Average Rating:	The Big Chill [1983] starring: Tom Berenger, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, William Hurt, Kevin Kline directed by: Lawrence Kasdan June 07, 1999		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £7.02 (54%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.50
This is a very subtle film. It has a broad canvass of characters who once were at university together, but each one engages you as a different career path, or a different example of how things can work out. Death brings them all together, as I think it does to groups every so often in life. The reactions reveal the hollowness, wisdom or dissatisfactions of their own personal life choices or misfortunes. Some of the film is contrived, some of it becomes a bit far-fetched, but the warmth and intelligence of the movie is not in doubt. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Two Jakes [1990] starring: Jack Nicholson, Harvey Keitel, Meg Tilly, Madeleine Stowe, Eli Wallach directed by: Jack Nicholson March 04, 2002		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £9.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£60.00
The film stars Jack Nicholson as a detective in post-war California. While working on a case involving adultery, the husband (Keitel) kills the other man involved and things get complicated. The plot is then littered with twists and turns in something of the style of Chinatown but with nowhere near the same elegance of execution. While it does pick up after about an hour and has some interesting scenes there are also some embarrassing flashbacks to the first film which are scrappily tacked on to link the two and strange camera angles which seem to be added in for no reason. To put it plainly, it's badly shot and directed. Watching an old and unfit Nicholson run in one scene while dressed in a similar suit ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Psycho Collection [1960] starring: Anthony Perkins, Roberta Maxwell, Henry Thomas, Olivia Hussey, Donna Mitchell directed by: Anthony Perkins, Alfred Hitchcock, Richard Franklin, Mick Garris October 20, 2003		List Price: Â£34.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£12.98 You Save: £22.01 (63%) Prices subject to change.

Psycho (5 stars) is a great movie and hasn't dated too badly. It's worthy of its reputation for being a classic. Psycho II (4 stars) is a solid horror movie with interesting plot developments. A lot of its power comes from the 22 year time difference from the original, which the film uses to great effect. Some of the special effects are a bit ropy (the fake hands that get stabbed) while there are some very striking crane shots in the movie (such as the camera gliding from the attic window down to a basement window). Psycho III (3 stars), set a month after the second film, is slow and doesn't have any plot beyond standard slasher movie semi-random murders. It's not bad, but it's nothing special either. Psycho IV (1 ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Valmont [1990] starring: Meg Tilly, Fairuza Balk, Colin Firth, Sian Phillips, Henry Thomas directed by: Milos Forman February 25, 2008		List Price: Â£5.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.89 You Save: £0.10 ( 2%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
This lavish retelling of Les Liaisons Dangereuses stars Annette Benning as the Marquise de Merteuil, a nasty aristocrat who delights in manipulating those around her. She is outraged when her lover makes plans to marry the young and virtuous Cecile,(who is in love with her music teacher), so she engages the services of the notorious playboy the Vicomte de Valmont to cuckold him. Before he can do it, however, Valmont falls in love with a proper, married woman, Madame de Tourvel. Learning of this, Merteuil bets Valmont that he can't bed Tourvel, and he happily takes up the challenge. The plot was so complex that I needed a scorecard to keep straight who was doing what to whom and why. All the action swirls around Benning's Merteuil and she's malicious and ...

Average Rating:	Body Snatchers [1993] starring: Gabrielle Anwar, Meg Tilly, Forest Whitaker, Terry Kinney, Billy Wirth directed by: Abel Ferrara November 22, 2004		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£2.98 You Save: £10.01 (77%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.00
I first watched this film when I was about fourteen and have vivid, although somewhat cringy memories of re-enacting with my friend, the method which the alien body snatchers use to identify the real humans, i.e, pointing and screaming like a fog horn. Not my finest hour, but my point is, that this film left a lasting impression and watching it again recently made me realise how scary it really is. You might well know the plot line, since there are so many re-makes, but to sum up: Family move to army base- soon people start acting strangely, or are taken away screaming into the night. The body snatchers are here and they want you! One of the eeriest moments is when the female lead, Marty's younger brother does a picture at nursery and it becomes ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Valmont [1990] starring: Meg Tilly; Fairuza Balk; Colin Firth; Sian Phillips; Henry Thomas; Jeffrey Jones; Annette Bening directed by: Milos Forman April 02, 2007		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£11.08 You Save: £4.91 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£5.97
Both "Valmont" and "Dangerous Liasons" are fabulous films. I personally prefer "Valmont". The casting for this film is fantastic. Colin Firth makes a much more charming and handsome `Valmont' who knows how to use the 'art of seduction' to his advantage. Annette Benning is a scheming and beautiful `de Merteuil'. The mood of this film is more feel-good than 'Dangerous Liasons'; it contains more playful humour and the imagery (especially in the outdoors) is amazing. With `Dangerous Liasons'; the characters (played by Glenn Close and John Malkovich) were more sinister and less likeable (I guess it depends what mood you're in). Overall: Highly recommended. >>More Details

Psycho needs no intoduction as a great Hitchcock and iconic film all of its own which is hailed as one of the greatest of all time. It was deliberately filmed in black and white and the complete change in direction of the plot half way through is still a jolt on repeated viewings. A masterpiece. Over 20 years passed before the sequel, Psycho II, appeared. An uneviable task. This is the story of Norman, probably the screen's most sympathetic slasher villain. Anthony Perkins again delivers a superb performance as the nervous, twitchy, unsettled Norman. Proving there is a fine line between good and bad Norman, who is rehabilitated by this point, is pushed back into his old ways and is back menancingly standing over his Motel again at the end. Jerry Goldsmiths excellent ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Agnes of God starring: Jane Fonda, Anne Bancroft, Meg Tilly, Anne Pitoniak, Winston Rekert directed by: Norman Jewison October 13, 2003		Used Price: Â£4.00
AGNES OF GOD is perhaps best appreciated by Roman Catholics. Meg Tilly stars as a young woman who's recently given birth to, and apparently murdered, her baby. No surprise there, except that she also happens to be a young nun, Sister Agnes, tightly cloistered in a French Canadian convent. Agnes has no memory of the deed, so Jane Fonda plays the court-appointed psychologist, Dr. Livingston, tasked with unearthing the facts of the matter. Who was the biological father? How did he breach the convent's walls to gain access to Agnes and impregnate her? What were the circumstances of the birth and killing? Anne Bancroft plays the head of the religious house, who apparently knows more than she's telling. Livingston won't be stopped, and the Mother Superior is indomitable. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Psycho II [1983] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, Meg Tilly, Robert Loggia, Dennis Franz directed by: Richard Franklin September 13, 2005		Used Price: Â£3.62
The idea of doing a sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's classic "Pyscho" is not a stupid idea. Doing a shot for shot remake of the original is a stupid idea. But the idea of Norman Bates coming home 22 years later having been declared cured and released from the mental institution where we assume he never even hurt a fly during all that time, is certainly an interesting idea. The only other character it would be interesting to see when they got back out and tried to pick up where they left off from would be Brigid O'Shaughnessy, and that is never go to happen (I have dibs on the first draft). Anyhow, Norman has been released and is working at a local diner in town, where he makes friends with Mary Samuels (Meg Tilly), a young waitress. But Lila Loomis (Vera Miles), the ...
