Warrior Queen - The Good and the bad.
Warrior Queen I very much enjoyed the movie. I had first seen it on PBS's Masterpiece Theater. This show that uses fictional works, rather than a documentary approach. Using the works of Tacitus and Cassius Dio to guide him, Andrew Davies, who wrote the screenplay for the movie, tells a story that is basically true but uses also uses speculation to fill in the gaps of knowledge left by the ...

Perfect Halloween Movie
My sister and I love Halloween, and this movie is a perfect one to watch to get in the appropriate spirit. In addition to fine acting, the special effects and artistic rendition of Sleepy Hollow is classic Tim Burton. Fabulous!

Good movie, Great actor
I will admit that I saw this movie because I wanted to see the marvelous Casper Van Dien in a film partially clothed. Part of the beautiful scenery was the african locations and the other part of the beautiful scenery was the partially clothed Casper Van Dien. He is a man that has a beautiful body and is a celebration of the male body. Yes, this movie for me was a guilty pleasure. The movie ...

Gabriel Byrne, Helen Mirren

Miramax, 2003

Castles and Kings
Features a younger Christian Bale (made in 1993). Gabriel Byrne is great, as usual, as the brother of the king, who murders the king. Bale is the son of the king, and feigns madness when his father is murdered-mainly to stay alive and let his uncle claim the throne. Revenge comes later. Based on legend. Different, and entertaining.

interesting
interesting this movie is. you'll find yourself CONSTANTLY saying "why did she do that?!" or "why did he do that?!"...i said it to myself so many times in the movie that i almost couldn't concentrate. but it's a great movie anyways. just don't think about why he/she did what they did and just focus on the main part of the movie and i think you may enjoy it. i loved it.

Truly, Madly, Deeply
If you've ever been in love with someone, who, for whatever reason can't absolutely return your feelings, you will sympathize with Emma Thompson as Carrington. Both delicately and passionately told, the love between Dora and Lytton Strachey is told in sections, titled with the names of other lovers and the houses they all live in. Although the subject matter includes pre-and extra-marital ...

Robert Carlyle has yet another opportunity to showcase his considerable talent in a great crime thriller. The movie opens with an excellent robbery scene that soon devolves into a clash of greed, personalities, and intrigue. The depth of characterization portrayed is far beyond the typical Hollywood production, and Carlyle is aided considerably by great performances by Ray Winstone, Leana ...

I go to movies for entertainment, and unless the movie has been touted as a 100%, bona fide accurate portrayal of the subject, then I have no problem if facts are embellished. This is Ridley Scott's vision of Christopher Columbus and his quest for the New World, and he has artistic license to create his vision and in my opinion did so magnificently with this film. I never got the feeling that ...
