Movies starring Pam Ferris

Matilda (1996)

98 mins     Comedy, Family, Fantasy      

Having never been a big reader I don't think I have ever read a Roald Dahl book which may explain why that some of those which have been made into movies have done little for me. There was always "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate ...

Death to Smoochy (2002)

109 mins     Comedy, Crime, Drama      

"Death to Smoochy" aims to be a dark comedy about children's television, a biting satire behind the scenes full of commercialism and secret dealings. And in many ways it is as we have presenters taking back handers, producers...

Pollyanna (2003)

99 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

My only previous encounter with Eleanor H. Porter's novel is from watching the 1960 Disney version of "Pollyanna" with Hayley Mills and Jane Wyman. Now whilst the story is basically the same there is some noticeable differenc...

In 2004 Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright who all worked on TV series "Spaced" gave us "Shaun of the Dead" the funny zombie comedy. In that same year Doon Mackichan, Fiona Allen and Sally Phillips who all appeared in "S...

Some people were born to be on stage others weren't, I was one of those others which leads me to one of my traumatic childhood memories, appearing in the school's nativity play. I only did it once, the experience of being a w...

The Raven (2012)

110 mins     Crime, Mystery, Thriller      

I believe that Edgar Allan Poe is part of the education system in America in the same way in Britain we had to read Shakespeare. But when I was at school in Britain I know for certain we didn't read Poe, in fact whilst I am s...

Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger! (2012)

105 mins     Comedy      

Oh dear, this could be one of the shortest reviews I have ever written as sadly "Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger!" is not good. Unfortunately this sequel becomes the Marc Wootton show with him going over the top in the daft ...

Ethel & Ernest (2016)

94 mins     Animation, Drama      

I could go on about the plot to "Ethel & Ernest" but it is simply Raymond Briggs' touching homage to his parents and what they went through from getting married and having nothing but a mattress to sleep on in their new home ...
