FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC (1987)
DVD (2005)
I should avoid watching films of books that I have enjoyed!
Well in this case I certainly should.
I can remember back, gosh must be nearly thirty years now, reading the book ?Flowers in The Attic?, by Virginia Andrews.
I was utterly enthralled and had to stay up until 4.00 in the morning as there was no way I could sleep until I had finished the book.
So when I saw the DVD of the film on sale at Amazon for around £2, I snapped it up.
I sat down with a bottle of wine and much anticipation, only to be left feeling cheated and disappointed.

The book was a best ...

The film then moves to Don Johnston, sitting on his sofa just staring with a deadpan expression on his face. His girlfriend Sherry then appears informing him that she has packed up all of the things and is leaving. This is when you get a bit of an insight into who Don is. She tells him that she feels like a mistress even ...
Advantages: Stunning landscape, nice towns to visit Disadvantages: None
The Isle of Skye is somewhere I have wanted to visit my whole life, but have never had the chance. The Scottish Isles for me have a sort of mystique about them, the isolation and the tradition they have, but Skye has always been the one I?ve wanted to go to. I think a lot of it has to do with my favourite band, Runrig, being from there ? their songs are often about the landscape they grew up in, and they even have a song called Skye.
Finally, at the end of September this year, I went to the island with my parents. Having been staying on the mainland for several days in rubbish weather, the first remotely decent day we had we jumped in the car and shot across the bridge, as they knew how excited I was to go to the island, and we didn?t want to miss the best weather we were likely to have (best in this sense is mainly dry with showers ...
