...- Ludlow THE FILM When 'The Aviator', directed by Martin Scorsese, was fist released in 2004 I quite fancied watching it but just never got round to doing so. While ordering some books from Amazon I looked up the DVD and as it was only £1, I added it to my order. In retrospect - I'm glad that it was only £1!! The story follows around twenty tears in the life of the infamous, eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes from his making of his epic ...

...the mid 1970’s, which is when I first watched it, it is set immediately following the First World War. There are four series. A Total of 42.5 hours of very excellent TV. You get all this for £49.99 from Amazon, or £56.99 at Play.com. When I bought it cost about £120. I think this would make a great present for anyone over 50. Though I think younger people would get a great deal out of watching it. It shows how many people struggled to survive at ...

Review of When The Boat Comes In - The Complete Series (Box Set) (DVD)

But where does it all lead!

Advantages: intriguing film
Disadvantages: none

I had never heard of the film 'The Door in the Floor' until I read a review about it on Dooyoo a few weeks ago. I probably would not have thought much more about it if the reviewer had nor referred to the fact that it was based on a John Irving novel - 'A Widow for one Year'.

I later discovered by watching a feature of John Irving talking about the film that it only focuses on the first part of the novel, which probably explains why I did not recognise it that much. I am therefore in no position to say how true it is to the novel, but in John Irving's commentary, he is very happy with it. The film is about ...
