Brideshead Revisited (25th Anniversary Collector's Edition)

99 reviews
Jeremy Irons, Anthony Andrews

Acorn Media, 2006

Back When TV Was (Occasionally) Great
I saw Brideshead Revisited for the first time over 25 years ago on PBS. For a boy my age it proved strangely compelling and revealed a world to me I had never seen and never will. Then, a decade later, I was old enough to appreciate the book itself which I have read twice over the years. I can honestly say that the TV adaptation is faithful to the book. Unfortunately, I have not seen the film yet ...

Twilight of the Virgin Queen
This is a great show!! I love the fact that this show is both accurate and interesting. Elizabeth is my FAVORITE historical figure and I Love it when I find a show that does her justice!! Helen Mirren is a great Elizabeth. She captures everything from Elizabeth's confidence and intelligence to her frustration and pervasiveness so perfectly. I love her! I wasn't so sure about Jeremy Irons as ...

The Lion King (Disney Special Platinum Edition)

Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Matthew Broderick

Walt Disney Video, 2003

Perfect film
I love this film for the five main reasons. Reason 1: I like all the characters in this except Scar, the main baddie. He annoys me just slightly (although I like his voice). Reason 2: The scenery portrays a beautiful vision of Africa and it makes me feel like I'm really there. Reason 3: The plot is very beautiful and it has made me want to read "Hamlet" on which the plot was based! Reason 4: This ...

William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice

Shakespeare tells us to doubt
This play by Shakespeare is worth a pound of gold, at least. It reveals with crudity one side of Shakespeare and Shakespeare's time most people would like to ignore: his supposed anti-Semitism. Everyone wants to ignore it because no one can see the double talk Shakespeare is a great master of. In his days Jews were seen as vultures, tolerated vultures but vultures all the same. Of course ...

Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]

Orlando Bloom, Eva Green

20th Century Fox, 2006

Much, Much Better Than The Theatrical Release
This is the film that should have been seen by everyone the theaters. The extended edition contains all of the character development that was missing in the original. In addition, there is a bit more attention to Balian's faith journey. I would still have liked to have seen more in that regard but happy for what there is now in the extended DVD.

Stealing Beauty

Carlo Cecchi, Sinéad Cusack

20th Century Fox, 2002

Good film.
Bernardo Bertolucci has given us another beautiful film. This one is set in the Italian countryside where a girl, coming of age, takes us through her confusions of love, sex, and people overall. With an amazing cast that is anchored by the always great Jeremy Irons, Stealing Beauty is a great emotional tale. Liv Tyler is beautiful beyond belief in this film and the story keeps you interested ...

Die Hard with a Vengeance

Bruce Willis, Jeremy Irons

20th Century Fox, 2007

Better than the other two.
One of my few day shifts at the post office, so I was able to go! The theater was right across from the plant and I met my buddy, Danny, who got free promo tickets for opening night or my buddy Dave won them but could not show. I can not remember, but I think it is the latter. It was exciting going to a premier showing; they had draws, local celebrities, save the Jets campaign, etc. The movie was ...

Love that Heath Ledger. Really played the romantic/fool to a "T". Excellent movie for all Heath fans!

Absurda / Rhino, 2007

Meaningful. Beautiful. Magnum Opus.
Firt off, I need to say that I would never insult or ridicule anyone for liking or disliking this or any other film, nor would I put anyone down for not understanding a film(especially one such as this).However, to insist that this film means "Nothing" would seriously make me doubt your cognitive abilities.You can dislike a film, not understand it, even dislike it BECAUSE you didn't understand ...

The Mission (Two-Disc Special Edition)

216 reviews
Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons

Warner Home Video, 2003

The reviewer's got it wrong!
Tom Keogh's editorial review got it wrong. This is a magnificent movie. The background is historically accurate. The music, much of which was written by South American composers during the 17th century, is flawlessly performed. The story is gripping, and one comes away with an accurate picture of what was going on at the time. It's one of the best movies I've seen in many years. It seems ...

Eragon...a boy and his dragon
Ever since I was a kid I've enjoyed stories and movies with dragons. When I saw this movie on NetFlix I rented it. I have NOT read the book so don't have knowledge of it to compare the movie to. I was looking for a fun, action packed fantasy movie and this wasn't a disappointment. It has the young hero and his dragon, the damsel in distress, the evil king, the sinister wizard, ghoulish armies, ...

In search of the truth against all the odds!
An icily aristocrat; a woman in comatose state in hospital bed and a fierce lawyer disposed to challenge the entire world against all odds, conform this dramatic premise that constitutes by far, the supreme masterpiece of this Swiss filmmaker: Barbet Schroeder. The cast is a fundamental factor to take into account; Jeremy Irons whop deserved his only Academy Prize; Ron Silver in the role of ...

New Line Home Video, 1998

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 ...

Human nature against New inventions.
As a veteran Airman ( I used to be a Combat Pilot for over 40 years ) and today the President of an Avionics Development and Production Company, I was exposed time and again to bureaucratic friction which works against any new invention. During my life time ( I am now 65 years old ) I have learnt that this phenomenom repeats itself through mankind history. It seams that the only thing that has ...

IRONS & DUNGEONS & DRAGONS -- Oh my!!!
Once upon a time in a land not so far away, a callow youth named Courtney Solomon had a dream. So he saved his pennies and at the tender age of 20, secured the film rights to DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, and thence pursued his Holy Grail: a big-screen version of the much-loved neo-medieval role-playing game. For 10 long years he wandered in the Holly Wood in search of the all-important Green Light, until ...

The French Lieutenant's Woman

Meryl Streep, Jeremy Irons

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

A classic
I saw this in the original release -- then I got to go to England, to Lyme Regis, to walk on the Cobb in a misty rain -- and it was magic. And so is this film. If you've read John Fowles' novel, you know what a challenge it was to make the film version. But, thanks to Harold Pinter, and everyone involved with the making of this film, most especially Streep and Irons, it remains a masterpiece!
