This remains one of my favourite films of all time, humorous, at times upsetting, thought provoking, sensitive, intelligent. Well cast, great script - I defy anyone to be disappointed after watching it.

I watch this film even when the kids aren't around, its a superb film from beginning to end if you're aged 4 or 94. Its a little frightening in places but not too bad for small children. The make-up is fantastic and Anjelica Huston plays the best witch on screen since the Wizard Of Oz....really powerful and evil. I won't spoil the ending but its clever funny and they all get their just desserts 'so to speak'. One of Rowan Atkinsons better parts, Jane Horrocks' cameo role is delightful. You get the feel that this is exactly how Roald Dahl would have wanted the film to be like - full marks !!!

The Killing Fields [1984]starring: Sam Waterston, Haing S. Ngor, John Malkovich, Julian Sands, Craig T. Nelson directed by: Roland Joffé February 19, 1996 |

This is a beautifully made, moving film depicting the harsh regime of the Khmer Rouge communist revolutionaries in 1970's Cambodia. The film focuses on the real-life relationship between Cambodian Dith Pran and American journalist Sidney Schanberg. The acting is superb, particularly from Dr. Haing S Ngor who played the part of Dith Pran and who did himself survive the Killing Fields.
In my opinion, it is necessary to have a background knowledge of the political events during this time (eg. the Cambodian government being overthrown by the Khmer Rouge and the subsequent evacuation of the cities) as without this, the film may be confusing in parts. However, this DVD does helpfully give the viewer the option to choose a brief historical recounting ... Read More: >>More Details |

I think the title of this review sum up my opinion. The complexity of the storyline was lost in this adaptation. The facts and details that were changed, removed the edge that this novel had originally.
However, God bless Brian Cox who brought talent to the uninspiring cast. His performance alone envoked an emotional reaction out of me. >>More Details |

The Rachel Papers [1989]starring: Dexter Fletcher, Ione Skye, Jonathan Pryce, James Spader, Bill Paterson directed by: Damian Harris February 10, 1992 |

This film is better than I remembered it. It's quite funny. Jonathan Pryce (Norman) is very amusing.
It has the advantage of not being formulaic. Perhaps its being British helped it to avoid a cheesy ending being tacked on at the last minute. However, perhaps because it is based on a novel from the 1970s, it is not what I would think of a typical "1980s British film". Oh, the hair and the music are quite 1980s, and it is definitely set in the past. It dates to the era when one could, like Charles (Dexter Fletcher) and Rachel (Ione Skye) go to an art gallery and see a TIDY bed. The sense of place is more distinct than the sense of time. Our protagonist could almost be a younger relative of Hugh Grant's character in "4 Weddings": both charming Englishmen ... Read More: >>More Details |

Doctor Zhivagostarring: Sam Neill, Chris Marshall, Hans Matheson, Bill Paterson, Celia Imrie directed by: Giacomo Campiotti March 24, 2003 |

I seem to remember that this was aired on ITV the same time as Daniel Deronda on BBC, and I have no doubt that this is the better of the two. The main thing to keep in mind when watching this film, is that it is an 'adaptation' of Dr Zhivago. Certain elements of the book are altered, but the general spirit of the novel is maintained. The settings are breathtaking and generally the acting from Celia Imrie, Sam Neill, Bill Patterson, Kris Marshall and unknown Hans Matheson as Yury are incredibly moving. Even new star, Keira Knightley does a good job (she was only seventeen when she made this), though she pouts a little too much for my liking. I personally have loved the book for as long as I can remember, but that hasn't prevented me from appreciating this adaptation for what it is in itself, ... Read More:
