superb video
This is a wonderful film, superbly written and very well acted. It gives an idea of what it may have been like for the leaders of the early church, including the politics involved. I highly recommend it.

MGM (Video & DVD), 1999

Classic Bond
Traumatised by my ghasty experience of watching 'Casino Roayle', I decided to cheer myself up by watching a really good Bond movie. I never really cared that much for Pierce Brosnan by comparison with my favourite Bond, Roger Moore, but compared with the dreary nonentity in 'Casino Royale' Brosnan is a prince among men. This film has everything you want in a Bond movie. Among the many ...

Aristocrats
After just returning from Ireland for a 3 week driving trip around the entire country, I began researching Lord Edward Fitzgerald on the web, and came across "The Aristocrats" BBC film series. It is about his mother and her sisters, illegitimate descendants of King Charles(?) I think. I absolutly loved it! After reading so much Irish history from the Irish Catholic point of view,seeing the ...

Great movie...
Pass the popcorn around as you watch this movie. It is a sweet movie about finding love late in life and learning to live again.

You feel like you were there
The Bunker is one of those movies it seems everyone would find fascinating. Anthony Hopkins, as always, is excellent. I can find nothing to criticize about the movie, because the settings and characters seem authentic, the script intelligent and realistic, the (true) story fascinating, and no noticeable flaws distracting the viewer from the plot. I think the actress who played Eva Braun was ...

The best version of this classic!
This is a must have if you like Anne of Green Gables, The Man from Snowy River, or any of the Jane Austin's. I've seen other versions and this is by far the best. Funny and suspensful...still great after all these years. Perfect for the girls' night.

GREAT NAPOLEONIC WAR SERIES!
This collection three of the Sharpe series is more adventrous and suspenseful as the other Shapre series before it. In Sharpe's Regiment, both Sharpe and Harper find themselves being hunted down in London, while they try to crack down on a mysterious recruit shortage. In Sharpe's Siege, the rope tightens around Sharpe's neck, when he's surrounded in a castle with a small force against a large ...

Emotionally captivating with brilliant performances by Irons, Binoche and Richardson
[BEWARE SPOILERS] I don't know whether I've ever watched a film in which I identified more with all the characters than I did in this emotionally wrenching masterwork from the late, great Louis Malle. It is part of the genius of Malle to, like Shakespeare, make every character real and to see and present the depth of even those slightly off stage. I could begin with the youngest, the ...

Sean Bean, Brian Cox

BFS Entertainment, 1998

High adventure at it's best!
WONDERFUL!! The videos are as spellbinding as the novels! I can't take my eyes off Sean Bean - his Richard Sharpe is the kind of swashbuckling hero every woman dreams of! The rest of the series looks good, too - it draws the viewer into the nineteenth century and into the dirt, the frustration, the fear and the triumph of the common soldiers fighting for England against Napoleon. As a fan of ...

Touchstone / Disney, 1994

best of its day
The first thing to remember is that this movie is OLD. The special effects are state of the art; for its time. There have hundreds of new revelations about dinosaurs since this movie was made. So some of the dino-data is a bit outdated. As far as movies made before CGI it is very well done. I don't think modern day scientists would behave much differently than the "evil scientist" in the ...

A poor follow-on to a Woman of Substance
Being a great fan of the Woman of Substance, I was sorely disappointed in this 3rd entry in a trilogy about the Emma Harte legacy written by Barbara Taylor Bradford. This is soap opera trash at its worst. The plot devices are weak and quite distasteful: drugs, a prostitute turned shy wife, an over-the-top vindictive cousin/villain. The fight seens are choreographed so badly that I had to ...

BBC Warner, 2000

Grand finale
In this, the third and final part of the series of The House of Cards, Ian Richardson as Prime Minister, Francis Urquhart, is almost bored as PM as he has achieved all that he set out to do, corrupting a large portion of the parliament and plunging the country into two distinct sides of "haves" and "have nots". Never before in Britain have there been streets filled with homeless and desperate ...

A Great Classic
This is the best version of a wonderful classic story. I've watched three versions and this is my favorite. The caring, little New York boy suddenly becomes an English Lord and goes to live with a domineering grandfather. His mother, Dearest, is shunned in the house next door. Little Lord Fauntleroy teaches his grandfather and friends what love and caring are all about. The story is by the ...

Long Live Major Sharpe!
I enjoyed the Sharpe series as shown on PBS a few years ago on their "Masterpiece Theatre", but they only televised 4 episodes. Until recently, I hadn't realized how many episodes of "Sharpe" there were, but I was unable to afford the entire collection at USA prices. I went shopping in the UK, and discovered they had a complete collection at a fraction of the cost, and since I had purchased a ...
