Monarch of the Glen DVD
1 of 1 found this helpful Leave it to the BBC to produce treasures like this. An ongoing BBC series where you just have to see what happens next.
The series reminds me of Northern Exposure but with a Scottish twist.
Full of eccentric characters dealing with the ups and downs of trying to keep a 400 year old Scottish castle from going under in the 21st century.
If you need to take a break from your busy life and get some comical relief this series will get you there.

The Ninth Gate (2000, DVD)
1 of 1 found this helpful A true Roman Polanski thriller well done and Johnny Depp delivers again a great performance as a rare books wheeler dealer Corso.
I mainly purchased this movie because I fell in love with the musical score written by Wojciech Kilar. His use of prominent bass and celli create a thick, luxurious mood that soothes and almost disturbs.
The main theme "Vocalise" permeates the entire score and is used at credits end,
performed by the brilliant soprano Sumi Jo, is absolutely sublime.
To all the movie soundtrack enthusiasts out there, I highly recommend the CD as well as the movie. You will not be disappointed.
