DVD: Richard Coyle ...     DVD:       Coupling - The Complete Seasons 1-4134 reviews Jack Davenport, Gina Bellman BBC Warner, 2005 Coupling 1-4 This is witty humor, grown up style. Funny & entertaining. Each character is well writen and interesting. Too bad the series ended only after 4 seasons, I whish they made more.             A Good Year (Full-Screen Edition)124 reviews Freddie Highmore, Albert Finney 20th Century Fox, 2007 Great movie! We loved this movie and will, no doubt, watch it more then once as it is just a feel good movie.             Lorna Doone56 reviews Martin Clunes, Richard Coyle A&E Home Video, 2001 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 ...             The Jacket129 reviews Adrien Brody, Keira Knightley Warner Home Video, 2005 A second chance to do the right thing For me a good science fiction film deals more with human nature than it does with cool gadgetry and special effects. Take for instance 2001, Solaris (the original), La Jetee or 12 Monkeys, Gattaca, Children of Men and Blade Runner (yes, I know it has flying cars but that's besides the point), all these films were concerned with human nature either subjectively or objectively. Such is the case ...             James and the Giant Peach (Special Edition)72 reviews Paul Terry, Joanna Lumley Walt Disney Video, 2000 Great Innocent Fun I saw it twice in theaters when it first came out. This is a wonderful story of courage that should be read to a child first then show them the DVD to bring their imagination alive.             Coupling - The Complete First Season122 reviews Jack Davenport, Gina Bellman BBC Warner, 2003 The best of BBC This is one of the best comedy series released by BBC along with "my family" and the all time classic "fawlty towers". The characters are well developped, the acting is really good and the script is very witty. I have to say that for a comedy it doesn't get much better than this. I just bought the box of the whole series, my wife loves it as well.             A Good Year (Widescreen Edition)124 reviews Russell Crowe, Freddie Highmore 20th Century Fox, 2007 Great movie! We loved this movie and will, no doubt, watch it more then once as it is just a feel good movie.             Human Traffic59 reviews Jo Brand, Richard Coyle Miramax, 2000 The official start to your evening All I have to say is that this film used to be a seminal part of the build up to my nights on the town. Re-discovered it again recently and still love it! It isnt a complex film but you feel part of the build up, part of the craziness and the slow comedown at the end. It even takes the odd pot shot at the drug culture that makes up the core of this film. The whole soundtrack is fantastic and ...             The Libertine138 reviews Johnny Depp, Paul Ritter Weinstein Company, 2006 Depp best performance Although this movie is only for adults, it is Johnny Depp's best acting role. His performance shows his range in acting from comedy to drama. He has absorbed the person of John Wilmot and when the movie is over you feel as if you knew the man. A great work overlooked for an Oscar and one day will be a must have for all Depp collections and admirers.             Coupling - The Complete Second Season38 reviews Jack Davenport, Gina Bellman BBC Warner, 2003 Even funnier Cioupling is even funnier in the second season. By now, if you have seen the first season (if not you must) you know the characters and you sympathise with them and you attempt to predict what will happen next. You actually can't as it is funnier than you think. Buy it and laugh over and over again             Happy Now2 reviews Ioan Gruffudd, Susan Lynch S.A.V. A Quircky, Weird, Funny Little Treat I stumbled upon this little film and despite my admiration for several of the actors in it, I didn't expect it to be that good because it has never had an official release in the US or UK (where it was made) but I was pleastantly surprised. If you watch it as a thriller it's not good. I think it's meant to be watched as a black comedy. The gallows humor was approprate and made me laugh quite ...             Wives and Daughters172 reviews Justine Waddell, Bill Paterson BBC Warner, 2001 Entertaining! There are three DVD's in this package and I wished that the story would have never ended. I would have loved to have had more to watch! (The one DVD is of the making of the series.) The directors and screen writers did an excellant job with this movie. It was made for TV, so there are breaks in the movie but this can be useful if you want to watch it over several days. Enjoy it.             The Duchess of Duke Street - Series 124 reviews Gemma Jones, John Cater Acorn Media, 2005 Fifteen glorious hours I loved this when I first saw it on Masterpiece Theater, and loved it just as much watching this DVD set. The sets, costumes, and of course the incredible food give a glimpse into the atmosphere of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. The superb acting and rich screenplay offer a corresponding glimpse into the lives of a certain class of people -- and those who serve them. Highly recommended.             The Life & Crimes of William Palmer2 reviews Keith Allen, Jayne Ashbourne Bfs Entertainment, 2005 TOP NOTCH ENTERTAINMENT... Keith Allen is a decidedly gifted actor, and perfectly cast in the unnerving lead, here. Well-supported by an equally strong cast. Solid directing. Beautiful, haunting score. The only complaint is that the story ended. But after murdering all those nice loved ones, I guess it was only a matter of time. This is rich, merciless stuff, indeed.             Coupling(Complete 4th Series) [Region 2]1 review Jack Davenport, Gina Bellman What? Jeff is gone and we only get six episodes? This cannot be good... If you were disappointed when you learned there were only two discs for Series Four of "Coupling," then the news that there are only episodes on the first of those two discs is going to be downright depressing. Given the results I have seen to date I appreciate the British idea of avoiding having a set number of episodes in any given series (read "season" on this side of the Pond) because that ...             Othello18 reviews Keeley Hawes, Eamonn Walker Acorn Media, 2002 Teaching Othello and Transformation? Look no further! I loved this "Othello" and as such, I highly reccommend it, for all that's worth. Especially if you are an English teacher looking for a successful and interesting transformation of Shakespeare's Othello into a contemporary context. This masterpiece theatre 2001 production is an excellent example of what is possible. Remember to look for the related Materpiece Theatre website resources that ...             Wives and Daughters172 reviews Justine Waddell, Bill Paterson Entertaining!
