1.Bridget Jones's Diary [2001] starring: Renee Zellweger, Honor Blackman, Embeth Davidtz, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant directed by: Sharon Maguire December 20, 2004

The story of Bridget Jones first began as a diary collumn in a newspaper, rose to success in book form (then it's sequel) and then finally hit the movies in 2001 with Briget played quite perfectly by the lovely Renee Zellwegger. This modern take on Pride and Predjudice follows the female protagonist Briget Jones who decides to keep a diary of her life; unlike the Mary-Jane all too perfect characters in most stories and movies of today, Bridget is quite literally EVERY woman you've ever known. Bridget is a 30-something urban singleton on the look for love - perhaps in the wrong places. She's an ever so slightly overweight (Zellwegger put on weight specifically for the movie) office worker who reads self-help books ... Read More:

Before I begin may I just compliment Amazon for it's amazing service. Not only is this dvd fantastic value (being four movies for £4.98) Amazon also had it shipped to me here in Ireland within two days. So if you're one of those people who used to be like me and afraid of online shopping I urge you take the chance and start today. You won't be disappointed. Well what can I say about these adaptations. Fantastic isn't the word. I, myself am a fan of Shakespeare but had never read any of the plays in this series but I am definitely putting it on my list of things to do following this exceptional series, which certainly proved that it is possible to take well-loved stories and make them relevant in the 21st century.

3.Trainspotting: The Definitive Edition [DTS] [1996] starring: Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd, Robert Carlyle directed by: Danny Boyle June 16, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £10.50
as someone from Edinburgh who lived and went to plenty of the places mentioned in Trainspotting i have to say read the book the book instead which has the full content and message rather than just a comic short hand for what was happening at the time. It made fashionista fools think that taking hard drugs was a nice activity and gave them kudos and brought in too many people too Edinburgh looking for that lifestyle. I have never managed it all the way through and think it is just an alternative advert for Britain for the naively trendy or people who misguided enough to think that the pathos and dark humor wasn't there to balance the story...great cast though and on the whole well acted but an overrated footnote to late 90's Britain

4.24 Hour Party People - Single Disc Edition [2002] starring: Steve Coogan, John Thomson, Nigel Pivaro, Lennie James, Shirley Henderson directed by: Michael Winterbottom July 19, 2004

If you want a detailed, telling story of Factory Records, get Shadowplayers. This film is 'a truth based on lies'. It is almost pure myth feeding. The bits of facts thrown in, are literally thrown in, they're not built into the script, they're simply blurted out at a convinient moment. The omition of New Order is simply unforgivable. You cannot tell the story of Factory Records without putting some detail into New Order, without whom Factory would have sunk without a trace very quickly. Other important bands of the era don't even get a mention, but these are understandable, the Smiths and the Stone Roses for example were not on Factory, and this is the story of Factory. The film is not a boiling pot of laughter, there are moments that will split your sides, ... Read More:

This film was alot better than I believed it was going to be. The film was very different to any Teen film I have seen before. This film was very colourful and had a new romantic style and feel to it as this was what the directer was aiming for. The settings and costumes were amazing also. Its got everything you could want in a film, its funny but still has that depth of seriousness, its sad in parts and its sexy. I think that it's the type of film that you either love or hate but its a must see movie!

If I remember anything about writing composition at primary school it's this, never use the "it was all just a dream" scenario. OK, you realise when you see Kelly fantasising about strangling her mother with her rosary that the opening sequence is just a violent fantasy or dream and you realise that there isn't enough running time left for the ending to tie up with the beginning but even so it was disappointing. Irvine Welsh's writing reminds me of the old nursery rhyme. When he's good (Trainspotting, Glue, Porno) he's very very good but when he's bad (Ecstasy, Filth) he's awful. So, what to make of "Wedding Belles"? There's enough classic Welsh to make it darkly funny and very watchable but..........(there's always a but.) In my opinion Welsh isn't great at portraying ...

8.Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day [2008] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Amy Adams (III), David Alexander (IV), Clare Clifford, Christina Cole, Stephanie Cole directed by: Bharat Nalluri August 19, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £23.48
Miss Pettigrew (Frances McDormand) is the governess of last resort. No, that doesn't mean she turns naughty children around. In fact, she doesn't seem to be able to keep a job. Fired from her last job, she literally has nothing. And her employment agency is tired of trying to find her jobs. After all, jobs are scarce in 1930's London. Desperate, Miss Pettigrew takes the address of a client, a Delysia Lafoose (Amy Adams). When Miss Pettigrew arrives at the address, she finds Delysia in crisis. While saving the day, Miss Pettigrew learns that Delysia isn't looking for a governess but a social secretary because they are fashionable. And Delysia definitely needs help sorting out her life. She's a singer who wants to become an actress. But she's having huge man problems. Specifically, ... Read More:

A selection of familiar faces from British TV comedy led by Steve Cougan play fictional versions of themselves, making a movie from a famous novel with tedious results. Features a lot of rushing around talking garbage and screaming from a lady pretending to be pregnant. Worst film I've seen in a long time.

10.The Way We Live Now [2001] starring: David Suchet, Cillian Murphy, Matthew MacFadyen, Paloma Baeza, Shirley Henderson October 02, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £24.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £17.98 You Save: £7.01 (28%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £17.90
I don't understand the poor reviews. I've read the novel many times (it's one I'd take to my desert island), and yes, a lot has been left out, but the performances of David Suchet and Shirley Henderson alone make this a 5* in my opinion. Outstanding, both of them, and Matthew McFadyen was also excellent as Sir Felix.
