VHS : Richard III [1996]

Richard III [1996]


starring: Ian McKellen, Annette Bening, Jim Broadbent, Robert Downey Jr., Nigel Hawthorne
directed by: Richard Loncraine
May 05, 1997


This is probably about ten percent of the original dialogue, and therefore it rolls along at a terrific pace. Having Richard arrive in a tank through a wall, must be the most dynamic entrance of any character in a Shakespeare play. You can suddenly see the origins of the pantomime Wicked Uncle figure in this piece as well, when he croons over the departing Little Princes 'So wise so young they say do never live long, come-let's to supper.' Fabulous! Don't miss it.

VHS : The Great Outdoors [1988]

The Great Outdoors [1988]


starring: Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Stephanie Faracy, Annette Bening, Chris Young
directed by: Howard Deutch
August 16, 1999


You pretty much know that any film featuring both John Candy and Dan Aykroyd is going to generate some laughs, making The Great Outdoors a pretty safe bet for anyone in the mood for a little comedy - and comedy is basically all you should expect here (any film that supplies subtitles for raccoon conversations isn't really trying to express anything meaningful), despite the fact that John Hughes wrote the script. For once, Hughes' involvement does more harm than good. While The Great Outdoors is certainly a good movie, it's not a very good John Hughes movie. Of course, it's hard to follow 80s classics like The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, but Hughes' heart just didn't seem to be in this one. This is best demonstrated by the teenaged ... Read More:

VHS : Love Affair [1994]

Love Affair [1994]


starring: Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Katharine Hepburn, Garry Shandling, Chloe Webb
directed by: Glenn Gordon Caron
February 05, 1996


This magical remake of a remake works wonderfully, and not just because of the real-life husband and wife combination.

Great direction, great editing, great acting, outstanding cinematography...yes, it's a matinee film, but it loses no points for that.

Honest old-fashioned screen romance at its best - I think it's a shame it seems to have dropped off the radar. The leads are positively magnetic. (Well, it's true I find it hard to say anything bad about Annette Benning, but isn't the Pacific Isles segment truly dream-like? OK, I'm just fishing here...)

Sigh...

VHS : American Beauty [2000]

American Beauty [2000]


starring: Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening, Thora Birch, Wes Bentley, Mena Suvari
directed by: Sam Mendes
November 27, 2000


Lester Burnham's (Spacey) life is reawaken when he meets Angela Hayes (Suvari).

This 1999 Oscar winning picture is regarded as Mendes' finest and with a fine realistic styled direction it is easy to see why.

Dramas can often be ruined when a can of clichés is opened but Mendes keeps a grounded direction all the way through and uses a variety of techniques to achieve the ultimate shocking effect. From a simple but effective sweeping shot of the suburban residency to the artistic and now infamous fantasy sequences, Mendes maintains the realism in the film's context.

Alan Ball's Oscar winning script is superb. The conciseness of the character's lives is easy and relaxing to watch which, given the complexity of ... Read More:

VHS : Open Range [2004]

Open Range [2004]


starring: Kevin Costner, Robert Duvall, Diego Luna, Abraham Benrubi, Annette Bening
directed by: Kevin Costner
June 13, 2005


Finally! The first Costner film that you can sit and watch with real pleasure for far too long.

Boss Freeman (Duvall) and Charley Waite (Costner) are Freegrazers (a kind of gypsy cowboy with no ranch) travelling with their herd and companions through the majestic scenery of the Wild West.

What follows has been seen many times before but rarely carried off with such aplomb. Duvall is, as usual, superb and Costner plays the taciturn cowpoke with a violent past much better than Eastwood managed in 'Unforgiven'. Gambon invests the evil town `guvnor' with just the right amount of ham and menace and Bening is in fine fettle as the love interest.

The film builds up the tension slowly, helped by a haunting score, before ... Read More:

In Dreams [1999]


starring: Annette Bening, Robert Downey Jr., Katie Sagona, Aidan Quinn, Paul Guilfoyle
directed by: Neil Jordan



A very intersting horror with lots of twists. One to watch. The story is based on a serial killer who enters the mind of an innocent woman. A good thriller/ horror. Sounds strange, but is good.

VHS : The Siege [1999]

The Siege [1999]


starring: Denzel Washington, Bruce Willis, Annette Bening, Tony Shalhoub, Sami Bouajila
directed by: Edward Zwick
January 24, 2000


What we have here is an average attempt at manifesting one of the possible and likely threats of our time; Terrorism. To much of an extent, the film captures this perfectly, and we learn how such people operate, they're motives etc etc... However, the film fails in its layout - the way it keeps switching from Denzel and co's personal issue's and feelings to the job in hand leaves you feeling out-of-place.

It should also be noted that Bruce Willis and a helicopter with missile cannons don't mix, when it comes to realism. The result is borderline laughable as he struts about in his army uniform.

Though its been directed and presented well, a little more thought into making the plot real would have benefited the film. Taking the American public and ... Read More:
