Bond, Pierce Brosnan as Bond...
1995's "Goldeneye" was the first of four forays by Pierce Brosnan as James Bond; it can fairly be said to have revived the 007 franchise. From its heartstopping opening sequence in a Russian Weapons Lab to its thrilling action finale at a satellite groundstation complex in Cuba, the action never stops coming. The movie opens with the standard pre-credits action sequence. Bond and fellow ...

There is a reason
There is a simple explanation for why someone would give a bad rating for this movie...they have never known what it's like to have loved and lost or almost lost someone. This movie makes sense to people who believe to have met their soul mate. That magical connection that Noah and Alli portray is only something some of us get to experience and understand. Therefore, this movie gets five ...

Personally, I am a big fan of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. He is one of my favorites. This DVD is strongly recommended by me because it holds a very reasonable price tag as well as the fantastic film reproduction in DTS 5.1 which gives awesome sound quality. Do not miss out on this excellent DVD. Look out also for other James Bond series that has been digitally reproduced for the ultimate ...

ABSORBED
"Dandelion Dead" is a really riveting presentation. It kind of sneaked up on me. At first, I found myself just enjoying the recreation, on screen, of a very idyllic time (1920) and place (small country town) with the seemingly gentle and harmless character of Major Herbert Armstrong played superbly by Michael Kitchen along with his most irritating wife wonderfully (and surprisingly for me) ...

The Second Battle of Hastings
The last time England was invaded it was by the Normans in 1066 where they prevailed at the Battle of Hastings. Fast forward nearly 900 years to Hastings in 1940 the first real year of the Second World War. Fortress Europe has fallen to the Nazi war machine and rumors of invasion feel real to the residents of Hastings. But like the clear breezy days before a hurricane, life and preparations go ...

Love Foyle's War
What a great series...have watched 1-4 and can't wait for season 5 to be out. Wonderful, engaging characters and the insight to what was going on in England while the war was raging in Europe is touching and educational. I've hooked my 70 year old parents on it!

The House of Cards series
Short and sweet, and to the point: This is my all-time favorite series. I liked these stories so much that I bought all three books Michael Dobbs wrote that this series was based upon (same titles as the series) and they were equally as enjoyable, but with a twist. Ususally you find that the movie made from a book is not as good, however in this BBC series the movies were made BETTER than the ...

Foyle's War
This was one of the most intriguing series on PBS. I bought all 4 years (16 DVDs)and don't regret it for a minute. I am now lending them to a friend who is in complete agreement with me! Michael Kitchen is superb in his quiet understated role as a Chief Police Inspector in a small town in England at the start of WW2. The crime and wartime influences on the town are spellbinding and I am amazed ...

one to watch and watch again
I read this book over and over as a teen but it had been perhaps twenty years since my last reading when I found this dvd in the library. Upon reflection, I think I have to agree with the reviewer who found this portrayal of Lorna unsatisfactory as her range did feel pretty limited. However, I have long since forgotten that first minor impression in the spell that the rest of the production ...

A Love Story Like No Other!
Reckless Okay, I admit to being more than a little prejudiced here. I absolutely LOVE this DVD! Even ten years on, it has all the charm, drama and poignancy of the first showing on Masterpiece Theatre. It's the story of young Owen Springer, a cheeky (and sexy) doctor transferred to a Manchester hospital who falls in hopelessly love with an older woman (Francesca Annis) who just happens to ...

Checking Out The Cracks in Glasnost
The movie "Russia House," starring Sean Connery and Michelle Pfeiffer, is based on the spy novel of the same name, by that master spy-meister, the British John LeCarre. It's a very acute look at Russia, just as their "Glasnost," policy of openness begins to end --but not quite-- the cold war. The talented British playwright Tom Stoppard adapted the script, largely faithful to the novel. The ...

Best "adaptation" seen in a while
Eileen Atkins screenplay based on the classic modernist novel by Virginia Woolf is about as close as a screenwritter can get to duplicate the tone and dialouge, including following the novel's plot from the start to its interesting conclusion. Vanessa Redgrave was perfect casting for the older Clarissa Dalloway and the beautiful Natascha McElhone as the young Clarissa, too, a good casting ...

A 13-year-old's perspective
This movie by the BCC is based on the book The Railway Children by E. Nesbit. It hardly omits anything. The actors depict the simplicity and good-heartedness of the children, and none of the side-plots are skipped. For example, the children bring the broken-down Russian into their house without thinking twice. Even though they realize that they are poor, they see his distress and want to help ...

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 ...

Tour-de-force performance by Michael Kitchen
"Falling." What a wonderful title! After seeing this film, "falling" brings to mind stepping up to the brink, closing your eyes, and taking a plunge--without ever looking. For fans of Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle, (played by Michael Kitchen in "Foyle's War"), this movie is a superb opportunity to see a lot more of the actor (without so many other characters murdering each ...
