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 ...

Advantages: Excellent acting, wonderful characters, beautiful scenery, historically accurate
Disadvantages: None
...rock shatters." – One Stab, Legends of the Fall
If you ever find yourself with 2 hours and 7 minutes to fill, and want a front seat on the sort of emotional rollercoaster that will leave you weepy and drained, then look no further than Legends of the Fall.
It has all of the elements that are needed for a real epic. Stunning scenery well thought out characters, a story that spans decades, war, death, passion, madness and most of all tonnes of insight ...
...it for you, well it also won the 1995 Oscar for Cinematography, and was nominated for 8 other awards, so that gives you an idea of quality. Plot outline

We live in the Shadowlands
Advantages: Briliant Acting, Beautiful settings, Compelling Storyline
Disadvantages: Very sad
How can it be that some of the greatest stories of the 20th century were written by academics? In Oxford in the 1950s two great series of books were born and brought before an unsuspecting public. There was Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' with its (in my view) overblown mythology, and there was also the Narnia books, a series of compelling stories for children written by an English lecturer, Clive Staples Lewis, an eminent scholar and theologian. What ...
...that he was a confirmed bachelor, living with his brother in a small cottage on the outskirts of Oxford. The story of Lewis' life is well documented, especially in the book 'Shadowlands', which in the mid 1980s was dramatised by the BBC into a film starring Joss Ackland and Clare Bloom.
In 1993, Sir Richard Attenborough made the story into a film starring Anthony Hopkins (he wasn't a 'sir' then) and Debra Winger. The film is around 2 hours long, ...

The Worlds Fastest Indian is another film that I have meant to see ever since its cinema release a few years and have only just got round to seeing and how glad I am that I did !
The film is based on the true story of Burt Munro a man now in his 70's, lives in a small village in New Zealand where he has spent many, many years modifying his 1920's Indian motor bike with the aim of making it the fastest bike possible with his pipe dream being to take ...
...is his garage, he makes the pistons for the bike himself and generally the bike is held together with whatever else he can find.
A few things happen to Burt to make him realise that be may not have too many years left in hi, so he partially reportages his house / garage to get some money to take himself and his bike to Bourneville. The film charts every step of the journey, the people he meets and the tribulations he has getting there on a shoestring ...
