Average Rating:	Fairy Tale - A True Story [1998] starring: Paul McGann, Florence Hoath, Elizabeth Earl, Harvey Keitel, Jason Salkey directed by: Charles Sturridge October 19, 1998		Used Price: Â£0.36
What a charming film with the late great Bob Peck. I knew nothing about this film, even though it was shot near where I come from in Keighley, until I read about it in MADE IN YORKSHIRE. It is also based on true events which happened in Yorkshire. I had thought it must be dire otherwise I would have heard about. How wrong I was. Was it shown in the cinema ? I have a job tracking it down but found a copy in the Keighley lending library. Check it out as its well worth watching. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Sharpe's Company [1994] starring: Sean Bean, Pete Postlethwaite, Daragh O'Malley, Hugh Fraser, Michael Byrne directed by: Tom Clegg January 26, 2000		Used Price: Â£0.01
Whatever my record was for urging one character to kill another in a movie, I surely broke it while watching "Sharpe's Company." This is the third film in the series based on the novels of Bernard Cromwell and is set in Spain in 1812 as the Duke of Wellington begins his invasion of Spain from Portugal while Napoleon is preoccupied with developments in northern Europe. The key to a successful campaign is the capture of two great fortresses, Ciudad Rodrigo in the north and Badajoz in the south. Meanwhile, Richard Sharpe (Sean Bean) has his own concerns. First, Sharpe is demoted to lieutenant, when the captancy of his unit is purchased a nobleman. That means are hero longs to do something that will get his rank back so that he cannot lose ...

Average Rating:	Sharpe's Regiment [1996] starring: Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley, Abigail Cruttenden, Michael Cochrane, Nicholas Farrell directed by: Tom Clegg June 17, 1996		Used Price: Â£0.01
Sharpe and Harper return home to find the regiment they had been promised in Spain was missing and by all acounts only marched on paper. Sharpe has a different kind of battle on his hands..... one that leads to him meeting up with old adversaries and unmasking corruption in the highest ranks Look out for a little bit of romance aswell! >>More Details

Average Rating:	Sharpe's Waterloo [1997] starring: Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley, Abigail Cruttenden, Alexis Denisof, CÃ©cile Paoli directed by: Tom Clegg September 15, 1997		Used Price: Â£0.53
I am the proud owner of all the Sharpe's Videos and Books. Bernard Cornwell is a good literary storyteller. However, he is no deep philosophical prophet, I believe his mission is to provide the reader with a sense of time and atmosphere missing in many of his contemporary colleagues. This he does with aplomb! The screen adaptation should and must be looked upon with the same clarity of objectivity. It succeeds in my opinion in portraying the feelings and hopes or in fact hopelessness of a diverse yet bonded group of non-professional soldiers before during and after one of the greatest battles in British Military History. This said, it is, as all Mr Cornwell,s books are a superbly enthralling adventure, successfully personalising a period to which few ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Sharpe's Gold [1995] starring: Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley, Hugh Fraser, John Tams, Michael Mears directed by: Tom Clegg October 01, 1999		Used Price: Â£0.01
This is without a doubt the weakest episode of the normally excellent TV series. With almost no reference to the (far more superior) novel, the producers have thrown in a couple of irritating characters in the form of Wellington's sister and niece and included some Spanish partisans which fashion themselves in the style of the Aztecs. I'm not sure how expensive it would have been for the producers to follow the storyline of the novel more closely (except for Sharpe meeting Teresa, which he does earlier in the TV series, but it would have made for a better story. That said, the episode is as always magnificantly cast, and played out, except for the aforementioned aunt and niece who are never really coinvincing. There really is no one ...

Average Rating:	Sharpe's Mission [1996] starring: Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley, Abigail Cruttenden, James Laurenson, Hugh Fraser directed by: Tom Clegg September 23, 1996		Used Price: Â£0.01
aslong as you like Sharpe you'll like this.As usual the storyline is a mix of the good(sharpe) versus the evil french(in this case Ducos is back). Although those who havent seen sharpe may enjoy it too, as it has a good storyline throughout. It is as excellent as usual, with its awe inspiring scenes of rural countryside, to its contrast of the well choreographed bloody war scenes. Its certainly a must for all sharpe fans! >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Turn Of The Screw [1999] starring: Jodhi May, Pam Ferris, Colin Firth, Joe Sowerbutts, Grace Robinson directed by: Ben Bolt (II) February 07, 2000		Used Price: Â£12.80
When a young woman (played by Jodhi May) begins her job as governess, everything seems to be perfect. However, there are secrets in her new house, and when she begins to see the ghosts of recently deceased servants, it becomes clear that there is evil afoot. However, no one else can see the ghosts, and her actions begin to seem more and more deranged. How can she protect her two charges, and what must she do? [Color, released in 1999, with a running time of 1:40 (2 hours with the Masterpiece Theatre introduction and so forth).] Overall, I found this to be a disturbing and rather chilling movie. The original Henry James' story is considered a classic ghost story, but in this movie, things are much less clear. Is the governess a sensitive young woman, ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	In America [2003] starring: Paddy Considine, Samantha Morton, Djimon Hounsou, Sarah Bolger, Emma Bolger directed by: Jim Sheridan March 15, 2004		Used Price: Â£0.88
Although this is really well acted by all the cast, I just found this film tipped over the edge into sentimentality. Actually, it was almost fairy-tale like with the two cute girls & the way they make fast work of befriending the local residents in a junkie-infested building/area of Manhattan. I should have guessed when the US border guard was won over by the younger girl's cuteness factor right at the start of the movie. Gimme a break! If you're looking for grittiness (which I thought I was gonna get from this) then look elsewhere. But if you're a sentimental type, then this could well be up your street. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Sharpe's Sword [1995] starring: Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley, John Tams, Jason Salkey, Emily Mortimer directed by: Tom Clegg October 01, 1999		Used Price: Â£0.01
I had only seen a few of the Sharpe series before I saw this one. I believe it is one of the best of the series. The facial expressions of Sharpe are brilliant, especially when 'Lass' turns up wearing a green jacket. Daragh O'Mally is typically good as Harper. Sean Bean is as good as always, and Harris gets a larger part in this one, whilst he works hard trying to crack the Voltaire code. Harris always comes up with the appropriate one-liners. If you have seen any of the other Sharpe series, and not enjoyed them so much, you should see Sharpe's sword, as it is brilliant. It is very funny at the end when Father Curtis tricks Harper into marring Ramona. Harper:"I thought you said I was going to die, Father!" Father Curtis: "We're all going to die, ...
