1.The Thorn Birds - The Missing Years starring: Richard Chamberlain, Amanda Donohoe, Paul Bertram, Julia Blake, Olivia Burnette directed by: Kevin James Dobson January 08, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
One extremely important detail one should notice before watching `The Thorn Birds 2 - The Missing Years' ('96) is that Richard Chamberlain is the only member of the original Thorn Birds cast to return for this re-visioning of the classic mini-series from '83.That one simple fact says volumes about what lies ahead for the unfortunate viewer. No matter how much one may like Richard Chamberlain this is not a one-man-show and the supporting cast of fill-ins do little to make this one believable or acceptable. Touted as an "in-betweener" rather than a sequel, the storyline looks backward to explore events left out of the first mini-series. New situations and encounters between the two forlorn lovers are concocted and the plot strives to add depth and meaning to the film by presenting ... Read More

2.Castaway (1987) starring: Oliver Reed, Amanda Donohoe, Georgina Hale, Frances Barber, Tony Rickards directed by: Nicolas Roeg September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.66
I found that lucy Irving wrote a comment on the movie. Go to: Amazon UK. Castaway, VHS (not DVD) and see what she has to say about the movie. It will answer some questions. I will add additional comments, after I read Gerald Kingsland's book, "the Islander" (very hard to find in the USA) You can (and should) buy Lucy Irving's book, "Castaway". It's available on Amazon, for ten cents, on up. Certainly the price is right.

3.Liar Liar (Thx) starring: Jim Carrey, Maura Tierney, Justin Cooper, Cary Elwes, Anne Haney directed by: Tom Shadyac September 30, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Jim Carrey is awesome and extremely hilarious as a lawyer named Fletcher Reede, who lies constantly to his son, his co-workers, and at court. When he doesn't show up for his son, Max's 5th birthday, Max makes a wish that for a whole day, his dad couldn't lie. Throughout the whole next day, Fletcher tries to lie, but he can't. When he tells the truth, it sometimes get him into trouble. If you love comedy, and Jim Carrey, you'll love LIAR LIAR!!!

4.Paper Mask starring: Paul McGann, Amanda Donohoe, Frederick Treves, Tom Wilkinson, Barbara Leigh-Hunt directed by: Christopher Morahan April 14, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.19
This wonderful little thriller from over ten years ago was largely overlooked when it was first released, although I did manage to catch a look at it when it hit theatres. Then, as now, I was very impressed with its rather terrifying story about a young and ambitious hospital janitor (played wonderfully by Paul McGann) unhappy with his lot in life and seizing upon the opportunity of a lifetime of becoming what he really wants to be - a doctor, but with frighteningly tragic results. The film is tightly directed, scripted and acted by a first rate British cast which includes the always wonderful Tom Wilkinson and the 'delicious' Amanda Donohoe - probably more famous for her rather risque role in the TV series LA Law from some years back. If you're in the mood for a menacing, un-nerving thriller without the traditional ... Read More

5.Foreign Body starring: Victor Banerjee, Warren Mitchell, Denis Quilley, Amanda Donohoe, Eve Ferret directed by: Ronald Neame July 25, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.50
Foreign Body is a sexy, sassy comedy about a fake physician in London who specializes in a very different kind of bedside manner. Victor Banerjee, the India-born star of A Passage to India, stars in Foreign Body a unique British Comedy of errors. Based on the novel by Roderick Mann. He plays a jobless immigrant from Calcutta, Banerjee steals money from his own father in order to get to the UK . There he makes contact with his cousin Warren Mitchell, who arranges for him to get a job as a bus conductor. But when he begins to pursue a pretty white woman, Banerjee loses his job because of the girl's influential father. His luck changes radically when he performs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a bus accident victim, whereupon he is mistaken for a doctor by friendly model Amanda Donohoe (liar of the white worm). ...

6.In the Beginning (2000) starring: Martin Landau, Jacqueline Bisset, Bill Campbell, Eddie Cibrian, Fred Weller directed by: Kevin Connor February 20, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.99
This is the best general Genesis movie I've seen. The scenes were vivid, the action paced well, the costumes done well and the dialogue was pretty good too. It goes from the creation, being told by Abraham, to the Israelites entering the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt. The only story really missing in this movie was Noah's Ark, but that would have made this even longer, but I still wish it was included. But this movie is very well done. The individual stories draw you into them and you really begin to care about the people they're about. The second part of the film, which deals with the Exodus, is really compelling and the special effects aren't too bad for a made for TV movie. This is definitely recommended for the family. It's really kid friendly.

7.Circus (2000) starring: Lucy Akhurst, Michael Attwell, Christopher Biggins, Ian Burfield, Brian Conley October 30, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
Good lighting and cinematography, otherwise smug and sophomoric script by Tarantino-geek clone, who fancies that drama is achieved through endless scenes of bullying and barnyard expletives. Its key villain, Bruno, is several rungs below Cesar Romero's camp "Joker" caricature on the old BATMAN TV series. (In voiceover commentary, the inept scriptwriter infers that audiences disliked the performance because they weren't hip enough to appreciate that Bruno is SUPPOSED to be an unlikeable sadistic egotist--as opposed to the likeable variety of such a goon.) The Brit TV triumph HUSTLE and the 1970s classic THE STING outclass this puny busy-ness, not just because they had better budgets and were produced by competent filmmakers. They had genuine wit, style, and characters (villains included) worth ... Read More

8.One Night Stand starring: Susan Barnes, John Calley, Thomas Haden Church, Amanda Donohoe, Robert Downey Jr. September 08, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
If for no other reason, see this film as proof of Wesley Snipes' compelling dramatic ability. He proves, as he did in his earlier Spike Lee films, that he is much more than just another action figure clone. The film explores some deep forbidden territory, and made many viewers uncomfortable and therefore (I think), unfair and not objective in their reviews. Just as 'Fatal Attraction' was too close to the bone for some, many rejected this film for the inability to deal with their own feelings around infidelity, homosexuality, death, racism, lust and love. This is not a film for the insecure who wish to feel safe in the familiar landscape of their own backyards. It is a courageous if decadent exploration of the human condition on many levels. A truly fine film that I found profoundly moving. Highly recommended!
