This box set, along with Abigail's Party and Happy-Go-Lucky (both available separately), will give you a comprehensive - and comprehensively moving and hilarious - understanding of Mike Leigh's vision. He's always painted in broad strokes, with sometimes heavy-handed caricatures, but within those strokes are subtle moments of great emotional truth, and this set proves how versatile Leigh has been within different genres. A bargain and a treasure.

Sorry, but much as i bow down to the masterpieces that are 'Secrets and Lies's and 'Naked', this is a 'Mike Leigh' too far...On the 'plus'side, you get to see Sally Hawkin's magnificent legs (in a denim mini-skirt)after the mistake that was 'Happy Go Lucky', but this film is TOO relentlessly bleak and risks dangerously overexposing the 'great' Timothy Spalls' talents, used to such devestating effect in 'Secrets..' and 'Life is Sweet' (average film, but saved by the restaurant scenes with 'Aubrey')

There's a reason why they talk about the "Voice of an Angel" -- it's because Charlotte Church certainly doesn't have the acting presence of one. Her acting debut "I'll Be There" is proof enough -- only the presence of its star got this tepid little drama into theatres, where it rapidly dropped out of sight. Rightly so.

Seventeen years ago, Paul Kerr (Craig Ferguson) of the Love Rats had a fling with a groupie at a concert. Fast forward to the present: Kerr discovers that unknown to him, his ex Rebecca (Jemma Redgrave) gave birth to a daughter, Olivia (Charlotte Church), who is now a well-adjusted paper girl.

The problem is, Olivia has been kept a secret from her dad. Rebecca is embittered, but Kerr wants to get to know his daughter, ... Read More:

This contains all six episodes of series one of DANGERFIELD. Dr Paul Dangerfield (Nigel Le Vaillant, CASUALTY) is supposed to be a doctor in a medical practice in Warwickshire, but, much to the annoyance of colleague Dr Joanna Stevens (Amanda Redman, NEW TRICKS) and the rest of the staff there, he keeps being tied up with his other duties as a police surgeon, thus leaving the practice almost endlessly short-staffed.

As if holding two jobs like this wasn't enough, Paul is also having to bring up two teenage children -- Al (Lisa Faulkner) and Marty (Sean Maguire) -- without their mother after an accident claimed her life. However, he has a place in his heart for courtroom attorney Kate Durrani (Kim Vithana), with whom he has a relationship that seems to ... Read More:

Meantime [1984]


starring: Marion Bailey, Tim Roth, Phil Daniels, Pam Ferris, Jeff Robert
directed by: Mike Leigh
August 22, 2005


Nothing happens in this film. Everything happens in this film. Every viewer will have their own opinion on this, but this one thinks it a largely unsung masterpiece. There is no acting on show, merely people convincingly living the life they will always lead. Nothing happens in The Royle Family either...
