1.The Last September [2000] starring: Michael Gambon, Tom Hickey, Keeley Hawes, David Tennant, Richard Roxburgh directed by: Deborah Warner December 04, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £19.99
This is a bit of a gem really if you are familiar with the British class system and have a modicum of knowledge of the struggles engulfing Britain around the turn of the twentieth century. In the film, the concern is primarily for the struggle for Irish independence but there are unspoken undertones of the struggles of women. At first blush this is Doctor Who meets Harry Potter as the main players come on the scene. Seriously though, it is hard towatch this for a while given the proximity of the stars of the movie similar to that of the Potter movies. A bit of a distraction. Maggie Smith has made this sort of role her own and in this I am strongly reminded of her portrayal in Private Function, a film which has many ... Read More:

2.Nothing Personal [1996] starring: Ian Hart, John Lynch, James Frain, Michael Gambon, Gary Lydon directed by: Thaddeus O'Sullivan April 19, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.90
"Nothing Personal" is a film about the darkest days of the Northern Ireland Troubles in the mid 1970's, which even today it is almost taboo to discuss. It was the time of a vicious terrorist campaign by the Provisional IRA ,of no-go areas for the security forces, no- warning bombs, vicious rioting and a cut throat serial killing campaign by loyalist paramilitaries.

Despite the grim,malevolent atmosphere of the film, there are moments of humour and a decent 70's soundtrack featuring some well known hits of the time. The attention to detail is well observed ...

3.Ordinary Decent Criminal [2000] starring: Kevin Spacey, Linda Fiorentino, Peter Mullan, Stephen Dillane, Helen Baxendale directed by: Thaddeus O'Sullivan March 26, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
ah the never ending idea of getting in established actors to play irish people and adapt an accent that makes me ill never ceases to dull my senses but if the film is decent enough then i can learn to move on,with ordinary decent criminals that notion doesnt apply as the film is a howler from start to finish. The film had to be altered at the last minute,the original film was centred around real life crime lord martin cahill,but then the film makers heard that a film about him was already being made,(the general) so the script was altered even if a few similarities remain. The film is devoid of soul and the pace is lazy,i believe there are funny parts in here,they didnt find me,spacey looks uncomfortable here and it is one film that i can ... Read More:
