VHS : The Joy Luck Club
This film, initially discovered part-way through on a rare French TV showing, must certainly rank as one of my favourites. It is one that I can watch over and over again without feeling bored. Everything is great in this film - the actresses, young, old and even the small children, the beautiful scenery, the emotions, a few comic moments to relieve the tension and definitely not least, the wonderful music. The final scene never fails to start a tear welling in my eye. I don't know if it is a faithful representation of the book which inspired it, but it stands up on its own two feet as a marvellous piece of cinema. I would certainly recommend it.

VHS : Come See The Paradise [1990]
This is one of the best true love stories you could ever see on film. It follows an Irish immigrant to America (Dennis Quaid) who gets involved a little to deeply in politics, and then tries to leave it all behind to live a normal life. He meets a Japanese girl called Lillie and they quickly fall in love. It's love at first sight for Jack and they run off to get married (her family does not approve)

The film then charts their young lives during a terrible period for all japanese families living in America, when Pearl Harbour was attacked!

Not to spoil what happens, but the lovers are separated and there is eventually a happy ending.

I love this film so much, I think Dennis Quaid is a brilliant leading man anyway but ... Read More:

VHS : Babylon 5 - Pilot [1993]
Babylon 5 is one of my all-time favourite shows and although this pilot episode for the series is nowhere near as good as the show itself, it is still enjoyable. As the alien ambassadors gather on Babylon 5 the Vorlon representative Kosh is the target of an assassination attempt and the stations commander Jeffrey Sinclair is implicated.

Although not nearly as good as the series itself, this pilot does include some of the things that made Babylon 5 so good, such as an interesting plot and generally good writing. On the downside much of the CGI effects used here are rather poor and some of the acting on display is truly atrocious. There are a few changes between here and the series proper, with three of the characters being replaced and some ... Read More:
