Average Rating:	Slap Shot [1977] starring: Paul Newman, Strother Martin, Michael Ontkean, Jennifer Warren, Lindsay Crouse directed by: George Roy Hill July 01, 1999		Used Price: Â£0.49
Paul newman is class itself as the leather adorned ,abusive ,crooked but delightful hockey coach in a great sports comedy dealing with the on field and behind the scenes adventures of an ice-hockey team . it is screwball,pantomime ,satire whatever but never has a dull moment to reckon . there are multiple strands and lots of foul mouted, sordid ,sporty men with loads of profanities both verbal and visual but it is all relevantly integrated into the compact script. roy hill was a really great maker who had a great sense of comic timing and he has a script to reckon with a fabulous cast -the results are an exemplary sports genre comedy for all times. newman aged really gracefully and he ...

Average Rating:	The Rector's Wife [1994] starring: Miles Anderson, Thomas Bradford, Orla Brady, Eliza Buckingham, Jonathan Coy directed by: Giles Foster April 11, 1994		Used Price: Â£21.98
The reader will not have to read many reviews about Giles Foster's 1994 adaptation of Joanna Trollope's (b.1943) novel of the same name before he or she realizes that there is considerable disagreement about the merits and flaws of this production. Without giving too much away, the essence of the main plot is thus; Anna is the Rev Peter Boverie's apparently long-suffering wife. She is in her early forties. Increasingly, Anna discerns that she has become, over the twenty years or so of their 'togetherness', rather too tightly and robustly clamped by and within the ecclesiastical mechanism of the Church of England - along with its encumbent ritual duties, expectations, taboos and the like. The plot in both the book and in this DVD of Channel 4's ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Oliver Twist [1999] starring: Sam Smith, David Ross, Julie Walters, Roger Lloyd-Pack, Ger Ryan directed by: Renny Rye March 27, 2000		Used Price: Â£2.75
I just watched Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist, and like the critics didn't think much of it. But this really is a Masterpiece. Everybody knows the story of Oliver Twist so you really have to do a good film. This stays true to Dickens and is just brilliant! I just hope it comes out on DVD in the UK :( >>More Details

Average Rating:	Mansfield Park [1999] starring: Frances O'Connor, Lindsay Duncan, James Purefoy, Sheila Gish, Harold Pinter directed by: Patricia Rozema March 12, 2001		Used Price: Â£1.09
I have to say that I am astonished to see how poorly this film is rated by many other reviewers. I've read a Jane Austen or two, but not Mansfield Park. Consequently, when I saw this film for the first time I thought it was great, and I still do because I still haven't read the book. It's clear from reading the many other reviews that the makers of this film have greatly upset the Austen purists by substantially altering the story and characters and bringing in non-original elements such as the references to slavery, which anyone could guess was where the family money must have come from. However, the fact remains that this is a very, very decent film in its own right. Frances O' Connor's Fanny Price - whether she resembles ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Perfect Strangers [2001] starring: Michael Gambon, Lindsay Duncan, Matthew Macfadyen, Claire Skinner, Toby Stephens directed by: Stephen Poliakoff May 14, 2001		Used Price: Â£2.69
In "Almost Strangers," Stephen Poliakoff weaves a subtle spell. I recall thoroughly enjoying the engaging story and the superb acting--after all, one cannot miss with Michael Gambon, Matthew Macfadyen, and Toby Stephens--when, totally unawares, I had become so entranced with the stories within the story of an extended family, that I had to watch all 237 minutes of it at one sitting. Since the story is told from the point of view of Daniel (the son of the black sheep of the clan), who knows very little about the rest of the family, the viewer is put into a similar position, first of discomfort, as he confronts the stereotypes concomittant with meeting strangers, and finally of fascinated affection, as he slowly unravels the startling secrets not only of his family but also ...

Average Rating:	A Midsummer Night's Dream [1996] starring: Lindsay Duncan, Alex Jennings, Desmond Barrit, Finbar Lynch, Osheen Jones directed by: Adrian Noble September 04, 2000		Used Price: Â£3.20
I thought this production of A Midsummer Night's Dream was outstanding. Alex Jennings is searingly sinister as Oberon and Lindsay Duncan makes a formidable Titania. Adrian Noble directs with great visual imagination and flair. Desmond Barrit is superb as Bottom. I thought the device of introducing The Boy (and having The Boy introduce us to the play) worked especially well. The whole production is colourful, rich, powerful and strange - just as it should be. Highly recommended. Any criticisms? Just one. They should have cleaned up the print and remastered it for the DVD transfer. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Simon Schama A History Of Britain - Part Two [2000] starring: Simon Schama, Michael Kitchen, Samuel West, Lindsay Duncan, David Threlfall September 09, 2002		Used Price: Â£15.00
Schama really gets his teeth into the period covered in the second series of the History of Britain. The arguments are stronger, the people and situations become more alive. This may be because he knows the period better, or because, being closer to us historically, there's a greater wealth of information with which to make a better analysis, or because he himself has simply grown as a TV-historian since the first series. Whatever, what you get is a series of pithy documentaries detailing the underlying reasons why our history evolved as it did. I particularly enjoyed the programme on the birth of Empire. In it, Schama pulls no punches whatsoever, and offers an intriguing and convincing explanation as to why Britain's imperial aspirations became corrupted, turning our policies from those of liberty ...

Average Rating:	A Year In Provence [1993] starring: Susie Blake, Claire Toeman, John Thaw, Lindsay Duncan, Jean-Pierre Delage directed by: David Tucker August 20, 2001		Used Price: Â£4.99
When A year in Provence first hit the TV screens , the reviews by so called critics were lukewarm to say the least. Viewing statistics plummeted throughout the series and ended up being watched by a handful of diehards. If the above info was correct , I can only imagine that the backbone of the british viewing public has been totally brainwashed into only watching what the critics recommend. This series is one of the finest productions that the media industry has ever produced. John Thaw and Lindsay Duncan are superb ,as are the multitude of French actors / Actresses. My particular favourites are Mon Collumbarnie (the plumber) and M Marcel (the Postman) . The scenery is gentle and relaxing as are the charming villages. The storyline of a diary of french life during one year is well constructed ... Read More: >>More Details
