This half of the series is brilliant. There are a couple of fun but silly episodes, but these are compensated for with episodes like Passion, I Only Have Eyes For You, Becoming (parts 1 and 2), Surprise and Innocence. This series is definately worth buying if you are a Buffy fan.
Brings back great memories watching this as a kid on rainy days, and it appeals to the new generation as its timeless, fantastic for new and old!
The only knock back is that no-one has had the sense to re-release on DVD, how many of us still have VCR's?
Clever Parisian lawyer moves to the country to bring law to the people, but finds himself outsmarted by simple country folk at every turn. Of course he decides that if you can't beat them, join them - especially when he finds himself defending a pig on a charge of murder. In a world where a man and a donkey are prepared for execution and the donkey gets a reprieve and the man doesn't, what would you do? In the end he unwittingly makes a lucky escape and the "smart" folk don't. Good clean fun - except for the dirt and squalor - with a memorable turn from Ian Holm as a less-than-upright priest.
I love the Prisoner of Azkaban.I totally don't have anything I don't like about it. My favourite bit is when Marge blew up like a great big balloon .Hagrids garden has changed in the Prisoner of Azkaban. I'm aged 7 (seven)
This film has a very similar feel to the first movie. It moves at a similar pace and the story is just as mediocre. Its not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination, in fact, when in a certain mood I can happily watch this movie and enjoy it. However, just like the first film, it is nothing special but just about keeps you interested enough to watch the next installment. I like fantasy and escapism movies and although this is not as good as the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy or as funny as 'stardust' ... it is still better than others such as the terrible Eragorn.
If you like the first film, even just a little, you should like this aswell. Slightly above average movie.
Kevin Costner has always been one of those actors you either love or hate, much like the singing and celebrity of Victoria Beckham or Marmite.
It is unfortunate then, that it is these personal feelings which cloud judgement about whether or not to see a film. Because, in a time when the idea of race relations is once again at the forefront of the news, this simple story of a man open to change can tell us a lot.
Lt John Dunbar (Coster) is a civil war hero. Given the choice of outpost as a reward for a selfless act on the battlefield, he picks the furthest place he can find, the prairee. Also known as Indian country.
Far from being the war-mongering madmen his superiors are presented as, Dunbar is a quiet, docile man, eager to learn and thoughtful. He writes a diary, in which he places great importance, and when his Indian neighbours first show up, he is scared but also intrigued.
What follows over the next three hours is a beautiful, poetic story of friendship, love and honour amongst men. Costner, in his directorial debut paints a wonderful canvass, rich in colour and tone. Characters are well fleshed out, and all given a story perhaps worthy of a film of their own. He presents the Indians not as hostile, but as a simple, spirtitual people, oppressed and scared.
Dances With Wolves is a rarity. Its beauty and story have rarely been matched in silver screen history, and despite what may have been said, it is my opinion that its Best Film Oscar was well deserved.
I can't say this clearly enough - see this movie.
I have just ordered the DVD, but the video is excellent! It really does work. You must follow the work out and use it regularly, every day if you can for three months, then as you can. At least three times per week. Every day revitalizes you with energy, you lose inches, and gain shape. Very, very good with Radu.
1: Tom Baker is excellent as the deranged Xoanon
2: Louise makes a brilliant entrance as Leela
3: The horda are cute.
4: The tesh are gits, but likeable ones, with their arm flapping!
5: Tom is great as ever as the Doc too.
6: The tribe have more developed characters than usual.
7: Great comic moments, especially how Leela runs into the TARDIS despite the Doc not really wanting to take her.
8: We for once get a sizeable chunk of story to see whats happened after the enemy has been thwarted, which is a nice change.
9: the staue looks impressive.
10: Good actual 25 min eps for a change!
Need I go on?
The story of how Gladys Aylward went from parlour maid to heroic missionary in 1940s China is well known, but the film bears watching time and again. There are outstanding performances by Robert Donat as the Mandarin - seriously ill, this was his last film - and of course the wonderful Ingrid Bergman, ably supported by Curt Jurgens as the army colonel. Other fine assets are the script by Alan Burgess, who wrote the original book, "The Small Woman", Freddie Young's sweeping cinematography (you would hardly believe it was made in the Welsh mountains, not China) and Malcolm Arnold's stirring musical score, including the famous children's marching theme and "Knick-knack" song.
All in all a beautiful film, emotional but not sentimental, uplifting and inspiring.
