Average Rating:	The Name Of The Rose [1987] starring: Sean Connery, Christian Slater, Helmut Qualtinger, Elya Baskin, Michael Lonsdale directed by: Jean-Jacques Annaud July 01, 2006		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £8.01 (62%) Prices subject to change.
This is a splendidly crafted film which makes much use of atmosphere and colour. It is set in early medieval times in the backdrop of a rather forbidding northern Italian monastery, and one really does get a sense of the the cold stone chill and mirthlessness of the place. The main characters are William of Baskerville and his novice, Adso of Melk (superbly played by Sean Connery and Christian Slater respectively), but much of the films richness is derived from the astonishing assortment of supporting characters (I defy anyone to name an uglier or more freakish collection of human beings anywhere in the history of cinema). At the simplest level, the story is a whodunnit in which William, aided by Adso, seek to discover the truth ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Moonraker [1979] starring: Roger Moore, Michael Lonsdale, Lois Chiles, Richard Kiel, Corinne Clery directed by: Lewis Gilbert October 20, 2008		List Price: Â£14.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£9.98 You Save: £5.01 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.75
For some reason this film is seen as a complete joke, something which it isn't. Alright I must admit the ending with Jaws and his lady friend is like a under budget comedy, the rest of the film is quite good! If it's entertainment your after, Moonraker will certainly satisfy. And there are plenty of extras too including a new commentary with Roger Moore and many featurettes from the time. So you might as well give it another chance. Show you kids what Bond was like! I must admit, I'm debating whether Moonraker is better than the Quantum of Solace or not! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Ronin [1998] starring: Robert De Niro, Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone, Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd, Sean Bean directed by: John Frankenheimer February 01, 2000		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £11.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£1.24
This film left me with the distinct feeling of having been ripped-off. A poster featuring some very purposeful-looking criminal types, a European setting, a famous director - there initially appeared to be much on offer. The reality, however, was quite different. In this mindless mess of a movie, Robert De Niro reprises his stock `90s role of gun-toting anti-hero and, in the company of a ragbag of international B-listers, takes a trip into the heart, not of darkness, but of dullness. The basic story is, well, pretty basic. The film consists mostly of a series of ridiculous stand-offs and arguments between De Niro and the other players, who comprise a gang engaged in some kind of convoluted theft. Oh, and there are couple of car-chases - wow! Jean Reno becomes ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	James Bond Ultimate Roger Moore - Live And Let Die/The Man With The Golden Gun/The Spy Who Loved Me/Moonraker/For Your Eyes Only/Octopussy/A View To A Kill starring: Roger Moore, Desmond Llewelyn, Topol, Carole Bouquet, Louis Jourdan directed by: Guy Hamilton, Lewis Gilbert, John Glen November 27, 2006		List Price: Â£49.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£38.97 You Save: £11.02 (22%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£39.99
Collecting the seven movies featuring `official' Bond number three, Roger Moore: Live And Let Die: Roger Moore's debut in the role of James Bond is a pleasingly dated blaxploitation pastiche, which, though it has not aged well, still endures as an oddball 1970s' crime thriller. Yaphet Kotto's villain is well-played, Jane Seymour is gorgeous as Solitaire, and the alligator farm sequence and resulting speedboat chase are two of the series' most famous scenes. Also, Paul McCartney's theme song is possibly the series' all time best. The Man With The Golden Gun: Moore's second film in the series is possibly the series all-time worst; like Diamonds Are Forever, it forsakes plot logic and any attempts at realism for low-brow comedy, daft homage ...

Average Rating:	James Bond - Moonraker (Ultimate Edition 2 Disc Set) [1979] starring: Roger Moore, Michael Lonsdale, Lois Chiles, Richard Kiel, Corinne Clery directed by: Lewis Gilbert July 17, 2006		Used Price: Â£4.50
The reason why this movie is great is because it packs alot of action into 2 hours and the viewer is never left bored. It is the most cartoonish of all the Bond movies reaching its peak of silliness right off the bat with Jaws, returning from The Spy Who Loved Me, surviving a freefall from an airplane. The absurdity is made all the more tragic in that it follows one of, if not the most spectacular Bond opening in the entire series. Moonraker is a movie with sky high highlights and some pretty bad lowlights. The pre-credit sequence with Bond being shoved from an airplane sans parachute is thrilling and leads into the spectacular Moonraker theme sung by Shirley Bassey. This movie may have the best musical score of any of the Bond movie and that is no small feat. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Goya's Ghosts [2006] starring: Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, Javier Bardem, Randy Quaid, Michael Lonsdale directed by: Milos Forman September 10, 2007		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.98 You Save: £14.01 (70%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.99
This is a haunting, visually-striking, absorbing film. Set in Spain just before and then during the Napoleonic War it centres on the life and work of the celebrated artist Francisco Goya. Stellan Skarsgard turns in an excellent performance in this role, far from the sort we usually se him in, but in terms of impact the main character is the fanatic Lorenzo. Javier Bardem turns in a stellar performance as a softly-spoken well-mannered man who gives the impression of having a soft human side but who is capable of the most extreme cruelty (all for a higher cause, of course): the sort of man who over dinner will calmly explain that it is perfectly in order for the Inquisition to use confessions obtained by torture as proof of guilt because God will give the innocent the strength to withstand the pain. The relationship ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	5 X 2 [2004] starring: Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Stephane Freiss, Geraldine Pailhas, Francoise Fabian, Michael Lonsdale directed by: Francois Ozon September 12, 2005		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.97 You Save: £12.02 (60%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.28
This is a flawed film, but I still recommend it be watched at least once. The acting is superb, but the real star is the script, or rather, what is missing from the script. With each new scene I flipped back and forth between sympathising for one or other of the characters, and this is the films success, you aren't supposed to feel for either, they are real people, each has wronged the other in ways you can see, but also in ways you do not learn about, I wasn't sure how much they knew about each others infidelities and feelings. Apart from not having a clear cut stance on who the blame lies with for the breakdown of a relationship, it also proves that every story has a happy ending, the thing is to stop at the right time, before it all turns to dust. The fact that I watched two people tear each other to shreds but ... Read More: >>More Details
