Romola Garai

Charlie Hunnam, Jamie Bell

MGM (Video & DVD), 2003

Almost perfect Nicholas Nickleby
This came as a bit of a surprise, suffice it to say, due to the photo used on the cover. I expected less but was so pleasantly surprised! I read Nicholas Nickleby years ago and have no plans to read it in the near future. That said, I had forgotten much of the ...

As You Like It

Takuya Shimada, Brian Blessed

Hbo Home Video, 2007

A movie that proves "all the world's a stage"
XXXXX This movie is based on William Shakespeare's romantic comedy play "As You Like It" (circa 1600), one of his greatest comedies. I feel that this movie catches the essence of the play with director Kenneth Branagh (who also adapted the play to the screen and ...

Scoop

Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson

Universal Studios, 2006

Back to Basics
It is certainly hard to believe that Woody Allen has been creating films for over a generation - the mind boggles at the extent of his entire body of work. There isn't a filmmaker out there one could say has hit the mark every time, and Allen isn't an exception. His ...

Vanity Fair (2004) (Widescreen)

Reese Witherspoon, Romola Garai

Universal Studios, 2005

Wonderful period piece
I liked the movie alot. I love period movies and this is the third on my list.

Amazing Grace

Ioan Gruffudd, Romola Garai

20th Century Fox, 2007

Amazing Grace (DVD)
I was hoping to see more of John Newton, the author of "Amazing Grace," in the movie, but other than that it was all I expected. It took a few minutes to sort all the characters into their place in the scheme of the movie. The struggles of William Wiberforce to end ...

The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant

Tony Martin, Sam Neill

Timeless Media Group, 2007

The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant
Great movie! Combined suspense, a love story, history and just a little humor thrown in for good measure. The acting was great-made it thoroughly believable and the period costumes, ships, backdrops, etc. felt authentic. Never felt "bogged down" - it moved right ...

Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights

Diego Luna, Romola Garai

Lions Gate, 2004

Hello Havana!!!!
I personal own this movie, and WOW. The dancing is very good,I recomend it very much. I haver personaly met Patrick Swazye, and YES he does dance that good in person. If you like dancing, any style this movie should be in your collection of "dance" movies. I think Sela ...

Rory O'Shea Was Here

James McAvoy, Romola Garai

Universal Studios, 2005

Top Notch!
I'm sure all of the other reviews sum up what the movie is about, and extremely well at that. I only had to read one in order to buy the movie, and now I have to add my own 5 stars to the list. I work in a long term care facility, and the movie shows how easy it is for ...

Renaissance

Daniel Craig, Patrick Floersheim

Miramax, 2007

Love child of many illustrious predecessors
This has got to be one of the best animated films I've seen recently, along with Persepolis. The black and white (no gray) visuals are extremely intriguing. You also get an engaging, if not entirely original, storyline. The animation style is in the Western mold, ...

Daniel Deronda

Hugh Dancy, Romola Garai

BBC Warner, 2007

Some Viewers apparently didn't get it
To judge by the majority of Amazon reviews, Daniel Deronda was seriously appreciated much more than not, which is certainly as it should be. On the ImdB, however, there are some opinions, mostly about the ultimate developments of the story, which I find disturbing. ...

The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant

Romola Garai, Jack Davenport

Mti Home Video, 2007

The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant
Romola Garai is a wonderful actress. I can't believe she isn't a huge star. I love Alex O'Loughlin also. He is an excellent actor as well as being cute and sexy. The story line was interesting and held your interest.

Dirty Dancing / Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights

Mika Boorem, Wilmer Cordero

Lions Gate, 2005

Pretty good.....
I think this is a decent movie, it is NOT a spin-off of the original Dirty Dancing. It is based on a true story. Has some good dancing and good new actors.....Patrick Swayze does have a small role in the film and the lady whose story it is based on has a cameo ...

Steven Robertson, Alan King (II)

Top Notch!

Stella Gonet, Andrew Havill
