Minishot review

[grey_mills]

The other night, I watched Dean Spanley which was an interesting little movie. The cast was led by Peter O'Toole and Jeremy Northam, the former causing constant hilarity with his goggle-eyed expressions and dry English phrases, while the latter astonishing me with the similarity of his face to that of Jason Isaacs. At times, he looked so like him,

Oh, and by the way - Northam and Isaacs have the same soft spoken quality to their voices. Like silk over steel. Me liiiike! 8-)

What a coincidence! One of my WIP Harry Potter fanfics that I really need to finish is called 'Silk and Steel' as it's to do with Lucius. Isaacs' voice (as well as Northam's) is heavenly to listen to. A bit like RA's, but a bit different. :)

Nothing beats RA's voice! One of his many fabulous attributes... Seriously, that man is well endowed! 8-)

I can recommend Jeremy Northam! He's doing well where ever he turns up! But two special recommendations:

1. The Winslow Boy! Helluva good film!!
2. Possession. Gaaaaahhhh...

He's been in period costume A LOT, that man! :-) But he was a hacker in a film with Sandra Bullock, The Net. Not bad at all! :-)

Though I actually prefered the Emma-version with Mark Strong as Mr Knightley and Kate Beckinsale as Emma. It was written by Andrew Davies, a real period drama writer-guru. 8-)

Oh, Mark Strong... *purrs*

He's another one of my favourites. In fact, him as Septimus in Stardust reminds me a bit of Guy. They both wear the long, black trenchcoats and gallop about on horses looking terribly gallant and deliciously ruthless.

*goes off on one*

I think I need to do some research on Northam and Emma (both versions).

One can never spend too much time on research, it is very important. *looks terriby serious*

Your comparison between Septimus and Guy - sooo true! Loved him there, of course. *swwwwooooooon*
