Anna and the King personal view
Advantages: Great storyline, fantastic acting and good action shots
Disadvantages: Will not please die hard King and I fans
...Killers) - Jodie Foster as Anna Leonowens (Panic Room, Contact, Nell, Silence of the Lambs)
The Film is based on the diaries of Anna Leonowens, who died in Canada, Quebec from a stroke in 1915.
I think this is better than the original (King and I) despite my fondness of musicals. The acting is superb and there is a huge cast of extras.
I can't imagine how difficult this was to make a film with the costumes (that are superb) and locations involved.

...Fiesty teacher, recently widowed who travels to Siam to teach the children of King Mongkut. There she learns that Siam is very different from all that she knows back in England.
The film is set in the 1860s and the relationship between the Teacher and the King develops from a cold respect for each others values, into a love interest/ sparring contest.
Chow Yun-Fat is magnificent in the title role of the King and plays a philosophical Ruler with ...

Two for the road- a timeless classic
Advantages: Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney work so well together
Disadvantages: Slightly depressing...and too long!
...seems to be split into two sections- the happier first secion and the darker second. Arguement after arguement becomes rather monotonous in the second half, but the loveness of the pairing of Hepburn and Finney shines through. As always, Hepburn acts as rather a clothes horse during the film, and here we see her in a range of Mary Quant outfits, epitomising the 60's era. The film has many great locations from around Europe, and a lush and continual ...
...perfect direction to make this film such a memorable one, and change to what the audience would come to expect from an Audrey Hepburn picture. Sadly for Hepburn fans there are no extras on the DVD. It would have been nice to see some form of short documentary. ...

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 ...

The hours- You don't want to miss this beautifully told film
Advantages: Story and strong performances.
Disadvantages: Slow.
...was regarded as one of the best films of 2002. This film has three stories, spanning over a few decades, dealing with the lives of three women. A woman(Meryl Streep) planning to throw a party for his writer friend who suffers from AIDS in 2001, a pregnant wife awaiting her husband's birthday party in the 1950's and an author named Virginia Woolf writing her novel "the hours" in the 1930's. Its the novel that binds them together, and also their state ...
...From the first scene itself, the film binds you with its story-telling.There's something really honest, really sincere about this film. Emotions are mostly kept inside, it is more thoughtful, rather than verbal. It is essentially about what all three women are going through in their lives, battling depression and confusion in life in their own ways. All three stories are fabulous and there's hardly a weak link in the movie. This is not a movie on ...
