Customer Review: As a fan of British period films - I expected this Anne Bronte film to be whimsical like many BBC productions - but was pleasantly surprised at the haunting darkness of the story. The lead female, played by Tara Fitzgerald, is almost repulsive in her abrasive and aloof character at first... but... more info
Customer Review: This is a charming tale. Everyone was well casted for their respective roles. Another winner from Hugh Grant. And not just a 'chick flik'. I recomend this one highly for everyone over the age of 10.
Customer Review: Not at all a major fan of crime series and certainly not of the past years "virtual rape" by hit series such as CSI (and its multiple off springs) I very reluctantly opened up for series 6 of the show recently. In Denmark each double episode is shown together with no commercial interruption so it... more info
Customer Review: Masterpiece Theater's latest remake of "Elizabeth I" is a turgid portrayal of the first queen of England. Her father, Henry VIII, desired a son so much he took six wives--ironically,his daughter took the throne. "The Virgin Queen" is a step far below the famous portrayals of Glenda Jackson, Cate... more info
Customer Review: Sirens At first I thought this would be a light comedy--a sexy and spirited comedy. But it is not that at all. True, there's witty dialogue and some humorous moments, but Sirens is a deeper tred into a world where paganism and Christianity collide. The Reverend Campion (Hugh Grant)... more info
Customer Review: I lived through the mining strike - and the closing of our pit - in another small British pit village. I knew many of the players in the band, similarly a top band (ironically, featured regularly on the BBC throughout). Every time I watch this film, which I do fairly regularly, it brings it all... more info
Customer Review: Some of you may not have heard of Wilkie Collins. He was a great friend of Charles Dickens. "Women in White" is a novel that was written for Dickens' literary magazine and appeared in serialization about the same time that "A Tale of Two Cities" was also being published. The novel itself is 720... more info
Customer Review: This is a very well written, directed, and acted film. It is gripping, entertaining, and engaging all throughout its length. The characters are real, the fears and hopes are real, and I just really enjoyed this movie. The film follows the course of several Czechoslovakian pilots who cannot... more info
Customer Review: Marvellously acted. A very saucy story with a great deal of humour.
Jennifer Ehle was outstanding and Paul Eddington irritating but played his
part to perfection.
Customer Review: I bought this book for my children in the 1980s as they became old enough to read. I read it back then and found it pleasant. In April/May 2008 I re-read it after noticing E. Nesbit was honored in the pages of one of my favorite books, Half Magic. My youngest daughter, as an 8 year old, read Five... more info
