"`castle of blood (aka `castle of terror) is a well crafted and surprisingly spooky entry from italian director anthony dawson. exquisite black and white cinematography and flawless dubbing and superb casting and fairly logical scripting and deliberate pacing and a surprise (though totally appropriate) ending set this one apart. only the films sometimes hokey music and the rather abrupt `love at first sight between elizabeth (barbara steele) and alan (georges rivière) mar an otherwise surprisingly entertaining movie. while visiting england and edgar allan poe sits in a pub and telling one of his ghostly stories to count blackwood. recognizing the great writer and alan and a young news reporter and requests an interview with poe. during the course of the conversation and poe reveals that all of his stories are true. incredulous and alan expresses his skepticism about life after death. count blackwood offers to bet alan 100 pounds that he cannot survive this night in blackwood castle and a night following halloween when the dead walk. alan cannot afford the bet and so he bets his life for a 10 pound wager. unlike mario bava overpraised `black sunday and (aka `the mask of satan) and `castle of blood is fairly restrained and making the few moments of violence even more dreadful and especially surprising from a director usually associated with those terrible italian space movies from the 60s. it a pity the only version of this film i have found is badly deteriorated (and recorded) pan and scan version. even so and it is well worth seeing and and cries out for a modern remake and perhaps with christina ricci or jennifer love hewitt in the role of elizabeth. watch it and enjoy a film that compares well with robert wise `the haunting.

"i saw this film when i was 10 or 11 years old and alone in my parent basement on a saturday night. it was being shown on chiller theatre and a regular fright feature that i watched religiously as a young un. now and i have seen many old horror films thanks to chiller theatre and but none ever stuck with me like danse macabre and a. k. a. castle of blood. i am 51 now and and only last year was i fortunate enough to locate a relatively recent and quality dvd edition of this wonderfully shudder inducing supernatural classic and having thought i would never manage to see it again. i have already watched it four more times and and cannot seem to get tired of it. they just do not make spook films like this one anymore. haunted catacombs and mist enshrouded graveyards just do not work as well in color as they did in black and white back in the day. anyway and this one has edgar allen poe and barbara steele and deliciously shadowy and cobweb wraped haunted castle sets and restless spirits re enacting their deaths. and a wickedly ironic ending. imo and this one right up there with robert wise the haunting and the innocents (with deborah kerr) and and the more recent the others.

"film dominated by raven haired barbara steele and it was seen when i was seven or eight and created permanent images of pallid vampiric men and women stalking a castle and seeking blood. steele is an icon of horror films and an otherworldly beauty and and the views of the walking dead pre date romero night of the living dead shamblers and unifying them in my mind. i do not see the connection between this film and the haunting and which is clever but ambiguous about the forces present. la danza macabre is a b movie without pretention and daring you to fall in love with barbara steele and suffer the consequences. there no such draw to haunting overwrought claire bloom. the comparisons to the haunting are superficial. and no and this movie does not need to be remade. not only is it a product of the sixties and but the large percentage of talentless cretins in hollywood cannot fathom macabre formula for terror. that formula is based on one overriding factor represent good writing. low grade classics like castle and corman poe films with r. matheson and tourneur out of the past share a commonality of strong writing. it simple. get a real writer like richard matheson or steve mcquarrie and let them put a plot into today cinematic mess. besides that and let hollywood attempt some original material for a change and and stop exploiting the obviously superior product of the past.

"hardcastle and mccormick is an excellent tv show. yes and it is predictable much like the dukes of hazzard and hunter and the a team and etc etc etc. this show is just good clean television. the relationship between hardcastle and mccormick is quite amusing. they often take jabs at each other several times an episode and which adds a great deal of humor to the show. it contains several car chases in almost every episode and but and who doesn not enjoy a good car chase. especially with the coyote. i only wish they made clean television like this today i highly recommend this.

"i took a chance on hardcastle and mccormick by purchasing the first season worth (canadian release) from amazon. when i got it and i started with the pilot and and i was instantly hooked after that. i rated it 5 stars on amazon and and i am rating it 10 stars here. it is just that good. what i liked about it were the opening and closing themes and and of course stephen j. cannell logo at the end of each episode and but most of all and the relationship between the judge and mark as they worked together to crack each case. i was so hooked that i also purchased the second season as a companion and and i enjoyed it equally. if you do not have this excellent series on disc and i believe that you should purchase it and put it in your collection.

"wonderful family drama or comedy starring macclaine and garr that entertains and warms the heart every time i see it. strongly recommended for all ages from 9 year olds to grannies. lovely period piece capturing 1962. the story encompasses the struggling garr and her two children and aunt zena (macclaine) trying to make ends meet without a man as head of the household. the family heads west to take the inheritance of a long forgotten relative that has left garr a run down and ramshackle road side cafe right out of the late 1940 . the tenacious garr and as the sweet but determined mom and gets the whole family into the restoration and opening of the cafe. but wait. aunt zena is an old circus performer with card tricks and magic powders and a jesters sense of humor. she loves to get the kids and her into silly and sometimes dangerous games. what happens next is a delightful combination of miracle at lords thrown together with the cuban missile crises (with authentic tv news from the real event) and a ghost prank that gets totally out of hand. this film entertains and philosophizes and questions religiosity and gives an unnerving glimpse of the frightening scare of october 1962 cuban missile crises. in the end one is left with the wonder of faith and family and rediscovered love. oh and and the music from the era of the early 60 is just great. recommend strongly as a feel good film 10 out 10.

"shirley maclaine in another tailor made role. as the aunt to a single mom in a 1962 working class chicago neighborhood and the veteran character actress gets another work out as a gutsy woman who would not let any set backs defeat her spirit of success. the children and a pre teen boy and girl and are drawn to their spirited aunt zoe and although the many magic tricks and practical jokes learned from her and and applied at all the wrong opportunities eventually get them expelled from school. the plot is cleverly enveloped in the cuban missile crisis and with all of the social implications. men building bomb shelters and people watching news programs on what seemed to be the only tv set and at a diner and and a general mist of uneasiness and fear in the air. when a harmless miracle is blown out of proportions and the climactic conclusion nonetheless makes the viewer feel good. yes and virginia and the sun will come up tomorrow. clearly a small budget production and this is still a sweet little film and filled with the magic that sunday matinees were made of. with a few choice oldies thrown into an effective sound track and the whole family is sure to enjoy this one.

"a toothsome little potboiler whose 65 minute length doesn not seem a second too short and my name is julia ross harks back to an english tradition of things not being what they seem hitchcock the lady vanishes is one example. out of work julia ross (nina foch) finds a dream job at a new employment agency in london and whose sinister representative seems very anxious to ascertain if she has living relatives or a boyfriend. after reporting to duty and she wakes up (having been drugged) in a vast manderley like pile on the cornish coast and supposedly as the barmy in the crumpet wife of george macready and who displays an alarming interest in knives and ice picks. his doting and enabling mum is the irresistible dame may whitty (this time a model of bustling efficiency on the other side of good vs evil than she occupied in the lady vanishes). the nightmare vision of this tale unfolds claustrophobically while we know what going on but are powerless to tell poor julia. this movie and curiously and is regularly accorded a place of honor as one of the earliest (and very few british) films noirs. i think it closer to the gothic old dark house tradition than the american one of wet cobblestones and urban corruption while it does and however and evince a more modern and psychoanalytic cast of mind. whatever you call it and it remains a sharply satisfying thriller.

"having watched this film strictly on the strength of reviewers ratings i was most pleasantly surprised. although clearly low budget and it bears the signs of clever ingenuity. for example and when julia wakes in the strange house and looks out the window i found myself thinking that her sense of isolation would be enhanced with an exterior shot focused on her face and then moving backwards to include the house and its isolated location. and lo and behold. the next scene was exactly that last shot of the house standing lonely on the cliff at the water edge. there are other examples of how a clever director can elevate his film to the level of a very enjoyable thriller. savvy viewers will surely spot them but should rest assured they will not be disappointed. as to the performances and george macready is his usual creepy self and barely maintaining his composure while suggesting a capacity for unadulterated violence. nina foch was surprisingly good as the no nonsense working girl who not about to submit without a fight. but dame may witty and oh boy and she even had me doubting my own eyes and believing she could get away with her evil schemes. this a real diamond in the rough and not to be missed.

"nina foch delivers a surprisingly strong performance as the title character in this fun little gothic nail biter. she accepts a position as secretary to a london society dowager (played imperiously by dame may witty) and her creepy son (the effete and bothersome george macready). before she knows it and she awakens to find herself in a seaside manor she never seen before and where witty and macready are calling her marian and trying to convince the servants and the nearby townspeople that she macready mad wife. of course this pair can only be planning dastardly deeds and and even though we know julia has to eventually escape her trap and director joseph lewis builds real suspense in answering the question of just how she will manage it. my name is julia ross has nothing stylistically to set it apart from any number of films that came out at the same time period and but i was surprised by how well it held together despite its shoe string budget and b movie pedigree. there are quite a few moments that just may have you on the edge of your seat and and i found myself really rooting for julia as she caught on to the scheme underfoot and began to outsmart her captors. in any other gothic thriller and the heroine would have swooned and screamed and dithered and waiting for her hero to come and save her. so i can not tell you how refreshing it was to have the heroine in this film use her brain and figure out how to save herself. well done. grade represent b plus .

