Average Rating:	Agatha Christie's Poirot - Collection 7 [2008] starring: David Suchet, Elizabeth Berrington, Richard Dillane, Katie Leung, Natasha Little October 06, 2008		List Price: Â£24.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£16.98 You Save: £8.01 (32%) Prices subject to change.
Oh, how I agree with Anna-lena Berg! I really love David Suchet as Hercule Poirot, but the new series is not as good as I expected. Third Girl : David Baker should really be the bad guy - I was totally shocked that they changed the story. The same thing with Appointemnt with Death - very dissapointing. Mrs. MacGuinty is ok and Cat among the pidgeons too. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Let Them Eat Cake - Complete Series [1999] starring: Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Adrian Scarborough, Elizabeth Berrington, Lucy Punch directed by: Christine Gernon March 05, 2007		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.98 You Save: £8.01 (50%) Prices subject to change.
I bought this thinking it would be of a similar standard to 'Jam And Jerusalem'...and was I disappointed. I could not get passed the first episode with its mediocre, predictable jokes and loud canned laughter. You needed to latter to indicate when it was supposed to be funny. A cross between 'Absolutely Fabulous' and 'Black Adder', it had the charm of neither. What a disappointment! Unlike the other reviewers, I think the public had it right when they canned this one. I had not seen this before but, as it was cheap, decided to take a punt. I can remember a 'French and Saunders' skit where they ridiculed canned laughter and so why did they cynically put it in all their subsequent series except 'Jam and Jerusalem'. It is not needed. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Deal [2003] starring: Paul Rhys, David Morrissey, Michael Sheen, Elizabeth Berrington, Frank Kelly directed by: Stephen Frears May 19, 2008		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.98 You Save: £8.01 (50%) Prices subject to change.
I have just watched this film tonight and I found it fascinating. This is from the writer and director of `The Queen' and there are strong parallels between the two films, particularly as Michael Sheen once again provides an outstanding portrayal of Tony Blair. The film chronicles the relationship between Gordon Brown and Tony Blair from when they became MPs to when Tony Blair took charge of the Labour party. British politics is often seen as drab and grey, so it is to the writer/directors credit that this film is fast-paced, gripping and satisfyingly entertaining. It stands up well to political films with much flashier subject matter, like Bill Clinton's infidelities during his quest for the Democratic nomination (Primary Colours) or ...

Average Rating:	8.1/2 Women [1999] starring: John Standing, Matthew Delamere, Vivian Wu, Toni Collette, Amanda Plummer directed by: Peter Greenaway June 30, 2003		List Price: Â£5.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £2.01 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.49
Despite being hissed at Cannes this film is still well worth seeing and improves on repeated viewings. Greenaway has his protagonist ask if all directors make films to fulfil their own sexual fantasies, and we must assume (unless he is pulling our collective leg) proceeds to do exactly that, as Emmenthal pere et fils assemble a harem of female stereotypes in their mansion. As well as the obvious Fellini reference, the film harks back to "A Zed and Two Noughts" in a number of respects, in the sort of intertextual game-playing Greenaway fans will know and love. As with all Greenaway's work since The Falls, the photography is ravishing. No-one makes films which look better. It's unfortunate that he's not found a musical collaborator ...

Average Rating:	Secrets & Lies [1996] starring: Timothy Spall, Brenda Blethyn, Phyllis Logan, Claire Rushbrook, Marianne Jean-Baptiste directed by: Mike Leigh August 16, 2001		Vegetarian Books Price: Â£9.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.90
Over-the-top emotionally, boldly going where few films ever dare to go, Mike Leigh's "Secrets and Lies" never fails, even after many repeated viewings, to impress with its naked, in-your-face emotionalism. Just when you think that Leigh's characters can go no further, cannot possibly peel away another layer to reveal a truth about themselves...a character or characters does just that. Roxanne's (Claire Rushbrook) birthday "party" at her brother Maurice's (a terrific performance by Timothy Spall) house is one of the greatest scenes ever committed to film: all the secrets and lies of this family are revealed, reviled and laid out for all to accept or not. Think "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" times 10 as the old saying the truth shall set you free is applied generously ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Moving Wallpaper - Complete Series 1 [2007] starring: Ben Miller, Raquel Cassidy, Sarah Hadland, Elizabeth Berrington, James Lance March 24, 2008		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £14.02 (70%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
When i first saw this show it was because nothing else was on and also it was half way though the series but once i did see it i watched it to the end and thought it was very funny,and thats saying something coming from a comedy show on ITV.I never saw one episode of EHCO BEACH but was still able to pick up what the show was about.Ben Miller as the slimy boss is just perfect and with some other well knowns in the cast it was worth buying just to see it from the start,and i got it for Â£4.97 down from Â£19.99 and you could'nt be bad to that. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Naked [1993] starring: David Thewlis, Lesley Sharp, Katrin Cartlidge, Greg Cruttwell, Claire Skinner directed by: Mike Leigh June 09, 1997		Used Price: Â£0.94
I cannot for the life of me understand all the 5 star reviews. This film comprises a rediculously unbelieveable script populated with unbelieveable, 2-dimensional, cliched characters and executed with heavy, wooden performances. Is this what happens when artistic folk conspire to create "gritty" and "real" drama. The total running time of nearly two and a half hours makes this ham-fisted effort almost unwatchable >>More Details

Average Rating:	Spivs [2004] starring: Kate Ashfield, Linda Bassett, Chooi Beh, Elizabeth Berrington, Cavan Clerkin directed by: Colin Teague April 25, 2005		Vegetarian Books Price: Â£15.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.00
** review contains spoilers Spivs is a hugely entertaining movie, which will certainly appeal to those of you who enjoyed the likes of Lock Stock or Layer Cake. Ken Stott plays an absolute blinder as the central "spiv" character - an initially cynical geezer who would rip anyone off where there's profit to be had. He's ably backed up by Nick Moran, playing the kind of role he does best, and Dominic Monaghan adding some welcome comedy value as a hapless, permanently stoned sidekick. Jack Dee (a stressed-out and naive businessman), is not really known for his acting ability, but puts in a decent enough performance when he's first being conned mercilessly and then placed in fear of his life. Maybe not quite oscar material, but I was certainly impressed! ... Read More: >>More Details**

Average Rating:	In Bruges [2008] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson, CiarÃ¡n Hinds, Ralph Fiennes, ClÃ©mence PoÃ©sy directed by: Martin McDonagh June 24, 2008		Used Price: Â£15.24
Splendid performances by Colin Farrell, Brendon Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes as well as a solid story and magnificent cinematography lift this sometimes bloodstained film from the ranks of the ordinary thriller. Both Farrell and Gleeson's portrayals of paid assassins, in whom the charming canals, bridges, and gabled houses of Bruges engender a sense of conscience--and, ultimately, redemption--are worthy of Academy Awards; and Ralph Fiennes is also excellent in what for him constitutes an offbeat role as the unrelenting crime-boss who acts according to his own brutal code of conduct. I was particularly struck by Farrell who plays a character that in less skilled hands might seem both whiny and unsympathetic; his moving portrayal demonstrates both his superlative skill and artistry as an actor (which ...
