North & South (2004)

A Stunningly Romantic Vision of Repressed Love

[10/10 · 19 August 2005]

This recent 2004 BBC production of Elizabeth Gaskell's North & South is a stunningly romantic vision of repressed love between two charmingly stubborn people and introduces Richard Armitage as the broodingly handsome John Thornton. Mr. Armitage breathes fiery life into this magnificent character, in turn creating for himself a legion of adoring fans around the world, demanding the release of a DVD by the BBC. Aided by an excellent cast, the story unfolds in a mesmerizing and totally addictive manner, with an unforgettable soundtrack, drawing the viewer back again and again to relive the experience. You will not be disappointed in this movie.

House of Frankenstein (1997)

Similar to Kindred The Embraced

[10/10 · 11 February 2002]

Anyone who liked Kindred The Embraced should like this mini-series. I found the themes to be somewhat similar and really enjoyed both shows. The acting and story line were very professional and interesting. I consider House of Frankenstein 1997 to be a 'keeper' and have waited impatiently for several years for it to be released to the public.
