A Room with a View (Two-Disc Special Edition) from BBC Price: $20.24 Customer Review:  "Room with a View," based on E.M. Foresters classic novel, is possibly the most romantic movie of all time. A fantastic introduction to the lavish world of Merchant and Ivory's whimsical interpretation of Victorian England, "Room with a View" is engaging, humorous and heart-stoppingly beautiful.... |

Maurice - The Merchant Ivory Collection from Home Vision Entertainment Price: $22.46 Customer Review: After seeing this movie I immediately ran to buy the book. Both book and film are so incredibly wonderful I hesitate to try to do justice to either in a review. The movie is really spectacular, staying impecably true to the book in pretty much every way. 99.9 percent of the movie's dialogue comes... |

The Remains of the Day (Special Edition) from Columbia Tri-Star Price: $26.96 Customer Review: Without creating an elite among film viewers, "The Remains of the Day" divides spectators into two categories -- one is of those who are left indifferent by the movie, those who miss full-swing action and find the film too long and too boring. The other group (myself including) find it delightful... |

Scary Movie 2 from Dimension Home Video Price: $15.99 Customer Review:  Scary Movie 2 is a step down from the original, but there's still lots of ... gags and cute facial expressions from Anna Farris to smile and laugh at. This time, characters from the original and some new faces are taken to a haunted mansion dubbed "Hell House" for a "sleep disorder experiment."... |

Shakespeare Wallah - The Merchant Ivory Collection from Home Vision Entertainment Price: $26.96 Customer Review: PROS: This is a great film to watch on a rainy Sunday. The actors are all top rate and the story unfolds seamlessly. Perhaps not as "polished" as later Merchant-Ivory fare, but it certainly is more realistic and heart wrenching. CONS: |

Nine Months from Twentieth Century Fox Price: $9.98 Customer Review: "Nine Months" deserves credit just for being a Columbus film. But there's more to it than that: It's outrageously funny, with the film indeed coasting on Hugh's antics and boyish charm, and Moore's radiant beauty. An aging bachelor (Hugh Grant) is trying to make up his mind whether or not to... |

The Golden Bowl from Vidmark/Trimark Price: $13.48 Customer Review: The Golden Bowl is a beautiful movie that, like the bowl in the title, seems perfect, but there is a crack somewhere. I highly recommend it because the story and the production are so intriguing. The sets, costumes, ambiance and writing are signature Ivory/Merchant quality. The cast is first rate. I... |

Heat and Dust - The Merchant Ivory Collection from Home Vision Entertainment Price: $26.96 Customer Review: I watched the movie almost twenty years back on Indian TV and was entranced by the romance of British India. I then ordered it on UK Amazon site, bought a code free DVD player, just to watch this movie. This is one of those rare instances when the movie is far better than the book. May be that has... |

Lumi?re and Company from Fox Lorber Price: $22.48 Customer Review:  In 1885, the Lumiere Brothers perfected a hand-cranked movie camera that moved the world. This 100th year anniversary takes forty filmmakers to task with the same camera to produce a film less than a minute. It's not as interesting in its results as one might have hoped. It was a huge challenge and... |

Jefferson in Paris from Buena Vista Home Vid Price: $17.99 Customer Review: Jefferson in Paris is an alright movie. It is to long and quite boring. The movie starts out with Sally Hemings's son Madison telling the story of his mother's relationship with Thomas Jefferson. Most of the movie focuses on Jefferson's relationship with Maria Cosway. Why would they have Sally's... |

The Wild Party from MGM/UA Video Price: $13.46 Customer Review: This has been a pretty good year for fans of the lovely AND talented Raquel Welch. First 20th Century Fox released "The Raquel Welch Collection" box set, then Warner Home Video gave us "The Last Of Sheila" and now "The Wild Party", probably one of Miss Welch's best films! And thanks to the fine... |

Quartet - The Merchant Ivory Collection from Home Vision Entertainment Price: $26.96 Customer Review: Since its release in the early 1980s, Quartet hasn't been remembered as much as some of their other films. Thats a shame because Quartet is one of their finer works. A very engrossing drama about mind control and deceit. As one would expect from M & A, the attention to detail in recreating the... |

The Europeans - The Merchant Ivory Collection from Home Vision Entertainment Price: $26.96 Customer Review: This beautiful adaptation of the Henry James novel of the same name is an early Ivory/Merchant film. It is beautifully shot with shimmering pastoral scenes that bring to mind some wonderful impressionist paintings. The story is likewise somewhat impressionistic and centered around two brother and... |

Le Divorce from Fox Home Entertainme Price: $10.49 Customer Review: The joy of this film is not the comedy (though one cannot help but laugh at the interactions of the vividly drawn characters in this film); this film's redemption comes in the sharp eye it takes to the relationships and the differences in the French and American people. In the film, Americans are... |

Mr. and Mrs. Bridge from Buena Vista Home Vid Price: $13.49 Customer Review: "Mr. And Mrs. Bridge" stars Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, playing a 1940 marriage. This is a conventional drama with excellent performances, the characters are nothing out of this world, they are a bunch of characters very similar to real life people, the story is not very original, it's just a... |
