Thandie Newton

The Truth About Charlie (including with original movie 'Charade')
$9.99
The Truth About Charlie is watchable and entertaining with very good digital transfer. The original Charade, which is offered on the same disk, is an excellent film and its quality on this DVD is good.

Flirting
$14.98
Young Thandie and Nicole in a boring movie. If you are collecting movies about either actress leave this one out. I would have given it one star but seeing the two acting together is a two star novelty.

Jefferson in Paris
$14.99
So I'm the first in 2009 to review this long dead movie. Well, it doesn't deserve to die, it should become a classic. I know a little bit about Jefferson and his beliefs and relationships and I say the film portrays this enigmatic man very much as he was, which should be something to cheer about. If the movie were done by anyone other than James Ivory, the makers would cast Leonardo Decapprio or some other unsuitable young turkey and turn him into a rake about town to sell more tickets to teenies.

A second cheer goes to Nick Nolte, who had the courage to underplay the quiet, seemingly unemotional Jefferson--who would write some of the greatest love letters history has given us. Go figure. And that is our task. If we try to understand the contradictions in Jefferson, perhaps we will make progress in understanding ourselves. One of history's greatest exponents of individual freedom owned slaves. The man who believed religious freedom should be a basic right kept his daughter from following her conscience and becoming a Catholic. The man who vowed to remain true to his departed wife had a long term relationship with a slave girl.

I thought Jefferson's love of Maria Cosway was perfectly played. Can our oversexed, jump-into-bed-at-the-first-hint-of-attraction society comprehend a platonic love relationship? Here is another dimension to human nature that is never explored in the popular culture.

The sets, costumes and general ambience deserve the third cheer. You really get the feeling of being in Paris was in those trying times.

If you want your movie fantasies to contain chases, explosions and sex scenes, head on down to the local multiplex. If you want history and human nature as it really was and is, buy this movie.
