Movie Review: The Three Musketeers starring Matthew Macfadyen, Orlando Bloom and Christoph Waltz

by Sandra Scholes 12.09.2011

Reviewed by Sandra Scholes As a movie this is going over pretty much the same territory as the others. There have been several movie interpretations of Alexandre Dumas’s historical novel. Everyone has a favourite whether it is the 70′s version or the 90′s one. In this 2011 version the director has got certain members of [...]

Movie Review: Ever After starring Drew Barrymore, Dougray Scott, and Anjelica Huston

by Keira 10.03.2011

Ever After has been one of my all time favorite romantic comedies. Drew Barrymore is at her best in this Cinderella spinoff (the first of a long string that soon followed.) Her prince is played by Dougray Scott, a very handsome devil that captures the sulky spoiled regent character very well. This movie is one [...]

Movie Review: My Life in Ruins starring Nia Vardalos, Richard Dreyfuss, and Alexis Georgoulis

by Keira 08.19.2011

Wow, another movie that was totally trashed by reviewers is yet another one I really enjoyed watching. I think My Life in Ruins is a smash. It uses stereotypes to make everything appear awful at first and then slowly unravels the truth beneath the façade. You have obnoxious American tourists, an old lady that steals [...]

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)

by Sandra Scholes 08.17.2011

by Sandra Scholes, guest reviewer I know it’s kind of clichéd, but it’s true. If you go see any movie this year, let it be this one. It’s not one to let you down, and it’s worth you sitting down and watching the other movies in the series first. Other than Star Wars and Pirates [...]

Movie Review: Sense and Sensibility Miniseries (BBC TV 2008)

by Keira 08.14.2011

I’ve always been a fan of the Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant, and Alan Rickman version of Sense & Sensibility, but I must say this new miniseries has quite blown my mind. It’s wonderful, sumptuous, superbly acted adaptation. Andrew Davies did a fabulous job with the screenplay. We all know the story behind Sense [...]

Movie Review: Lost in Austen starring Jemima Rooper and Elliot Cowan

by Keira 07.19.2011

This three hour BBC miniseries is just precious. It’s lighthearted, humorous, and perfect. Pride and Prejudice is revisited and reintroduced. Lost in Austen pays homage to Jane Austen’s original masterpiece while reinventing it. My friend, who is not a Pride and Prejudice fan—blasphemous I know!—loved this film. My other friend, who is a huge fan [...]

Movie Review: Red Riding Hood starring Gary Oldman, Julie Christie and Virginia Madsen

by Sandra Scholes 07.17.2011

by Sandra Scholes, guest reviewer Remember the fairy tale? We all do, this movie is loosely based on it, and starts with two friends Valerie and Peter in the depths of a forest. They find a rabbit thinking it will feed them well over the winter months; but neither of them can kill it. Ten [...]
