- RegistaPeter WebberStelleScarlett JohanssonColin FirthTom WilkinsonUna giovane cameriera contadina che lavora nella casa del pittore Johannes Vermeer diventa l'assistente e fa la modella per una delle sue opere più famose.Date set: 1665 (roughly dated)
This is an interesting film, based loosely the life of Dutch painter Johannes, Jan or Johan Vermeer. Please note this is not entirely historically accurate, no one knows how or when the masterpiece was created, but author Tracy Chevalier had a fair go at it. True the pacing is a bit slow for some, but other, like myself, would enjoy the slowness as the story unfolds. Scarlett Johansson is an interesting choice as the maid in the Vermeer household, but well casted. - RegistaNicholas HytnerStelleDaniel Day-LewisWinona RyderPaul ScofieldUn residente di Salem tenta di incastrare la moglie del suo ex amante per essere una strega nel mezzo dei processi per stregoneria del 1692.Date set:1692
This film is based on a play by Arthur Miller "The Crucible", which revolves around the Salem witchcraft trails of 1692 in the small township of Salem Massachusetts. Winona Ryder playes a scorned and complexed woman, is spurred by the rejection of her married lover Daniel Day Lewis. Her actions, almost psycotic at times, is taken beyond the extreme where the lives of the innocents are callously taken for granted. Remember this is a time where anything could be miscontrued as witchcraft and conversing with the devil. Understandably, but nevertheless noticably is the use of modern tongue being spoken, this is all forgiven by the solid performance by the leading cast of Ryder, Day Lewis and Joan Allen. - RegistaBruce BeresfordStelleLothaire BluteauAden YoungSandrine HoltNel Quebec del Diciassettesimo secolo, il missionario gesuita Laforgue, inviato per convertire gli Algonchini e imporre loro il cristianesimo, lotta contro gli elementi della natura e le reazioni dei nativi.

Potrà il gemello sostituirsi al re?It's so obvoius the hair for Leonardo is extensions. And not too well hidden. Not a bad movie, though I preferred the 1977 TV series with Richard Chamberlain, due to reason I saw that one first. Still not a bad effort
- RegistaMichael Caton-JonesStelleLiam NeesonJessica LangeJohn HurtNel 1713 in Scozia, Rob Roy MacGregor subisce un torto da un nobile e da suo nipote, diventa un fuorilegge in cerca di vendetta mentre fugge dalle Giubbe Rosse e rischia di essere un giacobita.Date set: 1713
Brian Cox villanous character is to be applauded, this man knows how to play a villan and play it good. The same goes to Tim Roth character Archibald Cunningham. The plot is simple the lowly noble cattle breeder/farmer sells cattle to leecherously aristrocat. Noble farmer goes a rampage for justice, evil lord gets is just desserts in the end. 3 things stand out here. (1) the music: echoing a scotlish influence (2) the scenery: love the cinematography, the open fields of the Scotish landscape (3) the acting: long time that I've seen Jessica Lange act a decent part. And Liam Nelson is wonderful too. ***SPOILER***the final scene of sword fight is exquisitely choreographed. I liked the difference between the 2 swords, one a broad sword, the other a rapier. Best sword fight since "The Princess Bride". ” - eliza_gaskell - RegistaSyd MacartneyStellePatrick StewartNeve CampbellJoan SimsWhen an American family moves into a haunted mansion in England, the family's teenage daughter could be the key in fulfilling a prophecy and finally set the house's ghost free.
