Julie Walters

Wedding Gift [VHS]
$9.99
Why only two reviews?

My DVD cover calls it charming, stunning, witty and spirited, all of which are absolutely correct. "Real brilliance," says another. Yep.

Julie Walters and Jim Broadbent are absolutely phenomenal as Diana and Deric. They bring this real-life couple to life so well that all you can do is watch and marvel. Wry wit and genuine warmth. They're positively gripping.

I'm glad I didn't read the DVD jacket, by the way, for its plot spoilers, but I'm guessing you know what happens in the film, somewhat. It doesn't really matter. Some other unexpected things happen, besides which this is very much a character-based film. It had to be.

And guess what? I'm slipping it into my little "keeper" collection to watch again.

Julie Walters: Seriously Funny - An Unauthorised Biography
$12.74
From her BAFTA-winning television work, such as My Beautiful Son, to her big screen debut alongside Michael Caine in Educating Rita, her starring in Billy Elliot (both of which earned her Oscar nominations) and her portrayal of Mrs Weasley in the Harry Potter films, Julie Walters has worked with some of the greatest and most diverse actors and directors in the world today. In December 2005, at the British Comedy Awards, Walters - alongside longtime friend and television comedy partner Victoria Wood - picked up the Outstanding Contribution to Comedy Award. Raised in a strict Catholic family in working class Birmingham, Julie Walters abandoned a nursing course to study drama at Manchester Polytechnic and went on to join the Liverpool Everyman Theatre where she cut her teeth as an actress. Over the next decade, she experienced three marriage proposals, two long-term romances and a period of heavy drinking. At the end of 1984 she met sociology student Grant Roffey and had a daughter Maisie, who was traically diagnosed with luekaemia and had to undergo years of painful chemotherapy. The authors have interviewed friends, teachers and colleagues to skilfully compile the first-ever biography of one of Britain's finest and best-loved actresses.

Strange Relations
$14.98
This is one of my favorite movies. It is a story of a man having grown up rich who never knew he was adopted. So he becomes ill and goes to England to find his Mother. The ending always makes me a bit unhappy, as does not really end, but otherwise I loved it!It stars Paul Reisner and Julia Waters.
