King Arthur: The Young Warlord Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I appreciate the comments of Robert, however I must disagree, this version of Arthur I beleive would be more to the 'real' Arthur. The video cover does give the impression that you are about to watch a Hollywood type film with knights in shinig armour, but for anyone who watch the original series in 1972 would know different. As for the colour going in and out - it was made for PAL television and then converted to NTSC and you will probably be watching it on a NTSC video player that converts the signal bacl to a PAL format, I'm not surpriseed that there is some colour fluctuations.
All said and done the I found the film a joy to watch especially the marriage feast, it was so funny. Anyone who watched the original series maybe be disappointed about the colour, however I'm sure that ardent fans who haven't been able to watch the program for well over 20yrs (last shown in the UK 1983) will be well pleased.
I would hope that sometime in the future HTV the makers and current holders of the rites to the series will by public pressure release the whole series on video in the UK.

Interview with a Serial Killer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Initially released as WHITE ANGEL, this 1993 British film is a disturbing, well-thought out thriller featuring a killer performance from Peter Firth (Equus, Pearl Harbor) as serial killer Leslie Steckler. Steckler is a dentist who eliminates blonde women wearing white; we learn later why he chooses these victims. We first meet true crime novelist Ellen Carter, who has plastered her husband's body all over their garage wall. We then see her dragging his body through the house. Three years later, Ellen's husband has been assumed a runaway, and she's gotten away with his murder. Steckler meanwhile enters the scene as a boarder at Carter's house, and he ultimately discovers the husband's body behind the wall in the guest room. He then decides to blackmail Carter by insisting that she write a novel about him, so the world can understand why The White Angel is a killer.
From this point, the movie becomes a game of cat and mouse, with emotional feelings starting to blossom between the two killers. Several distracting clues include the police's suspicion that the White Angel is a woman (Steckler dresses up like a woman), and the fact that one murder weapon is actually Carter's hammer. The movie climaxes in an unexpected fashion and Mrs. Carter finds herself in deep doodoo.
Too bad that Helena Robinson's performance as the crimewriting killer doesn't match Firth's. A stronger actress could have brought this film to an even higher level of excellence. As it is, it's quite different and Firth is marvelous.
