Review of The Notebook (DVD)

Incredible

Advantages: Everything, Storyline, soundtrack, actors,
Disadvantages: Only 10 episodes, some special effects are now a bit dated but mostly fine.

I've loved Band of Brothers since it came out years ago. Each of the episodes has something special about it. Each episode is an hour long and almost like a mini film. The whole experience is incredibly cinematic and for anybody who loved "Saving Private Ryan" etc... this will be ideal. I've watched this series a few times and each time it is enjoyable. The cast is huge and not one performance disappoints. Damien Lewis carries the series well. I've ...
...is enhanced and even more enjoyable. The special effects can be dated if you look closely but on the whole are incredible. It would take an essay to describe everything a thing is good about this series. I'll finish by saying I've recommended this series to many people and nobody has regretted watching it. ...

...history - some histories of the British royal family come with handy genealogy charts, showing the progress of royals through the ages in graphic format. Often, the younger children, the 'also rans' of the royal story, are left off the charts, unless they attained fame some other way, or unless they married well. For those royal children who died in infancy or childhood, history is most unkind - they aren't even in the footnotes or indices. Such ...
...epilepsy, he was (according to the custom of the time) kept out of the public eye. Being rather low on the pecking order, he likely never would have attracted much attention, but with his disability, in a world that did not quite know how to regard those with disabilities, he was indeed an outcast, however royal. The teleplay shows an interplay of the private life of Prince John and his caregivers, particularly the deeply devoted servant and nanny, ...

Review of The Lost Prince (DVD)

A Sunday evening lesson worth watching

Advantages: A cinematic delight, with a fantastic script
Disadvantages: I cannot think of one

...is fair to say that the Shawshank Redemption is by far, one of the most influential and important films of the late 20th Century. Why do I make such a huge statement....well, simply because I have never seen a film that made me laugh, cry, sigh, wince, scream, gasp and lose my faith in humanity...only to gain it back again at the end. I would say that most people who go to buy this film today would know the premis behind the story, a well to do and ...
...of racism, homosexuality, prison brutality, the abuse of power, the abuse of religion and importantly, how the institutions many of us cherish can end up failing people and being abused. The film is gritty, dark and sometimes humourous. It is so many things. It i sthe kind of film that ne needs to sit down to watch late on a sunday evening....but not too late as it will keep you awake thinking about it. Particularly the ending which is magical. My ...
