Average Rating:	The Tudors: Complete Series 2 [2008] starring: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Natalie Dormer, Jeremy Northam, Henry Cavill, Maria Doyle Kennedy directed by: Michael Hirst October 13, 2008		List Price: Â£29.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£17.97 You Save: £12.02 (40%) Prices subject to change.

I just loved series No 2. It seems that with the characters the whole series has matured. And that in a very positive sense. It is still very entertaing and beautiful to look at. The acting is much more ion the forfront (compared to the mere naked pleasures of series no 1). All in all, it seems to be much more acturate and historically valuable (even tough I beliebe that Jane Seymour is a bit too gorgeous) Jonathan Rhys Meyers performance is superb. It was worthwhile seeing this series. Enjoy!! >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Commitments [1991] starring: Robert Arkins, Michael Aherne, Angeline Ball, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Dave Finnegan directed by: Alan Parker July 28, 2003		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £8.01 (62%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.96
I picked this up cheaply from the supermarket this week, having been keen to see it for some time. I liked the idea of the story, and the musical performances were excellent, but I thought the acting and script didn't come up to the same standard. In particular, I thought Robert Arkins as the lead character (Jimmy Rabbitte) gave a very wooden performance - it seemed at times as if he was reading his lines off a cue card. And I thought the dialogue, while funny in places, was so over-laced with swearing that its impact became ineffective, even on the level of poetry. I know that most of the (hitherto unknown) cast were assembled on the basis of their musical skills first and any acting ability second, which is probably why so much ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The General [1998] starring: Brendan Gleeson, Adrian Dunbar, Sean McGinley, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Angeline Ball directed by: John Boorman August 14, 2006		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £8.01 (62%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.49
Martin Cahill was a real person. He didn't drink or smoke, had a loving if unconventional family life with his wife, her sister and their kids, didn't womanize. He also was clever, funny, charismatic, ruthless, and, up until the end, a successful Dublin criminal. He didn't see his crimes as vice, just as an occupation. In addition to hundreds of burglaries and thefts beginning when he was scarcely a teen, he was smart enough to pull off two immense robberies, the first involving a large number of gold bars and jewels, the other of extremely valuable paintings. He wound up on the bad side of the cops, of the IRA, of the Unionists and even of one of his gang members. John Boorman has written and directed a fascinating life of Martin Cahill, and in ...

Average Rating:	Moll Flanders [1997] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Robin Wright Penn, Morgan Freeman, Stockard Channing, John Lynch, Brenda Fricker directed by: Pen Densham January 09, 2001		Used Price:
Surprisingly child friendly for a Moll Flanders adaption. This is a really good film with a fantastic and harrowing tale. A good adaptation of the original, with a lovable main character, played by robin wright. Morgan Freeman also played his role excellently, with the same to be said for john lynch in his role as the artist. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, it's a must watch for anyone whether literary or not. For all those who enjoy a bit of drama. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Miss Julie [2000] starring: Saffron Burrows, Peter Mullan, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Tam Dean Burn, Heathcote Williams directed by: Mike Figgis April 23, 2001		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.58 You Save: £11.41 (71%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Miss Julie is a seriously excellent adaptation. Some might dislike its very stagey feel, but with the amount of utterly uninteresting plays I've seen lately, I could not have been more pleased! With only 3 proper characters (although we might add the silent presence of the Count), a set basically consisting of one room and some very intense dialogue, it's a very claustrophobic film. Saffron Burrows is quite spectacular, carrying the emotions of Miss Julie magnificently. And Julie is a pretty emotionally unstable gal! The passion, the anger and the vulnerability all explode onto the screen (the bird-scene is just pitch perfect) and leave Mullan, to be frank, a little behind. Still, his performance is subtle, even if it does not quite match Burrows'. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Gregory's Two Girls [1999] starring: Carly McKinnon, John Gordon Sinclair, John Murtagh, Hugh McCue, Dougray Scott directed by: Bill Forsyth June 07, 2004		Used Price: Â£7.50
John Gordon Sinclair is perfect as Gregory Underwood, the bumbling teacher with strong left-wing morals, and a desire to change the world - but lacking the get-up-and-go to actually do so. The main message of this film is one of making a difference, even if it's a small one. Mr. Underwood's infatuation with a schoolgirl is made more difficult to ignore when he becomes involved in her extra-curricular investigation into a local firm whom she believes is involved in manufacturing torture equipment. This is a very political film and accurately reflects the feeling of many fellow left-wing thinkers in this country who recognise the wrong in the world and dream of making a change - but never getting round to it. Anti-Americanism is dealt with perfectly, ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Nothing Personal [1996] starring: Ian Hart, John Lynch, James Frain, Michael Gambon, Gary Lydon directed by: Thaddeus O'Sullivan August 11, 2003		Used Price: Â£10.00
"Nothing Personal" is a film about the darkest days of the Northern Ireland Troubles in the mid 1970's, which even today it is almost taboo to discuss. It was the time of a vicious terrorist campaign by the Provisional IRA ,of no-go areas for the security forces, no- warning bombs, vicious rioting and a cut throat serial killing campaign by loyalist paramilitaries. "Nothing Personal" captures the mood of this very frightening time perfectly. The acting ,characterisation and cinematography are first rate and the "factional" story line gripping. Despite the grim,malevolent atmosphere of the film, there are moments of humour and a decent 70's soundtrack featuring some well known hits of the time. The attention to detail is well observed too ;the 70's fashions, the cut throats ... Read More: >>More Details
