Average Rating:	Gia [1998] starring: Angelina Jolie, Mercedes Ruehl, Elizabeth Mitchell, Faye Dunaway directed by: Michael Cristofer July 21, 2008		List Price: Â£7.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£6.98 You Save: £1.01 (13%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£5.97
I recently watched this and having not heard anything about the supermodel Gia Carangi was instantly blown away by Angelina Jolie's portrayal as Gia. You can see why Angelina won an Oscar a year later in her other great film Girl Interrupted. This sad and moving true story tries to explain why Gia did what she did. I won't spoil this for you but, this is not for the faint-hearted. I thought all the acting was great as was Faye Dunaway as Gia's Agent. Angelina's truly spellbinding in this film. Great film all round. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Big [1988] starring: Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, Robert Loggia, John Heard, Jared Rushton directed by: Penny Marshall October 13, 2003		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.08 You Save: £7.91 (61%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£7.99
Both myself and my wife,a middle-aged couple,thoroughly enjoyed this film.It's extremely lightweight with the storyline of a thirteen year old boy going to bed and waking up in a mans body.There's a couple of punchlines along the way but it's a family film and not a comedy.With a lesser actor than Tom Hanks,it might have failed miserably but at an hour and forty mins long,it's a pleasant way of passing the time.Still difficult to recommend as it is so lightweight. >>More Details

Average Rating:	84 Charing Cross Road [1986] starring: Anne Bancroft, Jean De Baer, Daniel Gerroll, Anthony Hopkins, Eleanor David directed by: David Jones May 20, 2002		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.97 You Save: £14.02 (70%) Prices subject to change. Used Price:
Authors are fond of saying that the written word can take people anywhere, thinking no doubt of the intense relationship that a reader can have with an engaging author's writing. 84 Charing Cross Road explores a different dimension of how the written word travels: the role of correspondence, a virtually lost art today. The movie deftly displays how you can share your heart with someone you've never met. The movie is based on 20 years of actual correspondence between New York author Helene Hanff and Frank Doel, the manager of a small London book store. Hanff's in-your-face New York energy and candor are what make the exchange meaningful to viewers. Hanff is a $40 a week script reader as the movie begins but has an affection for British ...

Average Rating:	The Fisher King [1991] starring: Robin Williams, Jeff Bridges, Mercedes Ruehl, Amanda Plummer directed by: Terry Gilliam February 06, 2006		Used Price: Â£3.06
I'm a big fan of Terry Gilliam and his surreal and often quirky films. He has a distinct eye for the absurd and the very weird, and he brings those talents to this film, creating an unique interpretation of Richard LaGravenese's story. The film follows a New York radio shock DJ, Jack Lucas (played with brilliant style by Jeff Bridges), as he is about the sign a lucrative deal that could win him fame and fortune throughout the US. Riding the waves of his new found fame and becoming increasingly arrogant, he makes an off-hand comment to a mentally unstable man which triggers a terrible tragedy. His career now in ruins, he is forced to work at a downtown video shop, where he wallows in self pity and turns to alcohol to avoid his ... Read More: >>More Details

Forget about watching the film in its entirety. It's like watching a screener made by someone sitting in the middle of the first row. Plus no extras, nothing. Very poor DVD. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Last Action Hero [1993] starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, F. Murray Abraham, Austin O'Brien, Art Carney, Charles Dance directed by: John McTiernan March 08, 2004		Used Price: Â£1.99
To sum up this film in one sentence I would say that it has an original and creative plotline, impressive action scenes and special effects, top quality acting and cameo appearances and a lot of witty humour. I loved this film as a kid, and even as I watch it now I still thoroughly enjoy it and understand a lot of more of the mature humour and in-jokes. I don't know why critics hate this film so much. The film is basically a comedy adventure that isn't taking itself too seriously and niether should its audience. There are a few moments of profound principlism and emotive plotlines, but generally, this film is a laugh. Arnie's acting is top notch and plays a character you generally start to really like, as well as the kid who doesn't overdo it too much on ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Gia [1998] starring: Angelina Jolie, Faye Dunaway, Elizabeth Mitchell, Mercedes Ruehl, Eric Michael Cole directed by: Michael Cristofer April 15, 2002		Used Price: Â£6.00
I bought this as all the girls talk about it, and as far as lesbian films go its alright, but some scenes are laughable. Gia and the make-up girl who so easily agreed to fling herself naked at a wire fence was a real howler, and surely for the sake of titilation. I thought a lot of the acting/dialogue was quite weak, but it is watchable, and the film improves through the second half. Dont expect wonders but with a glass of wine on a wednesday night quite enjoyable. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Another You [1991] starring: Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Mercedes Ruehl, Stephen Lang, Vanessa Williams directed by: Maurice Phillips February 06, 2006		Vegetarian Books Price: Â£6.97 Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.48
This film was to be the last made featuring the comedy duo of Pryor and Wilder and its not bad. Its by no means as good as Stir Crazy, few are, but I found it on par with See no Evil and condidering the condition of Pryor at the time,MS, he pulled out a good performance. The film actualy started out a bit poor and predictable but it did get better and funnier as it went along. One scene had Pryor at the beginning pretending to be a great street saxophanist,using a tape recorder, which is fairly corny, however it makes up for it later when Pryor is at a gig and a man who saw him playing earlier in the street scene is on stage playing guitar (looks VERY much like Andy Summers from the Police). He announces Pryor as one the GREAT saxaphone players ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Crazy People [1990] starring: Dudley Moore, Daryl Hannah, Paul Reiser, J.T. Walsh, Bill Smitrovich directed by: Barry L. Young, Tony Bill August 16, 2004		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.97 You Save: £8.02 (50%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.99
Crazy People is a one joke movie, but the joke is given enough amusing variations as a very unwell looking adman Dudley Moore (in a part he took over when mystifying original choice John Malkovich walked out) starts designing honest ad campaigns and finds himself committed to a mental hospital alongside several benignly stereotyped cuckoos (this is NOT an attempt at an accurate portrayal of mental health) only to draw them into his brutal-truth-in-advertising campaign when the concept catches on. Some of the mock ads are great ("Don't go to France. The French are annoying. Come to Greece instead - we're nicer."), although there is one that falls horribly flat for modern audiences due to events long after its production - in this case a campaign for United Airlines stressing the ...
