"It's time for a follow-up appointment at McNamara-Troy, Florida's hottest--and most dysfunctional--plastic surgery center, and the setting for the controversial television drama Nip/Tuck, which gives audiences a peek into the professional and private lives of two driven doctors and their (mostly female) patients. If the first season had its share of shocking visuals and storylines, viewers should probably strap themselves into their eas ..."
"Wer das definitive Drama über den amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieg sucht, sollte dies vielleicht woanders tun. Dennoch ist Der Patriot überdurchschnittliche Mainstream-Unterhaltung der respektablen Art. Nach großen Spezialeffekt-Schlachten wie Stargate, Independence Day und Godzilla hat Regisseur Roland Emmerich die Welt des Science Fiction-Genres verlassen und in herrlichen, von Starkameramann Caleb Deschanel festgehaltenen Bildern, ..."
"Season OneBeauty the saying goes is only skin deep. The beauty of Nip/Tuck is that it goes deeper laying bear the complexities and fragile natures often found in patients seeking cosmetic surgery. Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon portray hotshot Miami South Beach plastic surgeons who are themselves in full-blown midlife crises as they confront career family and romance problems. The series' cutting-edge stories range from funny to suspens ..."
"Two Lifetime movies based on true events explore the rags-to-riches lives of women on the edge. In Widow on the Hill, Natasha Henstridge (Species) stars as a nurse who cares for a dying woman, marries the rich widower (James Brolin)... and ultimately faces charges of poisoning him. Did she take a shortcut on her scandalous road from rags to riches? In Lies My Mother Told Me, Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck) plays a con artist who changes ide ..."
"Based on the book by Catherine Heath. the 1989 four-part British miniseries Behaving Badly is not to be confused with the Britcom, Men Behaving Badly. Judi Dench, as ever, commands the screen in her BAFTA-nominated performance as middle-aged Bridget Mayor, who, like Jill Clayburgh's character in An Unmarried Woman, is initially shattered, but gets a new lease on life after her husband of two decades (Ronald Pickup, Fortunes of War) anno ..."

"LADY CHATTERLEY Lady Constance Chatterley (Joely Richardson, „Nip/Tuck - Schönheit hat ihren Preis“) zieht mit ihrem Ehemann Clifford (James Wilby, „Gosford Park“) auf dessen Familienanwesen. Da ihr Gatte während einer Schlacht im Ersten Weltkrieg verletzt wurde, führt Constance ein recht freudloses Leben, was ihre körperlichen Bedürfnisse angeht. Dies treibt sie schließlich in die Arme von Oliver Mellors (Sean Bean, „Der Herr der ..."
"Like the movie itself, there's little in the supplementary materials for The Patriot that requires more than one viewing, but they're interesting while they last. "The Art of War" featurette purports to be a study of the film's elaborate battle logistics, but it offers only a cursory appreciation of sequence planning and stunt work. The "True Patriots" featurette is much better, examining the painstaking efforts toward authenticity in p ..."
"It's hard to know who thought it would be a good idea to make a live-action version of Disney's animated classic. The one bright notion anyone had was casting Glenn Close as Disney Übervillainess Cruella de Vil; her flashing eyes and angular features are a perfect match and do credit to what is one of the most indelible animated characters Disney has ever created. The story remains essentially the same, focusing on Cruella's plot to kid ..."
"Après le semi-échec de Godzilla, tout le monde attendait Roland Emmerich. La nature du film, une grande fresque historique, et la présence de Mel Gibson, auréolé du succès de Braveheart, avaient même fait naître quelques espérances. C'était oublier qu'Emmerich, malgré (ou à cause de) ses origines allemandes, est le plus nationaliste des cinéastes en activité à Hollywood. The Patriot ne manque certes pas de rythme, mais les incohé ..."

"It's hard to know who thought it would be a good idea to make a live-action version of Disney's animated classic, 101 Dalmatians (and originally Dodie Smith's classic children's story). The one bright notion anyone had was casting Glenn Close as Disney Übervillainess Cruella de Vil; her flashing eyes and angular features are a perfect match and do credit to what is one of the most indelible animated characters Disney has ever created.

"Although the concept sounds like something out of MTV hell--Henry James's The Wings of the Dove flies into the Seattle grunge scene--writer-director Meg Richman has fashioned a stunning and assured debut out of this modern-day reworking of the 1902 novel. Whereas Iain Softley's 1997 adaptation tried for something like Edwardian film noir, Richman opts for a take that may skimp on costumes but is far more lush on an emotional scale. Ric ..."
