Engrossing Wartime Drama Makes Bucharest A Character Haven For Plucky English, 2010-05-02
Just watching this series for maybe the fourth time. It's the sort of thing you want to start watching again right away, so attractive and plucky are the characters and so interesting the times they live in.
Really an ensemble production, much like the performance of Troilus & Cressida given in Bucharest by the ex-pats as Paris falls to the Germans: nevertheless, the poster girl, the heart of the matter, is Emma Thompson as Mrs Pringle. Harriet. Her keen intelligence, independence of mind and spirit, are as inspiring as her husband Guy's (Kenneth Branagh) stubborn insistence on carrying on regardless, as fascism spreads over eastern europe, the light of reason and education must remain alive.
Taking in Romania, Athens and Egypt, you certainly get wonderful scenery to go with a gripping story about English people working abroad and having to move on every time the war gets too close. It doesn't have the range of something like The Jewel In The Crown - Complete Series - 25th Anniversary Edition [DVD] [1984] but is still smart television, brilliantly acted - not irritating, like one of my fellow reviewer's says - and thought provoking.
Amongst the best work of Branagh, Thompson, etc. Well worth owning on DVD.

Kenneth Branagh's four-hour production of Shakespeare's full text for Hamlet is visually lush (shot in 70mm, which is rarely done) and full of fascinating story moments that normally get cut from shorter stage versions. (Your idea of what kind of fellow Polonius is may change quite a bit.) The unexpurgated approach is truly enlightening, and Branagh intermittently succeeds at giving familiar moments in the drama an original cinematic spin, including Hamlet's spooky confrontation with his father's ghost (Brian Blessed). (Branagh also imposes some Hollywood glitter on the proceedings by casting the likes of Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Charlton Heston and Jack Lemmon in the smaller parts.) The pre-Titanic Kate Winslet is very good as the doomed Ophelia, and Derek Jacobi delivers a wonderfully nuanced performance as Claudius, whose character is definitely filled out by the restored material. Branagh's own performance is a little revisionist--some viewers have quibbled with it while others seem fine. --Tom Keogh.

A Great Screeenplay, with one problem..., 2010-07-13
This is a fantastic cinematic production of Hamlet, let down by the fact that Branagh is far too old to play the young, mad prince. Being the age he is, he injects an older man's passion into the role, an older man's diatribe of the fortunes and misfortunes of youth. Branagh should have cast a younger man in the role of Hamlet and concentrated on his excellent directorial skills.

Very few first-time film directors would have been capable of making such a triumphant adaptation of Henry V; but a still-youthful Kenneth Branagh's years of stage experience paid off handsomely and his 1989 version qualifies as a genuine masterpiece, the kind of film that comes along once in a decade. He eschews the theatricality of Laurence Olivier's stirring, fondly remembered 1945 adaptation to establish his own rules: Branagh plays it down and dirty, seeing the Bard's play through revisionist eyes, framing it as an anti-war story in contrast to Olivier's patriotic spectacle. Branagh gives us harsh close-ups of muddied, bloody men, and of himself as Henry, his hardened mouth and wilful eyes revealing much about the personal cost of war. Not that the director-star doesn't provide lighter moments: his scenes introducing the French Princess Katherine (Emma Thompson) trying to learn English quickly from her maid are delightful. What may be the crowning glory of Branagh's adaptation comes when the dazed leader wanders across the battlefield, not even sure who has won. As King Hal carries a dead boy (a young Christian Bale) over the hacked bodies of both the English and Fr...
Henry hip hip hurray, 2010-05-04
this is worth geting for the down and dirty swordfights. they save the best for last. and then after the battle you have them taking the bodys of the field to be buryed. with the nice little vigarate of the french women who try to attack Henry for getting their husbands killed while he carries the body of one of the unarmed children the french butched because things wern't going their way. nice back stab at any who think war is good.

Brilliant! Excellent Value. Exeactly right for a dinosaur mad child., 2010-08-04
Bought this for my dinosaur mad 3 year old (and only just 3). Thought it might be a bit scary and maybe it would be if he hadn't already seen all the Ice Age films (lots of times) and been to Dinosaurs Unleashed in Oxford Street with the full size animatronix dinosaurs. He is completely in awe of the series and asks for it to be on all the time. He's learned lots of new dinosaur names (and he knew at least 20 before....) and is unfazed by the attacks by one dinosaur on another.
Am sure any dinosaur mad child would love this and such excellent value at £4.47.
Maybe would exercise some caution and make sure you watch the series with them to start off with - just in case of any distress - it's incredibly realistic.

The world's most famous boy wizard dives straight into a darker and more thrilling magical adventure in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It's practically the same set-up--something evil's afoot at Hogwarts; Harry and his pals must put it right--but fans of the books won't be disappointed. Director Chris Columbus, whose artistic licence is necessarily limited by the demands of adapting JK Rowling's phenomenally popular novel, does a spectacular job rendering Rowling's imaginary world: the production design and costumes are fascinating in their own right; such is the impressive attention to detail.
Daniel Radcliffe gives a more assured performance here as Harry, though he's not quite strong enough to carry the film without the aid of an excellent ensemble cast of experienced adults, notably a twinkly-eyed Kenneth Branagh. Of course, most avid fans will already know what's going to happen as far as the story is concerned, so for them the pleasure in watching The Chamber of Secrets lies in the visualisation of Rowling's magical creations and the verve brought to the action sequences. It's fantastic fun for kids and there's plenty of childhood nostalgia for t...

Kenneth Branagh's 1993 production of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is a vigorous and imaginative work, cheerful and accessible for everyone. Largely the story of Benedick (Branagh) and Beatrice (Emma Thompson)--adversaries who come to believe each is trying to woo the other--the film veers from arched wit to ironic romps, and the two leads don't mind looking a little silly at times. But the plot is also layered with darker matters that concern the ease with which men and women fall into mutual distrust. Branagh has rounded up a mixed cast of stage vets and Hollywood stars, among the latter Denzel Washington and Michael Keaton, the latter playing a rather seedy, Beetlejuice-like version of Dogberry, king of malapropisms.--Tom Keogh
A delightful to-do!, 2010-07-15
Few of Shakespeare's plays translate happily to a modern audience and director's seem fixated by the need to transpose them to other periods, so a 19th crentury transposition from Sicily to Tuscany might be expected not to work, but Branagh and colleages bring it off magnificently, and with great joy. (Hey Nonny nonny!). I've never had such a feel-good factor from the bard!
