This type of show does not come along often enough. Well written, superbly acted, fast paced, compelling and thought provoking. You are hooked after the first 5 minutes. It was late and my husband and I made the mistake of thinking we would only watch about 20 minutes of an episode. We were riveted to our chairs for the entire hour. I'm not even sure we blinked. To those having trouble hearing it, on the "Desktop" at the beginning, use your up, down, left or right remote keys and navigate over to the phone and hit Play. It will give you an option of stereo (2) or monaural (I think, the computer voice is hard to understand) (5). We found it easier to understand on (2) stereo. Then pick the episode you want to watch. Bottom line: This is a great ... Read More: >>More Details

I love this movie, have watched it numerous times and will continue to watch it. Yes, it is different to the Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth adaptation (that one is 'pefection'?) and that is the point - be prepered for something different to the Ehle/Firth version. The cast had a lot to live up to and they do a "capital" job in this adaptation. The soundtrack is SUPERB. There are very good additional notes and interviews on the dvd. An all round great movie and package - highly recommended! >>More Details

This was on my Christmas wish list and unfortunately I was actually given it! What an absolute pile of utter trash. Appallingly researched, utterly tasteless and not even vaguely humorous. Don't even be tempted if you find this at a boot sale for 5p - it ain't worth the cost of electricity to play the wretched thing! >>More Details

Ordered this in error as located in the middle of the ENIGMA music DVDs, but kept it. If you are into war time films, this is a very good one. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Way We Live Now [2001] starring: David Suchet, Cillian Murphy, Matthew MacFadyen, Paloma Baeza, Shirley Henderson October 02, 2006		List Price: Â£24.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£10.38 You Save: £14.61 (58%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£16.84
I don't understand the poor reviews. I've read the novel many times (it's one I'd take to my desert island), and yes, a lot has been left out, but the performances of David Suchet and Shirley Henderson alone make this a 5* in my opinion. Outstanding, both of them, and Matthew McFadyen was also excellent as Sir Felix. >>More Details

I am not so naive as to believe that all New Zealand is like this depressing place, though I myself have only spent one day off a ship in that country (Auckland) and that back in 1969. This town has people living in dreadful, tacky little bungalows in a kind of nightmarish one-horse-town surburbia. The film has won many awards, which should have warned me off. Take the cinematography: yes, excellent in places, but what were the director or camera people doing cutting off the tops of people's heads etc? I saw no artistic point to that. And the sound quality of the dialogue is dreadful, especially at the beginning. Mumbletown. As to the plot, which revolved around the sentimental journey home of a shocked war photographer and the disappearance of ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Perfect Strangers [2001] starring: Michael Gambon, Lindsay Duncan, Matthew Macfadyen, Claire Skinner, Toby Stephens directed by: Stephen Poliakoff February 09, 2004		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£14.98 You Save: £5.01 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£7.00
In "Almost Strangers," Stephen Poliakoff weaves a subtle spell. I recall thoroughly enjoying the engaging story and the superb acting--after all, one cannot miss with Michael Gambon, Matthew Macfadyen, and Toby Stephens--when, totally unawares, I had become so entranced with the stories within the story of an extended family, that I had to watch all 237 minutes of it at one sitting. Since the story is told from the point of view of Daniel (the son of the black sheep of the clan), who knows very little about the rest of the family, the viewer is put into a similar position, first of discomfort, as he confronts the stereotypes concomittant with meeting strangers, and finally of fascinated affection, as he slowly unravels the startling secrets not only of his family ...

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:	Spartacus [2004] starring: Goran Visnjic, Alan Bates, Angus Macfadyen, Rhona Mitra, Ian McNeice October 25, 2004		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £9.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
2004 mini-series Spartacus is certainly a good-looking production, with a vividly recreated Rome and visually impressive direction from Robert Dornhelm, but never quite clicks. Rather than going back completely to history, this is based on Howard Fast's novel that formed the basis of the Kirk Douglas-Stanley Kubrick film, so rather than the roaming band of looters sacking small towns that were ultimately defeated because of a fatally divided command (Spartacus could never get his Germanic troops to follow his strategy) you have another allegory about the thirst for freedom from tyranny. In reality Spartacus had plenty of opportunities to escape from the Empire but passed them up in favor of more pillaging. To be fair the miniseries does attempt to address this, as well as including ... Read More: >>More Details
