The first complete unabridged version of Hamlet to be filmed, this film is an essential part of anyones DVD collection, and was certainly worth the 10 year+ wait for the DVD release. It has a stellar cast... Kate Winslet's Opehelia is brilliant and Richard Briers is perfectly cast as Polonius. In fact, all the central characters are performed brilliantly. It is also good fun to spot the big names playing smaller roles, including a tiny cameo from Dame Judi of Dench. The cinematography is stunning, and the scene in the hall of mirrors is great.
Of course the fact that this is the greatest play written by Shakespeare helps, but when it is interpreted by someone such as Branagh who has an instinctive understanding of how to make Shakespeare's ... Read More:

Now, it is true to say that the iconography of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones isn't one to be taken too seriously. Beginning life as a newspaper serial whose captions would later constitute a worldwide bestselling novel, Fielding at once captured the humility, the optimism and every single wine stain of the modern day middle-class working girl in England, with barbed asides regarding celebrity culture and the dating game that bordered on the scabrous but that were also never less-than-funny. To turn the novel into a charming romantic comedy blockbuster proved to be a bit of a no-brainer for Working Title and Miramax, and thanks to a marketing push that enveloped the world much like Miss Jones's underpants did her tummy and waist, pubs became wine bars or ...

The Real Rebus - an earlier review
By Jeffrey S. Ryan (Breckenridge, Colorado, USA).
I fully agree with you. On hearing that the books were to be brought to Television my immediate vision was of Ken Stott, having seen him act so perfectly his role in Messiah 1 & 2 most notably, and in other crime/thriller/police works. In fact as I read my way through Ian Rankin's books it was Ken Stott I too envisioned. Although I did toy with the idea of actor
being "The Real Rebus", as often it was his face I saw. Again he has acted many Senior Police Offficer Roles, enjoying his cigarettes and his booze in these other dramas, which would definately have given him a good start for John Rebus's character.For me, one person who wasn't the ... Read More:

Mr Benn is easily one of my favourite children's programmes, short and simple but also magical and truly unforgettable. I never realised that only 14 episodes were made though, maybe it is because time goes a lot slower as a child, that and the fact that by the time an episode was repeated, I must have thought it was a brand new episode but anyway, quality will always be more important than quantity plus it is proof that Mr Benn has great replay value.
Another great thing about Mr Benn is that every episode is almost identical up until the point where he changes into the costume and so I could watch any episode randomly and never be quite sure which costume it was going to be, very clever. AN ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL CHILDREN'S TV CLASSIC.

What age is this extraordinary programme aimed at, I wonder ? Some of the reviews indicate that older children of 5 or 6 love it, as well as pre-schoolers (at which it is aimed) and adults. Ben Bold has his own agenda which made me smile...see his review.
All I can say is that it has a particular quality of excellence that you associate with something of timeless appeal. My 2 year old grandson, his father and mother and I all watch in a state of almost helpless fascination.
It is calming, very surreal, mysterious almost zen-like. Maybe, in the Night Garden, we all return to the old Garden from where we all came.........

I am a big fan of Soul, Blues, R'n'B and associated genres and so came to this essentially for the music which is astoundingly good. It would be worth seeing just for the music, but although the story does seem to have been constructed around the opportunity to see and hear legendary artists perform, it is rightly been a cult film due to the slightly oddball nature of the story, the well known set pieces (car chases, nuns and rulers, James Brown's turn as a preacher, Carrie Fisher as a vengeful ex) it is an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

I really did like this film. Ive seen the original but didn't even bother think about it while watching this one. Why would i watch this one and waste my time if i'm obly watching it to compare or criticise it?
I found some bits scary and some bits not scary , just like we all do in some horror/thriller films.
If your not to sure about this film just do what i do , go on youtube and watch the trailer.
All i can say is just watch it and don't complain if you don't like it.
