Movie Review: quick service
Summary: 5 Stars
I waited way too late to order Christmas presents (the week before Christmas) and I was sure nothing would arrive on time. These two movies arrived in about 5 days. It was great!Movie Review: Best Bonnet Movie Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
You know how the Brits keep churning out these adaptations? Every few years you see yet another Austen film from Masterpiece Theater or the BBC or some studio, with yet another updating of an Austen novel.
Well, I'm announcing it formally right here and now: no more versions of Sense and Sensibility will be needed, because this one can't be exceeded.
This is a truly towering achievement by director Ang Lee and screenwriter/actor Emma Thompson.
The story is fabulous, the cast is superb, the settings and costumes are incredible, but here's the thing: this movie, with it's gorgeous lighting and photography, is simply the most visually beautiful film I've ever seen. You will be stunned when you see the sweeping expanses of the English countryside, the magnificent gardens and walled estates, all lit so carefully and exactingly. The HD version of this film may very well induce multiple screaming orgasms among cinephiles, it will be so spectacular.
A career-defining role for Hugh Grant, who has the self-effacing, sensitive and lovable fumbling schtick down perfectly. Emma is one incredible actress, certainly one of the greatest performers alive today. Alan Rickman is incapable of delivering an uninteresting take on anything he's in, and finally, the luminous Kate, the English Rose, with her flawless, dew-dropped peaches and cream complexion, is Sense personified.
If you don't own this movie, you are losing out big-time. If you don't like English period romances, you have no taste.
Period.
Movie Review: Good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful movie.
I wanted to see Emma Thompson doing something else beside the
Professor she played in the Harry Potter movie. She is really great.
Also, this movie has Professor Snape (alan rickman) and I wanted to see him in something else besides Harry and he is really good in this movie.
The costumes are just great.
Movie Review: On of my favorites!

What is there not to like about this movie? If anyone likes Jane Austen, this is fairly true to the book, without being 5 hours long, not that being that long is a bad thing. Emma Thompson's screenplay is excellent. The character of Elinor properly displays the reticence of the Regency era, and Marianne embodies the new Romanticism that was beginning to emerge at that time. Their younger sister, Margaret, provided the much needed voice that stated the obvious when everyone else pretended it didn't exist. She really helped relieve the tension surrounding the social suppression of the times. The commentaries were excellent, too, and showed why it was so good for a man from Taiwan to have made a film about women in Regency England. You'll have to buy the DVD and listen to the commentaries to see what I mean. Hearing Emma Thompson's acceptance speech at the Golden Globe Awards was almost enough by itself.Movie Review: Sense & Sensibility

I love this movie version best of all the ones I own. Delightful story re passions held inside and those laid bare for all to see. Superior acting. True to original novel.
