The Motorcycle Diaries

Video Collection Int. Ltd.

Amazon.co.uk Review
The beauty of the South American landscape and of Gael Garcia Bernal (Y
Tu Mama Tambien, Bad Education) gives The Motorcycle
Diaries a charisma that is decidedly apolitical. But this portrait
of the young Che Guevara (later to become a militant revolutionary) is
half buddy-movie, half social... |

Amazon.co.uk Review
A genuinely epic achievement, the 10-part World War II drama Band of
Brothers is a television series that makes big-screen Hollywood war
movies look small in comparison. Based on the book by historian Stephen
Ambrose, the series follows the US 101st Airborne Division's "Easy"
E-Company from initial... |

Amazon.co.uk Review
This five-hour adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was a massive
success, getting the nation's ladies very excited by Colin Firth's Mr
Darcy, no more so than when he appeared, in a scene not in the novel, in
a wet shirt. To be fair, Jennifer Ehle, who makes an excellent Elizabeth
Bennett, had already... |

Alfie [2004]

Paramount Home Entertainment (UK)
DVD - February 21, 2005 |
Amazon.co.uk Review
Jude Law's Alfie, much like Michael Caine's in the 1966 original,
is what you'd call an unrepentant womanizer. He beds 'em but never weds
'em, and New York provides ample opportunity to continue the
process--until reality slaps him in the face. Because Jude Law is, well,
Jude Law, you can see why he... |

Amazon.co.uk Review
There is no letdown in talent or skill for the third season of this blue
ribbon drama. One could say these 22 episodes play as a continuation of
the second season; there are no major new characters or earth-shattering
plots and the Emmys rewarded the series with its third straight award
for Best... |

Amazon.co.uk Review
When you consider that old-fashioned tearjerkers are an endangered
species in Hollywood, a movie like The Notebook can be embraced
without apology. Yes, it's syrupy sweet and clogged with clichés, and
one can only marvel at the irony of Nick Cassavetes directing a weeper
that his late father... |

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Sopranos is more than just a suburban Godfather, it's
a modern-day I, Claudius with all the consanguineous conflict of
the Caesars translated to New Jersey. At the beginning of the third
series--just as brilliant and compelling as the first two--the Soprano
clan are under close surveillance from... |

The second series of The Sopranos, David Chase's ultra-cool and
ultra-modern take on New Jersey gangster life, matches the brilliance of
the first, although it's marginally less violent, with more emphasis
given to the stories and obsessions of supporting characters. Sadly, the
programme-makers were... |

Much like the novels of Fanny Burney or Jane Austen 200 years before,
Sex and the City tackles that perennial female conundrum, how to
maintain independence from men (intellectual, sexual, financial) while
seeking the ideal life-partner for whom that much-cherished independence
can safely be... |

First off, if you're a GwtW fanatic, you must buy this four-disc
collection. But then again, you probably don't need to read this to make
that decision. For the rest of us, know that the kitchen-sink approach
has been established here with two full discs of extras. The film's
restoration under... |