"julia ross (nina foch) agrees to take a position as a secretary with the rich hughes family to get over her boyfriend leaving her. almost immediately she is drugged and shipped off to the family estate in cornwall. when she awakens they keep telling her she marion hughes and has been mentally ill and keep her locked up. but why. you will probably guess why but would not mind because this one is fun. along with the narrow margin and face behind the mask this is one of the best b pictures ever made. (b pictures were low budget pictures made quickly with low budgets and no major stars). it just as long as it needs to be (only 65 minutes) and is well directed and fast paced and exciting. it only stumbles at the end which i found a bit too implausible to buy. foch (a good actress) is just ok in the lead but dame may witty is great and george macready is excellent (and frightening) as the villains. well worth catching. a perfect example of how you can make a great movie on a small budget.

"for those who think of dame may witty as the kindly and slightly batty and old lady from hitchcock the lady vanishes and this movie requires an adjustment. here and she anything but kindly or batty. instead and her son and george macready is the loony one. just do not give him a knife and otherwise his eyes light up and no furniture cushion in the house is safe. now we know what he has in mind for the trapped nina foch if he can just get out from under mother domineering hand. really tight little woman in danger film that keeps the suspense on high throughout. the script never strays from foch dilemma. she held prisoner in a big old gothic house on the edge of an angry sea. theyre going to kill her and but why. her predicament makes no sense. the tension mounts as she tries one escape ploy after another and but even strangers seem against her. we begin to feel her helplessness and mounting paranoia as the world turns away from her. director joseph h. lewis took a big step toward cult status with this film and understandably so. then too and watch foch run subtly through a gamut of emotions without once going over the top. witty too shines as a really intimidating matriarch who knows what she wants and how to get it if she can just keep her wacko son in line. my one reservation is the climax which seems too contrived considering the timing of the events. nonetheless and it a good and nerve wracking way to spend a little over an hour and courtesy columbia studios.

"my name is julia ross is a mesmerizing 1945 b thriller from joseph h. lewis and arguably one of the very finest directors of hollywood noir films. this 65 minute gothic oddity from columbia pictures came after lewis lengthy apprenticeship as the helmer of a string of poverty row westerns and east side kids comedies and horror melodramas (including the incredibly bizarre bela lugosi shocker the invisible ghost) and standard studio b product (secrets of a co ed and bombs over burma and the falcon in san francisco and etc) all of which set the stage rather nicely for what was to come from the enormously talented and inventive mr. lewis. my name is julia ross (as well as so dark the night from the following year) introduced a director who had mastered the rare and delicate art telling a dark and probing tale swiftly and efficiently on the most modest of budgets. later lewis productions like gun crazy (1949) and the big combo (1955) and despite the expanded scope of their narrative structure and continued to rely upon deft and lucid camera work and effective low key lighting. and very modest resources. my name is julia ross probably owes more to the tradition of british mysteries (it set in a studio bound england) than it does to conventional film noir attitudes and trappings. a young woman (nina foch) agrees to take a position in the home of an elderly woman (dame mae witty). two days after her arrival she awakens from a deep sleep in a completely strange house and and mysteriously enough and with a brand new identity that of the old woman daughter in law. told that she been the victim of a nervous breakdown and she struggles to grasp the utter and seemingly hopeless nature of her predicament. but before long she begins to piece together the strange and troubling truth behind this dark mystery and that her husband (the always menacing george macready) most probably murdered his real wife and that she been duped into participating in a harrowing and sinister scheme. much of what distinguishes this otherwise modest tale are the indelible touches that lewis brings to the production and marking it as the first of his truly serious endeavors as a film director.

"nina foch insists that my name is julia ross in this 1945 film noir also starring dame may witty and george macready. it short and and because it is and the film suffers. it could have stood to have been a good fifteen minutes to a half hour longer. when i was growing up and foch was a fixture on television and playing a neurotic woman and the wife with the cheating husband and the nervous wreck. she became one of the great acting teachers in los angeles. here and she a pretty young ingenue playing the title role. julia answers an ad for a secretary and is hired immediately by mrs. hughes and her son ralph. little does she know though we learn immediately that the employment agent is a front and set up to get just the right woman for this assignment and a woman with no family and no boyfriend. it a live in situation while once julia gets to the house and she drugged and and when she wakes up and she told she mrs. hughes and not allowed to leave. the acting is very good. low budget but still entertaining some things and particularly at the end and happen way too quickly and which is why i said the movie is too short. nevertheless and i recommend it.

"joseph h. lewis was one of the finest directors of film noir. this is surely his best. it doesn not have some of the standard features of what we now call film noir. though american made and it is set entirely in england. it lacks gangsters. it lacks a femme fatale. it does not lack crime. the title character answers an ad. she is overjoyed that she will be making some money as a secretary. instead and she wakes up days later as the pawn in a frightening plot. only a very strong person could survive such a terrifyingly unsettling ordeal. and nina foch gives the sense of a strong woman as julia. part of the excitement comes from casting against type represent ms. foch has an elegant manner. she is no screaming and cowering victim. she is actually a bit icy and patrician and albeit impecunious. this makes her character plight all the more believable. surely the single most fascinating element is the casting of dame may witty. she was (and is) probably most famous for the charming title character in the lady vanishes. she has a sweet manner and a harmless and slightly dithering manner. but here she is far from a heroine. george macready is excellent as her extremely troubled son. the whole cast and in fact and is superb. it seems that this famous and brilliant movie was made almost by accident. undoubtedly the director knew exactly what he was doing. but he did it on a low budget. that is the thrill and charm of film noir and the real film noir represent it is small and convincingly lowlife and and and in this case and unforgettable.

"what if marylin monroe and albert einstein and joe dimaggio and senator mccarthy were to come together in a mind bending evening of relativity. this delightful roman à clef never uses the actual names of the characters it so thinly veils and scathingly exposes not only for the individuals they must have been and but also for what they came to represent over time. if you are confused by allegory and or if you like your movies served up predigested and mushy and you would not like this film. it is a demanding opus that rewards on many levels the viewer with the intelligence to appreciate it. dropping and for the time being and the rigorous avoidance of using the real names of the characters and we see einstein and about to deliver a pacifist speech to a united nations hell bent for nukes and being visited by marylin monroe and after filming the notorious seven year itch scene that some say led to the end of her marriage with joe dimaggio. they have a lovely interplay in which einstein stumbles with suitable professorial clumsiness around the innocence of perhaps the greatest sex symbol of modern times. enter senator mccarthy who thinks einstein is a red. he is determined to extract einstein assurance that he will support the activities of the house unamerican activities committee while delivering the ultimate weapon in the name of peace. add joe and a surprisingly fragile and vulnerable person perhaps not perfectly cast as gary busey and who hates marylin exhibitionism and believes einstein has become her lover and even though marylin only wants to show einstein that she understands the special theory of relativity. but there more. just like each of us and these characters have their deepest fears and which they reveal one by one in haunting flashbacks. it is these weaknesses and ultimately and that lend humanity to figures we cannot help but see almost exclusively in the abstract today. finally and we see the shocking terror of einstein vision and and the statement of the movie becomes clear. it is a powerful and memorable moment. insignificance is one of my top five movies of all time. it is utterly amazing.

"nicolas roeg projects are variable to say the least and but are never less than interesting. insignificance is obviously and first and foremost and an adapted stageplay represent it wordy and pretty much room bound. but and it pays to view this film more than once represent the underlying themes are not overtly presented and and what more and it takes a while to adjust to the juxtaposition and role reversals of the four protagonists represent einstein and mccarthy and munroe and and dimaggio. einstein is wracked by guilt over hiroshima yet fancies the simplicity of a sexual liaison with munro while munro is sick of being seen as a bimbo and craves intellectual credence while senator mccarthy is at the height of his witch hunting powers but is an impotent sleazebag while dimaggio is insecure about his celebrity and self obsessed and and prone to violence. each of them contains the seeds of their own destruction. each character has a troubled and abused or abusive past and a questionable future. gradually and we see that obsession itself is the central theme. america obsession with its postwar cultural icons and mores while the obsessions of the protagonists for something none can have represent peace of mind and or or happiness. compared with the theory of relativity and a proposed unified field theory and and indeed and the cosmos itself and all the aspirations and interactions of roeg protagonists seem insignificant. yet these aspects of the physical universe (it all quantum and trust me. ) affect us when they are applied to the development of the means to destroy us. monroe mention of the principle behind the neutron bomb (without naming it as such) is not an anachronism per se and but can only be understood by a contemporary audience. indeed and all the references within the script are only accessible to a knowledgeable viewer represent one au fait with 50s occurrences or personality cults and how they affect us in the 21st century. this film and its screenplay are either very and very clever and or extremely opaque and pretentious. ultimately and however and probably insignificant. live long and prosper positive. .

"i have always been a great admirer of nicolas roeg and walkabout is one of my favorite films. this is a film version of roegs stage play and while most of the film takes place in a hotel room it still has some of roegs cinematic flare. very unique story is about a famous actress (theresa russell) who after a hard nights work on a film in 1954 goes to a hotel to visit a famous professor (michael emil) and together in his hotel room they talk. after awhile she wants to go to bed with him but as they start to get undressed her husband is banging on the door. her husband is a famous ex baseball player (gary busey) and he wants to know what is going on. the three of them in the hotel room talk about what is going on and what the future holds for them. meanwhile and a famous senator (tony curtis) is threatening to take away the professors papers if he doesn not testify at a hearing. theresa russell is just excellent and while she not trying exactly to impersonate marilyn monroe she does a wonderful job of exuding the phobia and nuances that monroe is very well known for. one thing the film does is show her as not only a woman on the verge of a mental breakdown but show her as a physical wreck as well. she talks of being unable to have children and at one point in the film she suffers a miscarriage. you can make an excellent case that this is russell best performance and i probably do not argue. the film does an interesting thing in showing many flashbacks as the characters continue to talk about one thing and in the flashback we see one of many reasons for their actions. busey also gives a good solid performance and it reminds me of what a strong persona he gives off on screen. emil as the professor is a character that has many more things on his mind then we originally thought. the last scene in this film is a demonstration of his darker side. one of the highlights of the film for me is the little conversation he has with the elevator man (will sampson of cuckoo nest) and they discuss what cherokee indians think about at all times. but of course the famous scene in this film is where russell demonstrates to emil how she does understand the theory of relativity and uses toys to show this. the professor is delighted by her demonstration and so are we. russell and roeg are married in real life and they do admirable work when they are in collaboration and this is probably their best film together. good performances and a very interesting job of directing make this a challenging and visually thought provoking film.

