Will and Viola - a bard's love story
Review of Shakespeare In Love DVD by markd_uk

Advantages: Excellent Cast, Amusing
Disadvantages: Slightly Weak Plot, Slow To Get Going

...that explores the notion that Shakespeare wasn't that great a writer and was, in fact, simply a lusty man ever in search of a muse - or, in other words, a woman to lay that might, if he's lucky, give him some inspiration for a new play. I kind of like his style, actually. Trying to write "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter," Shakespeare - played by Joseph Fiennes - discovers he's suffering from writer's block, a phenomenon known to many of us ...
...appease both her desire for Shakespeare and the stage itself, Viola takes to the boards as a young boy and plays the part of Romeo in Will's new play. Shakespeare himself discovers quickly that this new muse has, indeed, unlocked his writer's block and he starts to write his new play, helped by the input of his financially depressed theatre owner, Hugh Fennyman (played by Tom Wilkinson) and his lead actor, Ned Alleyn, who ultimately suggests a new ...

Go Tootsie Go (Terrible song)
Review of Tootsie DVD by Phelthew

Advantages: Quite funny
Disadvantages: Too 80s. Doesn't stand up to Mrs. Doubtfire

The cover of this film looks crap and the name sounds crap even the blurb sounded crap but in my quest to watch all movies with Bill Murray I gave it a go. The film is about Michael Doresey (Dustin Hoffman) an out of work actor who is just too good at what he does. He doesn't get on with directors because he finds them stupid and as a result can't get any work. His friend Sandy (Teri Garr) takes him along to an audition with her and Doresey sees ...
...preceding him. He dresses up as a woman and gets the part, immediately becoming a hit. Strangely his character plays a very strong female role. He ad-libs his lines and as a result he ends up making the show alot less sexist and the female cast start looking to him for advice. This leads to poblems as he starts to fall for Julie (Jessica Lange) who has started to look on him as almost a mother figure as well as her father who has his eyes set on ... Read review

Review of Jerry Maguire DVD by Jelboy

Advantages: Drama/comedy -great acting performances
Disadvantages: None. Anybody can watch it. A MUST SEE!!!!!!!

...of a well given mention. Jerry Maguire is perhaps the best film Tom Cruise has starred in. This star studded comedy drama also includes the cast of Cuba Gooding Jr, Rene Zellweger, and Jonathan Lipnicki. I watched this film when I was just 13 years old. Every time I watch it the more it appeals to me with a message. Now i want to spread the word of this cult classic film. Jerry Maguire is a sports agent. After a nervous breakdown he produces a mission ...
...many people as possible. Jerry Maguire received Academy Award nominations and the £50 million budget film has been acclaimed as the 10th best film in the sports genre. Cuba Gooding Jr. received an Oscar for his role as Rod Tidwell. His character is everything that Jerry wants to be, a family man. Jerry talks himself into marriage, taking the hand of René Zellwegers character (Dorothy Boyd). However, this is what leads to the rejuvenation of his ... Read review
