Average Rating:	Spooks: Complete BBC Series 6 [2007] starring: Peter Firth, Rupert Penry-Jones, Hermione Norris, Raza Jaffrey, Hugh Simon October 06, 2008		List Price: Â£39.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£25.98 You Save: £14.01 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£24.50
Series six does not reallly measure up to the high standards Spooks has set. First of all, visually it's much more conventional than the earlier series. But stories and characters were always Spooks' strongest assets. The stories are just not as gripping as they used to be and they seem to be running out of ideas. The first two episodes are about biological warfare, the third is about chemical warfare. The development of the storylines is sometimes not very convincing in terms of arriving at a solution. Too often there is the deus ex machina which is not satisfying. The characters are interesting as always, particularly nerw arrival Connie. Ros was never my favourite character but now she defintely develops in s very strange way. That in itself ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Tess Of The D'Urbervilles [2008] starring: Gemma Arterton, Eddie Redmayne, Ruth Jones, Hans Matheson October 27, 2008		List Price: Â£24.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£15.98 You Save: £9.01 (36%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£34.16
I thought this new BBC dvd was quite good - until near the end when Tess and Angel are hiding in the empty mansion and we are suddenly confronted with and orgy of nudity and sex. I think the BBC have lost the plot. Thomas Hardy's text certainly does not call for such an exhibition. I think the older versions available have more integrity and artistic merit. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Sense And Sensibility (Collector's Edition) [1996] starring: Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, James Fleet, Tom Wilkinson, Harriet Walter directed by: Ang Lee February 06, 2006		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £9.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.19
Sense and Sensibility, directed by Ang Lee with a screenplay written by Emma Thompson, made up one part of the holy trinity of Austen productions which aired in 1995. That crowning year for Austenmania began with the BBC production of Persuasion in April 1995 (starring Amanda Root and CiÃ¡ran Hinds), followed by the impeccable BBC version of Pride and Prejudice (starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) in September and October, and was capped off in mid-December by this film version of Sense and Sensibility. Emma Thompson's much-praised screenplay (for which she won an Oscar and a Golden Globe) straddles the difficult divide between pleasing the community of Jane Austen purists and making the 1811 novel appealing to a wider audience of cinema-goers with ...

Average Rating:	Bridget Jones's Diary [2001] starring: Renee Zellweger, Honor Blackman, Embeth Davidtz, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant directed by: Sharon Maguire December 20, 2004		List Price: Â£17.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £14.01 (78%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.63
The story of Bridget Jones first began as a diary collumn in a newspaper, rose to success in book form (then it's sequel) and then finally hit the movies in 2001 with Briget played quite perfectly by the lovely Renee Zellwegger. This modern take on Pride and Predjudice follows the female protagonist Briget Jones who decides to keep a diary of her life; unlike the Mary-Jane all too perfect characters in most stories and movies of today, Bridget is quite literally EVERY woman you've ever known. Bridget is a 30-something urban singleton on the look for love - perhaps in the wrong places. She's an ever so slightly overweight (Zellwegger put on weight specifically for the movie) office worker who reads self-help books religiously, and ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Bridget Jones 2: The Edge of Reason [2004] starring: RenÃ©e Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Gemma Jones, Jim Broadbent directed by: Beeban Kidron July 03, 2006		List Price: Â£24.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £21.01 (84%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£0.95
Unfortunately, this is miles away from being as good as the books or the first film. They changed the plot so they could shoe-horn Hugh Grant into the film (and a not very good fight scene with Colin Firth as well). But so much worse is the sense that Bridget has been made into a figure of fun, rather than someone who was funny because we related to her. Not funny, not romantic, even Colin Firth is less lovely in this film. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Oscar Wilde BBC Collection : The Importance Of Being Earnest / The Picture Of Dorian Gray / An Ideal Husband / Lady Windermere's Fan (3 Disc Box Set) starring: John Gielgud, Joan Plowright, Jeremy Brett, Susan Hampshire, Rupert Frazer directed by: Stuart Burge, John Gorrie, Rudolph Cartier, Tony Smith May 30, 2005		List Price: Â£24.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.98 You Save: £17.01 (68%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£7.95
I bought this set some time ago, but have just re-watched some of the plays and was again impressed with the high standard of acting and production. For example, the version of An Ideal Husband is so much better than the recent film of that name. The latter seems so shallow in comparison and made the mistake of re-writing Wilde's words. If you like Oscar wilde's writing you'll enjoy this set. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Wilde [1997] starring: Stephen Fry, Jude Law, Vanessa Redgrave, Jennifer Ehle, Gemma Jones directed by: Brian Gilbert April 27, 2006		List Price: Â£9.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £5.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.39
This was an informative and sensitive portrayal of the life of Oscar Wilde. Julian Mitchell weaves in the script lots of Wildean witticisms, and the pity of his Oscar's genius abused comes across. Having read about Wilde's death, I would have liked the film to have ended with that scene. It could have been an English Cyrano de Bergerac. An enjoyable and rich English film which doesn't quite earn classic status. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Paperhouse [1989] starring: Ben Cross, Charlotte Burke, Glenne Headly, Gemma Jones, Elliot Spiers directed by: Bernard Rose September 24, 2007		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£2.98 You Save: £13.01 (81%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.95
i remember watching paperhouse as a child, and it left quite an impression, as an adult i wasn't dissapointed in this re-make at all, i was totally engrossed from start to finish, it had me jumping off my seat in parts, it was well played, the storyline is excellent. >>More Details

Average Rating:	On The Black Hill [1987] starring: Nicola Beddoe, Bob Peck, Catherine Schell, Patrick Godfrey, Gemma Jones directed by: Andrew Grieve March 31, 2008		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£8.98 You Save: £4.01 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.99
I have just finished watching the DVD. Andrew Grieve's extremely faithful adaptation of Bruce Chatwin's novel is inspiring. While there are some occasional losses (i.e. Grieve's underplaying of Amos's abuse of Mary and Lewis's desire to achieve autonomy through independent sexual expression) there are also considerable gains in terms of focus and momentum. As somebody who currently lives in the Black Hills area (lambing season again!), I can vouch for the integrity of the cinematographic achievements of the director which are considerable and haunting. The acting more than matches the brilliant landscapes and the much-missed Bob Peck leads an inspired cast. The novel is pitched at the dark side of Hardy and succeeds brilliantly without the need for the latter's heavy and plodding ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Bridget Jones's Diary / The Edge Of Reason starring: Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Gemma Jones, Jim Broadbent directed by: Sharon Maguire, Beeban Kidron November 14, 2005		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£9.98 You Save: £10.01 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£5.99
Now, it is true to say that the iconography of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones isn't one to be taken too seriously. Beginning life as a newspaper serial whose captions would later constitute a worldwide bestselling novel, Fielding at once captured the humility, the optimism and every single wine stain of the modern day middle-class working girl in England, with barbed asides regarding celebrity culture and the dating game that bordered on the scabrous but that were also never less-than-funny. To turn the novel into a charming romantic comedy blockbuster proved to be a bit of a no-brainer for Working Title and Miramax, and thanks to a marketing push that enveloped the world much like Miss Jones's underpants did her tummy and waist, pubs became wine bars or cocktail lounges and the film ...
