beautiful sets and lush costumes. Natalie Portman is luminous in this role....

A miraculous successful adaptation. A lovely period classic to be watched and enjoyed over and over. Its honest and true in it's portrayal of varied human emotion

What an amazing historical piece! My regret was not being able to watch this earlier. This film is about the fight of William Wilberforce to abolish British slavery in the early 18th Century. Ioan Gruffudd as Wilberforce is believable, complimented by an amazing casts like Albert Finney.The beautiful song Amazing Grace has long been one of my favorite songs, hearing and singing it in church during my younger years.

For all lovers of romance, a movie that you will never get bored of.

Its not as captivating as the 1st. Something is amiss in its direction however Cate's acting is still intriguing as the Virgin Queen.

Beautifully written and acted by the casts. Brilliant scenery and costumes. James McAvoy was fantastically intense as Tom Lefroy

The chemistry between Kidman and Law is breathtaking but watching Zellweger as the rough, feisty and loudmouthed Ruby was a real treat. She makes Kidman look like a deer caught in headlights most of the time. Also I wouldnt miss any masterpieces from Anthony Minghella who directed The English Patient and Talented Mr Ripley. He makes films in the most beautiful locations! It is a real pity that the gifted director had passed away. Anyone who enjoys watching the Civil War period/epic romance movies, would treasure this one. I find this a well crafted film from start to finish.

An old-fashioned swashbuckler film about revenge best served cold. It s dramatic n powerful

Wonderful comedy in a beautiful place, Venice. Stunning costumes.

Spectacular movie by Ridley Scott. Visually and emotionally satisfying

Brilliant director and actor,Mel Gibson. A movie that one never cease to be amazed, truly majestic

The story is still flawed but without a doubt its still a production masterpiece.

I m a true fan of the original n this one proves disappointing. No chemistry between the leads. R. Wiesz is so much better

I enjoyed watchin the dragon. The graphic was fantastic. Story wise was lukewarm for me. Plenty of violence and gore....

Always been fascinated with King Arthur, Camelot n his knights. Movie is visually stunning, fight scenes brutal n intense. K.Knightly potrayal of Guinevere is different n better than Julia Ormond' s First Knight

Read the book many years ago and was both excited and at the same time afraid that this beautiful story would be butchered onscreen. Rob Marshall proved me wrong. Also its funny that this film was heavily criticized for having a Malaysian and 2 Chinese actresses portraying Japanese Geishas. My favourite is Gong Li here, she deserved a recognition for her role as Hatsumomo. Lavish costumes and exquisite cinematography

A fantastic adaption from Marion Zimmerman's book. For fans of Arthurian legend n Camelot. Set, scenery n costumes are hauntingly beautiful.

Lush costumes. A brilliant screenplay that promises romance, beauty of poetic words, humor and emotion

The Titanic. Unsinkable, it was claimed until an iceberg changed everything. I don t think I will ever get bored of this movie. When it came out in 1997, I saw it for the very 1st time, I was in awe. Still am. The cinematography and the special effects kept me riveted. It gives you the feeling of almost being there on the ship itself. A visual grandeur indeed. The 2 leads were superb, amazing chemistry.To date, my favourite scene is where L.DeCaprio and Kate Winslet flying at the ship's front. The sinking of the great ship is no secret and certain scenes were so hauntingly sad .Every creak and groan of the ship was audible when watching it on a good quality DVD.

Vanity Fair tried in vain. Reese was miscast in this role, her British accent is good enough but she still appeared too American here. She failed to portray the character Becky Sharp, there s scarcely a semblance of what she is portrayed as in the book.

Great epic drama, all the actors are absolutely brilliant esp Anthony Hopkins.

John Malkovich plays the rake, Vicomte de Valmont so seductively well. This movie is wicked. Sinfully deliciously. Fascinating

Pretty enjoyable. Interesting characters

Absolutely awesome n magical!!!! Michelle P is fantastic....

Quote: Tell our story Christian, that way I'll-I'll always be with you." .
Magical, stunning and so romantic. It is about a poet who falls for a beautiful courtesan, whom a jealous duke covets. Kidman and McGregor were formidable but Kidman dominated the movie.Who knew that both of them could carry a note in this musical. Both of them were destined to play the role of the poet and courtesan. Outstanding costumes and art direction too. Most memorable Musical soundtrack:Come what may. Gave me goosebumps.

