Sylvia 78 reviews Gwyneth Paltrow, Daniel Craig
Universal Studios, 2004
A disservice to Sylvia
I'd have given this movie 3 stars if it weren't for the brilliant performances of its cast. Despite an unforgettable portrayal from Gwyneth Paltrow of a haunted, tormented soul in a performance that is almost disturbing, the film glossed over Sylvia Plath's relationship to her art while focusing ...

Girl With a Pearl Earring 216 reviews Colin Firth, Scarlett Johansson
Lions Gate, 2004
If Vermeer Was Brit
This beautifully made film is worth seeing for the heavily meditated transmission of 17th century Dutch art to the screen, a stunning achievement. Delft is wonderfully recreated based on the works of Vermeer and many other painters. The basic story line about a Calvinist girl warily going into a ...

Boudicca - Warrior Queen
I found this programme more convincing than many of its kind, for the very reason that the previous reviewer seems to dislike it. It is not a fault not to take sides even if one is led by a woman who is also Celtic. No matter how romantic the images that that combination may evoke all it amounts ...
