...knock at the door of Wuthering Heights." WUTHERING HEIGHTS FILM 1939 ...DVD 2004 Anyone who has been reading my recent reviews may have noticed that I have been indulging in a lot of nostalgia by watching DVD's of all my old favourite classics. My latest purchase from Amazon for the grand price of £3.24 was the 1939 'Wuthering Heights' adapted from Emily Bronte's classic novel. This was the first film dramatization of Emily Bronte's ...
...No surprise then that Wuthering Heights only received one Oscar for best cinematography. In Laurence Olivier's illustrious 60-year career, the Oscar nomination for his role as Heathcliff was the first of ten Oscar nominations he received (He won one, Hamlet, 1948) THE FILM Emily Brontë's classic Gothic novel is one of my favorite books, so I could find some faults with the film if I wanted to be picky but the positive aspects of Wuthering ...

Review of Wuthering Heights (DVD)

Rourkes Drift

Advantages: Great lead turn
Disadvantages: Wrestling in general.

...come club. He was paying the bongo drums and smoking a cigarette that didn't look like normal ones (could have been menthol!). I said hi and shook his hand, complimenting him on Angel Heart and asked if he still had the stunning Lisa Bonnets number, which, in his drunken state and mock Lord of the Manor English accent, bizarrely produced (which I wasn't brave enough to ring!). He then continued banging the drums with a pleasant smile on his face ...
...until his head plopped on the said bongo and he fell asleep, but still smoking that cigarette. I think it's fair to say Mickey has lived the life. They say you get the face you deserve at 40, a face that was punched fairly heavily in the 90s as he turned his back on Hollywood and went on to be a professional fighter for a spell, and unbeaten in 8 fights no less. Well he is New York Irish American after all, one that wears an IRA tattoo and gave to ...

Review of The Wrestler

~ In the Ring ~

Advantages: Excellent story, Great acting, Interesting settings, Fab characters
Disadvantages: None

~ In the Ring ~ The Wrestler has been released for a while now and this weekend I had a chance to watch it. I have wanted to see this since it was released on DVD but was not too sure if it would be any good. This Friday as my boyfriend was on call we decided to go to blockbuster and rented a few films for the evening. We both had not seen it and thought it looked pretty good. The idea of a film being based around wrestling was a bit of an off put ...
...was younger of the WWF wrestling. I remember sitting watching my favourite ‘The Rock’ and thought that the film could be quite interesting. The plot sounded relatively good and the fact that we have just brought a new tele and PS3 which has surround sound and buy-ray we wanted to test how good it was. The cover is quite simple but effective. It doesn’t give much away and has a sinister picture of Mickey Rourke who plays the man character. You can ...

Review of The Wrestler (Blu-ray)

world trade rental

Advantages: true emotion
Disadvantages: none really

i was a little wishy washy about this film but in the end i had to plump for it, i've seen all of the other september 11th films so felt this being another 'true story' and what with all the hype it should be done. the film has a good strong cast led by Nicholas Cage and follows the life of two fireman, John Mougloughlin (cage) and William j Jimeno who get trapped underground at ground zero and were 2 of the survivours pulled from the reckage (thats ...
...of the new york firefighters and thier families, it is quite an emotional roller coaster which could bring tears to the hardest of men. it sometimes seems a little long winded when they are trapped but i tend to think it may well have seemed longer for John and William just waiting for someone to hear them the special effects are briliant and well mixed together with actual footage from the terrible september 11th, i was left open mouthed when the ...
