VHS : James And The Giant Peach [1996]
Watched this a few years back but couldn't get on with the animation style. It was bought as a present for my 4yo who loves it. On re-watching I didn't have the same animation prejudice simply because Tim Burton has made it more 'acceptable'. Shallow of me I know but there you go.
The Aunts are fantastic in the 'real-life' section although I couldn't get on with the boy. Pete Postlethwaite still gives me the creeps (although that's from the Sharpe TV series rather than this film).
In the animated section the bugs are all pretty good and the boy gets better.
The songs are OK but I didn't find them particularly catchy.

This is such a classic film which I have loved since my early childhood. The characters are amazing and the soundtrack will stay with you for years to come. A family favorite for both halloween and christmas and any other occassion!

There are plenty of customer reviews of this superb film already - wonderful acting by all the cast; great directing and a deft adaptation, though it takes liberties with Updike's novel. An absolute classic which is great fun to watch again and again.

My gripe, here, is with the print of the Warner Home Video DVD. Poor picture quality, particularly in the first half hour, is a huge disappointment. And the sound is not that good, either. The age of the film is no excuse. I watched, the day before, an immaculate and sparkling print of the Bette Davis classic NOW VOYAGER, so if a 1940s movie can look that good, Warners should have done better with this 1987 film.

This happens time and again with a good many DVDs. Often ... Read More:

VHS : Dead Man Walking [1996]
I really love execution films and this is one of the very best, probably only behind The Green Mile in my opinion.

Susan Sarandon quite rightly won an Academy award for her performance in this film and after just watching Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas, I simply can not believe that Sean Penn did not join her in picking up the award himself, they are both simply breathtaking, showing a very wide range of all-round acting skills.

This is much more about the convict (Sean Penn) going through various stages as his time of execution approaches, from anger, to sorrow and acceptance of the the punishment he faces due to the crime that he committed.

It also highlights the injustice of the American system, money can buy jail time, ... Read More:

VHS : Little Women [1995]
First things first - watch it at all costs if only for a young Kirsten Dunst. I can't imagine a better Amy and whenever I go back to the book I always imagine her in the part. Full of life, adorable and hilarious. There's a bit I just love, where Jo says "Stop sulking, Amy, you look like a pigeon", and Amy leans back, rolls her eyes and gives a sulky couple of 'coo's. Sadly, she gets cut two thirds of the way through for a 'grown-up' Amy, who is all right but nothing to write home about.

I wanted to like it, but the film as a whole is pretty flawed. The pace is monotonous and some of the best scenes of the book are cut and replaced with dull dialogue. Because the film is of both Little Women books, a lot of character development is cut and so the first ... Read More:

...for the typical loveable rogue.
Alfie, on the surface he's a red blooded male, taking anything and everything he can get,
then moving on to find the next conquest.Underneath the cool exterior though,
in plain sight for us viewers to see, lies a person who regrets the way he is.
By the end of the film you love the guy and want him to live happily ever after, but will he...?
