Pete and Dud: Rare Live Performances

Dud and Pete

(Edit) 20/03/2015

I totally agree with the review from BM. Embarrasingly poor DVD. I hope this will save you from - presumably as a fan - from having to watch your favourite pair undoing all their past brilliance.

The Brittas Empire: Series 1

Brittas Empire. Series 1

(Edit) 24/02/2014

Thought I would watch it again after a distant memory of the series. I hadn't realised how long it had run for.

Really enjoyed it. Good, clever, with uncomplicated laughs . Have ordered the next series.

'Mr Brittas' is on screen nearly the whole time and is a star turn

Metropolis

Metropolis

(Edit) 24/02/2014

Essential viewing to see all the early strands and connections of later films and writing.

Particularly for George Orwells 1984

I would watch again.

Obviously the silent acting is over the top in todays values but if you can accept that, then enjoy the restored version.

I agree with the Review by Karrie, that the commentary was a bit confusing.

We watched it twice, once with and once without.

To Kill a Mockingbird

To Kill a Mocking Bird.

(Edit) 24/02/2014

Somehow missed seeing it in previous years.

A good film of its time and tackled uncomfortable truths but it seemed a bit dated in its acting and I was not as engaged as I had expected.

Hideous Kinky

Hideous Kinky

(Edit) 24/02/2014

An evocation of an era, so entertaining on the level of remembrance.

Goes well with the book. Kate Winslett great as usual.

Younger viewers may be a bit mystified about what the main character was all about.

Departures

Departures

(Edit) 24/02/2014

A Brilliant film. I am a long time viewer of Japanese films.

Totally absorbing in its view of a part of Japanese society and the sequences are totally unexpected.

I would watch again.

Ayrton Senna: The Will to Win

Ayrton Senna the will to win.

(Edit) 24/02/2014

If you are a racing enthusiast, it probably would not tell you anything you do not already know.

I thought that the script and film clips were poor.

I learnt nothing about the man.

It had quite good reviews when it came out.

I am baffled.

The Artist

The Artist

(Edit) 19/09/2012

I agree with everything that the review by PV said.

All well done but an out of proportion response with the Baftas and Oscars. Nothing bad about it, just overhyped. I sometimes go back to a film more than once, this one I certainly would not consider a re look.

We Need to Talk About Kevin

Kevin

(Edit) 29/08/2012

The category 'really liked it' doesn't fit the experience. Awful but very good and stays in the memory, Excellent acting, particularly from 'Kevin'
