Apart from having the longest reign in British history (63 years),
Queen Victoria also holds two other distinctions. She was, apart from
our current Queen, the oldest ever British monarch, living to the age
of 81. And she was also the youngest ever British (as opposed to
English or Scottish) monarch, coming to the throne as a girl of
eighteen. And yet whenever television or the...

Perrier's Bounty is a gangster flick packed full of fantastic actors
like Jim Broadbent . Brendan Gleeson and Cillian Murphy so why has
nobody heard of it? I'm not totally sure why this passed everyone by
when it was released in May because it's a pretty decent film. It has
plenty of action , it full of humour and Broadbent and Gleeson are on
top of their game. T...

the furthest from the books. If you are a fan of the books, this is for

Sorry, but after reading all this negative comments, I like to give you
my thoughts on this. When I walked out of the movie I was not really
satisfied, because some things bothers me, like the monkey-rope scene
and some other ridiculous and illogical things. But, then I remembered
scenes from the first three movies, like jumping out of a plane with a
rubber boat and then bob ru...

My last recollection of my father was the look on his face after I
placed him in a nursing home in Miami, Florida. Wracked by Parkinson's
disease and heart trouble, I was saddened by how far removed he was
from the authoritarian and emotionally distant man I feared when I was
young, yet a lifetime of resentment could not be entirely forgotten.
Indeed, in our society the pre...

certain battles being 'made to measure' for the camera, and it becomes
even more absurd when you realize that this is actually a true story.

Gangs of New York is just perfect entertainment. It is an enthralling,
bloody, melodramatic epic that more than justifies its two and one half hour

organized crime milieu of Goodfellas, Scorsese ventures back to the 19th

As a huge fan of the books, I had incredibly high expectations of the movie.
In order for the movie to work for me, it had to capture Bridget's
plucky-heroine character and the hilarious-poignant emotions that are in the
book. Needless to say, `Bridget Jones's Diary' the movie worked very, very,
very well. Although Helen Fielding also wrote the screenplay (w/ Richard

Brazil(in its proper form) is a long film at well over two hours, it has