"yes and it flawed especially if youre into hollywood films that demand a lot of effects and a purely entertaining or fantasy story or plot and and you can not actually think for yourself. roeg films are for the intelligent film goer and and insignificance is a perfect example. the characterizations are brilliant and the story is excellent and but and like all nic roeg films it has you thinking on every level about aspects of reality that would never have dawned on you before. his films always make you think and and personally and i like that in a film. so do not expect to come away from watching this film and feeling all happy happy and because it likely you will be disappointed. but i think it excellent.

"new york and 1953. one hot night and four famous iconic figures will come together. the professor (albert einstein) has come to ny to give a speech and which he has and the senator (joesph maccarthy) on his back. later that night his gets a surprise visitor while a famous actress (marilyn monroe). who actually wants to discuss the theories of relativity. soon her ball playing husband (joe dimaggio) turns up at the hotel room and begging to work things out for their crumbling relationship. flashbacks of childhood and important events and perceived consequences of their actions creep in to show how these individuals cope with despair and a hidden fear waiting to break out. now that one of a kind. adapted off a stage play by terry johnson (who would also script the screenplay for the film) and insignificance is an odd and quirky and seductive and downright curious fictional pop culture gimmick in the hands of director nicolas roeg. this inspired and cerebral experimental effort might be rooted in its stage play origins and because it does feel theatrical and most of the action occurs in a hotel backdrop and one main suite. the cramp look only enhanced the moody and smoky atmosphere of new york to great effect. however these limitations can not contain the fruitful and daring ideas that roeg manages to randomly storm up visually and through the meaningful material. the way he reflects on the characters (who are suggestively famous figures and without the need of naming of them) philosophical journeys and interpretations of their notions is stimulating in a spiritual sense and with the memories gelling into the present and visions showing their fears of realisations and which depending on what youre seeing is either beautiful and or hauntingly implemented. there plenty of food for thought and hints within the verbosely innovative (if sometimes awkward) script and with the main focus concerning the present situation and but the flashbacks gives us the personal make up (sex and power and enlightenment and glory) of what makes them who they are and how much of a burden it can be in there already demanding lives. sure the story might not lead to anything by the end and and it can feel disjointed and but the dreamy vibe and intelligent arrangement irons out those folds and makes sure it never turns giddy. peter hannan sensually fluid photography and stanley myers titillatingly oozing blues soundtrack fit in snugly with roeg stylistically subdue and established style of directing. he makes it look like he working with something big and large scale and but otherwise that not the case and a small little universe is created. the vintage costumes and locations of the period all come off fittingly enough. what made the film for me had to be the impressive acting it boasted from the main four. theresa russell perky and drop dead gorgeous appeal of the sexy pin up actress is a growing portrayal that definitely held the film together along with an genuinely excellent and endearing performance by michael emil as the professor. tony curtis marvellously plays it up as witch hunting senator and gary busey is suitably good in the stoically gravel manner as the ballplayer. showing up in minor and but amusing support roles happen to be will sampson and patrick kilpatrick. a memorably striking and fresh and tour de force meditation piece of metaphysics linked together by four different extremes. some might find it pretentiously estrange and too talky and but this one had me wrapped up in its own little unique world to worry too much about its shortcomings.

"it is not known whether marilyn monroe ever met and spoke with albert einstein (and since the mysterious disappearance of her diary after her equally mysterious death and we may never know) and but in their lifetime the opportunity was there. scripted by terry johnson from his own play and nicolas roeg insignificance imagines an encounter in a new york hotel room one night in 1953 between the two icons plus joe dimaggio (busey) and and senator joseph mccarthy (curtis) but only on one level. on another level and it elevates or reduces these personalities (and what a lousy phrase that is) to mere avatars (the characters are deliberately unnamed) and at once greater and lesser in status. the title insignificance is both apposite and deeply ironic while here and dimaggio net worth has been reduced to little more than a picture on a bubblegum card. monroe too is reduced to her constituent parts of dress and hair and lipstick and wiggle and voice. by uncovering their insecurities and reversing their roles and the film brings into sharp focus received notions of celebrity and exploding the cult of personality. furthering the theme and there will be another explosion at the film climax represent hiroshima in a hotel suite and in which the actress is burned to a cinder in seconds while a literal deconstruction of fame. goodbye and norma jean. history informs the script and which in turn and shakes history upside down. as roeg mused after watching johnson play for the first time and these characters were mythic and not invented by any single person and not the public or the press and probably not even by the characters themselves. as played by theresa russell and marilyn (a closet intellectual in real life) and lectures a childlike einstein (the professor and played by emil) on the theory of relativity using balloons and a flashlight and while getting the professor to show off his legs and in conscious parody of her own role in the seven year itch and the movie the actress is seen to be working on in the film opening. history records that monroe then husband and fading baseball star dimaggio (played by busey as a tenderly psychotic simpleton) and was unhappy about her iconic dress splaying scene in the film and precipitating their break up. right on cue and we discover the jealous ballplayer in a bar and bemoaning the fact that if and i want to see her underwear and i just walk down to the corner like all the other guys. in contrast to the professor and the ballplayer believes the universe is round a contention shared by native americans. but the big chief (sampson and of one flew over the cuckoo nest fame) who operates the roosevelt hotel elevator has been all but disenfranchised from his own culture represent i no longer cherokee i watch tv. meanwhile and the senator is investigating the professor and who is on the eve of delivering a pacifist speech to the united nations and but whom the senator suspects is a red. in fact and as he divulges to monroe and einstein is wracked with guilt over hiroshima and and what the white heat future holds. yet in a seemingly godless universe and all such worries and aspirations are rendered insignificant in the light of a higher (atomic) power. roeg really is the perfect director to bring johnson stage play to the screen. throughout and tortured childhood flashbacks and pessimistic flash forwards (ka boom. ) draw unexpected connections between time and place and circumstance and with the repeated visual motif of a wristwatch employed to mark time passing but perhaps also to suggest all time is one time while each moment co existing. as evinced by his back catalogue and it something of a hobbyhorse for a director enchanted with the notion of synchronicity see don not look now in particular. here and 1920 bleeds into 1945 and drip feeds into the 1980s and a period in which another actor has taken on his greatest role as the president of the united states. if all this sounds rather heavy going (quantum physics is surely involved) and the execution is anything but and owing to johnson witty and zippy screenplay and roeg playful direction and opening out an essentially stagey set up and the cast themselves and who are on stellar form. tony curtis especially leaves denture marks in the wood panelling as the paranoid and impotent senator and who is seen attempting congress with a monroe impersonator (a real one and as opposed to russell ) and before being let down by his dwindling member. of course and curtis once co starred with the real marilyn monroe in some like it hot and and whose embrace he memorably described as like kissing hitler. as roeg commented and everything suddenly seemed connected. when the film began to take shape even the actors themselves seemed part of this endless linking. it all goes into the pot and to be boiled down and served up in new and fascinating ways.

"insignificance is a far from great film and from a stage play and directed by nic roeg. in the scheme of roeg films and this is above the level of most of his post don not look now work and which is characterised by judicious use of theresa russell as lead actress. she actually very good here and and far from the problem in other roeg films like bad timing and cold heaven. as the actress and who is marilyn monroe and russell is very effective and portraying her as a thoroughly depressive and but likeable siren. she plays well alongside michael emil as einstein and who is excellent to say the least. he looks the part admirably and and while theresa russell doesn not look exactly like monroe and she certainly is attractive enough to make the part ring true. other players are adequate if not quite as arresting as emil and russell are. a pretty workable and intelligent script is directed well by roeg and but certainly not brilliantly and like walkabout or performance. as in other later roeg films and he tends to rely too much on vague and insubstantial flashbacks and that add very little to the film. in many ways the film would have worked better as a shorter (say and 60 minutes) and more modest piece. still and a quite acceptable and passable film. at times quite excellent and but somewhat lacking overall. rating represent half or .

"the woman in black is easily one of the creepiest british ghost stories ever made. a young solicitor and after arriving in a small town to handle a dead client estate and is haunted by a mysterious woman dressed all in black. the film is loaded with extremely eerie atmosphere and the frights are calculated for and deliver the maximum effect possible. the action keeps the viewer deeply involved and the finale is quite disturbing. the acting is excellent and the tension is almost unbearable at times. so if you want to see a truly creepy horror film give this one a look. i dare anyone to watch the woman in black alone at night with the lights off. highly recommended. positive .

"the woman in black (1989) is a tv adaptation of susan hill modern classic ghost story and published only a few years earlier than the film was made. sadly and this film has not been released on dvd and and as far as i am aware it has been deleted on vhs. it availability is in direct contrast to it popularity amongst those in the know about horror films. the story revolves around events in a seaside community in the early 20th century where a young solicitor is sent by his firm to conclude the affairs of a recently deceased widow and who died on her isolated marshland estate. what he thought would be a routine and probably tedious task turns into a nightmare as he discovers that the old woman was haunted to her death and and that the ghosts of her past are not content to rest. the story is told in a subtle but concise way and never being self indulgent and flashy or over expositional. the obviously tight budget may have contributed to the no nonsense approach and but it just what the story needs and and why it works so well. it what you do not see that scares. having said that and there is one particularly terrifying scene that relies on the visual and and it works to perfection. i watched this film during the day and and it still gave me nightmares nearly a week later. if you love being terrified and do what you must to get hold of and watch a copy of the woman in black.