Cute and fun. Cruz and Hayek, as 2 hot bandits. Not a great script howevr certain scenes are hilarious.

The best western of all time. Definitely worth seeing. James Mangold, a very talented director. Russell Crowe, dashing n brilliant....

The legend of Ned kelly is a fiery one, both as an outlaw and a revolutionary. Outside of Australia, many may not be familiar with him. Heath Ledger is great as Kelly. Sublime sets and locations. Great supporting casts makes this period drama a compelling watch.

The last part of the trilogy brings McFly back to the old west with cowboys, Indians and of course, a Delorean.This time the story is simpler than the 2nd, however it is still very entertaining. This high-powered and high-tech movie wraps up the trilogy nicely.

Action, romance, war, and passionate, intriguing drama. An epic to be reckon with.A timeless tale of the 18th century frontier and the virtue and tragedy that results when the uniquely different cultures of the French, English, Native Americans, and colonists collide. Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeline Stowe were brilliant here, they delivered their roles as Hawkeye and Cora Munro.

I enjoyed watching Keira Knightley in Pride and Prejudice, Atonement and now this wonderful period piece biopic.
Every man in England is in love with her- except her husband - quote.The marriage between Lady Georgiana Spencer and William Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire, was an arranged union, coaxed by her mother Lady Spencer.She is trapped in a cold, loveless marriage, her husband played marvelously by Ralph Fiennes whose main interests is his hunting dogs and a male heir. Its an emotional drama worth watching especially if you are a fan of historical fare.

Whirlwind action!! All the classic monsters of the 30s and 40s are in this film. The transformation scenes are lush and gothic. The plot is simple and full of flaws but watch it for the action. Its a ticket to having a good time.

A classic literature marred by Hollywood

Viewed this swashbuckling fantasy again and found it to be just as good as it was the first time. So it's two and a half hours long. I didn't notice it. Depp's performance aside, the best element of this 2003 picture is the story, a sweeping action-adventure story. It was stylishly designed and shot. Let's not forget Geoffrey Rush, he was suitably menacing and chilling with a touch of humor. A true treasure of a movie!

The Davy Jones character was fantastic, played so convincingly by Bill Nighy. The costume designs were even more outstanding and the locations look just breathtaking in Blue Ray. POTC 2 is indeed darker than the first. It is still filled with lots of action and adventure but I found it to be lacking of freshness in story. Some of the best dialogues came from the 1st POTC.

At wits end, I must say! This one in my opinion deserves to walk the plank, fed to the sharks. POTC 1 was too amazing for words. POTC 2 was not bad but the 3rd, where to start? The first problem with the movie is that Jack Sparrow isn't seen for half an hour and when he does come on, it one of the worst opening scene for him. You can find some of the most dimwitted dialogue here. The story was too long, clocking in at almost three hours. By the time it ends I got a tad seasick.

Leonor Varela, her acting so amateurish next to that of Timothy Dalton and Billy Zane. Her potrayal of the queen of Egypt pales in comparison to E. Taylor but its good for TV version.

A greatness that usually a Disney can deliver. Fantastic 3 show stopping musical numbers that made you want to dance.

A lush gothic horror with Gary Oldman as the best Dracula ever.

I am surprised that this movie went unnoticed at the cinemas, definitely would have been better to catch it in the big sceeen.This is quite an entertaining SciFi/Norse legend film. Story revolves around the vikings and a spaceman battling an alien beast known as the Moorwen in 709 DC, in the Iron Age. I had enjoyed watching Sophia Myles in Tristan & Isolde and now she portrays a brave Viking Princess. A decent effort by unknown director Howard McCain.

Do not scorn a weak cub. He may become the brutal tiger."- a true Mongolian proverb. I am not sure how historically accurate this movie is but Mongol is spectacular and memorable.

I am intrigued by Scandinavian legends, fascinating stories about trolls and monsters. This one here is an enjoyable good old fashioned Viking bravery. Though murdered and stripped bare by critics when it was initially released, I truly liked it.

