After viewing this I wasnt quite sure to rate it good or what, interesting the way the US terrorised the afghans but I thought a bit over the top the way americans were displayed in all of this. Gruesome to say the least, I don't think should be shown especially younger generation
(Worth watching) - review by Brendan
excellent movie, a very quiet person named Everitt who keeeps much to himself comes into contact with a stranger that pulls up in front of his house looking for directions and a perfect, powerful relationship developes, set in majestic mountain scenery, I suggest you watch the rest and see for yourself

I saw this many years ago on the box and loved it then and was great to see it all over again. Pity they don't make another series, full of humour and great acting
(Worth watching) - review by Brendan
A fab movie. I loved very much and was so touching and good story line that portrays a guy who is in love with a guy who has been his friend for so long then to fall in love with a girl and all three of them living as a family unit, all 3 actors blended well. Wished the film had run longer. Very worthwhile.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Brendan
I was looking forward to this movie as it sounded good, but I found it too slow and boring and Im not a fan of Russell Crowe, the other actors were fine but it wasnt so good that I slept through most of it
(Worth watching) - review by Brendan
This movie suited to neurotic women working in the fashion industry. Not for me, it was enough to make me switch dvd off in the first half hour
(Don't bother!) - review by Brendan
one of the best movies with so many twists and turns, one I will have to watch again, keeps you interested right to the end
(Not to be missed!) - review by Brendan
This movie is quite good as it's a mix of races and the mix of drugs and hustling which is the norm these days, i enjoyed, so keep up adding more of same to your library. I'd like to see more of the dark skinned guys in action, and a bit more of that would be good too.(action)
(Excellent) - review by Brendan
This film I enjoyed although it was in world war 2 and killing of the jews throughout was a bit gory, but the 3 brothers were real heroes to get those people/families through the forest and all the dilemmas they pursued. Tremendous acting, a story that kept you on the edge of you seat all the way through.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Brendan
This film is either funny or stupid I thought. Scot was funny to watch but the other two, boring. I cant imagine two gay guys bringing up someone like Scot. I think Scot bought them out in the open. Not something I would care to watch again
(Worth watching) - review by Brendan
Yeah this was a good story well put together, showing typical life of gay people living a closeted life in a small country town. I really loved it and would watch again
(Excellent) - review by Brendan
Well I heard differing reports of this film and I thought it was so terribly slow and wondered if it was ever going to get up or what. The diction was very hard to catch on what was said half the time, so it's not something I would watch again
(Worth watching) - review by Brendan
James Last is a woderful musician, great talent and woderful orchestra that really gets involved. I have a few of his dvd's but not this one, in fact I collected many of his lp's from years ago and I still play them. Excellent!!
(Not to be missed!) - review by Brendan
This is a really good story of Cole Porter, if you love his music, you will appreciate seeing this. Fab! I will hire again
(Not to be missed!) - review by Brendan
I think this movie is great for anyone who likes a bit of humour and good for family viewing, One of the best in this class for light entertainment. The old codgers cracked me up with keeping away salesmen