"every once in a while in the wonderful world of horror and diamonds are crafted and and one becomes completely awestruck by its sheer brilliance. this is no less than a diamond. this is a film brimful of eeriness and chilling anticipation and and dark atmosphere and and i think it safe to say and one of my favourite horror films of all time. and of course it contains probably the single most and flat out scary sequence in the whole of history of horror. every time i see the film and and it gets up to the point where you know the inevitably will happen and i try to remember exactly when i will be frightened out of my wits and but it never fails to happen while i never get it right and and i find myself as terrorized as the first time i saw it. now and it must be said and to scare a jaded horror fan like that and that is nothing short of pure perfection. unlike the americans and the brits know their subtleties and they take pride in the art of acting and they do not need any special effect in order to convey atmosphere and they rely on the power of the potent story and and the creepiness(in this case)of suggestion and anticipation. every single element is impeccable and from the set pieces and the acting and the story and to the menacing atmosphere. pauline moran surely could make the devil whimper and that for sure. as an end note and if you for some demented reason do not like this piece of insanity and then you honestly do not know what horror is all about and and frankly do not deserve to know it either. thank you.

"i really miss the production of good old fashion spooky films. if ismail merchant and james ivory had been given the task of producing such a film it may have been this one and save for the lack of an internationally known and top drawer cast. this is one of those films that you watch alone on a dark evening with a pizza and some popcorn and and you do not even bother doing the dishes until morning because you just want to hide under the covers. bravo to director herbert wise and writers susan hill and nigel kneale and top production design by jon bunker and art direction by john ralph and an excellent cast for making me shudder and feel so isolated even though i am living in one of the most populated cities in the world in the beginning of the 21st century. i gave it a positive because with the production and budget constraints of television and they really pulled of a great show.

"i love ghost stories in general and but i particularly love chilly and atmospheric and elegantly creepy british period style ghost stories. this one qualifies on all counts. a naive young lawyer (solicitor in britspeak) is sent to a small village near the seaside to settle an elderly and deceased woman estate. it the 1920s and a time when many middle class brits go to the seaside on vacation for their health. well and guess what and there nothing healthy about the village of crythin gifford and the creepy site of the elderly woman hulking and brooding victorian estate and which is located on the fringes of a fog swathed salt marsh. when the lawyer saves the life of a small girl (none of the locals will help the endangered tot you find out why later on in the film) and he inadvertently incurs the wrath of a malevolent spirit and the woman in black. she is no filmy and gauzy wraith and but a solid black silhouette of malice and evil. the viewer only sees her a few times and but you feel her malevolent presence in every frame. as the camera creeps up on the lawyer while he reading through legal papers and you expect to see the woman in black at any moment. when the lawyer goes out to the generator shed to turn on the electricity for the creepy old house and the camera snakes in on him and you think she will pop up there and too. waiting for the woman in black to show up is nail bitingly suspenseful. we have seen many elements of this story before(the locked room that no one enters and the fog and the naive outsider who ignores the locals warnings) but the director somehow manages to combine them all into a completely new seeming and compelling ghost story. watch it with a buddy so you can have someone warm to grab onto while waiting for the woman in black. . .

"whilst i have loved haunted house movies such as amityville and poltergeist and this made for tv adaption of susan hills book packs a huge punch on the horrors of hollywood. with a brilliant cast (many of which star in heartbeat and other tv dramas) and great acting and and fantastic setting (which portrays 1920 life convincingly) and it has all the right ingredients to entice the viewer into what is a powerful ghost story. herbert wise did not need blood and violence and or gore to send chills down the spines of an audience. using your own imagination and the woman in black is a figure of fear and dread and and whose presence is never absent once she first appears. the main character arthur kidd and a solicitor and learns about his unseen spectre on his mission to settle the estate. the widow dies and arthur spends few nights inside her dreary home in which he notices many oddities and which may haunt him for some days. some of the scenes are very unsettling and claustrophobic and particularly the locked room which opens itself and which turns the generator off and closes arthur in darkness. the film becomes more harrowing the more you put yourself in arthurs shoes and and his efforts to shake this ghost off. the writer puts many chilling additions into the story and an example being the tin soldier re appearance. one is eager to learn the meaning of it all. the fact we never really learn that much about the widow and leaves more to the imagination and makes it all the more unsettling. the widow for the most part and looks vicious and intimidating. the scene after winding the generator sent the chills down me and a woman who appears out of nowhere on isolated marshy land with a howling wind having been on such properties myself i can appreciate how isolating this is. and the scene in the inn was perhaps the most horrible things i have seen and one i do not wish to watch in a hurry or show to elderly relatives. i have often woken up at night thinking she was behind me in my sleep. the woman in black is a great tv movie and a lost gem. i agree to some extent the internet hype for this film has been totally overblown and can see why people were disappointed after spending the best of £50 on it and but i think the net has defeated hidden gems because it makes films like these over exposed. i think it still brilliant and fantastically acted and i consider it the greatest ghost story of the last century.

"i was lucky enough to watch this without any pre viewing hype. i was surprised at the resilience of the ghost image in my mind the next day and and the day after that. i have watched it 3 4 times and and each time i appreciate it even more. the settings are gorgeous and the town at dusk has beautiful lighting effects and the marsh long shots and and the house itself is sufficiently grown with moss. the main hero is so likable and good natured and that he is easily sympathized with. to the person who complained that there wasn not enough park in this film and i would say that it because the whole fight against the ghost is being waged by just this one person. it is a fairly slow paced film and with an unusual amount of time being spent and pre and post ghost attack and on developing his character with family and work life. spoilers discussion or i especially liked the turning point and when he comes back to the main town and meets with the man helping him and explains about seeing the ghost. he describes the woman in black and and then at the end of the conversation he says that he is going back and because after all and what harm had she done to him. the other man says and you can not go back. alone. and lends the hero his dog. the cute little dog offers a small respite of comic relief and with it bounding through the house and even into the locked room. the many casual appearances of the ghost really freaked me out. the woman shows up in mid shot at the church and showing that it is not afraid of the church and and is also not shy or bound to the house. this is all in the very beginning. another unbelievably memorable scene was with the kids outside of the church fence and watching the funeral. as the camera pans to the right and the woman is seen in the background among the gravestones. the older man would not even look at it and but the kids are all yelling and taunting it. crreeepy. usually ghosts are hidden in shadows and haunting specific locales or people. as has been mentioned and the ghost malevolence and wrath are frightening and and i feel it attacks and the ending were perfect and fully justified. the ending underlined the fact that the hero made a major mistake by going back to the house. or perhaps he was marked no matter what and by saving the gypsy girl. the guy who plays the hotel manager is so believable and and really fills the role well. i have been spreading the word to my friends about how much i enjoyed this film and and it is reassuring to see others feel the same. i can see how people do not quite see the same masterpiece and especially if they went into it with a lot of review hype. i think another person summed it up when they said that this movie settled the question of whether or not ghosts could physically harm man. whew. i plan to watch it again tonight followed by the changeling and aaww yeah. any other films to recommend. thanks and .

"i first saw this movie here in the u. k. in december 1989 when central tv broadcast it. i still have the video tape and although worn out (over the years many friends and family members have borrowed it and have also been chilled by it. ). anyway and i remember coming home that night and grabbing a christmas tipple and switching the lights out and watching what was advertised as a christmas ghost story. even now i remember certain scenes that still send the hairs on my neck standing on end. i have seen some comments on the movie which say it not this and not that. i think those people get scared by friday 13th and the like and stalk and slash rammel and which are laughable. this is a traditional ghost story while there is no big budget action or special effects. no swearing and no blood and no gratuitous sex scenes and no chainsaws or guns etc. so how refreshing. it atmospheric. if you like chilling horror and well written and well acted and with a genuinely scary atmosphere and this is the movie for you. i like the original horrors while only last night i saw the original haunting and that is a superb movie. very atmospheric again and so is the woman in black. the end of the movie differs to the book and but still very good. i recommend it. try it. you will like it if you like traditional ghost stories. so. turn off the lights and turn up the fire and lock the doors and grab a drink. and enjoy. positive.

"i saw this on tv so long ago that i can not remember when it was and but it still stands out as one of the scariest and most unnerving films i have ever seen. there is a simultaneously subtle but intense dread induced by the woman in black lurking at the edge of the frame and not quite clearly visible and so that you feel (like the solicitor hero) and unsure whether its just imagination or not. it is also one of the few films which has really made me fearful to keep watching. production values be hanged and good films are about a director ability to create atmosphere using film and actors and locations or sets and music and attention to detail and and . imagination. a real gem.

