1.Dreamchild starring: Coral Browne, Ian Holm, Peter Gallagher, Nicola Cowper, Jane Asher directed by: Gavin Millar September 01, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.95
The centenary of Lewis Carroll's death is fast approaching, and the inspiration for Alice (Coral Browne) is coming to America for the festivities. She is a proper old woman with a sharp tongue and with very little interest in revisiting her childhood memories. It is only when an out of work reporter (David Gallagher) enters the picture that she decides to open up, and then only because she is paid for it. The memories are painful because of the strange fascination that Carroll (Ian Holm) had for her (Amelia Shankley), but upon reflection she is able to come to terms with it. An interesting take on the story of Alice in Wonderland, much the same way that Hook was a new slant on Peter Pan, Dreamchild alternates between childlike fantasy and very mature themes. It opens with Jim ... Read More

3.Lionheart starring: Eric Stoltz, Gabriel Byrne, Nicola Cowper, Dexter Fletcher, Deborah Moore directed by: Franklin J. Schaffner July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.90
Lionheart was a bit of a disappointment, considering the historical theme of the movie and the presence of Gabriel Byrne among others, though by no means is it a terrible movie. The story unfolds as the Third Crusade a.k.a. the Kings' Crusade (1189-1192), is about to head to the Holy Land for a showdown with Saladin's forces. A young (a little too young) knight disgusted with the purposeless wars and killings taking place in Brittany and Normandy decides to find King Richard II, the Lionheart, as he journeys through France and join his crusade. It's not long before he comes across orphaned children in need of protection from slavers roaming the area, led by a fallen knight and crusader calling himself "The Dark Prince." In short, the setting is good, the plot is average, the ... Read More

4.Transmutations starring: Denholm Elliott, Steven Berkoff, Larry Lamb, Nicola Cowper, Irina Brook directed by: George Pavlou April 13, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.99
This is now a more obscure little film, written by Clive Barker.The story centers around a young prostitute that is kidnapped by a group of mutants who are hooked on a mind expanding drug created by a sinister doctor. She is kidnapped because, though she has taken the drug, she exhibits none of the symptons which are basically, face disfigurements. Meanwhile those that have marketed the drug are out to kill the mutants that live below the city in order to exterminate the evidence of thier crimes. Mutants versus the Gangsters basically. This film is not really a horror film. The mutants are simply people that have been tricked and wronged into mutations. The bad guys are simply gangster who are not very sinister or even menacing for that matter. This film is more of a moral drama than it is a horror ... Read More
