Average Rating:	Sense And Sensibility (Collector's Edition) [1996] starring: Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, James Fleet, Tom Wilkinson, Harriet Walter directed by: Ang Lee February 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£3.50
Sense and Sensibility, directed by Ang Lee with a screenplay written by Emma Thompson, made up one part of the holy trinity of Austen productions which aired in 1995. That crowning year for Austenmania began with the BBC production of Persuasion in April 1995 (starring Amanda Root and CiÃ¡ran Hinds), followed by the impeccable BBC version of Pride and Prejudice (starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) in September and October, and was capped off in mid-December by this film version of Sense and Sensibility. Emma Thompson's much-praised screenplay (for which she won an Oscar and a Golden Globe) straddles the difficult divide between pleasing the community of Jane Austen purists and making the 1811 novel appealing to a wider audience of cinema ...

Average Rating:	Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban [2004] starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Julie Christie, David Bradley, Warwick Davis, Tom Felton directed by: Alfonso Cuaron October 24, 2005		List Price: Â£9.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.98 You Save: £4.01 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£3.20
The third film in the series, this is by far the darkest up to this point. Whilst the imagery is stunning, and the clever twist at the end is well executed, for many hardcore Potter fans, the changes to some of the story lines and the character traits don't go down very well. This is still a good effort though, and you can always read the book if you want to fill in some of the gaps (recommeneded, as it actually enhances your enjoyment of the film if you do). A great addition to the first two Harry Potter films. >>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£3.47 You Save: £2.52 (42%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.80
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 ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Oliver Twist (BBC) [2007] starring: Timothy Spall, Rob Brydon, Gregor Fisher, Edward Fox, Tom Hardy March 10, 2008		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£17.38 You Save: £2.61 (13%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£8.30
This was AWFUL! The acting was horrible, the story didn't really stand right to me and Fagin was just...not convincing. Nancy was worse, her acting was the worst of the lot. It truely was an awful adaption. And Fagin shows real concern for Oliver - Hello?! If you want true class acting then i suggest you buy Alan Bleasdale's version of Oliver Twist. It has a better story, and better actors/actresess. It's the one with Robert Lindsay, who plays Fagin AMAZINGLY!. All in all, this is a shocking adaption and mocks the BBC and Dickens. >>More Details

Average Rating:	See No Evil, Hear No Evil [1989] starring: Richard Pryor, Gene Wilder, Joan Severance, Kevin Spacey, Alan North directed by: Arthur Hiller September 11, 2000		List Price: Â£12.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.98 You Save: £9.01 (69%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.99
True Comic Genius Indeed. Wilder & Pryor truly brought out the best in one another, and with "See No evil..." this is no exception. "tis funny how natural comedy could be produced from life's most mundane moments! Certainly one of my favourite "Pryor, Wilder" flicks! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Colditz starring: Damian Lewis, Sophia Myles, Tom Hardy, James Fox, Laurence Fox directed by: Stuart Orme March 28, 2005		List Price: Â£19.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£3.97 You Save: £16.02 (80%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.92
First of all, any movie that includes Lawrence Fox is worth watching (I haven't seen him in anything I haven't liked, so far.); next, I found this well-acted two-part series absorbing from beginning to end. Damian Lewis is also excellent in the role of the charming rogue who almost gets away with his villainy. The problem with the story, it seems to me, is that it couldn't quite make up its mind as to genre: Escape yarn? Love story? Murder mystery? Espionage thriller? It is all of these, but, given the name of the film, I can see how anyone expecting the first might be disappointed, since the narrative passes so quickly over many of the riveting details of the great escape stories that emerged during the 1950s, which concentrated both on life in the camp ...

Average Rating:	Cape Wrath - Complete Series 1 starring: David Morrissey, Tom Hardy, Lucy Cohu, Felicity Jones, Ralph Brown directed by: Andrew Gunn, Duane Clark August 27, 2007		List Price: Â£24.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£7.08 You Save: £17.91 (72%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£5.75
I just received this from Amazon for less than a tenner. What a bargain! This could well be the best drama series you've never heard of - I don't think Channel Four promoted it very well and showed it late at night. I'd describe Cape Wrath as a cross between Brookside and The Prisoner, with a few short Lost-style flashbacks thrown in to explain the characters. It also reminded me a bit of Twin Peaks in places but there is nothing overtly supernatural about it, just weird. What made it for me is some stellar performances from David Morrissey and Lucy Cohu who play husband and wife, the Brogans. Some of their scenes together are electric, - warm and loving one minute to a gradual separation, caused by a series of sinister events and revelations. ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Stuart A Life Backwards [2007] starring: Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch directed by: David Attwood August 25, 2008		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£6.98 You Save: £9.01 (56%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£11.14
This is one of the best films that I have seen for years. Thought provoking, moving, funny and incredibly sad. A wonderful adaptation. Hardy gives his best performance yet. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Sweeney Todd (The Director's Cut) starring: Ray Winstone, Essie Davis, David Warner, Tom Hardy, David Bradley directed by: David Moore February 06, 2006		List Price: Â£15.99 Vegetarian Books Price: Â£5.08 You Save: £10.91 (68%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: Â£2.45
Ray Winstone is quite convincing in this depiction of Sweeney Todd. The addition of a love story actually compliments the murder aspect. I only gave it 3 stars because of the ridiculous and childish sound effects that both annoy and irritate; there is just no need for them. The editing needed a little more effort as well, for instance as the first murder victim is being shaved, the shaving soap keeps on re-appearing - so no suspension of disbelief there! It is still worth watching despite the unsophisticated sound track and the poor editing. >>More Details
