This film is a must have in my DVD collection i love it! The story, the laughs and the sound track create one of my all-time favourite films and thats hard for a man to say when its actually in esscence a love story!

Heath ledger is epically cast as a thatchers son destined to servitude and squaller however the his desire and will drive him to chase his dream! The supporting cast provide great laughs and comardership that is not rarely seen in movies.

This film is a great example of the drive that comes from a persons imagination, enough to challenge his class pursue his destiny enjoy life and as with all good stories find love!

DVD : Payback [1999]

Payback [1999]


starring: Mel Gibson, Gregg Henry, Maria Bello, David Paymer, Bill Duke
directed by: Brian Helgeland, John Myhre
September 20, 1999


...but comedy and revenge don't go together. Remakes rarely live up to the original and PAYBACK (the original being POINT BLANK with Lee Marvin) is no exception, and it's not for the lack of trying.
The acting is good, the story is good, but it's the directing and the sometimes slapstick humor that bring PAYBACK down. There's plenty of other GOOD revenge films out there, this one looks poor by comparison. 3 stars for effort and because it IS watchable.

I don't know why i bought this. Maybe because I was having an emotional Heath Ledger tribute which involved purchasing a load of his films. I'm sorry to say this was a really dire film. The plot although i'd originally thought of it as looking fantastic, was really bad!! Really bad. Sorry Heath, but everyone makes a couple of dud films, even you.

A Knight's Tale [2001]


starring: Heath Ledger, Rufus Sewell, Paul Bettany, Shannyn Sossamon
directed by: Brian Helgeland
February 25, 2002


A Knight's Tale is the story of a peasant's son who is able to "change his stars" after becoming a knight's page. This entertaining film is set in Europe in the Middle Ages, and keeps our attention with good acting, humor, and without the help of super special effects. The dialog and soundtrack of mainly rock music takes us outside the usual costumed theme.

The "knight" (Heath Ledger) earns the love, respect, and loyalty of his peers and others with his bravery, sense of honor, and strength of character. Although the plot is simple, the interaction of the characters keeps your interest, and I came away with a better understanding of tilting contests and the sports or jousting. The opening scene gives you a promise of what to expect, ... Read More:

I rented this and have to say that I was disappointed by the visual quality of the film on Blu Ray. I do not actually think it was any better than the DVD (which I own) except marginally. For perhaps a couple of scenes the picture quality was good and clearly HD.

I have to disagree with the other reviewer who says that the picture quality is outstanding, it is not at all. Plenty of grain and not a sharp picture.

As for the sound, either 5.1 or PCM uncompressed. As my amplifier does not have an HDMI slot I cannot use PCM uncompressed sound and so cannot comment on that. the 5.1 sound was ok but again no better than the DVD.

The film itself is great, which is why I own it on DVD and why I rented it on Blu Ray. I was ... Read More:

The UK DVD is 97mins long, this USA "uncut" version is 90mins!

Allowing for PAL and NTSC differences that means the UK DVD is more than 10 MINUTES LONGER!
