First, I want to say that some time ago I learned to distrust critics
and instead read the reviews here on IMDb. I've never been misled, even
when an equal number of viewers liked and disliked the same movie
because that let me know there was a matter of taste in play, and
that's fine. Sometimes a movie pleases everyone, but that's so rare I
cant really think of one...

Almost from the word go this film is poor and lacking conviction but
then again most people would struggle to show commitment to a script as
uninspiring as this. The dialogue really does not flow and sometimes as
in this case more is less (or should have been). This is also backed-up
by odd scenes (e.g. the Cemetry slow-motion walk) that you think might
lead somewhere but only ...

I saw this film on December 17th, 2006 in Indianapolis. I am one of the
judges for the Heartland Film Festival's Truly Moving Picture Award. A
Truly Moving Picture "…explores the human journey by artistically
expressing hope and respect for the positive values of life." Heartland

This 2003 Masterpiece Theatre version of "Pollyanna" is the ultimate
feel-good movie and because it is a bit less sappy than the 1960 Disney
version you can enjoy repeated viewings anytime you need some cheering
up. The new version is also more faithful to Eleanor Porter's original
1913 story and more focused on characterization than on elaborate set
design and visual dynamics ...

How many viewers of "I Capture the Castle" have a legal background and
understand the humor underlying the family name of the central characters,
"Mortmain?" Literally, "mortmain" means "Dead Hand" and in law it denotes
the attempt of a person to control his property postmortem. The humor here
is that the paterfamilias, James Mortmain (well played by Bill Nighy) is a

This (perhaps superfluous) version of the Edith Nesbit novel was made
for TV and, in an interesting piece of casting, had Jenny Agutter as
the mother – she had been eldest daughter Bobbie thirty years earlier.
Some changes to the fabric of the story were inevitable: more screen
time is given to the events which cause the children's father to be
arrested; the paper chase is...

that the artistes had to entertain ...
