  Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger) is a 30-something single woman who lives in London, works in the publishing industry, and worries about not finding success–both romantically and professionally. After being snubbed by Mark (Colin Firth), Bridget begins writing in her diary about trying to cut back on wine, cigarettes, and men. She begins getting sexy e-mails from her boss Daniel (Hugh Grant) and meets him for dinner. Daniel tells her that he and Mark went to college together, and Mark seduced his fiancee. Later, Bridget runs across Mark again, he expresses an interest in her, and now both men compete for Bridget's attention. Zellweger excels in her role of the biologically ticking Bridget, and she received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

When the skull turns up missing and the townsfolk begin to disappear or act strangely, the indications are that the creature has returned.

Poster Art From art.comThe Phantom of the Opera   1983     2 and a half stars    TV, 100 min.
Genre: Drama / Horror
Director: Robert Markowitz  
Cast: Maximilian Schell, Jane Seymour, Michael York, Jeremy Kemp, Diana Quick, Ferenc Beganyi, Pal Kovacs, Philip Stone, Paul Brooke, Andras Miko, Gellert Raksanyi, Laszlo Nemeth, Jeno Kis, Laszlo Soos, Denes Ujlaky

  This classic story is brought to TV with several deviations from the original story–a major one being that it is set in Budapest rather than Paris. After orchestra leader Sandor's (Maximilian Schell) singer wife (Jane Seymour) receives a bad review and commits suicide, Sandor gets into a fight with the critic (Philip Stone) and is burned with acid. Sandor takes refuge beneath the opera house, and five years later emerges as the masked Phantom. He falls in love with chorus girl Maria Gianelli (also played by Seymour) who greatly resembles his dead wife. Maria is in love with the director of the opera, Michael Hartnell (Michael York), but the Phantom tutors Maria and terrorizes the cast and all those who stand in the way of Maria's stardom. Good cast and scenery.
