Who would have thought that Michael Caine would do an american accent? I was really disapointed that this stallwart of british film would actually do it. In The Weather Man, his character is harsh and unemtional. I can see where he is coming from, what he is trying to protray and he does it very well - I just can't get past the accent.

Cage is fantastic. He is really bringhing out different sides in himself and challenging his craft. His depressed, unhappy Weather Man pulls at the heart strings. I have had a soft spot for Nic since Wild at Heart, and now it is great to see him grow as an actor.

Gore's direction is great - as ever, he just lets them get on with it.

If you haven't seen this film, I would watch it on a Thursday night or Sunday afternoon. It's good, gentle and leaves you thinking about when your big break might come - if ever...

What a great little film! I loved it's charm, simplicity and the cast - including the kids are great. It's so good seeing Emma Thompson back on top - we always preferred you to Kenneth! Her performance is great and Colin Firth and Kelly MacDonald should also get a mention for thier perfrect chemistry. Imelda Staunton is wonderful as always, as the mad cook. The story line is predictable, but that doesn't matter. Some of the practical jokes played by the children are genius and I only wish I'd had the guts to do stuff like that when I was little!

I would watch this film if you have a house full of kids and it's raining, or if there are no kids around, watch it anyway instead of the eaastenders omnibus - you'll come away with a nice warm feeling.

Bride & Prejudice is funny. It just makes you laugh because it's silly, amusing, full of very pretty people (boys & girls) and a good yarn. A classic tale of course - Jane Austen with a twist. There are several elements I loved about this film - the first was having Wickham walking out the water rather than Darcy - those who saw the BBC Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth will know what I mean!

Another element was the colours used. Such saturated beautiful colours all the way through made for a great overall look.

I did keep thinking of Aishwwarya Rai in the mascara advert, but maybe thats just me...

I would recommened this film if you are in a bad mood and need cheering up or if its really raining and grey outside, the colours will lift your spirit. You know how it's going to end - but that doesn't matter, it's getting there!
