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 Ciáran 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 ...

DVD : Lust, Caution [2007]

Lust, Caution [2007]

Comparisons to the equally beautiful 'In The Mood for Love' are well targeted here and not just because of the Tony Leung connection. Lust, Caution exhibits the same muted (almost mutilated) sexual tensions against a back drop of middle-class, Western-obsessed indifference which suffocates in a vacuum of talking without communicating. Indeed, the title is like a road sign for those wishing to escape the numbness of existence: Danger follows if unheeded...

The performances are sublime as is the photography and editing (the Mah-Jong sequences deserve a special award) but it is the direction which triumphs. Ang Lee is the unchallenged master of cinema which finds beauty in an ugly world (The Ice Storm sprung to mind on several occassions) ... Read More:

Basically, everyone else seems to have just said the plot of the film. I will say that this movie is one of the most beautiful, amazing films ever made and is best watched alone, with a clear mind. Heath Ledger is commonly said to have given a brilliant performance, which I agree with completely, on parr with his last complete role as the Joker. However, I do feel Jake Gyllenhaal is very underrated in this film, I love his performance, particularly at the start of the film, though his character's actions begin to get on my nerves towards the end, this doesn't take away from the magnificent ending, which could not be bettered. I have never watched it without crying.

I watched this for the first time recently and couldnt understand why it was so popular, i found this film utterly boring and very stupid for e.g the flying and stupid jumps, for me its very unrealistic as in the fight scenes two people throwing swords at other full pelt and no blood no one hurt no nothing, but the only reason it got 2 stars rather than 1 is because of the way its filmed, apart from that found it very very boring.

me and my boyfriend had a very depressing sunday night, normally we watch some films together before monday but on this occasion after first trying unsuccessfully to watch The Crazies and finding it totally boring, we opted for this which wasn't much better. The acting was rather wooden and the story did not have as much pizazz as i was expecting. I am all for giving different genres a chance i.e. westerns but this really made me double think if i would actually be interested in watching one ever again!

A more subdued film than its impressive sequel, but this film is still a decent attempt at converting this much loved character on the silver-screen. Eric Banna, as always, is excellent and its a big shame he wouldnt do the next film. The story is deep and interesting but overall it just doesnt deliver. The Hulk lacks a villain to go up against. The film is still worth a watch but you will proberbly only watch it once. This is an average film and if I could I would of given it 2.5/5 ... but since I cant do that I'll give it a rather generous 3/5.

Two neighboring families experience a long and ultimately life-changing Thanksgiving weekend. The story moves from one house to the other where the adults are all bored with their spouses (but not with their neighbor's spouse) and the kids are restless and curious about sex. Everyone feels misunderstood and a big ice storm is coming.

This adult drama is full of outstanding performances: Kevin Kline and a luminously lovely Joan Allen play husband and wife who are both filled with pain and longing. Sigourney Weaver is great as the self-absorbed and callous neighbor wife who hooks up with Kline's character. The kids include a young, sensitive Tobey Maguire who lusts after classmate Katie Holmes, while younger siblings Cristina Ricci and Elijah Woods suffer the pangs of adolescence. ... Read More:

Never seen this kind of packaging before, it's lovely. All my favourite sweeping period dramas, who can resist Daniel Day Lewis in The Age of Innocence and I still maintain that Cate Blanchett should have got the Oscar for Elizabeth!
