"Jane Eyre--the mother of all gothic romances--gets abundant passion in this 11-episode BBC miniseries. Young Sian Pattenden is wonderfully willful and impetuous; viewers will immediately identify with the child Jane as she fights against ill-treatment at the home of her aunt and at boarding school. It's a shame to see her grow up into Zelah Clarke--until Clarke asserts her own quiet yet fierce spirit. The plot really starts rollin ..."
"Here are 18 more eye-popping episodes from HBO's shiver-shudder-and-shriek anthology series, adapted from the pages of E.C. Comics' legendary horror comics. Season 2 of Tales from the Crypt doesn't back down from the promise made by its debut season: some of the biggest names in Hollywood do their best in front of and behind the camera to deliver the gory goods, with a healthy dash of Tales' signature coal-black humor. There's Demi Moor ..."

"Naked in New York is a likable, intimate look at the young couple Jake and Joanne (Eric Stoltz and Mary-Louise Parker), who meet in college and slowly see their lives pull apart. A romantic comedy with a New York attitude, it's a more realistic version of Reality Bites. A struggling playwright with a rich imagination, Jake has a laziness factor that's holding him back, and, in part, that's the underlying feeling of the movie: Things jus ..."

In17th-century England, ambitious country gentleman Oliver Cromwell (Harris) dared to challenge the political oppression and corruption which besieged his nation.

"Set in early 1900's France, a widow renews a former romantic interest until it is discovered that he has had a past fling with one of her new employees, a nanny. This sets the two women into many well-mannered accusations and conversations, but no modern brawling, and puts him in the middle or possibly on the outside"
"Ehrgeizig ihren Weg in der Welt zu machen, nimmt eine Friseuse ihre Chance wahr, als man sie in ein modernes Märchenland namens Slovetzia schickt, um die drei Kinder des schroffen Diktators Boris Pochenko zu unterrichten. Joy glaubt, daß man sie als Kosmetikerin engagiert hat. Boris hingegen meint, sie wäre als kompetente Lehrerin für Naturwissenschaften angestellt worden. Doch Wissenschaft hin oder her, eine andere Sorte Chemie fängt z ..."
"Sean Connery casts a long shadow over the James Bond legacy. He created the movie persona and starred in six of the first seven features, all but establishing the cool cold warrior as the world's most suave secret agent. The second Bond collection celebrates the Connery Bond with three of his classics, including From Russia with Love, 007's second and perhaps finest outing. A blond, buff Robert Shaw plays Bond's most ruthless nemesis, a ..."
"Timothy Daltons zweiter und auch letzter Auftritt als James Bond ist nahezu ebenso unterhaltsam wie sein Debüt, das er zwei Jahre früher im 1987 entstandenen Der Hauch des Todes hatte. Dieses mal wird Bond zum Rächer, nachdem ein enger Freund (David Hedison, Sprengkommando Atlantik, Die größte Geschichte aller Zeiten), der ebenfalls beim Geheimdienst arbeitet, am Tag seiner Hochzeit ermordet wird. 007 begibt sich in den Untergrund und e ..."

"Timothy Dalton stars as Father Bowdern, the priest who battled the devil for the soul of a child. Suffering unspeakable horrors and witnessing incredible evil, he must overcome his doubts and face his fears. Based on the actual case that inspired The Exorcist, nothing before has been a shockingly terrifying as the one and only true story!"
"Part of a nine-play series produced in England, this production of Antony and Cleopatra was meant to offer a more conversational and less intimidating version of Shakespeare, to be used in classrooms where it would make Shakespeare more accessible to students. Still, it's hard to imagine students sitting still for this stiff, three-hour version. Using relatively bare-bones production values for the sets, this video offers Timothy D ..."
"Timothy Dalton lehnte sein Debüt als 007 an die härtere Gangart Sean Connerys an und schaffte den Spaß und die Wortspiele der letzten Bond-Filme mit Roger Moore einfach ab. Er zeigte dem Publikum gleich von Beginn an, dass er Mumm in den Knochen hat: In der Eingangssequenz von Der Hauch des Todes hängt er an einem dahinrasenden Lastwagen, während dieser schmale, mit Kopfstein gepflasterte Straßen hinunterschießt. Er hat einen heftigen F ..."
"This is a deadly duel of wits between a brilliantly perceptive criminal and his determined adversary. One by one, the traps are set, but who is the intended victim?"