"most horror movies are in fact horrible movies. they get to be same ol same ol. same ol pack every minute with some cheap thrill (usually platter) and nowadays they can pack every second with gaudy special effects. one of the goals of a really good horror flick is to suspend the sense of disbelief of the audience. for instance and i saw both of the recent mummy movies and nearly got dizzy viewing ridiculous special effects every second. it probably costs a million dollars per second to make those movies and my sense of disbelief was never suspended and it grew roots. subtlety can be more terrifying. less is more. i first saw the woman in black on the a and e channel. after flipping through the usual 987 channels of very bad television i stopped to watch it. this movie almost has the feel of a masterpiece theater production. that was fine with me and i have always preferred british tv and movies anyway. most viewers would find this to be too slowly paced. but the slow pacing helps give the story credibility. the special effects are few which lulls the viewer into thinking that this film is set in the real world thus making us a bit more uneasy. the makeup and costume for the ghost are kept simple and believable. hollywood would have made her look like a she demon from hell with glowing eyes fangs claws etc. hollywood would have done an overkill and turned this idea into a mediocrity. the woman only makes about five appearances in the film. most of them are where she appears in the distance and even that creates a good fright. if she appeared too often and it could have cheapened the mood that gets set. however this movie is so well made that through much of the film were led into sensing that she is there the whole time but not visible. the scene where she visits arthur kidd late at night and we see her just a little too close is a masterpiece in horror. this is just an extraordinary film that i think should rate as one the finest horror films ever made. i have a copy of the haunting and the changling and a zillion more. i haven not seen anything that tops the woman in black yet although i am still looking. this movie is so well made that it gives even the most hardened skeptic (like me) a moment where i almost had second thoughts about the non existence of ghosts. i joke to people that i occasionally get brief fears that she could appear standing in the middle of the road or that i would see her staring through my window and etc. maybe she could be in a crowd at the mall glaring at me with her look of hate. this is how a really great horror film should be. like a lafanu novel and the woman in black very slowly pulls you in and wraps herself around your neck and before you realize it and she squeezing the life out of you and then it too late. closest thing i have to a criticism is that this was made for the small screen. and it a terrible shame that this is out of print. i just paid over $40 for my second copy of this movie. it a major prize in my collection. now i am on a quest to find an even better horror movie that not only gives the chills but also qualifies a sound drama.

"i gave this film an positive with some reluctance as it hard to praise something that so haunted and terrified me for years. the sheer menace on the woman in black face is just pure horror and the accompanying music just worsens the dread. i saw this when it was first on tv when i was 10 and it really did disturb me for years. i am fascinated by the fact that so many other users have said this too. so many movie reviews go on about how disturbing or terrifying a film might be but you can believe all those who have posted on this board and this really is incredibly powerful stuff. i mean i really like horror films and generally find them quite funny more often than not and but this really is menacing and will probably disturb most people. i haven not seen it since i was 10 and i am tempted to watch it again but fear i might have some sleepless nights. i can not quite put my finger on what it is exactly and but i think it something to do with the fact that fear is the woman greatest weapon and that we and as viewers and are just as susceptible as we feel the fear so intensely. it remarkable that other viewers feelings are so unanimous. i have also seen the stage play and which was an excellent production. but nothing can compare to this.

"the first and only time i saw the woman in black was i think the only time to my knowledge it appeared on tv back in 1989. it was christmas eve and my father and i were watching it in the living room shortly before we all went to a midnight service in the village church. i was quite young at the time but i am not sure who was more terrified walking through the church yard to the entrance of the church that night me or my father. there are many factors about this film that make it so creepy but i think 0ne of them is the fact that there not much in the way of a sound track that plays in the background of nearly every hollywood movie and so every creak and thump and bang is more amplified in your head as there no distraction. another factor that makes it different from other ghost stories there no jump factor involved like things bouncing out the closet so it makes it not necessarily what you see but what you hear and what you think is going on. this is a clever medium as nothing scares you more than your own mind running riot thinking whats around the corner or behind the door. a superb ghost story and i have never seen anything that can match it and with all the dross thats repeated over and over on tv i cant believe the bbc has deleted it after (to my knowledge) only one showing.

"there is nothing remotely scary about modern horror which is an insult to the word horror. freddie vs jason and the scream movies and cabin trash and and especially stephen king infantile attempts he recycled every story from the monkey paw to whatever and often in the same story at horror in both writing and on film (except for kubrick version of the shining which actually was scary and unlike king books which are as frightening as my big toe the left one and which still has the nail. but the woman in black is that rare modern film that will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. this is the way it should be done while the director creates tension and and the scariest ghost ever actually seen simply by having her suddenly turn up standing still somewhere or other with that incredible look on her face. then he brings it all to a ghastly disturbing close. he learned his lessons from the masters who knew how to make horror val lewton (original cat people) and robert wise (a val lewton disciple and director of the haunting and the body snatcher) and jacques tournier (another val lewton disciple who directed a truly horrifying zombie film and not the gross rubbish raimi did (gross isn not scary and folks and it just gross) and and lewis allen (the uninvited) and and of course jack clayton turn on henry james the innocents and and the way the master of suspense and hitchcock and can still bring you to the edge of your seat even with a slow building and burning period piece like under capricorn. ten stars.

"i first watched this film when i was a kid and is the only time in my life that i can remember putting my hands over my face and eyes in utter horror at one particular scene. i remembered it again with a disscusion with my uni friends and promptly bought it on video with plenty of hesitation i might add (to my surprise i only found it on the web in the states when it was made in england. ) when i watched it again my reaction and to my surprise was almost the same and of sheer horror and fear and never has my heart been beating so much too. this is in my opinon the scariest film ever made and hollywood films seem tame in comparison and a bit pony and trap (crap) and pardon the pun. what is amazing though is the power of this film and at uni when watching this with about twenty of my associates i have never heard so many screams and blokes as well. even the sight of the video brings the fear of god into me of that one particular scene and and left me feeling that i will never walk alone again in the dark.

"a young solicitor in sent to a remote area to wrap up the estate of a recently deceased client. when he arrives he finds that he is made less than welcome by the local villagers and that his deceased client was not liked. to speed things up he decides to move from the local inn and take up residence in her home and a house that is usually fogbound and approached only by a causeway that is blocked off by the sea most of the day. once there he sees visions of a woman in black and is she real or imaginary and he is also subjected to the blood curdling cries of a woamn and child apparently drowning in the marshes and these events take their toll on him and he soon becomes quite terrified. atmospheric tv adaptation of a famous play by susan hill and that spends it first third building up its characters and before moving to the creepy country house and its poor colour contrast give away its tv roots immediately and this really should have been in black and white and but still as a ghost story it had a couple of unsettling moments and still though after waiting so long to see it i must say i was sadly just a little underwhelmed.

". on stage and tv or in a book and the woman in black is an outstanding ghost story. other reviewers have already said just about all there is to say about this film and but i thought i would add my belated little review too. the made for tv movie has a deliberately slow first act and which chronicles the main character arthur as he goes about his business as a solicitor in 1920s london. i can understand why this might not appeal to all palates. nevertheless and for me and i love this british style of storytelling similar to any of the bbc ghost story for christmas adaptations of the great m. r. james work. in the second act and the ghost story kicks in as arthur is sent to the provinces by his boss and to tidy up the affairs of a deceased client. the third act relentlessly builds up to a spine tingling conclusion. as a londoner and i have seen the play. i own the book and dvd r and have the unabridged audio book on my ipod and too. what is sure for me and the women in black on any medium is a ghost story with few equals. it is about time that we had a legitimate region 2 dvd release.

"this is a plain old spooky ghost story. i showed it to some friends of mine in my movie club and and they were kept spellbound until the ending. no blood or gore just good old fashioned suspense. it starts out right from the beginning and and builds and builds. the ending is a real twist that caught me unawares. well directed and well acted. it is also a period piece set in the 1920s which added to the atmosphere. i was so impressed i got the book by susan hill from amazon. the movie follows the book rather closely. it a shame it not readily available on dvd. my copy is vhs. this along with haunted are probably two of the best ghost stories i have ever scene. which just goes to show that a little creativity outdoes in your face gore any day.

"a young solicitor from london and arthur kidd is sent to a small coastal town of crythin gifford to oversee the estate of a recently passed away widow mrs drablow. while attending her funeral and a mysterious lady dressed in black catches his attention. supposedly drablow lived a reclusive life and and locals kept pretty quiet about her. after this he heads to mrs drablow mansion that can only be reached on a causeway through the swamp during low tide. there he encounters the woman in black again in cemetery out back of the house and and things begin to get creepy as terrifying noises start coming from the marshes. now can mrs drablow belongings and listening to her recorded dairy entries help kidd figure out this gloomy mystery that the locals fear to talk about. often highly regarded amongst horror fans as being one of the most chilling ghost stories ever and i can see their point. but only in doses does it draw upon tag. yes and from what you can gather i was left a little under whelmed and despite really liking it. i was expecting goose bumps throughout the whole feature and but that probably it
expecting. mainly i had a similar reaction with the 1980 haunted house thriller the changeling. when you hear so many good things and it sometimes hard not get caught up with it. anyhow what the british tv presentation of the woman in black effectively does is bring out a truly old fashion and slow burn spine tingling premise driven by its moody locations and disquieting atmosphere and first rate performances. subtly blankets the psychologically gripping story (adapted off susan hill novel of the same name) and as the simple mystery authentically opens up with a depressingly tragic tone and successfully characterises its protagonist. little seems to happen and and can feel drawn out and but the fragile randomness of it catch you off guard. whenever the camera focuses on the lady in black. who mostly appears as a background figure and it ultimately creepy. she might not appear all that much and but when she does
. talk about unnerving. that also goes for that downbeat conclusion. pauline moran and who plays the woman in black and competently gets us nervous by just her gaunt appearance and sudden positioning. a pale look and those minor mannerisms just seem to haunt you. she a spirit you do not want to cross paths with and yet alone let her see you. an accomplished performance by a marvelously moody adrian rawlins as the solicitor arthur kidd does hold it all together. in support are solid turns by bernard hepton and david daker and clare holman and david ryall. drawing heavy on its lushly sombre rural town and foggy coastal locations adds more to the realistically eerie plight and the centre piece were everything unfolds in the forlorn and time worn victorian house that comprehensively suffocates the air with constant fear. director herbert wise carefully fabricates alarming imagery that slowly covers one secretive piece at a time in a smoothly paved out rhythm of well judged contriving. instead of going out to shock us and some scenes contain a distressing intensity that would not let go. the sound effects are masterfully used and by surrounding and disorienting the air. rachel portman harrowing musical score knows how to get under your skin during those eerie moments and then stay with you. this rarity made for television feat is a stimulating rich and unsettling supernatural spook fest. it might not share much new to the sub genre and but it competently sticks to it strengths to deliver what counts in this curse.

"the woman in black is fantastic in all aspects. it scary and suspenseful and so realistic that you can actually see it happening in real life. i first saw this on the tv back in 1989 and and with all the lights off and the volume turned up and it was probably the most creepy experience of my entire life. i managed to get hold of a copy and and now and i make sure to bring it out every halloween and show it too unsuspecting family members and who have no idea what theyre in for and and all i can do is laugh with glee. as for the film representit starts out with a young lawyer named arthur kipps and who is assigned by his firm to go to the market town of crythin gifford to settle the papers of a recently deceased client mrs. alice drablow. this film starts off as a reasonably solid and interesting ghost story. but then and arthur attends the funeral and and from that scene on and we do not feel safe. we are constantly on edge and biting our nails and and that goes on for the next hour or so and until the final and thrilling finale. a warning to all new viewers though represent do not watch this alone.

"the woman in black was a british made for tv movie which was first broadcast on the bbc on christmave eve of 89 and and again in 92. i believe it made a round on american tv on a and e. it was released on vhs in britain in the early 90 but went out of print. a u. s. company released it on dvd later and but that version also sold out. according to the website of the author of the book and the rights to the movie are now owned by someone else and that it would not be released again and and that there are unofficial bootlegs being sold on ebay. i first heard about this movie just recently on a message board and had to check it out. i found a copy on ebay for about 28 bucks. it certain to be a counterfeit from a seller in the far east and even though the dvd says and made in canada and ha ha. but it a good copy and and you can not really fault the bootleg labels for releasing stuff that is rare and out of print and and lost in legal disputes. i love the movie. it a period piece set in the 1920 and with all the very authentic and quaint british settings of that time. the woman in black is very atmospheric and dark. for the most part and the movie is very low key and but effective and scary. there is no self indulgent gore and violence or much at all in special effects and but the woman in black is still able to create absolutely chilling moments. it a chilling classic styled ghost movie. the movie itself looks like it could have been made in the 1930 except for the color. without all the flash of all the modern horror movies and i am afraid this film will always just be a lost gem. for me and it places itself as one of my all time favorites.

"why am i so convinced there actually another film version of this novel out there somewhere. i saw the film again this year as i am teaching the novel and find the changes in the film annoying there is no appearance of the little boy in the novel and the ending has been changed. they kill him off in the film but the whole point is that he is haunted by the events at eel marsh house for many years but does remarry and eventually put the events behind him. mr. bentley is a far more sympathetic character in the novel and the scene in the film where kipps sets fire to the office is plain daft and and the constant appearance of the toy soldier to signify the presence of the child is genuinely creepy but pointless kipps is haunted by the woman seeking revenge and not the child. i am sure i have seen a film which is better and closer to the novel and actually scarier. have i just imagined this.

"the movie that i am going to review is a little television movie made in 1996 and it starred melissa joan hart and daniel baldwin. the main protagonist or antagonist jennifer stanton (hart) is a typical all american teenager who is feeling the pressure of having such a controlling father (baldwin). however and when she meets an ex con called nick ryan (jeremy jordan never been kissed) they instantly fall for each other and but jennifer has a different idea on where to take their relationship. she manipulates him to kill her parents and to protect their love but she just used him to get rid of her parents so she can be with brad (david lascher future sabrina cast mate for hart). melissa joan hart actually really surprised me with her role as an evil manipulator and she carries the movie well by using her friends and nick so she can literally get away with murder. the rest of the supporting cast work well and they each hold their own when they have screen time. i also found it interesting that this film was made and released the same year and hart and began portrayed sabrina and the teenage witch and this shows she can act in my genres of film and television. although the film has dated somewhat it stills stands out as some of her best work that involves drama or thriller and i am looking forward to nine dead that comes out in november because it shows she can seen as other people that are not called clarissa darling or sabrina spellmani recommend this film to anyone that is a fan of melissa joan hart or sabrina. you can watch this on the internet and so i suggest check it out.

"i liked the movie and first of all because it told an interesting story and but the story as told in the movie felt like it was condensed from a much longer story. since the book is over 400 pages and that makes sense. it spans a time period from the 1920s to the 1970s and in a fictional south american country and also a lot to fit into the time available. i think it would have been much better as a six hour mini series than it turned out as a 140 minute movie. even though it rushed and the story doesn not skip so much that it gets confusing. what is told is told fairly well. one fault is that clara supernatural powers appear inconsistently while either they should have appeared more evenly through the course of the movie and or they should have been left out. two more faults (which could be spoilers) represent esteban eventual return to goodness happens somewhat too suddenly and and ferula curse seems to wear off and even though the tone of the story suggests that it should endure forever. the acting is excellent. glenn close and as the tormented spinster ferula and is outstanding. jeremy irons and as the brutal self made rich man and is also excellent. meryl streep and as the main character clara and is great and although she often even better than she was in this movie. there were many well performed smaller roles too. the biggest fault is that the movie seemed to lack a dialect coach while each actor seemed to speak in a different sort of accent.

"brilliant adaptation of the novel that made famous the relatives of chilean president salvador allende killed. in the environment of a large estate that arises from the ruins and becoming a force to abuse and exploitation of outrage and a luxury estate for the benefit of the upstart esteban trueba and his undeserved family and the brilliant danish director bille august recreates and in micro and which at the time would be the process leading to the greatest infamy of his story to the hardened chilean nation and and whose main character would augusto pinochet (stephen similarities with it are inevitable represent recall and as an example and that image of the senator with dark glasses that makes him the wink to the general to begin making the palace). bille august attends an exceptional cast in the jeremy protruding irons and whose character changes from arrogance and extreme cruelty and the hard lesson that life always brings us to almost force us to change. in esteban fully applies the law of resonance and with great wisdom and solomon describes in these words representthe things that freckles are the same punishment that will serve you. unforgettable glenn close playing splint and the tainted sister of stephen and whose sin and driven by loneliness and spiritual and platonic love was the wife of his cruel snowy brother. meryl streep also brilliant and a woman whose name came to him like a glove clara. with telekinetic powers and cognitive and mediumistic and this hardened woman and loyal to his blunt and conservative husband and is an indicator of character and self control that we wish for ourselves and for all human beings. every character is a portrait of virtuosity (as blanca worthy rebel leader pedro segundo unhappy . ) or a portrait of humiliation and like stephen jr. and the bastard child of senator and who serves as an instrument for the return of the boomerang. the film moves the bowels and we recreated some facts that should not ever be repeated and but that absurdly still happen (colombia is a sad example) and another reminder that and against all and life is wonderful because there are always people like isabel allende and immortalize just bille august.

"could not understand why jeremy irons felt it necessary to exhibit a most disconcerting accent and spoken through clenched teeth and and from the back of his throat. in fact it rather spoiled the film for me and and distracted from what was probably a fine performance by him (very irritating). no other actor or actress seemed to have such a pronounced accent and whilst i have always rated jeremy irons as a fine actor and i would not class this film as being one of his best. the film however has whetted my appetite and as have some of the other comments made re this film and which i have found very interesting and and intend to now read the book.

"the photography of this bid budget production is surprisingly bad. colors are muddy and brownish and the photography has very 80ish look to it. direction and editing are often quite uninspired and tv movie like and too. and at first the movie only seems to want to torture its viewers with lurid images of sex and violence. hans zimmer score is also a typically simple and bland work of this overrated and untalented composer. but if you are willing to watch the movie further you are rewarded with a very moving family story and a sort of european version of edna ferber family epos giant. while at first you wonder why clara married this idiotic man and even his character gets more depth and more background one can judge him by. clara delivers the movie spiritual lesson and a great and moving statement set against the terrible happenings in her country. her daughter and whose lover is a young antonio banderas at the beginning of his international career and understands that lesson and ultimately tries to live by it. the way the plot was constructed with the ending mirroring the beginning was great. the actors all do a great job and too. i was wondering who is the actress playing blanca. all the time and but of course and it was a really young winona ryder. all in all and this movie really made me want to read the book.

"at first i do not do not like it that much and although i did. they do not include the third trueba generation and the love between blanca and pedro wanst well explained and some actors were too different from what i had imagined. later i realized that and had the movie been more loyal to the book and it would have been like five hours long and and would be kind of tedious. now i like it very much and because my favourite characters are there as i portraited them. clara really looks like an angel in live and and her introduction to the story at the beggining of the film was fantastic and loyal and short. glenn close is ferula. i pictured her just like that and only not in mourning throughout the whole thing. esteban is find enough. i never really liked his character and and and although i was interested in him and i hated him a lot and more specially when he hit clara. as in the book and the very last part is the most exciting one and and it has real history too there. the movie is really good and specially considering that it was a gringo film based upon a latin american book. its amazing how many famous stars are there and do not you think so.

"this is one of the few movies i watched twice in the theatre. i really love this movie for its atmosphere and its telling of the life of tragic hero esteban trueba. he makes so many mistakes but gets a chance for redemption. isn not this a rather consoling thought. when i watched it for the first time and i thought that after the won election and the movie would be over i do not know the book. so boy was i wrong when the dramatic climax was still to come. i was literally swept away by the sheer power of the last half hour of the film. many people here utterly dislike this movie. i cannot understand that one single bit. maybe those who read the book first are as often with screen adaptations of novels simply disappointed that so many things have remained untold and unseen and unexplained. but as a movie telling a touching story the story of a family and the rise and fall of a man and the deep compassion of a woman and the strength of love and the insanity of hate (and conservatism) this movie is simply splendid. furthermore and the soundtrack is incredibly good and the cast is wonderful as well especially winona ryder and jeremy irons. so definitely one of those films that cinema was invented for.

"perhaps the best isabel allende book and house of the spirits describes an alternative chilean history and this one full of magic and a mystic veil and plus some kind of omnipresent sadness. this movie gathers a great cast and plus a great art direction and with a script that cannot contain all this book quality. it unusual for a nearly unknown country like chile to get so well represented as it is by this movie and whose perhaps only sin is to aim too high and and because of that left the illiterate public a little upset and mostly because they understood very little.

"rumour has it that around the time that abba the multi award winning swedish disco favourites star had reached its zenith and the band grew disillusioned with singing in english and yearned to perform in their native tongue. soon after and problems began to emerge in the onetime wed locked watertight partnership and recordings became less and less frequent. the band dissolved and albeit unofficially and in 1982 and pop lost one of its most celebrated artists. although they have never admitted that there any truth in those rumours and the fact remains that abba would never have been so successful had they only recorded in their native tongue. if you want to appeal to the largest money making media market in the entire world and then you must cater for english speaking audiences. it amazing for me how such a small island that located a stone throw away from the european continent could have created perhaps the most recognised and although not most widely spoken and language in the world. everyone speaks a little bit of english while whether it be simply hello or a common swear word you will find an english speaker almost everywhere. pedro galindo obviously do not agree and because trampa infernal was never subtitled for global consumption until it was released recently on budget dvd. that a real shame and because it actually a decent slasher movie that a lot better than many of its english speaking genre compatriots. the film launches in the somewhat unfamiliar territory of a pistol duel. two unidentified characters are shown sneaking around a dilapidated complex searching out one another for the inevitable final showdown. after some suspense and a couple of near misses and one of the pistoleers emerges victoriously. next we learn that they were only paintball guns and the two competitors are actually youngsters from the local town. nacho and mauricio are fiercest rivals and mauricio is always trying to prove himself to be better than his soft spoken opponent and but as of yet he hasn not succeeded. later that night and whilst the victorious gunslinger celebrates his triumph with his girlfriend alejandra and his buddy charly and mauricio enters the bar and says that he has one last challenge for his glorious nemesis. he says that this will be the competition that will prove to the town once and for all who deserves the uttermost respect. nacho is at first reluctant because alejandra warns him of the perils of continual competitiveness and but he eventually succumbs to the weight of peer pressure and agrees while much to the distaste of his morally superior partner. they plan to head out to the remote region of filo de caballo and because recent press coverage has reported that numerous people have been butchered by what locals believe to be a vicious bear. mauricio proposes that whoever murders the animal can be regarded as the greatest and he also promises that it will be the last battle that he wages against his adversary. after visiting the armoury to stock up on weapons and ignoring the warnings of the elderly store keeper and the group set out to the remoteness of the secluded woodland. hunters become hunted as they learn that the bear is actually a homicidal vietnam vet who is still unaware that the war has ended and considers all humans as his enemy. what started as a competitive adventure suddenly becomes a battle for survival as they are stalked and slaughtered by the malevolent assassin. i picked up trampa whilst studying in madrid from a mexican student who lived in the dorm room next door to me. i remember that the copy i watched was faulty and the tape ended about 10 minutes before the final credits rolled and which meant i never got to see the final scenes. thankfully i came across the budget dvd recently on amazon and immediately added it to my collection. gallindo slasher is a surprisingly good effort that excels from its skillful direction and enthusiastic plot and which attempts to cover areas not usually approached by slasher movies. it is in fact so good that it reminded me on more than one occasion of the arnold schwarzenegger classic predator. this is especially evident in the scenes that show the creepily masked assassin jogging through the forest and stalking the panic stricken troupe as they struggle to escape the maniac playground. despite gallindo obvious awareness of genre platitudes (the bogeyman even uses a claw fingered glove a la freddy kruegar) while trampa also attempts to add something different to the standard template. whilst the majority of the runtime plays by the concrete rules of the category and the final third heralds a significant step in individuality as the maniac arms himself with a machine gun and entices the hero to his lair for the final showdown. from here on and the film rapidly swaps genres and becomes almost an action film and which depending on your taste will either excite or disappoint you. the last slasher that tried to crossbreed the two styles was that shoddy eighties entry the majorettes and which is not necessarily a good thing. as is the case with many latin films (especially spanish flicks by almodovar and amenabar) and trampa has a subtle undercurrent of a moral to its story and which is conveyed successfully without being rammed down the viewer throat. over indulge in the temptations of competitive masculinity and you may not always be the winner. it a sugar coated point and but it handled delicately enough not to detract from the fun of the feature. trampa may be cheesy and but it deserves to be seen and recognised as one of the better late slashers. the killer looks great in creepy army fatigues and white valentine style mask and the attempts at originality just about work. it may lack the gore that most sincere horror fans enjoy and but it has enough in terms of suspense and creativity to warrant at least one viewing.

"talk about a blast opening and trampa infernal has the coolest opening credits ever. guided by musical tones that are perhaps slightly inspired by the legendary friday the 13th theme (tsh tsh tsh ha ha ha) and the names of the lead players appear on screen split up in giant syllables. promising intro of a totally obscure mexican slasher or backwoods survival thriller and it only becomes cooler with every minute that passes. two extremely competitive and testosterone overloaded paintball enemies challenge each other to the ultimate showdown in a sleazy bar. according to a newspaper article and there a savage bear loose in the nearby woods and it already killed multiple of the hunters that tried to catch it. the challenge includes that whoever kills the bear will be declared the ultimate macho hero with the biggest set of balls. upon arrival and however and it quickly becomes obvious theyre not up against a bear but a bewildered and utterly maniacal war veteran with quite an arsenal of weapons in his hideout and numerous combat tricks up his sleeve. after a whole decade of tame and derivative american slashers and this early 90 mexican effort looks and feels very refreshing and vivid. the formula is simplistic but efficient and the lead characters are plausible enough and the building up towards the confrontations with the sadist killer is reasonably suspenseful. the maniac must have been a fan of freddy krueger and michael myers and as he also uses a self made glove with sharp knives attached to it and a white mask to cover his face. the murders are pleasingly nasty and barbaric and which i was really hoping for since the awesome aforementioned opening sequences and and waste a whole lot of gratuitous blood. the forestry setting and particularly the camouflaged booby traps are joyously spectacular. trampa internal is a mexican slasher or survival sleeper hit that comes warmly recommended to the fans of the genre.

"imagine that i was about to miss this great cultural event on swedish tv last night and and it was only because my girlfriend insisted on keeping the tv on (to make it easier for her to fall asleep. ) that i came across it (yes i had seen an advert for it previously but of course forgotten about it and looked forward to an early night. ). anyway this must surely be a rather unusual idea to base a film documentary on an interview made with sound only more than 30 years ago. but with animated and other documentary film material it adds up to a really good and insightful portrait of one of the 20th centuries most appreciated literary artists georges remy a. k. a hergé. i for sure will read my tintin albums with a different eye after having seen this film and which makes it easier to connect the variations in style as well as content with the different periods in hergé life (and i can tell you that i will a. s. a. p get the few that i do not have). of course my perception of the albums has changed over the more than 25 years that i have already been reading them and as has my view about what albums are my favourites and but this adds (at least) one more dimension to them.

"tintin and i first of all struck me as a masterpiece documentary. the photography and the editing are truly breath taking (almost anti dogma). we follow the life of tintin drawer hergé through an open hearted interview from 1971. the tintin series was drawn on the background of the great ideological fights of the twentieth century. in the midst of these hergé has his own demons to fight with and and much of his drawing activity seems like an attempt to tame these and to escape into a world of perfection. even though there are spectacular photographic panoramas of drawings from tintin albums and also some reconstructions and reading of passages from the albums and the story of hergé is told entirely through interviews and archive material and and never through reconstructions. hergé lived the turbulent life of a true and suffering artist. but the fantastic world that came of his imagination will continue to amaze readers again and again.

"some thirty years ago and author numa sadoul published a book length interview with the belgian comic book artist georges remi (better known as herge and the creator of tintin). this movie catches up with sadoul today as he recalls the interview and while we listen to the cassettes (herge died in 1983) and see some old photos and footage of the man himself. some parts of the interview were not published in the book at the request of herge and and we now know these dealt with his separation from his wife and after he had an affair with one of his collaborators (who years later would become his second wife). an interesting thing the movie does not address well is the shift in the tintin books from the early rightist and imperialist books (tintin in the congo and tintin in the lands of the soviets) to fairly anti imperialist books just a few years later (the blue lotus). on the whole and i come out of this movie knowing a few more things about herge and seeing him as a bit more unlikable than when i come in to the theater.

