I just love these BBC dramas. I can escape to a world that's quiet, refined and proper. And make it back in time to use all the luxuries of the modern age.
This is a great cast of actors and actresses. Very well made.

I bought this DVD accidentally. One moment I was looking to buy the DVD Persuasion, and the the next thing I realized I had ordered Sense & Sensibility. SO far I haven't decided what to do with the 2 I ordered.

I am not a fan of Patrick Dempsey in the least. Therefore, he bothered me in this movie. That is the solitary flaw.

Now that I have that said, this is one of the best movies for all of us saps who love something inspirational. Being a teacher, albeit of grade school, this tribute to the book and its authors especially touched me.

The acting is beside the point. Good performances, there you go. It's the story that makes this movie, a story that takes in gang-related kids to tell what is truly going on in their lives and how they feel.

MTV did a great job putting it altogether. The film is poetic, moving, and even cool.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was a great movie. Even the special features are subtitled which is great for deaf folks like me.

Writing a play is a tiresome burden when you don't have the faintest idea what it is going to be about but you need to hand it over real soon. Fortunately, Will Shakespeare finds his muse and the authors of the screenplay also had at least a brief encounter with theirs.
Basically a romantic comedy SIL offers much more that the standard "boy meets girl, boy loses girl" scenario - they present it in a fantastically well rendered setting taking as much as they could from the Swan of the Avon.
A perfect way to spend an afternoon - you get your share of romance, adventure, and literary history (the latter should not be taken at face value, however). Do you need more?

I should acknowledge, first of all, that this is probably my favorite of Shakespeare's plays; therefore, I'm inclined to be biased. Still, I loved this movie.

In particular, I was delighted to see Ben Kingsley as Feste the Jester and was impressed that he could sing so well.

I also really enjoyed the scenes wherein Olivia (Helena Bonham Carter) is being wooed by Viola (Imogen Stubbs) for the Duke (Toby Stephens). I liked the banter and the irony of the first scene in particular.

Great fun for the whole family. The kids will watch it over and over. And you will find yourself watching it with them. Every time! And it seems like every time you will find something new to laugh at. Great movie. 5 stars!