Hallmark Entertainments Arabian Nights, is the story of a womans attempt to save the one she loves, through the art of story-telling. Set in mysterious Arabia, it traces Scheherezade, who with more and more of her tales, escapes her husband, Schariars, death traps. After being betrayed by his first wife, Schahriar has lost all trust, and kills his new brides the morning after the weddings. When Scheherazade decides to marry him, she saves her kingdom and her life, by seducing her husbands imagination. Breathtaking cinematography, a fairy-tale theme, and beautifully-mastered special effects contribute to the unforgettable overall effect of the film. My review: There has been so much garb on TV lately that one would not have any expectations for this one. This pure myth and magical tale proved many wrong. It is highly entertaining with great much loved classical tales like Ali Baba, Aladdin and more. Wonderful special effects, lush costumes and sets kept me entertained throughout the 175 minutes.

Genuinely funny, sprinkled with witty British dry humor! Kristin Scott Thomas playing the mother in law from hell(not to be missed)

A wonderful Russian tragic love story but it is a pity that the acting from the lead actress falls short here. She is just not passionate enough as Anna who gave up her marriage, her son, her place in society to be with her lover. I loved the cinematography! The ballroom and the horse racing scenes were splendid. The atmosphere during the 19th century is very authentic.

A tongue in cheek kind of fairytale. I enjoyed this light hearted piece of enchantment. Recommended to those who are fans of Hugh Dancy(his crisp english accent gets me everytime), those who love Anne Hathway's work. She is luminous with those big expressive eyes and charming smile. I didnt know that she could sing! Powerful and beautiful voice. And for those who digs fairies, ogres, elves and other enchanted beings. So what if it is targetted for younger audiences, the young at heart would love this one just as well.

A true story of the Newton brothers, who are regarded as the most successful bank robbers in the history of the United States. Takes place sometime the early roaring 1920s.The film smells distinctly of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Oh well, women, girls are going to love this. All 4 Texan Newton brothers were played by bright eyes wonders McConaughey ,Hawke,D'Onofrio and Ulrich and they are pleasing to the eyes. Might cringed at some of the most stupefying antics of the bankrobbing scenes. Overall an average but not a great movie.

Westie movies are so rare these days. I was happy to have finally obtained this DVD. I find that this is a different kind of western movie, that sparkles with hidden humor. Don t care much for Renee's loose character here, in fact her character is completely ridiculous. She plays a refined lady but gosh she was ready to hop into any man's bed given a chance. But watch it for Ed Harris and especially Viggo Mortensen performances. In terms of storyline,I still prefer 3:10 to yuma though.

Reasons I wanted to watch this one soooooooooo badly: Direction by Michael Mann. Bale n Depp against each other and who could forget the phenomenal performance by the luminous Marion Cotillard in La vie en rose. All the winning formula here right? Well it is not a total disaster of a movie but not quite up there with Heat. What s with shaky, quick-cutting camerawork style, I know it was intended to give it a sense of urgency and adrenaline, but to me it was downright distracting. One of the worst cinematography I ve encountered. What I find thats pretty good here were the elaborately staged shoot-out sequences by Mann aka King of film shootouts and Depp was mesmerizing as Dillinger.
Trivia: When Dillinger's body was lying in the street outside the Biograph theater, many by-standers dipped handkerchiefs in his blood to keep as a souvenir.

Milla plays the medieval saint, Joan of Arc, a young woman who would inspire and lead her countrymen until her execution at the age of nineteen BUT instead of inspiring she came off as whiny, screeching, fanatical loon. Oh and the dialogue is absolutely terrible. This was set in the 15th century, so why were the actors speaking like it is in modern times???This sword and sorcery epic by Besson is quite a disappointment. A 3 hours torture.

An impressive epic to be reckon with

Two very gifted stars brought Graham Greene's novel to life. Also masterfully constructed by writer-director Neil Jordan. Ralph Fiennes has a face made to make period pictures, he plays a brooding novelist who loves Moore 's character with an obsessive passion and Moore was perfect, gave a heartfelt performance of a woman trapped in a loveless marriage. The film is set in London in the early 1940s, wonderful cinematography. A truly sad, beautiful and passionate story not to be missed.

Tells a love story about one man's grand love for a woman who marries another. To be exact, he loved and longed for her for fifty one years, nine months and four days. Giovana Mezzogiorno's performance was amazing! Here one can view the development of her character throughout the stages of her ilfe,from her youth through her old age. Javier Bardem is an excellent actor, carried his character well. The settings were well captured too, the very essence of Columbia, a very period feel during the 1800s. A fantastic adaptation from the book.
