Average Rating:	David Copperfield [1999] starring: Emilia Fox, Pauline Quirke, Maggie Smith, John Normington, Daniel Radcliffe directed by: Simon Curtis August 20, 2001		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.68 You Save: £14.31 (72%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.00
'David Copperfield', is, by all respects, a brilliant story. It is partly autobiographical, but this gives the story an extra layer. The story of a man's development from boyhood to man is nothing new, and Dickens' novel sets his tale apart because of his emphatic understanding of human nature. This adaptation however, is fairly pedestrian in its handling of human emotions. Trevor Eve is perhaps, a little OTT and there is very little depth to his character, whilst I could say the same to Emilia Fox and Zoe Wannamaker. The real triumph of this adaption is, I feel, Maggie Smith's performance which is in a league of its own. Betsy Trotwood is a very likeable character anyway, but Smith is superb. The film is worth a look though, for ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Manhattan [1979] starring: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Mariel Hemingway, Michael Murphy, Meryl Streep directed by: Woody Allen July 10, 2000		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £11.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.00
I love art that conjures up a definite sense of place, and this film distills a romantic slither of New York. Woody Allen shows characters doing what they do in a city, going to bookshops, galleries and museums. They have conversations on the sidewalk, they meet in bars and department stores. Their lives are chaotic and fractured, and they seem to have so many choices and no real work. They long for things they can't have while putting up with the downside of city life: the noise of neighbours and brown water. Meryl Streep, Mariel Hemingway and Diane Keaton are very all sexy in this film. Woody is witty and torn between these three beauties. Half of him is a believable character, the other half is a wry and engaging comedian. Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Million Dollar Baby [2005] starring: Hilary Swank, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Jay Baruchel, Mike Colter directed by: Clint Eastwood June 27, 2005		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £15.01 (75%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£0.98
I didn't remember any of the hype around this film, and from watching the first 15 minutes I thought it was a female version of Rocky. Being in the dark meant I appreciated the full impact of this subtle and difficult film. Eastwood is a joy to watch on film, and his motivations and thoughts keep you riveted. Like his role in Unforgiven, he plays and ambiguous and complex character. Hilary Swank is a bit corny from time to time, but a few moments on the film grab you in the gut, and give you an insight into an extreme attitude to life - the sort of dedication required to be a top class athlete. I was knocked out - in a good way. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Scarlet And The Black [1983] starring: Gregory Peck, Christopher Plummer, John Gielgud, Raf Vallone, Kenneth Colley directed by: Jerry London August 11, 2003		List Price: Â£9.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.98 You Save: £2.01 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£7.37
This spellbinding made for TV film (starring Gregory Peck and Christopher Plummer) is based on J. P. Gallagher's book "The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican", the true life story of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, who saved roughly 4000 Jews and Allied POWs from Nazi occupied Rome. In 1943 O'Flaherty organises an enormous network of civilians, priests and nuns to save Jewish refugees and Allied POWs from the Nazis, hiding them in flats convents and churches in Rome to save them from the GeStaPo and Colonel Kappler. Kappler decides to have a white line drawn around the Vatican and check those entering and leaving but with many disguises O'Flaherty manages to slip the net and escape assassination attempts on his life. Of 9,700 Jews in Rome, 1,007 ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Assassin [1993] starring: Bridget Fonda, Gabriel Byrne, Dermot Mulroney, Miguel Ferrer, Anne Bancroft directed by: John Badham May 24, 1999		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£2.98 You Save: £10.01 (77%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.05
If you want a gritty film thats has a good storyline and fabulously acted parts then this is the one for you. Bridget plays a ruffian, a drug abusing lowlife who has taken part in a chemist shop slaying whilst her gang was looking for drugs. She is sentenced to death. They kill her by lethel injection. Then she wakes up, she has been offered a second chance in life but there are rules, she must behave, obey the rules and follow orders. Gabriel Burne plays the agent that recruited her and its his job to see she flies right and gets with the programme, the main incentive being of course the fact that she is already legally dead, if they wanted to kill her now for misbehaving no one would know any different. She has a talent for killing, use of ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	End Of Days [1999] starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gabriel Byrne, Robin Tunney, Kevin Pollak, CCH Pounder directed by: Peter Hyams August 01, 2005		List Price: Â£17.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £14.01 (78%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.60
End of days is a film that has had alot of criticism thrown at it and clearly some of it has stuck,it isnt a perfect film,there are flaws and holes in the storyline and the odd trick doesnt work but in terms of being dark and sinister this film has it nailed on. Arnie pops up as a beaten down drunk who has lost his faith and much more besides,gabe byrne plays the devil who needs to concieve the spawn of satan and unlock the gates of hell,both forces are sure to meet. The film has some good ideas,while not always realised there is plenty to admire,the violence is good and the pace of the film is lively enough,there is room for sentiment also as arnie has his flaws and is far from a 'terminator' here,as another reviewer stated this compares to other films and ...

