Amazing Movie!

Advantages: Its a good family film.
Disadvantages: Very old grammar, hard for children to understand at times.

I absolutely loved this movie! It completely captured the feel of the book "Sense and Sensibility." I was watching it with my 20 year old cousin, and even he enjoyed it, which was unusual! It was sort of a depressing movie at times, but overall outstanding. It is a great movie to watch with the family and may bring you to tears. The actors and actresses were all cast beautifully. I think that Kate Winslet is an excellent actress and played the role ...

Sensible Viewing

Advantages: great film piece
Disadvantages: quite long winded

...the characters. I feel that Sense and Sensibility presents all these things to the audience. There is love, heartbreak, humour and great music. (my applause to Kate Winslet for her unforgettable versions of "Weep You No More Sad Fountains" and "The Dream" ...so beautiful.) If you have not seen this movie, please go RIGHT now to rent it...or even ADD it to your video library! I must say it is well worth it! And if you have seen it. ....you know what ...

A Love Less Ordinary

Advantages: Wonderful direction, script and acting
Disadvantages: None really -perhaps a tiny bit confusing at times re: new characters

...when Strachey first spotted Dora Carrington he asked Virginia who the "ravishing young man" was, so much did she resemble a boy with her short hair and slim figure. The two quickly became firm friends and Dora must have had a profound effect on Strachey as, while out on a country walk he impulsively kissed her. These early episodes are depicted in the opening scenes of "Carrington" and beautifully portray an intense relationship between the two. ...
...These situations are difficult for Carrington and Strachey themselves, as well as for their lovers. Strachey mainpulates Carrington into marrying one of her lovers, Rex Partridge (Steven Waddington); he tells her that she must do it or risk forfeiting their relationship and as she does so many times, she scarifices her wants and wishes so that she does not lose Strachey. Strachey is rather taken by Rex and persuades him to change his name to Ralph. ...

Nothing much wrong with this do!

Advantages: Cinematography, stellar cast, faithfulness to original
Disadvantages: Keanu Reeves' wooden villain

...to teach the story of Much Ado About Nothing to traditionally disinterested 13 year -old SATs students. Though, it sticks ridgidly to the original text it does so in a way that makes the text come alive using a combination of excellent acting, high production values and judiciously selected moments of slapstick. The comic moments are genuinely funny and the shoes of the relatively small parts of Dogberry and Verges are filled impressively by the ...
...am sure this joke owes much to Monty Python). Indeed the cast list is of the highest calibre from Shakespearean veterans such as Kenneth Brannagh to Hollywood A-listers in the form of Kate Beckinsdale. Keanu Reeves is typically wooden and Claudio has the charisma of a comatose gnat but there are the only real smudges on this multi-faceted diamond! The story of 'Much Ado' is fairly easy to follow but it gives you a chance to enjoy the word play ...

NORTH AND SOUTH SERIES/BOOK 1

Advantages: LOVE
Disadvantages: WAR

...story is based around the North and the South and two friends who meet at West Point (army). Orry Main - Patrick Swayze and George Hazzard (James Read.) Over the years they become very close friends, but unfortunately George does not agree with slavery which, and Orry's family have slaves. George's sister Vergina is totally against it, and unfortunately it tears a wedge between them, although he doesn't agree with what Orry's family does, he has ...
...story line is and the North and South, and friends one lives in the North and one lives in the South. It is also a love story to it. I would recommend this book one I have not yet watched book 11 but as soon as I do I will let you no what I think. If you are a Patrick Swayze Fan I recommended even more he looks really nice, in this and he is only young. ...
