"Firmly in the spirit of the late 90s wave of British crime films, Beautiful Creatures stars Rachel Weisz and Susan Lynch as two young Glasgow women united against their brutally abusive boyfriends. With a corpse in the bathroom, a golf bag with a secret and seedy detective on their trail Dorothy (Lynch) and Petula (Weisz) hatch an ill-conceived fake kidnapping as their passport from an impossible situation. The film is an entertaining 8 ..."

"Treachery. Romance. Rebellion. A classic adventure story for all ages. Robert Louis Stevenson's coming-of-age adventure is back--and breathtaking--in this widely heralded Masterpiece Theatre presentation bursting with scoundrels, and scallywags, villains and heroines, and two memorable heroes who will stop at nothing in their quest for justice. Attempting to claim his rightful inheritance from his eccentric Uncle Ebenezer, young Dav ..."
"Like the video game series it's based on, Tomb Raider is best enjoyed for its physical strategies, since even casual scrutiny of story details will induce a headache. It's more concerned with puzzles than plot, populated with characters that don't have personalities so much as attitudes. It's silly and somber at the same time, but as a franchise vehicle for Angelina Jolie in the title role of relic hunter Lara Croft, this is packaged en ..."
"Helen Mirren (Prime Suspect The Clearing) stars in this compelling murder-mystery set amid the murky underworld of illegal art trade.Maggie Sheridan (Mirren) once one of the most famous blues voices of her generation lost decades of her life to drinking and hard-living. After a failed suicide attempt she was taken in by Sir Charles Stafford (Iain Cuthbertson Antonia and Jane) and his son Sebastian (Iain Glen Tomb Raider). She has lived ..."

Le Fanu stars Naomi Watts as a young woman, orphaned as a child, who was raised by kindly squire Derek Jacobi. But there's something sinister beneath Jacobi's amiable demeanor, and Watts flees the estate with his son Iain Glen and later weds him. Their marriage, however, turns horrific when they're overwhelmed by unsettling incidents in th ..."

"Not so much a feminist twist on the bloody British gangster thriller as a vision of innocents in thugland, Beautiful Creatures offers a pair of birds at the center of this traditionally bloke-driven genre. Think of it as Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels by way of Bound. Susan Lynch and Rachel Weisz are Dorothy and Petula, gangster girlfriends desperate to escape the Scottish underworld of scumbags, violent gang bosses, and corr ..."
"Helen Mirren fans will delight in this 1997 Brit-mystery TV film (originally a miniseries) that reportedly was written expressly for her by its writer, Allan Cubitt. Painted Lady equal parts a character study of a remarkable woman (faded blues singer Maggie Sheridan, played by Mirren) and an enthralling murder mystery involving the European art underworld. And a grisly world that is. Mirren’s reclusive Sheridan has taken up residence at ..."

"An exclusive hotel on a tiny picturesque island seems to be the ideal retreat for Hercule Poirot from the stresses of criminal detection. But with the appearance of the beautiful Arlena Stuart, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere becomes charged with an indefinable erotic tension. And when she is found viciously strangled in a secluded cove, there are few, especially among the women, who seem to feel either surprise or regret. As Poirot f ..."
Samson Agonistes(Unabridged) by John Milton, IainGlen, Et Al., directed by John Tydeman Audio, 1 Pages, Published 2014 by Naxos Audiobooks Audiobook, Cd, Unabridged ISBN-13: 978-1-84379-802-6, ISBN: 1-84379-802-6
"Samson Agonistes, the 'dramatic poem' by John Milton, was published in 1671, three years before the poet's death. Written in the form of a Greek tragedy, with the Chorus commenting on the action, it follows the biblical story of the blind Samson as he wreaks his revenge on the Philistines who have imprisoned him. A powerful subject, with a personal resonance for the blind Milton, it is a perfect work for the medium of audiobook where po ..."
"How did Bob Rafelson, the director of small-scale American studies such as Five Easy Pieces and The King of Marvin Gardens, find himself helming an old-fashioned adventure story such as Mountains of the Moon? Whatever the reasons, Rafelson invested this 1990 epic with passion and professionalism. The hero is one of the greatest British explorers of the 19th century, Sir Richard Burton (played by Patrick Bergin), a fascinating figure and ..."
