This fish is delicious...
I didn't think that I was going to adore this movie as much as I do; don't really know why, but my expectations were rather low. I know, Kline had won the Oscar and so maybe that should have sparked a little more interest, or at least faith in me, but I still saw this as a movie I was going to be mildly enthused about at best. I was so wrong, for as the film started rapidly drawing to a close I ...

great historical fiction
I love books that can provide good reading while teaching children what it would have been like to live in a different era. There are many books that feature eighteenth century children, but I have read few that are based during the industrial revolution, when children worked in the factories. This book deals with the hardships, diseases, and problems of children whose parents "hire" them out ...

Brilliant!
Has anyone who has reviewed this film observed the moment in the film when Heathcliff, as an adult, gazes down at the entrance to the cave where he and Cathy played together as children, and sees Cathy as a child? At the same moment, Cathy turns up to see his adult figure silouetted against the Sun. For one almost imperceptable moment, they see each other across time. The addition of this ...

"The Green Dress"
I got "William Shatner's A Twist in the Tale" for one reason, to see the story with Charles Mesure, "The Green Dress." While this story and the others focus on the supernatural adventures of children and younger teens, the adults' parts are also compelling. Nick and Brigid Martinelli (Charles Mesure and Michele Amas) are estranged over life choices. She always wanted a career on the stage and now ...

One of his best!
This is one of Francois Ozon's best films. I've read mixed reviews about it and I believe that's the standard for most of his films. So I went ahead and checked this one out. I'm glad I did because I sincerely enjoyed it. The story was tight and the lead actress who played Angel was good. I've read some reviews where some found her capricious and insolent and I could see that. But despite all ...

Touching, Real Story
My husband and I often rent or buy films about WWII. His father was a pilot who suffered severe injuries in the war. He married a girl from South Hampton. She worked in a factory throughout the war. Her father refused to go into bomb shelters. He'd sit on the lawn, drinking a pint, cursing the Germans. We had seen Steven MackIntosh in the "Prime Suspect," episode 5, wherein he played a hideously ...
