - Gerard Butler
I could not wait to get this DVD and when I finally did get it, I was really amazed that Jerry could sing so well. Some may think he didn't do such a good job but I am a fan of everything he does. It was a great love story with so much hurt and loneliness. I felt ...

Chicken Run

Mel Gibson, Timothy Spall

Dreamworks Video, 2000

Poeltry in Motion
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a bunch of dimwitted chickens in a makeshift aircraft! Who knew chickens could organize and outwit humans? Veddy British and utterly charming, Chicken Run will make you think about freedom, friendship, loyalty, determination, courage, ...

Evening Star

Shirley MacLaine, Bill Paxton

Paramount Pictures, 1997

love the spin off of terms!
very moving and great spin off of "terms of endearment" she had a hard life as I had.

Merlin

Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson

Hallmark, 1998

A solid rendering -- full-screen version
For fantasy movie fans this one is a big winner. It's Merlin's story, told in retrospect by the old necromancer himself. The casting is near perfect, the scenery and sets are superb, the cinematography is terrific, and the story continuity is quite coherent, (the ...

Fatherland (1994)

Rutger Hauer, Miranda Richardson

Warner Home Video, 1996

So, what if... SS-CSI : Berlin? (((lol)))
First off... I have never read the book, so no comparisons from me on that point. I first started watching this movie on HBO back in the early 90's, but was interupted by visiting friends and never got back to it. But the first half hour of what I did see ...

Black Adder - Christmas Carol

Rowan Atkinson, Tony Robinson

20th Century Fox, 1995

Funniest Christmas Show EVER
This is a totally hilarious twist on the Dicken's classic. A must own for any British comedy or Blackadder fans. "Blackadder's Christmas Carol" should be a Christmas classic. Especially interesting to watch if you are a fan of the TV show, "House". Highly ...

Damage (Unrated)

Jeremy Irons, Juliette Binoche

New Line Home Video, 1997

Emotionally captivating with brilliant performances by Irons, Binoche and Richardson
[BEWARE SPOILERS] I don't know whether I've ever watched a film in which I identified more with all the characters than I did in this emotionally wrenching masterwork from the late, great Louis Malle. It is part of the genius of Malle to, like Shakespeare, make ...

Kate Bush: The Line, the Cross & The Curve

Stewart Arnold, Christopher Banaman

Sony, 1994

IF YOU'RE A KATE BUSH FAN
If you're a KaTe fan you'll love this film. The music is as beautiful as ever as is Kate herself. Being a perfectionist she is reported to not be totally happy with the finished product. This film was made using songs from her latest album "The Red Shoes" and draws on ...

The Apostle

Todd Allen, Brother Paul Bagget

Polygram USA Video, 1999

What a fantastic movie!
Wow! You never want to think that someone would react the way Apostle did when in the same situation, but you hear about it all the time on the evening news. What incredible story-telling! Robert was just fantastic as the Bible-thumping, pew-jumping preacher! What a ...

Twisted Obsession

Jeff Goldblum, Miranda Richardson

Universal Studios Ho, 1990

Amazing! Different! Fascinating!
Plot: Writer Dan Gillis lives in Paris (great so far, but there's more!!) He lives with his son, and is divorced from his wife. He is hired to write a script based on a quote from Peter Pan, it's all very bizarre, bit even more bizarre is the director, and young ...
