Average Rating:	New Tricks : Complete BBC Series 3 [2007] starring: Alun Armstrong, James Bolam, Amanda Redman, Dennis Waterman, Susan Jameson directed by: Juliet May, Rob Evans, Roberto Bangura May 14, 2007		List Price: Â£24.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£10.98 You Save: £14.01 (56%) Prices subject to change.

I have all the New Tricks volumes and this keeps up the standard of the others. The acting is wonderful and the stories a mixture of light comedy and serious plot. So why oh why did the producers need to put in the backgound music - the single key piano playing, and synthesised violin trying to create pathos? It is just not necessary and in fact spoils the viewing when you become aware of it. Apart from that it is brilliant >>More Details

I was once asked a question in a pub quiz: name the TV comedy in which Penelope Keith and Richard Briers play an unhappy married couple...and of course, everyone else chose 'The Good Life', but no, it was this - a glorious filmed version of the Alan Ayckbourn stage play that helped to make Penelope Keith a major TV star. She plays a neurotic, sexually repressed, but sexually curious housewife, and it's an astonishing performance - at one point, she's losing her temper - well, she's losing it completely, but she's screaming and shrieking whilst simultaneously folding napkins into beautiful little fan shapes. No-one does physical comedy quite like her, and if you have a couple of evenings to spare, this set of DVDs is a reminder of quite how good ... Read More: >>More Details

I have loved this film since I first saw it as a child. The sense of menace and foreboding which hangs over it is truly disturbing, as are the flashes of savage violence. The 'Bright Eyes' moment about half way through turns the supposed death of Hazel into one of the most moving moments in cinema history, and the 'Black Rabbit of Inle' ending is hardly less moving. Bigwig, Hazel and Fiver are brought to life with a huge amount of warmth and 'humanity'. Before reading the book I always thought the gull Keehar rather embarrassing, with his strange Middle-East-sounding accent, but after reading the book I think he actually is supposed to sound like this and I have come to really like the characterisation. I always found ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Much Ado About Nothing [1993] starring: Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson, Keanu Reeves, Kate Beckinsale, Richard Briers directed by: Kenneth Branagh May 21, 1999		Used Price: Â£3.00
Flicking through my recommendations on Amazon today I came across this. Well I bought it when it first came out on DVD so thought I would add my voice to those other reviews about the quality. I won't say to much about the film. For me it was very, very enjoyable. Well acted (a pleasure to see so many British stars mixed with those from across the pond), well directed (the scene where Beatrice and Benedict are 'captured' by the trap is superb), with good music and wonderful scenery. Such a shame then that the DVD is so sloppily put together. In Mono only! No scene selection. No 'making of'. No directors' comments. Surely the time has come for a new edition? I have most of Kenneth Branagh's work and enjoyed immensely his ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Mary Shelley's Frankenstein [1994] starring: Robert De Niro, Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Hulce, Aidan Quinn directed by: Kenneth Branagh March 08, 2004		List Price: Â£5.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £2.01 (34%) Prices subject to change.

This is an awful adaptation. It bastardizes the essence of Shelley's novel. While the novel nurtures a moral dilemma at its heart, this destroys it. (This cannot be demonstrated better than when the monster rips out Elizabeth's heart, serving as an apt metaphor for the film ripping out the heart of the text). The sympathy for the monster which Shelley really draws on is completely undercut in the film by the monster's portrayal as a cold blooded murderer wanting an unjustified amount of revenge...it ignores the reasons behind his sadness, ignoring the carefully crafted manipulation which Shelley plays with the reader's own preconceived ideas. Among the monstrosities are the changing of the monster's final speech when Victor had died, which should have been ... Read More: >>More Details

I saw two episodes when a friend bought this set round one night and really enjoyed the easygoing scripts, the affection and rapport between the characters, and the clever undercurrents always just beneath the surface. I ordered it for myself and spent a very pleasant couple of months steadily going through the whole run and also the final special. I loved it all. It was a comedy for grown ups from the theme music onwards and was rewarding to enjoy. Subtlety is missing from much of today's tv, and this shows up so much of the comedies on offer these days. I found myself wondering how such a comedy would be done today, 20 years after it actually aired! The extras are light and trivial but little nuggets of their time. Appearances on the Wogan show are squeezed on and although ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	As You Like It [2006] starring: Bryce Dallas Howard, Alfred Molina, Brian Blessed, Kevin Kline, Adrian Lester directed by: Kenneth Branagh February 25, 2008		List Price: Â£17.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £13.01 (72%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£4.08
Kenneth Branagh's film of As You Like It received a pretty cool critical reception as I remember. Amazon reviewers don't appear to be overwhelmed either. I came to it with low expectations but enjoyed it far more than I ever hoped I would. Yes - the 19th century Japanese setting is a bit of a problem. It is hardy what one expects to encounter in this play. The (Sumo) wrestling scene is frankly comical - I don't think Shakespeare intended us laugh hysterically at this point! More worryingly, Branagh tries to carry the Japanese setting over into the Forest of Arden. The main problem is that this is one of Shakespeare's most English plays. There are more songs in this play than in any other he wrote, though few of them make it into the film. We only get one verse ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Peter's Friends [1992] starring: Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, Kenneth Branagh, Alphonsia Emmanuel directed by: Kenneth Branagh November 19, 2001		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£4.98 You Save: £8.01 (62%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.40
I have seen this film once and it was one time too many. Sure it is well acted and there are some fine performances, but it is utterly depressing and without hope. The characters seem embroiled in a sense of impending doom and whilst I do not ask for happy clappy Disney traits in all films, this one lack anything of note. It is not funny in any way shape or form and should be avoided at all costs. If you like Stephen Fry, buy the Blackadder series or a Bit of Fry and Laurie. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Good Life - Series 2 [1975] starring: Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal, Penelope Keith, Paul Eddington, Bruce Bould March 15, 2004		List Price: Â£24.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£11.97 You Save: £13.02 (52%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£13.25
It's an old show, just watch the flares and ancient Volvo's fly past, not a sight of a mobile phone, P.C. or television in some cases. But the comedy, the characters and situations are as fresh today as they were in the 70's. I think it's so refreshing to watch a T.V. show depicting that couples can be happy together, united and committed, instead of todays nonstop image of cheating partners and soup opera fights. Many stories do stretch the imagination as we all know that life isn't that goody goody, but it's nice to think it could be. If you have been living on Mars for 30 years and have not ever seen this show then give it a try, and see how many kipper ties u can spot! >>More Details

Monarch of the Glen was a television drama, produced by Ecosse Films for BBC Scotland and originally broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom. The series premiered in February 2000, and its seventh and final season was broadcast from September 2005 until October 2005 - with 64 episodes in total. Monarch of the Glen is loosely based on Compton Mackenzie's Highland Novels, which are set in the same location but in the 1930s and 1940s. The real Monarch of the Glen is a famous Landseer oil that every Scot will be familiar with. The first five seasons of Monarch of the Glen told the story of young restaurateur, Archie MacDonald, trying to restore his childhood home in the Scottish Highlands, whilst the final two seasons of the show focused on new Laird Paul Bowman trying to ...