Average Rating:	Tomorrow Never Dies [1997] starring: Pierce Brosnan, Desmond Llewelyn, Al Matthews, Terence Rigby, Pip Torrens directed by: Roger Spottiswoode October 20, 2008		List Price: Â£14.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£9.28 You Save: £5.71 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£6.75
The history of the latter Bond films is one of false dawns, with sporadic good or near-great Bond films promptly followed by horribly disappointing ones. OHMSS was followed by the lazy Diamonds Are Forever, The Spy Who Loved Me by Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only by Octopussy, and sadly Pierce Brosnan's enjoyable Bond debut GoldenEye remained true to form in being followed by another clunker. Tomorrow Never Dies was a famously troubled shoot, with a constantly rewritten unfinished script the most visible of its many problems. It's that classic `inbetween good Bonds' film that just feels like its treading water while they recharge their creative batteries for the next one. The premise may sound absurd - Jonathan Pryce's media mogul tries to start a war in Asia to boost circulation ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Vampyres [1974] starring: Marianne Morris, Anulka Dziubinska, Murray Brown, Brian Deacon, Sally Faulkner directed by: JosÃ© RamÃ³n Larraz June 23, 2003		List Price: Â£16.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.58 You Save: £12.41 (73%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.86
You can't help laughing when you see a big dumb schmuck completely ignoring the age-old rule; never pick up hitch-hikers - especially when it's dusk, there's two of them, and they're only 100 yards from where they live. It'll end in tears... Employing the tried and tested trick of ugly-one-hides-in-the-bushes-while-fit-one-flashes-thigh-at-horny-motorist (only in this case, there is no ugly one) the two thirsty sirens of Joseph Larraz' pleasingly notorious 'Vampyres' enjoy an enviable success rate among the sideburn fizzogged wallies in their Lionel's and bling. Luring them with innuendo to the trusty mansion house, there to suck the life-blood (and everything else!) out of them during delirious, hysterical orgies. This pair make Caligula look coy -naked in seconds, frantic ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Saint [1997] starring: Val Kilmer, Elisabeth Shue, Rade Serbedzija, Valeri Nikolayev, Henry Goodman directed by: Phillip Noyce December 04, 2000		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.58 You Save: £8.41 (65%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.39
Let's start at the beginning, if you're expecting a Roger Moore/Ian Ogilvy portrayal of Simon Templar then you're going to be disappointed. If you want James Bond with a halo, you're going to be disappointed. But having said that the movie is not disappointing, but very good. The film just couldn't be like the old TV series, the world has moved on and the old style cannot be replicated if it wants to appeal to a new audience. Kilmer presents a very different Saint, one that is refreshing and you get the sense that Leslie Charteris' original basis for his hero was drawn upon. Kilmer's international master criminal, master of most, but not all disguises is very entertaining, if somewhat innocent. Elisabeth Shue provides the love interest, and the two work well ...

Average Rating:	Cool World, The [1992] starring: Gabriel Byrne, Kim Basinger, Brad Pitt, Michele Abrams, Deirdre O'Connell directed by: Ralph Bakshi December 15, 2003		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £11.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.68
Ralph Bakshi's half-live-action-half-animated 'Cool World' is a much maligned film, and (I think) unfairly so. Whilst lacking the polish of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Cool World is instead darker in tone, and far more anarchic. Whilst the plot may sometimes be incidental, the designs are often stunning, particularly the cityscapes of Cool World and it's maniacal, axe-wielding inhabitants. Not least however, the animated Kim Basinger character 'Holli Would' is a knockout. Add to this Gabriel Byrne and Brad Pitt, and a truly crazy finale, I say ignore the critics and make up your own mind. >>More Details
