Average Rating:	The Other Boleyn Girl [2003] starring: Yolanda Vasquez, Jared Harris, Natascha McElhone, Steven Mackintosh, Jodhi May directed by: Phillipa Lowthorpe October 06, 2008		List Price: Â£4.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £1.01 (20%) Prices subject to change.
Having watched the more recent The Other Boleyn Girl and then this version again, I felt this version gave a more accurate portrayal of the tensions and infighting that were present at the Tudor court. Jodhi May, an outstanding actress, was superb as Anne Boleyn and you could feel her terror as the inevitable tragedy was unfolding around her. Also, having English actresses portraying the two central characters was a plus: no offence to Natalie Portman or Scarlett Johannsen, but their accents were all over the place, and this was a Hollywood production after all with "name" actresses in the lead roles. Natasha McIlhone as Mary Boleyn was quietly effective as the "other" sister and I found Phil Glenister as William Stafford excellent. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Last Of The Mohicans [1992] starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means, Eric Schweig, Jodhi May directed by: Michael Mann June 01, 2006		List Price: Â£18.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £15.01 (79%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.38
have seen this film more than a dozen times and it never stops to amaze me.. the perfect film combination of a history lesson, action/adventure, suspence and romance, cant believe that the oscars of its year missed it.. many great characters with most given relative depth, and a daniel day-lewis perfectly casted, establishing himself after winning the oscar for my left foot and showing of what is to come from him: in the name of.., gangs of ny, the crucible, there will be blood more recently. A superb multi-layered story, hard and bloody at times but also soft and romantic.. one of the best music scores ever on film (!), visually stunning with breathtaking picture and cinematography, one of these films that makes u think "thats what cinema is all about".. ...

Average Rating:	Flashbacks Of A Fool [2008] starring: Jodhi May, Helen McCrory, James D'Arcy, Daniel Craig, Alfie Allen September 22, 2008		List Price: Â£13.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£9.98 You Save: £4.01 (29%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£9.29
Sometimes you see a movie and it makes an instant connection with your own life - you know immediately that you've watched something that you are going to remember for a long long time. Flashbacks of a Fool was for me just such a movie. It's a beautifully composed and poignant story about a choice made in a moment and the consequences for a lifetime. Daniel Craig carefully resists an easy opportunity to cash-in on his success between Bond movies and just push out a clichÃ©d action flick. Instead he delivers an understated but sensitive performance as a washed-up actor with an un-reconciled past, leaving space for an excellent supporting cast. Harry Eden playing the adolescent Daniel Craig character is exceptional. There are some unanswered ... Read More: >>More Details

I did enjoy this film but as a serious researcher on the subject found it rather confusing and oversimplified for a general audience. Sir Oliver Lodge was the principal of Birmingham University from 1900-1919. So why the writer chose him as the chief adversary of Eddington and portrayed him as being affiliated with Cambridge on a deeper level was confusing. Although Lodge knew many of the Cambridge scientists and visited frequently, it should have been made clearer as to what his position was among his colleagues. As many of the Cambridge scientists of the time remained single, I thought it a cheap shot at intimating something more than a deep feeling of loss for his friend. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The House Of Mirth [2000] starring: Gillian Anderson, Dan Aykroyd, Eric Stoltz, Terry Kinney, Anthony La Paglia directed by: Terence Davies September 17, 2007		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £10.02 (63%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.48
I first watched this film with no idea as to the story, other than what is written on the back of the DVD box. And I am so glad I did. Having now read the novel upon which it is based, I have to admit it is one of the very best adaptations I have ever seen. The music, costumes and script are perfect and the acting superb. Gillian Anderson gives a particularly stunning performance as Lily Bart, the tragic heroine. I have chosen not to give away the plot in the hope you'll take my word and give it a go, but I challenge you not to cry. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Warriors [1999] [Dutch Import] starring: Ioan Gruffudd, Matthew Macfadyen, Damian Lewis, Cal Macaninch, Darren Morfitt directed by: Peter Kosminsky January 07, 2004		Used Price:
One of the most outstanding BBC single dramas. Perhaps it shares the blame a little too evenly, but you cannot have everything. Why is it that the BBC's outstanding dramas are never published in the UK. I think also of "Foreign Field" (USA only). The BBC seems to make a habit of only publishing its rubbish lately and ignoring its gems. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Friends And Crocodiles starring: Damian Lewis, Jodhi May, Robert Lindsay directed by: Stephen Poliakoff January 09, 2006		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£13.98 You Save: £6.01 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.99
The mood is one of sadness, nostalgia, what might have been: an elegiac view of a recent past, a time already no more than a memory, beautifully filmed, full of haunting images. It is not an attempt at realism; the interpretation relies heavily on symbolism, a shorthand to convey two decades of British social history. It starts with a young man, Paul (Damian Lewis) of working class background who has made a fortune in property speculation in the 70's. Like any young man who finds himself wealthy beyond expectation, the power it gives him to indulge all his flights of fantasy leads to excesses and he is busy squandering his genius, cultivating a motley gathering of friends and hangers-on who come `like pigs to the trough' to gorge themselves on the riches he makes freely available ...

Average Rating:	Daniel Deronda [2002] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Hugh Dancy, Romola Garai, Hugh Bonneville, Jodhi May, Edward Fox directed by: Tom Hooper April 17, 2007		Used Price: Â£6.98
This is a gorgous dramatisation of a great book, something to watch again and again. I taped this when the BBC broadcasted it, fully prepared to buy it as soon as the region 2DVD was released. I'm still waiting for that to happen. It's a complete mystery to me why it has to take so long. So for now I just keep hoping my old VHS tapes won't degenerate too fast. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Mayor Of Casterbridge [2003] starring: CiarÃ¡n Hinds, Juliet Aubrey, Jodhi May, James Purefoy, Polly Walker directed by: David Thacker January 19, 2004		Used Price: Â£9.99
A remarkable film, noteworthy for the skill with which it captures the grim, elemental force of the Hardy novel. CiarÃ n Hinds, physically large, brooding and saturnine, is quite magnificent as the doom-laden Henchard, and succeeds brilliantly in making us see the "man of character" at the centre of the story as an object of pity every bit as much as a selfish man worthy of contempt. Jodhi May gives a sensitive and intelligent performance as Elizabeth Jane, and the rest of the acting is uniformly of a very high standard. This is a stark and disturbing tale, and the sense of unfolding tragedy is well conveyed by the cinematography, with its emphasis on dark interiors and on slightly menacing outdoor scenes illuminated by flat and subdued lighting. Just over three hours of barely unrelieved gloom will not be to ... Read More: >>More Details
