Average Rating:	Wuthering Heights [1992] starring: Juliette Binoche, Ralph Fiennes, Janet McTeer, Sophie Ward, Simon Shepherd directed by: Peter Kosminsky December 22, 2003		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £11.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.20
This is the first film version of Wuthering Heights that I've seen all the way through and I've not yet read the book. I've looked at some of the reviews on this website with interest and it seems that most people either love or loathe this film, with few views inbetween those two extremes. I have to say that, as an introduction to this famous classic, I rather liked it. Although I haven't read the book, it is obvious that the plot has had to be condensced from novel to film so you have to make some allowances for that if you are a big fan of the book. To be fair, any film portrayal of an extensive book is going to suffer from this. However, I thought the performances were excellent and Fiennes makes a stunning Heathcliff, managing ...

Average Rating:	Five Days - Complete BBC Series (2 Disc Set) [2006] starring: Edward Woodward, Hugh Bonneville, Patrick Malahide, Penelope Wilton, Sarah Smart September 10, 2007		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.98 You Save: £14.01 (70%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.00
This is a well-made entertaining show. Starts out with much promise but kind of runs out of steam. The character development is excellent but it is at the expense of the plot, which all but evaporates after about the third episode. Great performances pity the storyline couldn't match up. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Portrait Of A Marriage [1990] starring: Janet McTeer, David Haig, Cathryn Harrison June 30, 2008		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£9.97 You Save: £6.02 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Based on the book by their son Nigel this movie shows the story of the marriage of Vita Sackville-West, the famous novelist, poet and biographer, and Sir Harold Nicolson, diplomat and author. Vita had numerous love affaires with woman, while Harald had his male affaires. Nevertheless the couple maintained their marriage - bisexual couple share a bond of understanding and affection. The central issue is affaire of Vita with Violet Keppel, Mrs. Denys Trefusis, the daughter of Alice Keppel, the famous mistress of King Edward VII and aunt to Camilla Parker-Bowles. It is quite an amazing story and most instructive in class terms and prejudices against homosexual love. For modern viewers there is nothing shocking in the sexual ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Carrington [1995] starring: Emma Thompson, Jonathan Pryce, Steven Waddington, Samuel West, Rufus Sewell directed by: Christopher Hampton September 22, 2003		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.97 You Save: £9.02 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
This has got to be one of the best movies I have ever watched, but is certainly a movie that requires and deserves to be watched by those who apreciate the fantastic story and acting. If you are looking for action movies don't look here, but if you like movies that are moving and deeply emotional then this might be a movie for you. I cried buckets at the end without the movie being predictable or "soppy" and best of all...it tells the story of real people and makes one think of those poor real characters. All acting was highly professional and to the highest standard in my oppinion, but Pryce was second to none. Highly recomended if you like myself like beautiful but deep movies. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Tideland [2006] starring: Jodelle Ferland, Janet McTeer, Brendan Fletcher, Jennifer Tilly, Jeff Bridges directed by: Terry Gilliam January 29, 2007		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.28 You Save: £14.71 (74%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.65
As a Gilliam fan I was expecting far more from this but, as has been said before, this is possibly due to the original story on which the film was based. Geoff Bridges' character provides the real goodies in the first half of the film after which things do tend to drag. I was contantly expecting 'something more' to happen. That said, the film is beautifully shot and well acted and the 'fantasy' scenes are memorable when Gilliam actually gives free reign to his imagination . >>More Details

Average Rating:	Waking The Dead [1999] starring: Billy Crudup, Jennifer Connelly, Molly Parker, Janet McTeer, Paul Hipp directed by: Keith Gordon April 04, 2005		List Price: Â£5.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £1.01 (17%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.99
A very ambitious politician is mentally hamstrung during election time as he cannot shake the memories of his true love. Over the course of his political ascension he slips from love-induced ecstasy to border-line insanity as he starts to question whether his one true love really died. As the audience, we are very cleverly dragged into this state of mind. Connelly and Crudup's performances turn a decent script into a tremendous romance that only comes around once every few years. This movie was a lead-up to Connelly's Oscar for A Beautiful Mind and Crudup's Almost Famous. There are some very memorable moments...seeing Crudup plead relatives for help to stave the onset of madness is both extremely uncomfortable yet astonishingly ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Catherine Cookson - The Black Velvet Gown [1991] starring: Bob Peck, Janet McTeer, Geraldine Somerville, Brendan P. Healy, Jean Anderson directed by: Norman Stone April 14, 2003		Used Price: Â£22.75
This is one of the best in the fine Catherine Cookson series produced by Ray Marshall. The story is less involved than some others, but it has more than enough twists and surprises to sustain an interesting narrative. However, its key strengths are a fabulous cast, and settings, costumes and locations that realise an historical authenticity rarely bettered. It is probably unfair to single out one actor from a stellar group, but Geraldine Somerville's vivid and engaging performance as the central character Biddy is outstanding. The music in this production is also a treat. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The King Is Alive [2001] starring: Miles Anderson, Romane Bohringer, David Bradley, David Calder, Bruce Davison directed by: Kristian Levring January 28, 2002		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.97 You Save: £8.02 (62%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
I bought this DVD in all good faith (not knowing the details of the script) due to the presence in the credits of one of my favourite actresses, Janet McTeer, who was deservedly nominated for an Oscar the year before she appeared in this. What a fall from grace, going from the sublime comedy, 'Tumbleweeds', to 'The King Is Alive', which plays out like an X-rated version of 'Lord Of The Flies'. I can only infer that Janet was brought onboard on the back of her Oscar nomination in order to give this film some credibility and bankability in the first instance. Yet the final product is still unwatchable. Basically, a group of (supposed) adults become stranded in a Namibian shanty town, when the SatNav onboard ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Tumbleweeds [2000] starring: Janet McTeer, Kimberly J. Brown, Jay O. Sanders, Gavin O'Connor, Laurel Holloman directed by: Gavin O'Connor October 16, 2000		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.97 You Save: £12.02 (60%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Another great performance from the always wonderful Janet McTeer, for which she was nominated for an Oscar in 2000 (only missing- out narrowly to Hilary Swank in 'Boys Don't Cry'). Janet's facility for accents is at the fore, here, as she is a classically trained British actress born in Newcastle and raised in York, England. Yet her Southern drawl is as good as any in Hollywood, and it amazed reporters at the Sundance film festival to hear her speaking 'The Queen's English' to them in interview. One amusing element of the story is where Mary Jo's has to help her daughter to learn her lines for a school production of Romeo and Juliet. Here, Janet has to divest herself ...
