I wasn't expecting to get these done quite so soon, especially as I've only just added the Othello gallery, but this evening I screencapped the Freeze Frame DVD and managed to get one-hundred-and-fifteen caps of the lovely Rachael Stirling. :) Before clicking on the link to visit the gallery, please be warned that the last page contains some screencaps of a violent nature, which some fans may find disturbing. If you've seen the film, though, you probably know what to expect. It's nothing too graphic; worry not. Needless to say, the gallery contains spoilers, too.

I can't really say what updates are planned for the near future, because I'm honestly not sure! Obviously the Miss Marple episode will be screencapped when we get the DVDs next month, but apart from that, I don't know of any upcoming projects of Rachael's save for those mentioned in the news section. Does anyone know anything about this film called The Truth? We haven't been able to find anything about it online, except for some basic information about the cast and crew.

Enjoy the new screencaps!

Othello screencaps

Today I finally got around to screencapping the DVD of Othello, the 2002 made-for-TV movie in which Rachael Stirling stars alongside Keeley Hawes, Eamonn Walker, and Christopher Eccleston. There are fifty-seven screencaps in total. :) Sorry for taking so long to get these done; I know I've been promising them for quite a long time now!

In other news, the release date for the Marple DVD boxset has unfortunately been put back by a month since I last updated. The set should now be released on March 7th, all being well, and the cheapest place we've found it so far appears to be DVDPopcorn, where it is retailing for £20.25 with free postage and packaging. We had planned to put our recording of Marple onto DVD-R and take the screencaps from that, but instead, we've decided to wait until the release of the DVDs before doing any screencapping.

Our copy of Freeze Frame arrived a few days ago, and we watched it together on Wednesday evening. I must admit that I was a little worried about the film after reading so many poor reviews, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The storyline had me gripped from the start (which is a big achievement in itself!) and although the plot was, at times, a tad far-fetched, it was nonetheless a very enjoyable film with a very good cast. Obviously I'm biased, but I thought Rachael was on top form acting-wise, at the same time as looking incredibly sexy. The ending was a little… shall we say, unpleasant, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment of the film.

Freeze Frame screencaps will be coming soon! ;)

Freeze Frame DVD

Just a quick reminder that Freeze Frame, the 2004 film in which Rachael Stirling starred with Lee Evans, is out on DVD today, at least in the UK. Claire and I haven't actually seen it yet, because it was only shown for one day at our local cinema (how silly is that?) and one of us happened to be ill that day. Typical. ;) But, needless to say, we pre-ordered our copy of the DVD and it should be here any day now. We will of course be providing screencaps at some point in the near future.

You can buy the DVD online for between £9.74-£9.99 at the following places:

Amazon.co.uk — £9.74 (plus P+P)
Choices Direct — £9.74 (free P+P)
Play.com — £9.99 (free P+P)

There is also some evidence of this film having been released in the USA on January 18th, but I'm not really sure how widely available it is:

Amazon.com — $22.48 (plus P+P)

We bought ours from Play.com, for convenience's sake. I'm looking forward to seeing it!

Rachael Stirling on The Frank Skinner Show

The Frank Skinner Show clip

We recorded the Rachael interview on The Frank Skinner Show on Friday night, and have now put the video of it on the site for download. The show originally aired in October 2002, therefore the main topic of conversation is Tipping the Velvet. We also made a number of screencaps from the DVD recording, which can be found in the screencaps galleries.

The interview is definitely worth a watch, as Rachael is slightly drunk and quite funny, too. Hope it works for everyone!
