This is a worthwhile package featuring the fine historical dramas 'Elizabeth' and 'Elizabeth:The Golden Age'.Both movies show Elizabeth 1st at different stages of her life and though they have received some critisism about their historical inaccuracies they are entertaining and well worth watching.
Cate Blanchett is fantastic in the lead role and you can't take your eyes off her.She is a wonderful actress and she is at her very best in both movies.There is very good support from the likes of Geoffrey Rush,Clive Owen,Christopher Eccleston,Joseph Fiennes and many others.The cinematography is excellent also.
Of the two,'Elizabeth' is the better movie but as a double DVD set this is a treat and definitely well worth a look.There ... Read More:

I'm not a Cronenberg fan but after seeing the fantastic 'A History of Violence' and hearing some good word of mouth reviews I decided to check out Eastern Promises.
Everything is in place for a good movie, good script, cracking cast, decent premise. So what goes wrong?
Well, in 2 words? - the end - I was really into the film, really gripped and thoroughly enjoying it until the final 15/20 minutes.
The cast do a good job with a well written script and intriguing storyline - although be warned, you'll need to put up with some dodgy Russian accents - all the hard work is done and everything is moving along nicely until the final 15 minutes when it's all thrown away for the jumbled, open ended, rushed, abrupt and unsatisfactory ...

Its rubbish. I persevered with up to half way, but could not take any more. Nothing happened and you simply do not care about the cliche characters. Do yourself a big favour and give this total bore a miss.

I was hugely looking forward to watching these two so finally got them using the Amazon Rental thingy. People had been going on about how they weren't just for kids and what great films they were. Well, I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. They were both pretty dull. Thin plots, poor songs and musical numbers (apart from the last number in Shrek 2), annoying characters (in a more realistic film someone would have shot the Donkey ten minutes in).
Maybe I'm just an old grouch, but I fell asleep twice during the second one and the first wasn't much better.

Firstly, this is a funny film. This made me laugh all the way through until........you guessed it, the food poisoning scene which, even as someone who has followed the careers of these two from The Young Ones and been to the stage shows, I have to say, I found it too much to watch; even though it was comedy vomiting it went on for too long and made me feel quite ill after watching it! If you can stick it though, it's a great film, so I'm not giving it the thumbs down, just a warning to those of a nervous disposition!

I really enjoyed this film, I've seen hundreds of films and love thrillers, but I can honestly say that I've never seen a film quite like this before.
I guess this is a thriller that's also a psychological thriller with some really good twists and turns.
I do wonder sometimes if Clive Owen is truly a lead actor or not, but here he proves that he is in what could well be his best performances that I've seen of his to date, Jennifer Aniston is also in fine form in a role completely away from any other role I've seen her in, then there's the performance of Vincent Cassel who's superb as the villain, for me he's the best screen villain that I've seen for sometime.
It's difficult to say anything else about the film as it could give the game away, I try ... Read More:

Viggo Mortensen is a great actor which he clearly shows in this film. The story is clear and you get a good look into the director and writers interpretation of the Russian mafia set in London. The atmosphere is excellent and I sat amazed through most of the movie. Most meaning that it was rather long. I am no big fan of Naomi Watts and I thought she did her job on this film, no more no less. But thats probably just me.
If your are interested in Russian society set in western Europe this is a movie for you. If you want fast entertainment, do not go for this film.
Recommended ? yes, definitely.

This is a great film hard to pigeon hole as it is a werewolf movie / martial arts / period drama. A beast is rampaging through the countryside in France but is it a real beast or a myth what is going on? The answer comes at the end of the film but the journey is a great one: Monica Belluci plays a mysterious Italian courtesan and Vincent Cassell plays the son of a wealthy and powerful noble. The interiors and costumes are sumptuous and it is refreshing to watch a film where the acting and script holds up rather than relying on cgi effects.
