Average Rating:	Working Girl [1988] starring: Sigourney Weaver, Harrison Ford, Melanie Griffith, Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack directed by: Mike Nichols March 06, 2006		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £9.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.38
From the sweeping opening scene, with that classic 'Let the River Run' playing across it, to the closing camera pan-out, with Griffiths in her office, fading into a wall of similar offices, a great film. There is a similar vein to 'Educating Rita', with the underdog, stuck where everyone else thinks she's happy, breaking out and making something of it. But this is a US film, with a lot of hairspray (oh, the 80s!), immature corporate bosses, the superbitch, and none of them have time for the secretary with ideas and a brain. The killer scene is where Weaver's character is confronted and suddenly cannot talk her way out. The big scene though is where it dawns on Griffiths that she is the boss, not the secretary - a recurring ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Now And Then [1996] starring: Christina Ricci, Rosie O'Donnell, Thora Birch, Melanie Griffith, Gaby Hoffmann directed by: Lesli Linka Glatter June 28, 2004		List Price: Â£14.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£6.38 You Save: £8.61 (57%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Used to watch this all the time when I was a kid - bought it recently and after 5 years of not watching, it was like revisiting an old friend. This is the kind of movie that makes you feel happy for days - essential. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Lolita [1998] starring: Jeremy Irons, Dominique Swain, Melanie Griffith, Frank Langella, Suzanne Shepherd directed by: Adrian Lyne May 08, 2000		Used Price: Â£7.91
Kubrick's 1962 film hardly managed to hint at the real sordidness that surely comes with such an affair at the centre of this story, and hardly touched on the inner turmoil of professor Humbert. While Kubrick was very restricted in what sort of movie he could make, which more or less decided the wry, lightly satirical tone of his movie, Lyne of course was afforded much more licence to get to the nitty gritty of the story and make it more graphic and more intense, in other words more realistic. He indeed goes for a very intense and vivid narrative, and naturally enough the satirical side, a thing which was an instrinsic part of the novel, is brushed aside completely. With such a full on depiction of their relationship it would have been very difficult ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Shining Through [1992] starring: Michael Douglas, Melanie Griffith, Liam Neeson, Joely Richardson, John Gielgud directed by: David Seltzer June 30, 2003		List Price: Â£5.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.88 You Save: £0.11 ( 2%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.79
This film is spectacularly awful. Let's get that straight from the off. Melanie Griffith proves once again that her performances in Something Wild and Working Girl were total flukes as she sleepwalks through this appalling piece of mis-casting. Captain Flappy-jowls, Michael Douglas, is equally bad but for different reasons - He seems to think he's in a good film (not the ludicrous cartoon this really is) and throws himself into badly written scenes with gay abandon and a recklessness that would be admirable if it weren't so misplaced. Having said all that, this is without a doubt one of the finest unintentional comedies ever made and a total laff-fest from start to finish. HIGHLY recommended. Double-bill it with John Badham's equally hilarious piece of junk, Incognito, ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Celebrity [1999] starring: Kenneth Branagh, Judy Davis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Greg Mottola, Jeff Mazzola directed by: Woody Allen June 15, 2006		List Price: Â£14.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £10.01 (67%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Celebrity follows the ups and downs of a divorced couple as they try to find their way in a post-marriage world. To this end, we see Judy Davis as she hooks up with Joe Mantegna and makes a new career for herself; and Kenneth Branagh as he flits from gorgeous woman to gorgeous woman and tries to decide whether he's a journalist, a novelist or a screenwriter. At first, it was kind of weird to see Woody Allen looking so physically different and acting with such an increased range, but then I realised I was actually watching Kenneth Branagh doing a pitch-perfect impersonation of Woody at his nervous, neurotic best. Branagh is very good, and it's fascinating watching him capture so many of Allen's idiosyncrasies, but it's also a little odd, as though he's being controlled ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Stuart Little 2 [2002] starring: Michael J. Fox, Geena Davis, Hugh Laurie, Jonathan Lipnicki, Anna Hoelck directed by: Rob Minkoff November 25, 2002		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.97 You Save: £12.02 (60%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£0.79
My 2yo loved Stuart Little I and II, but the second film contains the death of a very major character - the 'bad' falcon. The first film showed 'baddies' getting their come-uppance, but, in typical kids-film style, always made clear that they weren't really hurt, learned their lesson etc. The second film doesn't do this - the falcon falls from a very great height after a fatal collision, crashes out of sight inside a bin, and a hungry cat jumps up on the edge licking his lips! After several viewings, my child picked up on this and got distressed. Great films, full of humour and charm, but who really wants to explain death to a toddler? >>More Details

Average Rating:	Pacific Heights [1990] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Melanie Griffith, Matthew Modine, Michael Keaton, Mako, Nobu McCarthy directed by: John Schlesinger December 28, 1999		Used Price: Â£3.69
Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine portray a young couple wanting to make a real estate investment, so they purchase a Pacific Heights building, and proceed to renovate it. They are not yet married. Griffith still looked good here (prior recent surgeries) Matt Modine is also a sympathetic character. There is a brief cameo with Beverly D'Angelo, who does not have enough of a part. She usually adds something to most films she is in. Keaton is a mysterious tenant, who offers Modine an all cash deposit and drives late model Jaguar. Although there were several other eligible tenants, Modine opts for Keaton as he seems to have a lot of cash, and is reliable (The operative phrase here is "seems to be"). Basically strange occurrences crop up, Keaton is a sort of con-man, with ... Read More: >>More Details

Poor Jeff Daniels, his life will never be the same again! Everything that can go wrong does for him with a girl who does exactly what she wants. Quirky, unusual, tense in places funny in others, but what a sap! 7/10 >>More Details

Average Rating:	Stormy Monday starring: Melanie Griffith, Sean Bean, Tommy Lee Jones, Sting April 10, 2006		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.97 You Save: £11.02 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
This sultry movie set in Tyneside moves at a slow and gentle pace yet this only seems to add to the jazz atmospheric backdrop. I'm not a huge jazz fan but I couldn't help admiring the music score. Well worth a look - it depends on the mood you're in. Sean Bean is dependable as Brendan, but watch out for Sting who steals the limelight. >>More Details
