This is so good. Very reminiscent of John Clarke's "The Games" about Sydney 2000.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Marg
What a waste of talented people. This is a "don't bother" film. No stars
(Don't bother!) - review by Marg
Great thriller. All of the episodes-three in total are all on Disc 1.
Disc 2 is Behind the scenes and 3 very short films about people with Alzheimers
(Excellent) - review by Marg
All the three episodes are on Disc 1. This dvd is 'behind the scenes' and 3 short films about people with Alzheimers.
(Maybe) - review by Marg
Don't bother, dreadful script, woeful acting.
(Don't bother!) - review by Marg
Very good innovative BBC series. Working backwards with certain clues the team need to work out how or what to prevent a crime or change the future.
(Excellent) - review by Marg
Not as good as the "Sopranos" but it's pretty close!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Marg

Funny, action packed 'tongue-in cheek' movie with a great cast.

The money must have been good for them to do this rubbish

Amazing and sometimes tragic story of a black girl born to white Afrikaaners apparently due to a "genetic throw-back' during the Apartheid era.
(Excellent) - review by Marg
Don't bother- it's sleazy and demeaning.
(Don't bother!) - review by Marg
Don't bother. The only redeeming feature is Amy Adams singing.
(Don't bother!) - review by Marg
Very good, but a bit hard to watch towards the end.
(Excellent) - review by Marg
This is a gloriously funny movie about a band of musical misfits who impersonate the Bolshoi Orchestra on a trip to Paris. The music of Tchaikovsky is wonderful.
(Excellent) - review by Marg
What a hoot this is- the Poms on an "all inclusive" holiday abroad written as only the Poms can!!
Looking forward to the next series.

This is the sort of movie you would watch with your kids/grandkids and you would enjoy it as well.

Love Martin Clunes- hated this- don't bother.
(Don't bother!) - review by Marg
Absolute drivel. It lasted less than 10 minutes.
(Don't bother!) - review by Marg
This was a NTSC disc and I was able to play this. Not too bad but Michael Douglas's makeup was very orange or else he'd had too much fake tan!
(Maybe) - review by Marg
Loved it, loved it, Loved it. Meryl Streep is phenomenal and the rest of the cast isn't bad either!
(Excellent) - review by Marg
Interesting , but it certainly doesn't inspire me to buy it.
(Worth watching) - review by Marg
Brilliant series- edge of your seat stuff!

This second series promises to be just as good as Series 1

Glorious- loved the bird. I thought Mr Frederickson looked like Spencer Tracey- wonder if this was intentional?
(Not to be missed!) - review by Marg
Exciting series about an FBI agent who has infiltrated a terrorist group.
(Excellent) - review by Marg
If you like comedy and adventure in music, you'll love this. "The Swan"played by the alpine cow bells is a gem.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Marg
A most profound and very moving film
(Excellent) - review by Marg
Absolute rubbish. Didn't get past 10 minutes!
(Don't bother!) - review by Marg
Another not so great drama from the usually very good Lynda la Plante.
(Maybe) - review by Marg
Very disappointing drama let down by the acting and not so good direction. I normally love Lynda la Plante's stories but this was a big let down.
(Maybe) - review by Marg
Have just seen the "Jersey Boys"- now here's the real thing. Great concert.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Marg
Hated the movie but Anne Hathaway was great.
(Maybe) - review by Marg
There was two stories on this dvd. 1st one- "Absolute Hell" I didn't enjoy, but the 2nd one "Can You Hear me Thinking" starred Dame Judi with her husband Michael Williams as a couple trying to cope with the worsening mental illness of their eldest son.
(Excellent) - review by Marg
I found this film profoundly moving. Kate Winslet very deserving of her Oscar win.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Marg
Absolute powerhouse performance from Meryl Streep. The others weren't too bad either!
(Excellent) - review by Marg
Kristin Scott Thomas's role in this movie was nothing short of brilliant.

I just loved this Irish film set in a retirement home and the four cantankerous but delighful residents who stay behind at Christmas and the girl left in charge of them. Great cast.
(Excellent) - review by Marg
Very funny comedy set in Northern Ireland
(Worth watching) - review by Marg
Started off very well but seemed to get very complicated. But still worth a look.
(Worth watching) - review by Marg
I watched this for the second time and loved it this time around. The cast looked like they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski and Julie Walters were fantastic. The boys weren't too bad either but Pierce Brosnan should stick to acting only.
(Excellent) - review by Marg
A less than average "chick flick". Please don't bother!
(Don't bother!) - review by Marg
Another compelling documentary. See it at the same time as "Standard Operating Procedure"
(Excellent) - review by Marg
Utterly compelling documentary told by the people who were there and the attempted cover up.

Fairly average but Ledger's performance got it through

It was ok. The dog was the best part.
(Maybe) - review by Marg
OK for a bit of fun. Agree that the Aussie actors and the American accents pretty poor along with Aussie Los Angeles! Judy Davis is her usually brilliant self.

I was really looking forward to seeing this film after reading the book, but am afraid it doesn't even come close. The impact is lost in translation.

Didn't think much of the script, Tom Cruise was forgettable but the sound and special effects were great.

Intriguing plot, improbable story (or is it) but ultimately enjoyable once you've figured it out.

Jennifer Hudson stole the show. She was about the best thing going in it.

unfortunately the dvd I received was of the recent tv movie filmed in 2005 instead of the mini series of 1987.But it was one not to be missed. I had already bought it from overseas- it was that good.

Once you have all the characters sorted out - great movie. Concentration is needed!

unfortunately, the synopsis, cast and crew notes that came with this dvd were for "United 93" which has not been released on dvd yet only in the cinemas.
This production is the "made for TV" version. Otherwise very well done.

Bill Murray is at his deadpan best. Frustrating ending though. Is he or isn't he?----
