A great film that i watched many times as a child. Unfortunately it has not been released on dvd. I find this strange as Helen Mirren plays a main role in this fantastic film.

VHS : Age Of Consent [1969]

Age Of Consent [1969]


starring: James Mason, Helen Mirren, Jack MacGowran, Neva Carr-Glynn, Andonia Katsaros
directed by: Michael Powell
August 22, 1994


I caught this rather odd but interesting movie at 1 AM on TCM one night (I guess insomnia isn't always a bad thing). James Mason stars as famous, very jaded middle-aged painter who decides to get away from the frustrations of his public life by relocating to a rural Australian island. Unfortunately, once there he finds more frustrations with his eccentric and annoying neighbours, and bothersome former associates who show up unexpectedly. He also meets a young girl (Helen Mirren) who, uh, "re-inspires" him by agreeing to pose for him in the nude.

The tone of this movie is kind of strange; going from light-hearted comedy to sudden tragedy and back again. It was directed by Michael Powell...after this once-respected director had pretty ... Read More:

The Prince Of Egypt [1998]


starring: Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Goldblum
directed by: Brenda Chapman, Simon Wells, Steve Hickner

I'm not religious in any sense of the word, so my review will be based purely on the film placed in front of me, and not on any historical innacuracies and deviances from the actual story, or any religious implications in the film.

I was blown away by this film to be honest. The story, the voice acting, the animation, it was all faultless, and though the songs took a bit of getting used to (they didn't seem to have that sweet, flowing quality I was used to seeing in most cartoon musicals) the soundtrack fits the film incredibly well, with the obvious standout song of 'there can be miracles' made famous by Mariah carey and whitney Houston. One fault I did have however was the script, which at times felt slightly awkward, but the voice actors ... Read More:

Calendar Girls [2003]


starring: Helen Mirren, Julie Walters, Penelope Wilton, John Alderton, Linda Bassett
directed by: Nigel Cole
February 09, 2004



This film is mind numbingly tedious! Plotless titilation of the profoundly indifferent.

It's absolutely implausibly far too long cobbled together nonsense appealing to feminist ideology by presenting itself as some bra burning, or in this case removing, remedy to the place women find themselves in and it just does not work on any level!!

I'm off to burn my jockey shorts and do a calender for the British Legion.

I really enjoyed this. Everything makes sense and the ending is really dramatic, much more so than 2001's imo, which just left me confused and thinking: thank god for that. Acting is also good throughout.

VHS : White Nights [1985]

White Nights [1985]


starring: Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gregory Hines, Jerzy Skolimowski, Helen Mirren, Geraldine Page
directed by: Taylor Hackford



... I just LOVE this film. Its an eighties masterpiece. I remember watching it as a child and instantly falling in love with Mikhail Baryshnikov. I haven't seen it for nearly 25 years and I've just watched it again, it is just BRILLIANT. I felt all the same things I did when I was young but this time I understood all the difficulties involved with the lead character's defection to the West. The dancing is thrilling and the soundtrack, although distinctly eighties, suits the time and style of the film beautifully. Great film.
