Casanova (DVD) Reviews

Casanova is a rather lacklustre film that features the man of the title, in a partially true tale about love and lust. Sadly, the love and lust are rather glossy and the acting and direction a bit lacking. Heath Ledger turned in a number of fine performances before his death, but this 2005 role as the renowned seducer Casanova was not ...  Read the complete review

My one piece of advice for someone thinking of buying this film is "don't". I sat through this atrocity for...longer than I care to remember. It stars Heath Ledger.

This does get a bit risque in parts but not too much so, although I thought this one was a bit too sexy for the certificate 12A it was awarded. I wouldn't allow 12 year olds to ...  Read the complete review

Bastardisation! There is nothing more than the men in grey suits in Hollywoodland like to do than bastardise history. Imagine a group of closed door policy, gun loving Americans getting their hands on your beautiful history. They’re not intent on swapping and ruining their own past (as they have so little) so they have to make do with ours. ...  Read the complete review
