A nice change from the usual heaviness of period drama's, I really enjoyed this. Very light-hearted and some laugh out loud moments. Colin Firth and Rupert Everett work well together and form a funny double act. I was surprised that I actually liked Reece Witherspoon in this as I usually find her a bit irritating. Another great performance from Judi Dench, what period drama is complete without her! Definately worth a watch.

An Ideal Husband is an 1895 play by Oscar Wilde which revolves around blackmail and political corruption, and touches on the themes of public and private honour. The action is set in London, in "the present", and takes place over the course of three days. "Sooner or later," Wilde notes, "we shall all have to pay for what we do." But he adds that, "No one should be entirely judged by their past. The movie is classy and captures uppper-class London to perfection. The language is wonderful and the lines really amusing like "Women have a wonderful instinct about things. They can discover everything except the obvious" or "Fashion is what one wears oneself. What is unfashionable is what other people wear" or "To love oneself is the beginning ... Read More:

4.Othello [1996] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Laurence Fishburne, Kenneth Branagh, Irène Jacob, Nathaniel Parker, Michael Maloney directed by: Oliver Parker January 18, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £20.19
Branagh acts like Iago is the bloke down the pub everyone would confide in whilst Fishbourne is fantastic as Othello, very moving stuff. A few hollywood-esque fillers in the relationship between Iago and Othello that don't exist in the original text but nonetheless an enjoyable film. Worth comparing alongside Hopkins as Othello in the BBC 1991 version where he plays a far noisier, madder and arguably badder Othello whilst Penelope Wilton as an older Desdemona completely blows away this version of the tragic woman who seemed rather too innocent and school girl like.

Firstly this IS a 1080 presentation: I can easily see the extra resolution on my 52" TV. However it's inconsistent leading me to think that the original master is also variable. The first half of the film is mildly amusing and has 3 or 4 moments of humour that work (much to my surprise) but this is badly let down by the second half. The latter is not awful just bland and insipid with no sparkle or wit. Surely sparkle and wit are the absolute requirement of the finale of a St Trinian's film? Rupert Everett is good and some of the girls try hard but mostly it's a second rate ITV comedy writ large(ish). Certainly not worth the money required to obtain this Blu-Ray version (much to my annoyance).
