Love For Lydia - Complete DVD

Advantages: A great soundtrack, some very realistic characters and well pulled off
Disadvantages: Not that original

...he’s been in love with for years. Heartbroken, Helen moves into her best friend Anna (Zara Turner) ‘s house and starts seeing James (John Hannah), a guy she met on the tube. James is everything that Jerry isn’t, sweet, funny and attentive; but it soon becomes apparent to the viewer that he is married (or is he?) and would appear that Helen is only making the same mistake twice. Meanwhile, Jerry realises he doesn't realy love Lydia after all and wants Helen back. In the alternate reality things go on pretty much as before, Helen working all the hours God sends and Jerry sneaking around with Lydia, who later becomes pregnant.

...The first series of the ever popular ER created by Michael Crichton introduces us to the original six characters. These are Dr Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards), Dr Doug Ross (George Clooney), Dr Susan Lewis (Sherry Stringfield), Medical Student John Carter (Noah Wyle), Nurse Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) and Dr Peter Benton (Eriq La Salle). In this series we see what it's like to work in an ER emergency room based at Chicago's County General Teaching Hospital and what the members of staff go through.

...will do almost anything to please his demanding wife in order to lead a quiet life; to complete the clan is morose teenage daughter Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder, who is perfectly cast for the role) who loves anything dark, depressing and moody. Accompanying them is Delia's SoHo designer sidekick Otho (played by Glenn Shadix) who is a pompous and slightly effeminite man who helps Delia to plan the radical changes to the house. Horrified at the sudden changes and imposing family, Adam and Barbara feel hopelessly infuriated, and the planned redesign of their beloved period property makes them act out of desperation as they hilariously attempt to scare the new residents out of the house. However, they realise they can not be seen...except by Lydia. They attempt to frighten her away, but because of their kind nature they can not live... Read review
