5 out of 5 stars Great Trip Down Memory Lane.......2003-05-03

I'm probably a little bias because in my eyes Eternal are the greatest group ever, and they're first album, Always and Forever was the best they made, but I thought this video was great. I only bought it recently having been a fan for the past 10 years since I was a child and it was so nice to see the 4 girls together again. Also, as I was so young at the time, despite knowing every track off by heart because I have the album, I couldn't remember any of their early videos so it was interesting to see. This video comprises of 5 videos, Stay, Oh Baby I, Save Our Love, Just A Step From Heaven & So Good (My favourite track) along with two amazing live performances of Amazing Grace & I'll Be There and clips of their renditions Of Nobody Knows & So Strong. In between songs, there are also clips of their visits to Japan, America & New Zealand, behind the scenes footage of the Just A Step From Heaven video, photoshoots & an interview with the girls. I would recommend this video to all Eternal fans everywhere and also to anyone who fancies a trip down memory lane back to the early-mid ninetees to remember the great music and not so great fasions!!

5 out of 5 stars An excellent interview.......2000-09-16

This is a chance to see the girls (Easther, Vernie and Kelle) doing the things that interest them e.g Rollerblading. You also get to see the bennet family (Easther and Vernie's family). This video gives a humorous and at the same time serious look at the past eight years of the life of britains most successful R 'n' B Group - ETERNAL!

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind [2004] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

Amazon.co.uk Review

Screenwriters rarely develop a distinctive voice that can be recognized from movie to movie, but the ornate imagination of Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) has made him a unique and much-needed cinematic presence. In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a guy decides to have the memories of his ex-girlfriend erased after she's had him erased from her own memory--but midway through the procedure, he changes his mind and struggles to hang on to their experiences together. In other hands, the premise of memory-erasing would become a trashy science-fiction thriller; Kaufman, along with director Michel Gondry, spins this idea into a funny, sad, structurally complex, and simply enthralling love story that juggles morality, identity, and heartbreak with confident skill. The entire cast--Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Wilkinson, and more--give superb performances, carefully pitched so that cleverness never trumps feeling. A great movie. --Bret Fetzer

5 out of 5 stars Perfect.......2008-01-11

I have to say that I absolutely love this film. As the film starts, we witness the breakdown of a relationship, and the resultant consequences of drastic decisions made to overcome this break-up. As the film progresses, we see Joel's (Jim Carrey) and Clementine's (Kate Winslet) relationship unfold, and through this we gain insight into them as individuals and as a couple. I felt the cinematography was first class, and the music score simply divine.
I was taken aback by Jim Carrey and his portrayal as Joel, his turn at serious acting was fantastic, and he really gave his character life, although there was one scene where he nearly turned back into the Carrey we've come to expect.
This film gives insight into relationships, experience, and the nature of mind itself. At times, the score and screenplay come together to create breathtaking moments which are pure poetry, almost becoming a study of single snapshots of the couple's life.
I can't recommend this film enough, although I can see that it wouldn't be to everyone's tastes, for me, it was perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Simply wonderful.......2008-01-01

This film is simply beautiful. Each frame looks like it could be printed and sold as a fine art photograph. The acting is amazing from Kate (Well what did you expect?) And I was shocked by how Carrey has tamed his wild personality to play an exceptional, one might say career defining role as the shy, musing; Joel Barish.
This film is simply a joy to watch. Clementine and Joel a prime example of the phrase `opposites attract' in this case it seems to be a Ying-yang situation. She is just what he needs to break out of his shell, and He is just what she needs to be tamed.
The story line, while confusing to begin with, is engaging and original. And, like any good film, I was satisfied with the ending, whilst still wanting more. I went through a full range of emotions, from the joy of watching their relationship blossom, to the anger and disappointment as it fell apart.
I recommend this film to any devotee of fine cinema.

5 out of 5 stars Eternal pleasure.......2007-11-05

Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's better-received Being John Malkovich was an amusing but cold oddity; director Michel Gondry's Science of Sleep was not particularly amusing and sickly cute. Sandwiched between was this loving, subtly cautionary romantic 'dramedy' about a young man, Joel (Jim Carrey), undergoing a fantastical scientific operation to remove all memory of his ex-girlfriend, the eccentric Clementine (Kate Winslet). The procedure draws him deep into his subconscious, and we're invited along for the ride. This second collaboration between Kaufman and Gondry (after 2001's Human Nature) has deservedly become something of a cult favourite.

