I bought the boxset in tesco of all places for just £6 which is an absolute bargain for 3 great DVD's. GREEN STREET I didnt think I would enjoy this film as it is about football (yawn!) but thought I'd give it a go anyway as it was his birthday! I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed the film and you dont need to be a football ...

Meanwhile his home life is no picnic; his wife is prone to depression and her daughter has a compulsive order that has so far defied diagnosis. “Breaking and Entering” is Anthony Minghella’s third collaboration ...

It looks slick enough most of the time, with Minghella revelling in the contrast between Will’s glossy Kensington house and the insalubrious environs of his new offices. But there are times when shots swim out of focus. The parkour that opens the movie is decent enough; competently ... Read review
