I guess that Land Girls is there to give us a 'glimpse of life in the country during World War II'. Not much material there for a feature film you might think, at least not without the obligatory sex or violence and in this case you'd be right. As most of the violence was happening in Europe, that leaves the former, and thankfully we are spared any gratuitous action in this department. How many of you thought that this sort of thing didn't go on during the war?
Even so, the emphasis is more on the romantic element which hinges on the girls' relationships with Joe the farm boy and the ways in which their lives are shaped by them (well, sort of). Poor Joe looks constantly miserable in spite of his cavortings - joining the RAF is more ... Read More:

Directed by Pat O'Connor and exquisitely filmed (by Kenneth MacMillan) in the countryside of Donegal, this ensemble drama is adapted from the stage play by Brian Friel. Screenwriter Frank McGuinness sticks close to the dialogue of the play but opens up the rural cottage setting to include brief scenes of the town of Ballybeg, the stunning and untamed countryside, and the pagan harvest celebration, the Feast of Lughnasa. Set in 1936, the film focuses on the difficult lives of five unmarried sisters and an eight-year-old love child, when Ireland was on the verge of World War II and industrialization. The film stresses character and theme, rather than plot, highlighting the relationships among the sisters as they cope with the arrival of their brother, a ... Read More:

Spy Game is everything we're not supposed to expect from a major Hollywood movie: engrossing, intelligent, well written, acted and directed. But that's just what it is and more, this is definitely the best thing I've seen since Memento. Although Pitt is really good and Redford plays himself as well as he has in years, I think the most credit should go to Tony Scott. In the hands of a lesser director this could have been something more like Mission Impossible. But Scott stays right on target, keeping us interested, developing the characters, and keeping the pacing nearly perfect. Scott also shows us that he's stayed with the times: he employs the full array of modern camera tricks like fast motion, reverse zooms and funky lenses but in a way that actually ... Read More:

The other reviews go into the plot so i wont but if you want to do yourself the biggest favour ever, buy this film and watch it regularly, amazing one liners, deep felt sentiments without being sentimental, funny, witty, very unpredictable, so well acted directed and written. All that and the most AMAZING soundtrack to boot.
Most people, especially men are put off this film without giving it a chance because of it's title. You have to see it to believe how good it is.
I suggest the other reviewers watch it again without interuption.

This film is almost ten years old but it retains its relevance and interest because of its timeless theme that of the hit and miss elusive search for a soulmate and the false paths taken on the way.The script and acting are first class and the music score (also available on Amazon) is expertly woven into the plot. A classic.

A friend converted this wonderful series to NTSC for me, and I'm forever in her debt for it. It was wonderfully entertaining, full of quirky yet loveable characters. I simply adore James Frain, and he manages to make Lorimer (aka Milo) a very adorable character, indeed. Lorimer's smart and saavy, yet extremely vunerable. He thinks he's safe from life's little surprizes...that he's hardened, worldly, and wise...that he's covered all the bases, and that there is nothing that could hurt him, touch him, or "disturb his anticipations". Boy, is Lorimer ever wrong! His life gets turned topsy turvey, and along the way you grow to love him more and more, and wish him nothing but happiness. Frain is just perfect as Lorimer/Milo, and he is added tremendously by Stephen Rea, Catherine ... Read More:
