The characters in The Pickwick Papers were truly brought to life by a superb ensemble of British actors, especially when you compare them to the original illustrations! The film does an excellent job of condensing Dickens very detailed novel. You have to remember that this was written in 1837. The language & interactions are of the time. The essential, beautiful & timeless message is there for those who want to hear & understand it. The World would be a far better place with more Samuel Pickwicks in it!

I finally got round to watching this after been repeatedly told how good this is! It's never too late to enjoy a consumate thriller & you are involved from the opening frame to the finale. I really wonder why people reviewing this are more worried about trivial plot holes & just don't enjoy what is unfolding before them! You can sit back but you won't relax as you watch a hero on screen that you wish really exists in real life! The Equalizer is superb!! By the way, the recognition of this film has been from audience votes rather than critics. So if you live in the real everyday world you'll get this film! Also I'm over 60 & my son's friends in their 20s and 30s love The Equalizer too!!

Simply the best Family Fantasy Romance Movie ever made! The 2 Oscar wins & multiple nominations should be a indicator to watch this really beautiful & FUN experience. An extremely strong cast, (Beatty & Christie are far too beautiful as a couple!) alongside an imaginative script brings you into a World where 'Good overcomes evil' without being clubbed over the head in telling the story! Unless you're made of stone, you will laugh & cry, but will be left with a warm feeling that lingers long after the final scene has ended. The memorable moments are complimented by the excellent theme music of Dave Grusin, that's the best of earworm sound! Mainstream UK schedulers need to take a long look at themselves, as we approach another Superbowl Final & I couldn't think of a better way to enjoy the build up to that, than to watch this masterpiece of a Family Movie!

The previous review by Heather, share my thoughts exactly about this ongoing true story! If you're reading this Jack Black, don't take it personally, but I normally switch off when you're on screen. BUT without doubt this is the best role you've ever portrayed! You should have least been nominated for an Oscar!! You completely nailed this fascinating man, that to this day is what we call in the UK "Marmite", you either love or hate him, there's no middle ground! I suggest watch this unique film first, before ready the whole true story & only then make any judgement on Bernie Tiede!!

The only reason I can't give this 5 stars is there's a 'stop the bomber time travel' involved in the otherwise very strong, unique & superb plot! (I refer to Source Code re bomber). You can work out the WHOLE concept if you stick with it, so don't be put off watching this VERY BRAVE FILM, just because some people don't get it in more ways than one! It's not what you expect from the usual format of a time travel Movie, but should be seen because of it's original perspective.

Catweazle is a sweet, innocent, brilliantly acted & scripted gem that is still on our TV screens over 50 years later! I lament that TV producers have abandoned this format for in your face, crash, bang wallop garbage that suffocates children's ability to have an imagination! There is footage on YouTube of the participants filmed in the year 2000, that portrays why you can't fake excellent on screen chemistry! Geoffrey Balydon turned down Dr Who (whilst out of work for a long time!) because of the under lying violence & the prospect of scaring children! He would have been the best Dr Who ever, but we would have never seen him as Catweazle which he made his own entirely & robbed us of a TV legend! Rumours have it that McKenzie Crook is being lined up for a film version of Catweazle, but that's not fair, as it would be like following Sean Connery as James Bond! There's a German version with the stunning lookalike Otto Waalkes who looks to have done an breathtaking updated version. UK TV INVESTORS & PRODUCERS, HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME, YOU HAVE MISSED A TRICK!! What is amazing, Geoffrey Bayldon was 46 years old in 1970 & with basic makeup, unique language & body movement, convinced the viewer that he was at least 30 years older! The energetic theme music is library piece called Busy Boy (by Ted Dicks) & the accompanying classy incidental melodies dovetail perfectly to immerse you into 30 minutes of escapism! It's currently on Talking Pictures TV, who have a knack for bringing to screen, TV Programmes & films that deserves being reminded of & shown to a new, younger audiences that would appreciate a change from the norm! I call on thee to watch Catweazle! Sunandum! Hurandos! Salmay Dalmay Adonay! ENJOY!!
