A ray of light

Advantages: Thought Provoking
Disadvantages: A little depressing

This film is truly thought-provoking. It really brings reality to life. For many of us, myself included, take things for granted, like our major senses; this film puts us in our place. However it does portray this theme in a subtle way. The subject of "blindless" is reversed- as in a blind man gains his sight and the difficulties of adapting to life with light are highlighted. The good side to this film shows that you can find love in whatever situation ...

Review of At First Sight (DVD)

Perfume is beautifully artistic, and utterly disturbing.

Advantages: Interesting storyline, brilliant concept, brilliantly acted.
Disadvantages: A far out arty film, maybe not for a broad spectrum audience as other films might be.

...they live on in the perfume that is created so their beauty lives on; the essence of their being still exists. I also thought the costume was great. A lot of research had obviously gone into 18th century French attire for this film, and although the majority of the film is set in the poorest parts of society, so the clothes are simple, the attention to detail is wonderful. The film recreates the dirty, smelly atmosphere of the period, and you see ...
...The theme of perfume is a very unusual concept, and a very interesting subject. You learn a lot about how perfume is made, and because it is teamed with murder, it makes it a most interesting subject. Another contrast is created by the perfume of classes of society; the rich bathe in wonderful scents, whilst the poor are exposed to everything revolting. It also exposes the frivolous nature of the upper classes at the time, spending money on luxury ...

Review of Legends Of The Fall (DVD)

Relationships are Never Easy

Advantages: Good storyline, Great acting
Disadvantages: May be a bit confussing for some, lots of strong language and sex talk

I really could not make up my mind if I wanted to see this film or not but I think the deciding factor for me was Jude law and Julia Roberts. I have to say that not knowing what to expect from this film I was indeed very surprised by it. The plot is somewhat different to any film I have seen before. There are 4 main characters, Dan who writes Obituaries for a living and is just releasing a book, Anna who is a photographer, Larry a Dermatologist and ...
...working as a waitress. At the start of the film we see Dan and Alice meeting each other and instantly falling for one another and then we move to a year later when Dan is off having his photograph taken for the cover of his new book when he meets Alice. Alice is divorced and she and Dan instantly find an attraction between themselves but Alice rejects Dan when she finds he has a girlfriend. Dan thinks he is getting his own back on Anna by making ...

Review of Closer (DVD)

Naughty nurses fun packed series!!!!!!!

Advantages: very funny....
Disadvantages: not that i can think of.

Ok right well let me start by telling you Im still quite new to this review-writing lark, so please feel free to tell me where I am going wrong. I saw one episode of this series a repeat on some digital channel, and decided it was one of the best comedies I have seen in ages. For some strange reason I appeared to have missed it on normal TV. Anyway after seeing this one episode ordered it online. At the moment you can get it for £17.99 on play.com ...
...it before the 2nd series came out. The front of the DVD is white; the text is in quite a funky pink colour, with a big picture of all four of the characters laughing. The back of the dvd consists of the usual rundown of the plot, including various quotes from newspapers an example of one is "warm, life-enhancing, funny and often bitter-sweet comedy" Daily mail ( I have to admit its very fitting.)The box slides out of its cover to reveal an identical ...
