| The movies and actors/actresses did their job well, but I am not impressed with the work of George Eliot. I prefer other writers more. This is the first of her work I have read or watched. |

| I found this series to be very well done. Cadfael is one of my favorites. If you like a mystery that is not easily solved you will like these. The acting is excellent. Unlike some other reviews I found nothing wrong with the picture. I recommend them to anyone who enjoys British mysteries. |

| I was concerned when I saw that Paltrow had been cast as Plath, so I avoided seeing this movie for years because I was sure she alone would derail the movie. How wrong of me - it's not that Paltrow isn't miscast, it's that the Plath she's playing isn't quite true to life. Paltrow actually does an excellent job with what she's given.
What's missing? Well, Plath's breezy, bright qualities are almost completely absent, save for some quick scenes at the beginning of the movie that only serve as a quick opportunity ... Read More: |

| I own both this series and the second one. The problem I had with this one is that it costs a lot and comes with less hours than Series Two. The stories are strong and the characters are both believable and engaging.
Simple, straight-forward british mystery series. |

| I guess I didn't miss much by not reading this book as a child. I don't really understand why it became a classic. It starts out interestingly enough with a very gothic setting. A little British girl named Mary survives a cholera epidemic in India and is sent to Yorkshire to live with her distant relatives. The author gives a vivid description of the beauty of the moors and the mysterious mansion that the girl goes to live in. The only other interesting part is really when Mary discovers the boy...more I guess I didn't miss much by not reading this ... Read More: |

| These are the best of the series. It may be your introduction to the books or a chance to see the stories you've loved come alive.
These are the closest to the books (the characters and stories suffer some distortions) and perfectly cast and acted. |

| A seemingly chance encounter with an old lady results in architect Michael Lewis (Andrew McCarthy) developing the ability to see and communicate with dead people. One of the ghosts he sees is that of a little girl who was murdered by a serial killer and Lewis is enlisted to solve her murder so that she can rest in peace.
This movie was shown on Australian television as a lunch time movie (a time-slot not exactly renown for it's high quality entertainment) and I watched it solely because I will watch just about anything that stars Andrew McCarthy, no matter how bad it ... Read More: |
