The BBC! Where would we be without it and all it's fantastic offerings of cosy period dramas that made us long for an age of corsets, letter-writing, stately homes, balls and aboveall handsome suitors? The good news is that Wives and Daughters lives up to the above expectations being a lavish production full of drama, suspense and romance.

Molly Gibson and her father have always relied on each other. However when Molly's father marries again family life takes a new and unpleasant turn. The newly-wed Mrs Gibson insists on a strict code of propriety. With the arrival of Mrs Gibson's daughter Cynthia, Molly finds herself in a strange new world suddenly keeping secrets and getting mixed up in the most scandolous of affairs. I won't ... Read More:

Having read all the possible works of Austen, I decided to watch the adaptations of her works as well. Some like S&S (the movie and BBC version) blew me away, whilst others like ITV's 'Mansfield Park' left me cursing. I knew when I heard about this version from others I'd either LOVE it to pieces or wish to wipe it from memory. I'm sorry to say, (and no I haven't watched the 95 version yet) this movie left me feeling cold for most of the part. Yes, they had to squeeze the novel into a record 2 hrs and had to compromise but the choice to hack the important parts was awful. Trying to compensate it with a Bronte atmosphere gave me little chance to celebrate as well. The fact, we never see the attraction between Wickham and Elizabeth or Darcy and Elizabeth left so much ... Read More:

I'll probably be lynched for this heresy!... but I wouldn't recommend this one unless you're a diehard fan of one of the actors, or just a special effects geek.
This film wanders around, without much of a plot, relying far too heavily on humour [!??] and special effects. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but want to, but it destroys relationships, with characters betraying one another instead of standing together.
Not a 'Feel Good' film, and not a PATCH on Pirates I, Curse of the Black Pearl.

This film is completely crass and completely predictable. Dreadful script and even worse acting.
I actually had to turn it off halfway through. Just glad I didn't buy it!

This is a worthwhile package featuring the fine historical dramas 'Elizabeth' and 'Elizabeth:The Golden Age'.Both movies show Elizabeth 1st at different stages of her life and though they have received some critisism about their historical inaccuracies they are entertaining and well worth watching.

Cate Blanchett is fantastic in the lead role and you can't take your eyes off her.She is a wonderful actress and she is at her very best in both movies.There is very good support from the likes of Geoffrey Rush,Clive Owen,Christopher Eccleston,Joseph Fiennes and many others.The cinematography is excellent also.

Of the two,'Elizabeth' is the better movie but as a double DVD set this is a treat and definitely well worth a look.There are also extras on the two discs ... Read More:

At once more ambitious and less intriguing than its predecessor, Elizabeth: The Golden Age certainly isn't the abject disaster reviewers claimed on its theatrical release, although it's not nearly as engrossing as the original. Unfortunately, while Shekhar Kapur opens up the action and opts for a much lighter palate this time round, with at least a trailer's worth of striking visuals, the results are not particularly compelling. By focusing on the best-known part of the Virgin Queen's reign there's less of the constant sense of danger that marked its predecessor even though it amps up the threat by pitting her not against her own court but the might of the Spanish Empire and its Armada. Yet, being a sequel, it adheres to the `the same but different,' and there's certainly a strong element ... Read More:

Ordered this in error as located in the middle of the ENIGMA music DVDs, but kept it. If you are into war time films, this is a very good one.

This is a very entertaining film with great acting. The story is slightly OTT but has some great moments in it, especially between Johnny Depp (a great performance from him) and either John Malkovitch or Samantha Morton, who are also outstanding.

This story draws you in & in places repels, but it's very entertaining and pretty dark. Recommended.

I watched this after reading The Company: A Novel of the CIA by Robert Littell, which follows a similar theme and includes the same group of people. Must say this is an excellent DVD, excellent acting and everything else that has already been mentioned!
