Gone With The Wind (DVD) Reviews

It is a really good film though, ...  Read the complete review

This film, is an amazing triumph to the motion picture industry. Books turned into movies, tend to be disasters in the making, but if length of the movie is longer than an average movie, the detail from the novel is not so short from perfect.

What I would like to do, before telling you why this rancid terrible film is really not worth your time, is to suggest five things you could do instead of watching it. I should tell you that it is on ITV on Sunday 30th December at 3.15pm. ITV have cut it in half and are showing the second half ...  Read the complete review
