Average Rating:	Middlemarch [1994] starring: Juliet Aubrey, Robert Hardy, Douglas Hodge, Peter Jeffrey, Trevyn McDowell directed by: Anthony Page April 05, 1994		Used Price: Â£3.94
I love peroid dramas and was running out of ones to watch. I didn't see this at the time because I was only 8 years old, but I stumbled across it recently and ordered it. The plot follows the lifes of the residents of Middlemarch through weddings, deaths and scandals. Well infused with humour, mainly provided by Mr Brooke and his hopes for election. Rufus Sewell (Will Ladislaw) is amazing as the romantic lead, giving Mr Darcy a run for his money! Juliet Aubrey also plays the gentle, sweet Dorothea Brooke perfectly. Two of my favourite characters were Fred and Mary. The romance of the Doctor and his wife is bittersweet and again the actors are fantastic. Highly recommended and a must ...

Average Rating:	Still Crazy [1998] starring: Stephen Rea, Billy Connolly, Jimmy Nail, Timothy Spall, Bill Nighy directed by: Brian Gibson July 01, 2002		Used Price: Â£1.40
I really enjoyed this movie, which worked for me on several levels, or at least across several generations. I was there in the seventies listening to bands like Strange Fruit, and the film got the feel of those times right. Now I'm an old geezer like the band members, and the film got the feel of that right too. Connolly as roadie was a good choice, providing a salty anchor for the sometimes thin narrative. One thing that seems 'off' about the way the film was promoted is the praise heaped on Mick Jones (Spooky Tooth, Foreigner) and Chris Difford (Squeeze) for the great music. Their names don't even appear in the IMDB listing for the film and I got the impression that the real force behind the music was Steve Donnelly, who is credited ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Sherlock Holmes - The Last Vampyre [1993] starring: Jeremy Brett, Edward Hardwicke, Roy Marsden, Keith Barron, Yolanda Vazquez directed by: Tim Sullivan (III) August 05, 2002		Used Price: Â£1.50
This isn't as good as some of the other feature-length adaptations, but it's still pretty good. Where it is let down is by its obvious padding, and the fact that where it tries to be effectively chilling, in a sort of Hammer-ish way, it fails. It is redeemed though by the quality of acting, not just by Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke as Holmes and Watson, but Keith Barron (simply excellent) as the bereaved father, and Roy Marsden as the enigmatic man all the villagers suspect of being a vampire, which brings in the perennial topic of the natural distrust a close-knit community has of outsiders. A classy little novelty act. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Bertie And Elizabeth [2002] starring: James Wilby, Alan Bates, Eileen Atkins, Dolly Wells, William Mickleburgh directed by: Giles Foster June 10, 2002		Used Price:
This was a high-quality production and pretty accurate historically, at least as far as I can tell from my reading of various biographies and other books relating to the British Royal Family. The only problem I had with this teleplay was its presentation of the character of Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor. There is one scene in particular, which shows him grabbing Wallis Simpson's backside, which is completely out of character for him. Anyway SHE would have bitten his head off if he'd tried anything like that with her in "real life", because she was always (despite anything else that can be said about her) very conscious of her dignity, as he was also...I suppose the filmmaker needed to "dramatize" what a selfish, self-centered person Edward ...

Average Rating:	Iris [2002] starring: Judi Dench, Jim Broadbent, Kate Winslet, Hugh Bonneville, Eleanor Bron directed by: Richard Eyre November 04, 2002		Used Price: Â£0.26
Prolific English novelist Iris Murdoch (The Sea, the Sea, Under the Net) was a lover of words and the power of language. She was quite the avant-garde free-thinker as a young professor and the shy, stuttering John Bayley seemed an unlikely match for her, but fall in love they did and they shared a long and loving marriage. The movie focuses on Iris' battle with Alzheimer's disease, which gradually robbed her of the ability to use her beloved words. John cared for her and loved her until the end. This is simply the best movie I've seen in a long time; the acting is superb as is the script. Judi Dench gives a stunning performance as Iris. It is heartbreaking to watch her steady decline, knowing how it must end. She was nominated for, but did not receive ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Extremely Dangerous [1999] starring: Sean Bean, Juliet Aubrey, Ralph Brown, Alex Norton, Sean Gallagher directed by: Sallie Aprahamian November 29, 1999		Used Price: Â£11.49
If you like thrillers,which keeps you on the edge of the chair,you must see this movie. Sean Beans performance is very tense and convincing.Wrongfully being accussed of having brutaly murded his wife and 4 year old daughter, he is hated by everybody.The purpose of his escape is; revenge and to clear his name... It is a must see. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Welcome To Sarajevo [1997] starring: Stephen Dillane, Woody Harrelson, Marisa Tomei, Emira Nusevic, Kerry Fox directed by: Michael Winterbottom December 27, 2000		Used Price: Â£0.90
This movie shows the truth of the agression by the serbian forces, it isn't a biased movie by any stretch of the imagination, rather it doesn't take a political viewpoint, it instead focuses on combining real life footage with a strong true to life story. If you can't believe that serbs really planed this attack, and don't want to believe they are guilty for mass murder, you should find a more fictional movie or book, but history has what happend and this movie shows a large part of that history. by the way it's actually an excellent piece of film making and it takes you on an informing and very good emotional journey. >>More Details
