Minishot review

Aug 26, 2009 22:28

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, ( Read more... )

Wow. The boy on the left is pretty indeed, and I'd imagine he'd be just as pretty minus the Edwardian costumes... :P

Mmm...he is quite dashing. Sometimes, I do wish men still dressed in old-fashioned garb. They just look so damn smart!

I never saw that movie before! But I have seen Jeremy in The Tudors.

Oooh, was he any good? He seems like a decent actor from what I've seen.

Oh, dear! Now I have images in my mind of Mr Knightley and Mr Malfoy... 8-) Never thought about if they look a lot alike, hmmm. But you may be right. Give them similar clothes and hairstyles and it's there. :-)

Haven't seen the film you mention and only seen clips from Mary Lloyd. But that ol' music sure is catchy! It makes you smile and almost makes you want to wink at strangers. ;-) Or at Hot Brit Actors, at least.

makes you smile and almost makes you want to wink at strangers.
Exactly! All that winking and head inclines. I'm actually listening to Marie Lloyd at the moment...

I'm wanting to watch 'Emma' now. Jeremy Northam as Mr Knightley sounds luverly!

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. :)

thymelady August 27 2009, 12:28:46 UTC

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-)

grey_mills August 27 2009, 12:34:18 UTC

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).
