Helen Mirran did a spectacular job in bringing the queen to our screens; Michael Sheen - James Cromwell - Sylvia Syms excellently portrayed the characters they played. There were times I was totally lost in the scenes she played and had to remind my self it was actually not H R H. It was a glimpse into the house of Windsor and the reaction Diana?s death had upon the establishment that rocked its foundations like no other before. I believe the film was a good media surge for H.R.H and to allow the public to see what the royals wanted them too. It threw the queen in a better light and gave the public more understanding. Dianas death coincided with the new Prime Minister, Tony Blair, portrayed excellently, and believable by Michael Sheen. This film is about a moment in history that had phenomenal results when England lost its rose. I am not sure that the publics view of the royals will change after watching this film, and believe personally it was used as a media scrum to help change attitudes of the house of Windsor. Directed by Stephen Frears, who also directed Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity and Dirty Pretty Things, a film worthy to watch if only to gather an insight how the other half lives, and watch Dame Mirran at her best- as she always is??
Get the children some pop corn a fizzy drink sit in front of the telly and be prepared to be entertained. A land under the sea were mermaids and fish live together, magical. I for one will never order fish and chips again, especially not in batter!
I would love to meet the actress Kathy Bates this film had such an easy plot but her acting allowed it to be taken that step further. Not many films would be this succeesful wth two charactors manipulating most of the scenes.
A film that makes you remember celebs are human and can be just as damaged as our neighbours. Mommy Dearest is a testament to this and I hope her daughter found peace. I think Christina released this story at the right time, although any abuser deserves to be punished no matter who they are
Loved it and still do a little boy much like Tarzan lost in the jungle and raised by wolves. Disney makes some of the most excellant films for children.
Another film to grace our screens with 70s style music and dance although this one was more upper class than the others no less entertaining. A weak story line but never the less entertaining if only for the dance routines and music
Brilliant light hearted entertainment Williams at his best as he takes on the role of a female with gusto. Was wondering how much he really enjoyed the role! Sally Fields and Pearce Brosna were the supporting actors and helped make this one of the most family orientated films of the decade
An unforgettable cenotaph to every soldier lost in Vietnam, harrowing drama chronicles Vietnam frontline combat seen through the eyes of grunt (Charlie Sheen) based on events witnessed by its creator (Oliver Stone). Tom Berenger, William Dafoe, Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker are fine support actors.
The young man who survived the fist hitcher is now a police office who still bares the scars from the past.....He hits the highway with his girlfriend only to be confronted by the same scenario I did not want to see the second hitcher film for fear it would not stand up to its pilot. I was right.
While driving through the desert two college students pick up a hitchhiker with deadly plans in store. It is filled with twists and turns and will keep you firmly on the edge of your seat. A film that will leave an impression on you and make you think twice when you see the thumb of a person raised waiting to be picked up.
