 St Trinians 2 - I do not agree with the other reviews., 2010-02-20
My dad is actually the one who enjoys these kinds of comedies best, like Parent Trap the disney remake, Wild Child, and of course St Trinians. He enjoyed the original St Trinians (i.e. great train robbery) whereas i didn't really get into them. I have always enjoyed the new St Trinians however: they are lighthearted fun and mischief, with a good notorious cast. For goodness' sake, Colin Firth has been willing to do a brilliantly strange part, dating Hugh Grant, who actually looks brilliant as the wickedly fantastic Miss Fritton.
The sequel has a quite straightforward plot unlike many sequels, and the girls do plenty of odd things. The dance scene at the end is brilliant. The girls all exhibit talent and Sarah Harding exhibits restraint as she's already established as a singer and so lets the other girls cover that angle. If anything, I prefer St Trinians' pupils to many of my past classmates!
David Tennant plays quite an individual role, devious and emotive, and handsome as always. If there's another St trinians, I'll be happy to watch it, and will be getting this dvd when it comes out too!

Another brilliant story by Richard Curtis!, 2010-03-05
I live in the US but ordered this from the UK site because the UK version puts back about 20-25 minutes of the film that are just priceless! They stupidly changed the title of the movie in the US to "Pirate Radio". The original title is quite obviously more clever and appropriate. I was born in 1964 (In N. Ireland!) and so all of this was happening while I was in diapers but the soundtrack is still sublime! The acting is brilliant - once again each actor perfectly cast as with Curtis' other films (Love Actually and 4 Weddings and a Funeral).
The deleted scenes are hilarious and almost constitute another mini movie unto itself! I hope one of these days Curtis just says to hell with time constraints and just throws everything into the main movie. His films are so good that no one would notice if they are 3 and half hours long.... you completely enjoy hanging out with his characters.
If you've loved Curtis' other movies you'll love this one - and if you even remotely love the music from the 60's, the sampling in this movie is brilliant.
If you don't buy this, it will be a "spectacular mistake" - to quote Billy Nighy's character at the beginning.
By the way, for anyone worried about region coding - this disc played just fine in my region 1 player here in the US.

To some extent, the team behind the revival of St. Trinian’s were on a bit of a hiding to nothing. The old films, contextualised by a far different age, were knockabout, energetic, yet innocent comedies about the antics of a boisterous girls’ school and its inhabitants. Surprisingly though, the remake--again inspired by the Ronald Searle cartoons--manages to sidestep the bulk of the obstacles in its path, and proves itself as a likeable, entertaining comedy. The plot of St. Trinian’s is as paper-thin as you’d expect, and serves merely as a platform for the anarchic actions of the cast of characters (some hokum about stealing a picture and saving the school). And a mischievous lot they prove to be: while they don’t quite live up to the memories of the generation of St. Trinian’s students before them, the primarily young cast still attack their roles with tremendous, and infectious, gusto. And leading the cast is Rupert Everett, in an entertaining duel role at St. Trinian’s headmistress Miss Frinton and her brother, Carnaby. Joined by Colin Firth, he’s clearly having a whale of a time, and his casting process a wise decision. Itâ...
Really good family comedy, 2010-01-13
I think st trinians is the perfect DVD for a girly night in and also a family movie night, it's funny, it's not rude, its suitable for everyone and it's a MUST BUY 5 stars!!!

Daniel Craig hasn't lost a step since Casino Royale--this James Bond remains dangerous, a man who could earn that license to kill in brutal hand-to-hand combat… but still look sharp in a tailored suit. And Quantum of Solance itself carries on from the previous film like no other 007 movie, with Bond nursing his anger from the Casino Royale storyline and vowing blood revenge on those responsible. For the new plot, we have villain Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), intent on controlling the water rights in impoverished Third World nations and happy to overthrow a dictator or two to get his way. Olga Kurylenko is very much in the "Bond girl" tradition, but in the Ursula Andress way, not the Denise Richards way. And Judi Dench, Jeffrey Wright, and Giancarlo Giannini are welcome holdovers. If director Marc Forster and the longtime Bond production team seem a little too eager to embrace the continuity-shredding style of the Bourne pictures (especially in a nearly incomprehensible opening car chase), they nevertheless quiet down and get into a dark, concentrated groove soon enough. And the theme song, "Another Way to Die," penned by Jack White and ...
It's James Bond!, 2010-03-11
I bought this because I liked the previous film so much and because I have now a Blu-ray home cinema system, I was not dissapointed, however I am not sure it's as goof as Daniel Craig's first outing as 007. Good enough though to enjoy.

For lovers of Pride and Prejudice, 2010-02-02
I missed this when it was on TV, so was curious to see what it was about. I loved the 1980s BBC version of Pride and Prejudice (David Rintoul and Elizabeth Garvie as Darcy and Elizabeth) but wasn't overly keen on the Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle one. I laughed so much throughout Lost in Austen, especially at a particular reference to the Colin Firth Darcy. It was very well made, with an excellent cast and I loved the fact that everything went wrong. It was a very affectionately made alternative version of the original. The ending wasn't what I had expected and due to a faulty DVD, had to wait a few days to find out what happened (just as Caroline Bingley made her revalation!). Big gold star to the seller for dispatching the replacement so quickly! I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, costume dramas, time travel and any (or all) of the actors. It was brilliantly done by all.
