1.White Mischief starring: Greta Scacchi, Charles Dance, Joss Ackland, Sarah Miles, Geraldine Chaplin directed by: Michael Radford August 30, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $11.69
Interesting and easy read - Fox has done his research well. My late husband's parents were Kenya settlers and his father had NO respect for the Happy Valley crowd AT ALL. Fox has certainly filled in many of the gaps left in the story my husband, Len Gill told me and has introduced me to a new side of some of the characters Len knew. I only wish I had read this book before my husband died of cancer. So many questions - so little time for answers.

2.Out on a Limb Miniseries starring: Shirley MacLaine, Charles Dance, John Heard, Anne Jackson, Jerry Orbach directed by: Robert Butler January 07, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.18
Shirley Maclaine's willingness to risk ridicule with her candor is to be commended. She powerfully states what many people fear to speak of. This book inspired me and in fact, if the title had not been taken, may very well have been the title for "Blessings In The Mire." Because she is such a celebrity figure, Maclaine risked more than an average joe. By expressing her beliefs, she opened herself up to the skeptics, the critics, the hecklers. If for nothing else, Ms. Maclaine should be commended for her candor and bavery, but with this statement aside, the book stands on its own for being extremely thought provoking, for creating dialog between believers and skeptics, and for being an extremely well written volume. KUDOS to to Shirley Maclaine for her skill and talent as a proficient author. She is NOT ... Read More

3.Pascali's Island starring: Ben Kingsley, Charles Dance, Kevork Malikyan, George Murcell, Helen Mirren directed by: James Dearden January 25, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.99
The dramatic conflict is created by an intriguing contrast. A British archeologist --turned con man-- and a Turkish spy --turned opportunist-- do well on an abundantly corrupt island under Ottoman control. Unexpected events encourage them to renew youthfully idealistic pursuits which ironically turn tragic.

4.The Jewel in the Crown - Complete Set starring: Peggy Ashcroft, Derrick Branche, Charles Dance, Geraldine James, Rachel Kempson directed by: Jim O'Brien, Christopher Morahan April 24, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.00
If there was ever evidence of perfection on the small screen it's here in "The Jewel In The Crown". It's been 24 years since I last saw the show and I'm here to report that time has polished this jewel to a magnificent shine. Don't deprive yourself of experiencing drama at its finest. The DVD transfer may not be up to today's standards but the acting is beyond reproach and Tim Pigott-Smith gives a performance of a lifetime. Quite simply, it doesn't get better than this.

6.Bond: For Your Eyes Only starring: Roger Moore, Carole Bouquet, Topol, Lynn-Holly Johnson, Julian Glover directed by: John Glen (II) October 19, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
For Your Eyes Only is showing its age a bit now. At the time a hugely welcome return to basics after the leaden FX spectacle of Moonraker (the second remake of You Only Live Twice in a row for the series), it still holds up as one of the best of Roger Moore's Bonds, but its faults are much more apparent than they once were. Among them is the tendency to undercut everything with unfunny little jokes (a scoreboard keeping count of thugs Bond knocks out, Bond giving a bemused royal wave to pursuing thugs, and a horrendous cameo from a Maggie Thatcher lookalike in the end), some flat studio work (no disguising the fact that the mountaintop Greek monastery is just a Pinewood set), a dated Bill Conti score and a comic relief nympho nymphet Lynn Holly Johnson constantly throwing herself at a disinterested Bond. Luckily, the pluses more than compensate ... Read More

7.Rebecca (1997) (2pc) starring: Anthony Bate, John Branwell, Jonathan Cake, Tom Chadbon, Lucy Cohu directed by: Jim O'Brien October 02, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.14
This film was well done. I have never seen Hitchcock's version to compare it with, but my intuition tells me that more than two hours will provide more space to cover details from the original novel. Although I have never read the Daphne Du Maurier's novel with the same name, the development and conclusion of the film left me quite intrigued. If the film and the text are quite the same, I wonder if the writer is more than a sentimental and romantic writer. For one, I found it quite intriguing that the second Mrs. De Winters never had a name of her own. I Know that the author did that on purpose. What was she trying to communicate to her audience? Was it that the first Mrs. De Winter was always known as Rebecca because she was truly a free woman, and not someone who belonged to this world? After all, she is no different from Lady St. Colomb ... Read More

9.Dark Blue World starring: Hans-Jörg Assmann, Juraj Bernáth, Charles Dance, Jaromír Dulava, Radim Fiala May 28, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.44
This is a very well written, directed, and acted film. It is gripping, entertaining, and engaging all throughout its length. The characters are real, the fears and hopes are real, and I just really enjoyed this movie. The film follows the course of several Czechoslovakian pilots who cannot reconcile themselves to Nazi occupation of their homeland. They relocate their squadron to England and wait out the drudgery of inactivity until they are finally called upon to fight for the allied war effort against Germany. The film shows very good aerial combat with accurate airplane (Supermarine Mark IV Spitfires, a B25 Mitchell - though this was mainly a Pacific theater plane, Messerschmitt Me 109) depictions. There are enough closeups so to think there is an entire squadron of these vintage planes still around, and my guess is computer graphics played a large ... Read More

10.Undertow starring: Lou Diamond Phillips, Mia Sara, Charles Dance directed by: Eric Red July 02, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $15.27
An excellent movie for either man or woman. It has its scary side, in the character of Lyle, a psychopath, a love interest in Jack and Willie, and from a male point of view, Mia Sara is wonderfully gorgeous even when she tries not to be. Her one nude scene is well worth seeing. She is just as attractive nude as she is clothed, if not more so. Not worth 5 stars, but worth at least 4.
