Finding Neverland (2004)
Magical tale of a playwright who has 'never grown up'
An inspiring and enchanting tale of playwright JM Barrie's
inspiration for his play, Peter Pan.
Excellent performances throughout - particularly Depp and
Winslet, although the supporting cast are worthy of the film.
This is a story that wraps you up for its 100 minutes or so and will
transport you to the England of 1904 where it is set and onwards
to Neverland itself.
You will be mesmerised by the story and feel for the characters -
be prepared for one or two tears also as reality is not Neverland.
A fitting tribute for the centenary of Peter Pan - better than the
telegram even.
Surely it will merit awards from both of the academies.
Praying Mantis (1982)
Enthralling & engaging dramatic love story
This engaging dramatic love story was my first taste of the beautiful & captivating Cherie Lunghi. A film which tugs at the heart strings of the viewer and takes them from the thrill & excitement of love to it's deceit and betrayal. This enthralling 2-part movie has kept me returning to view it over 2 decades and I never tire of watching it.
Recommended as an excellent introduction to the charms of Miss Lunghi, with notable performances of Jonathan Pryce and Carmen du Sautoy.
