Great Girlie Film
Advantages: great acting and story
Disadvantages: Collin firths moustache
Circle of Friends, 1995, Rating 12, Run Time: 98 minutes Circle of Friends, is another great girlie movie, a genre that I am very familiar with if you have read any of my other film reviews. It is based on the novel by Maeve Binchy. The Story: Set in Ireland in the 50’s we are introduced to three young girls Benny, Eve and Nan on the day of their communion, they are full of the innocence of youth and the best of friends. Benny is a thick set child ...
...but proud parents.

Nan is a beautiful girl with a slight air of arrogance about her, after communism her parents move from the village. We are then taken to the girls first day at university; Benny is commuting by bus every day while Eve is set to stay in a ...

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 ...

Father and Son?
Advantages: Heartwarming, Great scenes
Disadvantages: Almost too short, ending both joyous and sad
"Dear Frankie" released in 2004, is the heartwarming story of a 9 ½ year old boy, living with his Mum and Grandmother, whose relationship with his father stems totally from the letters he receives from him while his father is on board ship.
Set against the backdrop of the Clyde in the Greenock area, in the fictitious Port Howat, the film depicts of poverty and a struggle of one woman to protect her son in an era which could almost be modern, but ...
...into the life of a single Mum, Lizzie, and her son, for whom she would move mountains to protect. For it is Lizzie who has been writing letters to Frankie for years, pretending that they are from his father, who is travelling the world with his ship.

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 ...
