Black Narcissus (DVD)

He has found it subtly changed, with his parents happily married, rather than putting up with each other as they were at the beginning of the first movie.

Movie description In the first movie we saw Marty travel back in time to 1955, unwittinly interfer with his Mother and Father meeting for the time, so they don't fall in and love, and making his mother fall in love with him instead, so having to fix that, and try to figure out a way (with the much younger Doc Brown) of getting back to 1985.

What’s it about:? ---------------------- Marty McFly must visit 2015 to stop his son committing a crime which will destroy his family.

These include the 1985 version of himself, the 2015 older version of himself, the 2015 version of his own son and (most unnerving of all) the 2015 ...  Read the complete review

With increasingly regularity I find myself ostracised from my own living room. I refuse to watch shows like 'Location, Location' so when my partner puts them on I decide to do something else. It seems to me that there are loads of these shows and if a new series is not on then one of the channels will be showing repeats. After you have seen a couple of episodes you have seen them all.

Introduction This is not a film that I was particularly interested in watching - the title is odd and the idea of nuns trying to convert natives with their own religion does not appeal in the slightest. However, I watched it once years ago when there was nothing else on the TV and was delighted to have the opportunity to see it again recently. Based on the novel by Rumer Godden, it is a quite extraordinary film with excellent actors such as Deborah Kerr and Jean Simmons with breathtaking cinematography that adds to the rather supernatural atmosphere perfectly. This is a film that should be much better known and valued than it is. The ...  Read the complete review
