Advantages: Well acted, scripted, directed
Disadvantages: The character of Stevens will always be Antony Hopkins to anyone who has seen this film!

...film. Okay, it's not in the most obvious way, but this is the way true romantic films should be. In this adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel of the same title, Anthony Hopkins plays a Butler, Stevens, who is so loyal and dedicated to his job, that he appears almost inhuman. The film tracks his memories of his relationship with Miss Kenton, the housekeeper, played by Emma Thompson, as they carry out their daily duties in the house, unaware, or turning ...
...the Second World War begins to erupt. Although there is no physical romance, or even spoken words of love to show how close the butler and the housekeeper become, it is obvious to the viewer, and the subtle way in which their relationships is presented makes each look, facial expression and sentence ten times as meaningful as it would otherwise be. The scenery is really lovely, and captures the era well, with subtle changes in weather reflecting ... Read review

Advantages: Could be worse. Reeves and Redgrave form a formidable on screen duo.
Disadvantages: Could be better. Not an awful lot happens, at all, really.

...Henry James’ novel set amongst the repressed social foibles of 19th centaury middle class America women, which pays careful attention to period costume.’ now would you? Would you? Ok, so perhaps you would, being the conscientious, cerebral, open-minded reviewer that you are, but for us the rest of us, the fickle masses who live from one fast paced thrill-filled moment to the next, the Hollywood hordes who gravitate with herd-like instinct to merest ...
...huffy and depart to read the 367th review of ‘Shrek 2’ (I know that’s where you were going...) I haven’t enticed you here on completely false pretences. This film does star Christopher Reeve, who is, and ever will be, the original, iconic Superman, (although there were no phone booths in the early 1900’s so he sadly remains in his moustached alter-ego for the entire film). And yes, there really are some distinctive lesbian undertones, which, although ... Read review

Advantages: Gr8 film, good storyline.
Disadvantages: Predictable

...You and Coyote Ugly, but August Rush manage to bring something more to the screen than all of those films have done. Basic Plot When Lyla a concert cellist and Louis an Irish rock musician meet, they are broken apart by what seems to be fate. Evan is an 11 year old orphan who is unhappy and swears he hears music all around him, and is convinced beyond belief that his parents wants him and with the help of music he'll be able to get his family ...
...gives him his stage name… August Rush. Why is this film so good? It's sort of a modern day fairy tail, minus the princes and evil witches. It's still got the hope and happy storyline that all fairytales have and most importantly it makes you smile. Like I said before, this film connected with me. As most of you probably know already, I want to be a film maker and believe that music is the key to a good film and boy did this film have fantastic ... Read review

Advantages: The best bit is the TWIST at the end!
Disadvantages: Some Boring Bits

...wasn't one single DVD called Interview with the Vampire on a shelf. So instead I bought Disturbia... Then a friend called Matthew asked for Disturbia, I said ok if only you give me one of your DVDs to borrow... So he gave me a choice: The Lion King Interview With The Vampire Silence of the lambs Se7en I Was dead after Silence of the lambs so I asked for it but he started laughing telling me I couldn't borrow it because he hadn't got it, so ...
...so I decided to choose Interview with The Vampire. He told me that it was a good choice. When we had swapped, I became aware of the certification which was 18. Now what I had expected of it was a really scary film that could make you jump every single second, I expected scariness and a chance at getting Goosebumps. What I didn't expect of it came out. CHARACTERS: Louis de Pointe du Lac (Played By Brad Pitt) - Louis seems to me as a normal Human ... Read review

Advantages: great film piece
Disadvantages: quite long winded

...the characters. I feel that Sense and Sensibility presents all these things to the audience. There is love, heartbreak, humour and great music. (my applause to Kate Winslet for her unforgettable versions of "Weep You No More Sad Fountains" and "The Dream" ...so beautiful.) If you have not seen this movie, please go RIGHT now to rent it...or even ADD it to your video library! I must say it is well worth it! And if you have seen it. ....you know what ... Read review
