From the point of view of scenery, this was a pleasing film to watch. For those who crave uplift from their cinema, however ( and I count myself amongst their number), this should be filed under "disappointment". Without wishing to give away too much of the plot,people spend a lot of this film in less than happy moods.I also enjoy my films simple, direct and with a high degree of predictability. This production did not cater to any of these desires, with the result that too much uncertainty tarnished my pleasure. Okay if you like suspense, surprises and loose ends, but if you like to know what's coming next, perhaps you ought to stick to titanic

I've reached the ripe old age of 25 years old, but since discovering a minute ago that every episode of the brilliant Maid Marion and Her Merry Men is finally available on DVD, I'm as excited as a small child on Christmas Eve.

Having taped virtually every episode back in the day and watched them to the point of the tapes wearing out, I thought they would be lost forever, but thankfully whoever owned the rights has seen sense.

This may be a children's programme, but there is much in it to entertain adults. Tony Robinson's humour, as has been mentioned elsewhere, has more than a hint of Blackadder about it (you'll find yourself laughing out loud frequently); the numerous songs are hilarious; and the cast are excellent to ...

Don't Look Now [1973]


starring: Julie Christie, Donald Sutherland, Hilary Mason, Clelia Matania, Massimo Serato
directed by: Nicolas Roeg
July 29, 2002


Hitchcock used an example to explain the difference between surprise and suspense. If people are seated at a table and a bomb explodes, that is surprise. If they are seated at a table, and you know there's a bomb under the table attached to a ticking clock, but they continue to play cards -- that's suspense. There's a bomb under "Dont Look Now" for excruciating stretches of time.


I was expecting this slow-moving movie to descend into routine shock and horror movie,but it doesn't. Most of the movie is all waiting, anticipating and dreading. The jolts that come about midway are of a similar magnitude to movies such as Sixth Sense or The Exorcist.


The film is slow moving, but it manages to expertly linger to create ... Read More:
