The Blackwater Lightship (2004)
Generations of brilliance
The Blackwater Lightship is a rare television treat. Having read the book i was spectacle to view this production. However this film is rare as it exceeds the brilliance of the book. Acting legend and Oscar winner Dianne Wiest is the bravest performer in the film. Her character Lily is cold yet for Wiest to portray this from her usual loving characters is extraordinary. You feel a closer bond with Dianne's character than any other. Angela Lansbury gives the funniest performance as Dora, the mad grandmother. A true treat to see her. Gina McKee however has the support of the audience in battling with her mother and grandmother and loosing her brother to AIDS. Its rare to see the portrayal of three women who has loose connections with one another to be shown in such a sentimental and loving way. A true classic! The three generations of actresses are magnificent and this film will be viewed as a brilliant portrayal of the affects AIDS has on a family.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Mysterious and Spooky
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is by far the greatest film in the Harry Potter franchise.Spooky and Mysterious, a lot darker than the two previous attempts. However brilliant acting from Dan Radcliff and Emma Watson. Note about Rupert Grint: He definitely has a talent for comedy. Brill acting from Dame Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman. Also new cast members were brilliant, notably Emma Thompson as spooky Professor Trelawny and David Thewlis as Professor Lupin. However the Dursleys part was underrated. Richard Grifitths and Fiona Shaw should have had more screen time. In all a brill movie.Best book and best movie matched together. A treat for all true Potter fans!!!
