"SLEEPING MURDER" (2006) Review

I might as well say it. The 1976 novel, "Sleeping Murder" is one of my favorites written by mystery writer, Agatha Christie. In fact, it is such a big favorite of mine that when I learned about the recent 2006 adaptation that aired on Britain's ITV network, I made a great effort to find it on DVD. ( Collapse )

"AN IDEAL WOMAN" (1999) Review

I have a confession. I have not seen that many adaptations of Oscar Wilde's plays and novels. And it has been quite a while since I viewed my last adaptation, namely the 1999 film, "AN IDEAL HUSBAND". I was surprised to discover that this 1999 movie was not the first adaptation of Wilde's 1895 stage play. There have been other adaptations - including four other films and several radio productions. But this is the only adaptation I have ever seen. ( Collapse )

Below is a gallery of images from "AN IDEAL HUSBAND", the 1999 adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 1895 play. Adapted and directed by Oliver Parker, the movie starred Rupert Everett, Cate Blanchett, Jeremy Northam, Minnie Driver and Julianne Moore: ( Collapse )

"DANIEL DERONDA" (2002) Review

With the exception of the 1994 miniseries, "MIDDLEMARCH", I am not that familiar with any movie or television adaptations of George Eliot's works. I finally decided to overlook my earlier lack of interest in Eliot's final novel, "Daniel Deronda" and watch the television version that aired back in 2002. ( Collapse )

Below are images from "DANIEL DERONDA", the 2002 television adaptation of George Eliot's 1876 novel. The miniseries starred Hugh Dancy, Romola Garai and Hugh Bonneville: ( Collapse )

"THE GOLDEN BOWL" (2000) Review

I have never read any of Henry James' literary works. Never. However, I have seen a few adaptations of his works. Some of them had been adapted by the production team of Ishmail Merchant and James Ivory. Aside from E.M. Forster, they must have been diehard fans of James. They had produced three adaptations of James' novels, including the 2000 film, "THE GOLDEN BOWL". ( Collapse )

Below is a gallery featuring photos from Merchant-Ivory's 2000 movie called, "THE GOLDEN BOWL". Based upon Henry James' 1904 novel, the movie starred Uma Thurman, Jeremy Northam, Kate Beckinsale and Nick Nolte: ( Collapse )