Forget Garden State: while Eternal Sunshine shares a desire to explore the truth behind the human condition through a skewed fish-eye lens, it is mercifully free of that film's cloying sentimentality, its narcissism, and its contempt for a mainline predefined as banal. In Garden State, people are kooky but phoney, shallow and self-absorbed; Eternal Sunshine's Joel, meanwhile, is powerless against his absorption into the strange fearful passions of his dreams. With impressive psychological literacy, Kaufman and Gondry's film shows us the selfishness of human desire and are - crucially - critical of it. Hollywood loves nothing more than to make lovers of ill-suited characters thrown together by circumstance. Not so here: the joy of watching Joel and Clementine's relationship blossom - and fade - is that it is a product of choice as much as chance, and so it is believable.

Winslet puts in a signature performance; her Clementine is the extrovert to Carrey's Joel. Carrey, meanwhile, scribbles out his signature entirely: nary a mug passes across his face. His is a soulful turn of poise and intelligence.

Eternal Sunshine finds its home on DVD - by the third or fourth viewing you should have the fractured narrative pretty much sussed. Plus, it's ideal night-in viewing: warm, friendly, funny, and profound. In a cynical and ironic era, it's heartening to watch a film that finds love so alive and so precious. A classic.

i am a big Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet fan but omg what the hell was this film all about

5 out of 5 stars A film of breathtaking scope.......2007-10-18

'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' is one of those rare, rare films that can do so much to you in under two hours and leave you with the sense that you have seen a truly great film. It is satisfying in every possible way: from Gondry's exquisite and poetic direction, to the tender performances that will enchant and captivate.

Charlie Kaufman arguably delivers his finest script here, concerning the tale of a shy man (a career best performance from Jim Carrey) who becomes caught up in a passionate relationship with the free-spirited and flaky Kate Winslet. When it all ends badly, Carrey's character, Joel, undertakes a revolutionary procedure to eradicate the memories of his true love. This then becomes a surrealist battle between Joel and his unconscious when, after realising his mistake, he tries to stop the procedure from going ahead.

There simply isn't the room here to explain what makes this film so damn good but damn good it is and is bound to make an impact on most of those who watch it. The film's message that our memories and minds are what connects us to others is never preached or simplified and the viewer is very much allowed to take this journey into Joel's conflict on their own terms. There are also several undertones about contemporary relationships, alienation and psychology for those who wish to look for them but this film is equally as potent on an immediate level. The chemistry between Carrey and Winslet (also in her finest role) is beautiful and honest and the stellar supporting cast deliver the goods with humour and pathos.

An utter delight and a film that is sure to fire the heart and the mind more than most could ever hope to do.

            Amazon.co.uk Review

            Screenwriters rarely develop a distinctive voice that can be recognized from movie to movie, but the ornate imagination of Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation) has made him a unique and much-needed cinematic presence. In Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a guy decides to have the memories of his ex-girlfriend erased after she's had him erased from her own memory--but midway through the procedure, he changes his mind and struggles to hang on to their experiences together. In other hands, the premise of memory-erasing would become a trashy science-fiction thriller; Kaufman, along with director Michel Gondry, spins this idea into a funny, sad, structurally complex, and simply enthralling love story that juggles morality, identity, and heartbreak with confident skill. The entire cast--Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Wilkinson, and more--give superb performances, carefully pitched so that cleverness never trumps feeling. A great movie. --Bret Fetzer

            5 out of 5 stars Perfect.......2008-01-11

            I have to say that I absolutely love this film. As the film starts, we witness the breakdown of a relationship, and the resultant consequences of drastic decisions made to overcome this break-up. As the film progresses, we see Joel's (Jim Carrey) and Clementine's (Kate Winslet) relationship unfold, and through this we gain insight into them as individuals and as a couple. I felt the cinematography was first class, and the music score simply divine.
            I was taken aback by Jim Carrey and his portrayal as Joel, his turn at serious acting was fantastic, and he really gave his character life, although there was one scene where he nearly turned back into the Carrey we've come to expect.
            This film gives insight into relationships, experience, and the nature of mind itself. At times, the score and screenplay come together to create breathtaking moments which are pure poetry, almost becoming a study of single snapshots of the couple's life.
            I can't recommend this film enough, although I can see that it wouldn't be to everyone's tastes, for me, it was perfect.

            5 out of 5 stars Simply wonderful.......2008-01-01

            This film is simply beautiful. Each frame looks like it could be printed and sold as a fine art photograph. The acting is amazing from Kate (Well what did you expect?) And I was shocked by how Carrey has tamed his wild personality to play an exceptional, one might say career defining role as the shy, musing; Joel Barish.
            This film is simply a joy to watch. Clementine and Joel a prime example of the phrase `opposites attract' in this case it seems to be a Ying-yang situation. She is just what he needs to break out of his shell, and He is just what she needs to be tamed.
            The story line, while confusing to begin with, is engaging and original. And, like any good film, I was satisfied with the ending, whilst still wanting more. I went through a full range of emotions, from the joy of watching their relationship blossom, to the anger and disappointment as it fell apart.
            I recommend this film to any devotee of fine cinema.

            5 out of 5 stars Eternal pleasure.......2007-11-05

            Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's better-received Being John Malkovich was an amusing but cold oddity; director Michel Gondry's Science of Sleep was not particularly amusing and sickly cute. Sandwiched between was this loving, subtly cautionary romantic 'dramedy' about a young man, Joel (Jim Carrey), undergoing a fantastical scientific operation to remove all memory of his ex-girlfriend, the eccentric Clementine (Kate Winslet). The procedure draws him deep into his subconscious, and we're invited along for the ride. This second collaboration between Kaufman and Gondry (after 2001's Human Nature) has deservedly become something of a cult favourite.

            Forget Garden State: while Eternal Sunshine shares a desire to explore the truth behind the human condition through a skewed fish-eye lens, it is mercifully free of that film's cloying sentimentality, its narcissism, and its contempt for a mainline predefined as banal. In Garden State, people are kooky but phoney, shallow and self-absorbed; Eternal Sunshine's Joel, meanwhile, is powerless against his absorption into the strange fearful passions of his dreams. With impressive psychological literacy, Kaufman and Gondry's film shows us the selfishness of human desire and are - crucially - critical of it. Hollywood loves nothing more than to make lovers of ill-suited characters thrown together by circumstance. Not so here: the joy of watching Joel and Clementine's relationship blossom - and fade - is that it is a product of choice as much as chance, and so it is believable.

            Winslet puts in a signature performance; her Clementine is the extrovert to Carrey's Joel. Carrey, meanwhile, scribbles out his signature entirely: nary a mug passes across his face. His is a soulful turn of poise and intelligence.

            Eternal Sunshine finds its home on DVD - by the third or fourth viewing you should have the fractured narrative pretty much sussed. Plus, it's ideal night-in viewing: warm, friendly, funny, and profound. In a cynical and ironic era, it's heartening to watch a film that finds love so alive and so precious. A classic.

            1 out of 5 stars maybe i did not get it.......2007-10-21

            i am a big Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet fan but omg what the hell was this film all about

            maybe give this a miss and rent instead at your peril

            5 out of 5 stars A film of breathtaking scope.......2007-10-18

            'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' is one of those rare, rare films that can do so much to you in under two hours and leave you with the sense that you have seen a truly great film. It is satisfying in every possible way: from Gondry's exquisite and poetic direction, to the tender performances that will enchant and captivate.

            Charlie Kaufman arguably delivers his finest script here, concerning the tale of a shy man (a career best performance from Jim Carrey) who becomes caught up in a passionate relationship with the free-spirited and flaky Kate Winslet. When it all ends badly, Carrey's character, Joel, undertakes a revolutionary procedure to eradicate the memories of his true love. This then becomes a surrealist battle between Joel and his unconscious when, after realising his mistake, he tries to stop the procedure from going ahead.

            There simply isn't the room here to explain what makes this film so damn good but damn good it is and is bound to make an impact on most of those who watch it. The film's message that our memories and minds are what connects us to others is never preached or simplified and the viewer is very much allowed to take this journey into Joel's conflict on their own terms. There are also several undertones about contemporary relationships, alienation and psychology for those who wish to look for them but this film is equally as potent on an immediate level. The chemistry between Carrey and Winslet (also in her finest role) is beautiful and honest and the stellar supporting cast deliver the goods with humour and pathos.

            An utter delight and a film that is sure to fire the heart and the mind more than most could ever hope to do.
