Collision (2009)

This is a Fantastic Story with Fantastic Acting

[10/10 · 16 March 2015]

I'm not going to describe what's going on in the film because others have but I must say this is a keeper.

I bought the DVD and have seen it 5 times now.

Of course it's easy to watch Douglas Henshall... any time especially his voice.. whew...

Story line is believable and the writing is top notch. Incredible film.

I have a friend who has trouble hearing things, so I turned on the closed captions . . makes it easier to understand words not familiar to us folks over across the pond from the UK.

Top marks, y'all. It's really a great show. Thank you

The 39 Steps (2008 TV Movie)

I LIKED this movie!

[9/10 · 20 February 2015]

The film was very entertaining (loved the homage to Hitchcock) and great to watch.

I not going to write a synopsis but it was enjoyable. I've purchased a DVD and have watched it 5 times.

Each time I've watched it, there is something new I saw: for instance, the heroine, who was driving, left the car running when they ran up the stairs to go back to the castle to search for the 39 Steps :)

Masterpiece Theatre has great stories to offer. Each time the Masterpiece comes on, I have to watch in case it's something really interesting that catches my "fancy". This one did!

The setting is in England first, but moves to Scotland - home of my great grandparents. The scenery is beautiful and looks VERY cold since some of the exterior shots show their breath as the actors talk. I loved the train scenes - especially the ventriloquist and "dummy" who helped the Hero escape the police.

All in all, it's a great trip of story line to whisk a person away from daily trials and mean people.