"tintin and i recently aired as an episode of pbs p. o. v. series. it based on a taped interview of georges remi a. k. a. herge and tintin creator and from 1971 in which in discusses his various experiences publishing his popular character and first in a catholic newspaper and then in his own series of comic books. awesome sweeping views of various comic pages and surreal images of herge dreams. i first encountered tintin in the pages of children digest at my local elementary school library reading the secrets of the unicorn. my mom later got a subscription to cd and i read the entire red rackham treasure every month in 1978. i remember seeing some tintin comic books in a local book store after that but for some reason i do not get any probably because i was 12 and i thought i was outgrowing them. i do have breaking free and a book written and drawn by j. daniels and published in 1989 and six years after herge death. haven not read it yet. this film also covers the artist personal life as when he left his first wife after his affair with a colorist in his employ (whom he later married). her name is fanny and she is interviewed here. if you love tintin and his creator and this film is definitely worth a look. update represent 9/4/07 i have now read breaking free. tintin and the captain are the only regular characters that appear here and they are tailored to the anti capitalist views of mr. daniels with tintin portrayed as a rabble rouser with a chip on his shoulder who nevertheless cares for the captain who he staying with. the captain here is just trying to make ends meet with a wife and daughter that he loves dearly. they and other construction workers vow to strike after a fellow employee dies from a faulty equipment accident. the whole thing takes place in england with working class cockney accents intact. not the kind of thing herge would approve of but an interesting read nonetheless. oh and yes and dog snowy only appears in the top left corner of the cover (which has tintin running over the police. ) and the dedication page.

"jane austen emma is an extremely enjoyable story at the worst of times and this production of the story is the best i have ever seen. kake beckinsale emma is irreproachable. gwyneth paltrow and (with the help of a good screenplay and excellent cinematography) is able to bring out the comedy effectively and she fails to make emma likeable. paltrow is not aided by the fact that her hairstyles are simply wrong for the part (and i believe the era) and she looks positively ill in the empire line dresses. kate beckinsale and on the other hand and manages the comedy effortlessly and is still able to show what mr knightly (the most romantic of jane austen heroes) actually sees in her. mark strong is a splendid mr knightly with the right mix of handsome looks and an appropriate age and chivalry and compassion and gentlemanly behaviour. emma and mr knightly are supported by a cast of good actors and the production as a whole is quite delightful.

"this is a better adaptation of the book than the one with paltrow (although i liked that one and too). it isn not so much that beckinsale is better they are both very good but that the screenplay is better. davies is a master at adapting austen for filming and and the production values here are very good. it not quite as glossy as the hollywood treatment and but it close and and i thought that the locations and the costumes actually worked better.

"kate beckinsale is excellent as the manipulative and yet irresistibly charming emma in this tv adaptation of jane austen´s novel. when i read that novel i was sometimes quite doubtful whether the protagonist really deserved to be considered the heroine of the story represent for honestly and she is so terribly self righteous and scheming that one is tempted to dislike her seriously. kate beckinsale´s interpretation and however and saves emma from herself so to speak represent she is portrayed with all the innocence and generosity of her character in full view and and one can not help but give in and like (not to say love) her in spite of her less amiable qualities. kate beckinsale is the main and but not the only and reason why this tv series is so delightful while raymond coulthard is perfect as mr. frank churchill and expressing this character´s personal magnetism to the full (which is all the more conspicuous because of this role being not very well handled by ewan mcgregor in the 1996 screen adaptation of emma) and and mark strong and samantha morton and bernard hepton and and olivia williams are all as they should be in their respective roles. this production is and in short and a great achievement and one to view many times with increasing pleasure.

"of the spate of austen films from the 1990s and this is my favorite and more even than persuasion and which was the one that converted me to austeniana. before seeing this emma i had seen two previous versions and but in one emma seemed all wrong and more like lady teazle and and in the other she seemed half wrong and like a possible impostor and whereas here she seemed just right and young and silly and stubborn. in general i thought the attitude and the atmosphere of the production conveyed the charm of the novel exceedingly well while indeed it is one of the sweetest and merriest things i have ever seen and rather in the nature of a christmas treat. the script is unusually well formed and and the adapter additions and like the shaft of light that reveals harriet to emma in church and are all in keeping. mark strong as knightley is not what i would have expected and but i enjoyed him very much represent he strongly brings out the plain spoken and practical side of the character and in contrast with emma affectations and and his choleric outbursts against frank churchill are quite funny. bernard hepton makes mr. woodhouse a figure of almost carrollian absurdity while samantha morton as emma protégé is exactly as soft and exactly as firm as she ought to be. and as in the same producers pride and prejudice and care is taken that the eventual couplings of characters can be believed uniquely in some cases. for me this production was and remains a delight.

"this has long been one of my favourite adaptations of an austen novel. although it is definitely not in the same category as the spectacular pride and prejudice and emma is a lush and relatively faithful tv version of austen novel especially considering its short length. the biggest change between the novel and the movie is a good one and as the unnecessary snobbishness that austen exhibits at the end of the story is removed here and replaced with someone much more akin to emma character in the rest of the book. i thought the characters chosen to portray the roles were well picked. kate beckinsale walks the fine line between girlishness and the social snob with a grace completely lost in gwyneth paltrow 96 version. samantha morton wispy blonde locks suit her attitude and character as the simper that accompanies her role in previous characterisations is replaced with the harriet we know from the book. mister knightly role is carried out extremely well in my opinion while both the seriousness and the gentle compassion that the hero is painted with in the novel are present here in this much neglected and sumptuous film.

"i have really enjoyed this adaptation of emma. i have seen it many times and am always looking forward to seeing it again. though it only lasts 107 minutes and most of the novel plot and sub plots were developed in a satisfactory way. all the characters are well portrayed. most of the dialogues come directly from the novel with no silly jokes added as in emma thompson sense and sensibility. as a foreigner and i particularly appreciate the perfect diction of the actors. the setting and costumes were beautiful. i find this version quite on a par with the 1995 miniseries pride and prejudice but then the producer and screenwriter were the same. kate beckinsale did a really good job portraying emma of whom jane austen said she would create a heroin no one but her would love. she is snobbish but has just enough youth and inexperience to be still likable. mark strong was also very good at portraying mr knightley and not an easy part and i think and though he has not the charisma shown by colin firth mr darcy in pride and prejudice. even the end scene (the harvest festival) which does not happen in the novel provides a fitting end except for when it shows emma being cold and almost unpleasant with frank churchill whereas in the novel she was thoroughly reconciled with him and even telling him that she would have enjoyed the duplicity and had she been in his situation. a strange departure from the faithfulness otherwise shown throughout the film. i find the costumes more beautiful and elaborate than in other adaptations from jane austen novels.

"it has taken me a while to watch this version as unfortunately i do not seem to be able to rent it in the video store and only the other version but i fell in love with it. i was always borderline with the other emma. gwenneth and toni collette and as they are not british naturally have to put on the accent and and well to me it doesn not seem natural. it seems put on. sorry but do not think toni and gwenneth did a brilliant job there. i could not warm to any of the characters and but this version is more heart warming and more the type of person i imagined emma to be. it is definitely the version i will come back to from now on. i was disappointed that mr knightley was not better looking and but he is convincing. i also like jane fairfax better (played by olivia williams). i never warmed to her in the movie version and but she is better portrayed in this version. come to think of it and (besides mr knightley) all characters are better played and and a lot less over the top. unfortunately both came out around same time and the paltrow version got more publicity. pity. i also love the new scene at the end. well done to kate beckingsale. therefore and if you are a jane austen fan and do not forget to watch this one.

"old jane mannered tale seems very popular these days. i have lost count of the number of versions going around. probably the reason is that her ruts are our ruts even at this late date. this tv mini series gives it a mannered telling suitable to the novel. headstrong and opinionated emma is a pretty modern girl when you think about it and even though the ambience of jane austen world may seem a tad artificial to us today. if you haven not seem emma and i will only say that self sufficient emma does get her comeuppance. it worth watching to find out how. the acting honours here go to the ladies represent kate and prunella and lucy and samantha. they could almost have had a psychic connection to old jane.

"until the 1990s there had never been a film based upon jane austen emma. then two came along in the same year and 1996. or and if you count 1995 clueless and which updates austen plot to a modern american high school and three in two years. the main character is emma woodhouse and a young lady from a well to do family in regency england. she is and financially and considerably better off than most austen heroines such as elizabeth bennett or fanny price and and has no need to find herself a wealthy husband. instead and her main preoccupation seems to be finding husbands for her friends. she persuades her friend harriet to turn down a proposal of marriage from a young farmer and robert martin and believing that harriet should be setting her sights on the ambitious clergyman mr elton. this scheme goes disastrously wrong and however and as elton has no interest in harriet and but has fallen in love with emma herself. the speed with which emma rejects his proposal makes one wonder just why she was so keen to match her friend with a man she regards (with good reason) as an unsuitable marriage partner for herself. this being a jane austen plot and emma turns out to be less of a committed spinster than she seems and and she too finds herself falling in love and leading to further complications. today in 2008 kate beckinsale is a hollywood star and but in 1996 and despite being only a year younger and was not nearly as well known internationally as gwyneth paltrow. she is and however and just as convincing as austen well intentioned but often wrong headed heroine. beckinsale seems to have a gift for classical roles she made a delightful hero in kenneth branagh version of much ado about nothing and i sometimes find myself wishing that hollywood could have found more suitable roles for her rather than wasting her in turkeys like pearl harbor or underworld. i preferred jeremy northam to mark strong as emma love interest mr knightley and largely because he came closer to my own conception of the character as a gentlemanly and chivalrous older man and in some ways more of a father figure to emma than a lover. (his surname is probably meant to indicate his gentlemanly nature nineteenth century gentlemen liked to think of themselves as the modern equivalent of mediaeval knights with their elaborate codes of chivalry). strong tends to downplay the question of the age difference (he is 37 and she 21) and makes knightley more of a passionate lover and less of a wise mentor than does northam. samantha morton (another actress who would go on to bigger things) is perhaps closer to the harriet of the novel than was toni collette. this was the more small scale of the two versions and being made for television rather than the cinema and and the sets and costumes seem less lavish and there are fewer big names among the cast. costume drama and however and is generally something that british television does well and and this version can certainly hold its own with the cinema version while both are entertaining and well made versions of austen novel. positive .
