It just keeps getting better!
This episode was breathtaking! I can't fault it and strongly urge you to IGNORE all the negative reviews! If you only watch one episode, watch this one for the fight scene alone!
The Doors (1991)
"There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors."
This film is an absolute gem, for both Doors fans, and those looking for a great biopic to watch. Oliver Stone did a great job directing a stellar cast, and combined with a fantastic soundtrack, this film is not one to be overlooked.
Val Kilmer was just superb and I felt he really captured the magical and mysterious personality that was Jim Morrison (apparently he sang the songs so well that the real Doors couldn't tell the difference between who was Morrison and who was Kilmer), accompanied with a beautiful, and memorable, performance from Meg Ryan as Morrison's girlfriend Pamela Courson.
This film reignited my love for the Doors, and even if you aren't a die-hard fan, I challenge you to watch this fantastic film and come away liking (if not loving) at least one song!
Ever After (1998)
Ever After for ever and ever
I was a child when I first saw this film and it has always been one of my absolute favourites. The setting, the costumes (especially Danielle's ball gown and glass slippers), and the storyline are just superb, followed by great performances from all the actors including Melanie Lynskey, Timothy West, Judy Parfitt, Megan Dodds and Patrick Godfrey.
Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott are perfect for the roles of Danielle and Prince Henry and you fall in love with both of them from the start. Drew Barrymore turns the usual 'damsel' Cinderella into a strong-minded, and strong-willed female lead, whilst Dougray Scott ignites the rebellious side to the prince Charming of the fairytale.
Anjelica Houston is graciously ruthless in her portrayal of the Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent aka the evil stepmother, and both Lynskey and Dodds make very comical 'ugly stepsisters'.
All in all, this film is a fantastic retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairytale, with a wonderful cast, both leading and supporting, and leaves you with that magical feeling of warmth and happiness.
