Review of Message In A Bottle (DVD)

Henry V. DVD ... 'Cry God for Harry!'

Advantages: Educational, entertaining and historical.
Disadvantages: Iambic pentameter isn't for everyone. Almost no extra features.

Henry V is available on DVD in a 1989 production directed by, and starring, Kenneth Branagh. This is a direct and edgy story about England’s war with France in which the flower of the French aristocracy were slaughtered in the mud of Agincort beneath a rain of arrows from English longbow men. Derek Jacobi is the chorus who introduces the stage on which this ‘muse of fire’ will burn, and it is a modern one with electric lights and props. I’ve seen ...
...who favoured his company in Henry IV Part One, has now rejected his lower connections and assumed the mantle of royal responsibilities. Derek Jacobi appears on the White Cliffs of Dover to introduce a scene in which three English lords, Scroop, Richard, and Grey, are revealed to be traitors. Henry pretends to be on good terms with them, and then sentences them each to death. The working class subplot continues with Bardolph, Nym, Mistress Quickly, ...

Review of Henry V (DVD)

ITV drama at its best

Advantages: Twelve and a half hours of quality entertainment
Disadvantages: No extras, expensive

...celebrate 50 years of the ITV channel, the set is made up of 8 discs in all, all key episodes from well-known dramas of the last 15 years or so. These include: Cracker - One Day a Lemming Will Die Brief synopsis: A young boy is found hanging from a tree in the middle of a wood. It is not at first clear whether he committed suicide or was murdered. Either way, his death seems to be linked to the fact that he was gay. Opinion: Robbie Coltrane, as ...
...the great dramas shown on ITV over the last few years. Just a couple of criticisms - the boxset was supposed to be celebrating the last 50 years of ITV, but all the dramas included were from the last 15 years or so. I'm surprised there wasn't more of a mix of older dramas, of which I'm sure there is any number. Another is, of course, the price. When you can get choice episodes like these free with a newspaper, it does make this set rather expensive ...

Provoked A True Story

Advantages: Story, Performances..
Disadvantages: Screenplay, Direction ...

Provoked is a movie based on true story and is based on domestic violence issue. It is about Kiranjit Ahluwalia from Britain, this incident happened way back in 1990. Cast : Aishwarya Rai, Naveen Andrews, Miranda Richardson, Nandita Das. Directed by Jag Mundhra Story: The movie starts of with showing Aishwarya Rai burning his husband Naveen Andrews alive when he is sleeping, so it confuses you why is it happening then it shows in flashback about ...
...this to her. Well provoked for me has a good story but it just does not live up to the expectations. It is good in some patches but dies in some. So on the whole if you have not watch this movie i can recommend you to watch this movie once just to get know more about this real story and what happened. I have this review on Dooyoo under the same username... ...
