Average Rating:	Henry V [1989] starring: Kenneth Branagh, Derek Jacobi, Simon Shepherd, James Larkin, Brian Blessed directed by: Kenneth Branagh June 17, 2002		List Price: Â£9.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £5.01 (50%) Prices subject to change.
This was an excellent adaptation, of what is, in my opinion, one of the Shakespeare's best plays. Full of famous names, they bring this wonderful masterpiece to life. Kenneth Branagh plays the Title role of Henry V, and really does justice to the historical figure, as well as shakespeare's idealised man. King Henry tries to be a just and fair King, who has won the admiration of most of his subjects, despite a chequered past. Yet he can, at the same time be hard with those who cross him, or are a threat. He is a well developed human character that you can idebtify with. Brian Blessed plays his large Uncle the Duke of Exeter, who helps goad him on to make war, but really does seem to care for him. Looking very ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Never Say Never Again [1983] starring: Sean Connery, Kim Basinger, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Max von Sydow, Barbara Carrera directed by: Irvin Kershner April 23, 2001		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.97 You Save: £11.02 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.99
For many Bond fans, the return of Sean Connery in this "unofficial" Bond entry, was an exciting opportunity to experience the Connery magic and charisma before the earlier pre-Roger Moore years. Released in 1983, the film competed head-to-head against Moore's entry, "Octopussy" which, to some critics of note, one of the better Roger Moore efforts. Obviously, this production had a more engaging cast, an entertaining story, and some good actors: Maude Adams and Lois Jourdan as Bond's nemesis than "Never Say Never Again." While it's good to have Connery back, looking actually fitter than he did in "Diamond Are Forever" in 1971, and wearing a faultless toupee, the film manages to fall short on a number of levels. Viewers should note, it is a different ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Age Of Innocence [1993] starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Winona Ryder, Alexis Smith, Geraldine Chaplin directed by: Martin Scorsese October 15, 2001		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £7.02 (54%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.80
I am rating this movie three stars as the result of some complicated mathematics, of which the detail is as follows: - basically, this is a ONE star movie. Why? Because in this movie virtually NOTHING happens! And this is a REEEAAAAALLLLYYYYY long one - 132 minutes is not a small thing to swallow, believe me, I know! Now, this kind of movie can be very dangerous. The first time I went to see it, I was with a date. Now, this date was to become later my fiance, then my bride, my life companion and ultimately the mother of my children. All of which almost didn't happen, because of this movie! Even now, after all this time, my wife reminds me "The Age of Innocence" disaster if she wants to put me down. So, be warned - this is a VERY long nothing! ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Longitude [1999] starring: Michael Gambon, Jeremy Irons, Ian Hart, Alec McCowen, Peter Vaughan directed by: Charles Sturridge January 15, 2007		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£9.98 You Save: £3.01 (23%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£7.40
Having watched this photoplay of one of the great, yet little known, people of history, I was left to wonder if the film could have been any better. Having watched it again a dozen times, each time more critically, I am left to answer unequivocally "no". The plot, the casting, the effects, the script, the production; everything. It's "all good." Set in two worlds, "Longitude" sets out to depict the lives of two men: the first is John Harrison, maker of the first correct timepiece for use at sea, struggling with the Board of Longitude re the recognition of his work. The man dedicated his life to finding a practical solution to the problem of finding longitude at sea, a solution to which all navigators today owe their livelihoods. As is said: "There isn't a sailor ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Personal Services [1986] starring: Alec McCowen, Julie Walters, Shirley Stelfox directed by: Terry Jones June 11, 2007		Vegetarian Books Price: Â£15.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price:
It's quickly apparent that Julie Walters was the perfect choice for the part of Cynthia Payne, the girl-next-door prostitute who might actually be the girl next door. Having been immortalised as the hunchback dithering tea lady in `Acorn Antiques', it's easy to forget how naturally attractive she was in the `80s when she seemed to make a career from playing women who rise from nothing using nothing but grit and perseverance. The film shows the grotty side of the seedy houses and exploited women - but only briefly. The film becomes a dark comedy before turning into an all out `Carry On...' style farce. But once this goes, the story around her relationship with her son and dad helps to add depth once more. Just as it seems that Terry Jones abandoned the ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Hanover Street [1975] starring: Harrison Ford, Lesley-Anne Down, Christopher Plummer, Alec McCowen, Richard Masur directed by: Peter Hyams September 16, 2002		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.87 You Save: £7.12 (55%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.45
I remember watching Hanover street years ago, before most people had ever heard of home computing, and loved it so much that I took a few years, once I'd got a computer, searching to see if I cold find it on DVD anywhere. I purchased my copy from Amazon about three years ago, the only place who can generally find any of the more obscure films and music that I look for, and Hanover Street is still a winner. At first I thought it was going to be really cheesy, but it becomes very gutsy towards the end when Harrison, as a WWII American bomber pilot, manages to complete a mission, with his lover's husband, behind enemy lines after they are both shot down. Gallant to the end Harrison never discloses that he has twigged on to who the other guy is, who tells Harrison that he has taken ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Frenzy [1972] starring: Jon Finch, Barry Foster, Barbara Leigh-Hunt, Anna Massey, Alec McCowen directed by: Alfred Hitchcock October 17, 2005		List Price: Â£9.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.78 You Save: £4.21 (42%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.98
Hitchcock had a number of rules about who could be murdered and how which are illustrated best when he breaks them. The first was that he would never murder a character who the audience had been made sympathetic to. His biggest transgression of this rule was in his early film Sabotage where a character is killed when the audience would have expected him to suurvive until the last minute. Here there are two women killed, both of whom we are sympathetic to and the first of who we see raped and murdered in a rather brutal way. Many people cannot watch this movie because of this scene. That bring us to the second rule that the act of killing should have most of it's shock value in the suggestion of violence rather than graphic violence. Hitchcock broke this rule twice. Firstly ...
