Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Advantages: Actors' performances, not too serious.
Disadvantages: Sometimes confusing.

...I'm glad to say that Pride and Prejudice was not the same. I was impressed by the cast members' performances, they all seemed to successfully pull-off their characters roles. I think this is because most of the characters are very well developed, but I feel some could have been portrayed in a more obvious way. It was often hard to decide what a character was feeling, but this didn't happen too often. The only downside is that sometimes parts of the ...
...miss out important details, perhaps expecting the audience to understand what is going on without them having to tell us. Because there are so many different stories and plots, the fact that certain details are missing means that sometimes it is easy to become confused. The story in general is wonderful and extremely interesting. It may appeal less to younger viewers but to any romantics-at-heart it is an excellent film! I would really recommend ...

Shagadelic drama

Advantages: Provocative, humorous, gripping and unique
Disadvantages: Might be a bit too rude for some people

...appears from under the duvet, between her legs. However, it is not just this couple having problems in the sack. Alona and her fiancee Paul (Richard Armitage) have similar issues, as he can't get it up for her. This story develops throughout the entire series, with a sinister turn of events. Her teenage son is also shagging the au pair, Peter and Hazel's son Simon (James Thornton) has an affair with one of his dad's ex's, and the story of Hazel discovering ...
...be a lesbian) all combine to construct a powerful, thought-provoking and shocking drama with humorous interludes. My favourite episode is the last one, as the stories', which have twisted and turned throughout, are all wrapped up, culminating in emotional tirades of grief. Priced at around £15, this is very good value for a re-watchable and enjoyable drama series. Unfortunately, there was no second series, probably due to the fact that all loose ...

★TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR ★

...Little voice (Jane Horrocks) is the name of the main character, well it's actually Laura, but that fact is only mentioned once by Little Voice herself in a fit of anger to her Mother in the later stages of the film . She appears to be around age twenty though this is never confirmed. Little voice is a painfully shy and quiet girl, rarely leaving the confines of her bedroom, and never leaving the safety of her house. When she does talk, which is rarely, ...

Fly fishing and drinking in Montana

Advantages: Gentle story, well-filmed
Disadvantages: Goes on for too long

...drinks and womanizes and gets a job as a fishing reporter. Then Norman falls in love with the beautiful Jessie. All seems to be going well, for Norman, but Paul is falling into more and more debt from gambling and it seems that he will never be able to find a way out. Is it because he feels he is in his brother's shadow? Will he ever be able to set himself on the straight and narrow? Norman is played by Craig Sheffer, an actor I don't think I have ...
...UK. As Norman, he gives a more than creditable performance, although it has to be said that Norman isn't the most exciting of characters. He is likeable though and the love he clearly has for his brother is touching. I much prefer Brad Pitt as Paul Maclean though. Pitt was still very young at this point (the film was made in 1992), and he looks amazing - but it is his bad boy characters that is so attractive. There is obviously a lot more going on ...
