I don't like watching the Harry Potter movies though, due to the horrendous acting (only liked Ron Weasley's character but he can be annoying at times). As for Secret Garden, it's fantastic. I've yet to watch the others...will check them out on ebay. :)Josettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16398849417612962089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-62554682667569290142007-04-25T23:16:00.000+01:002007-04-25T23:16:00.000+01:00Drat...dovegreyknitter again!Drat...dovegreyknitter again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-5673291755687512792007-04-25T23:15:00.000+01:002007-04-25T23:15:00.000+01:00Simon I do hope you're doing some revising and not...Simon I do hope you're doing some revising and not watching TV all day long...am I sounding like your mother:-)<BR/>I must do more "watching"...if only I didn't have to ring up a child to tell me how to get the DVD working.dovegreyreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476787364182624719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-89222548282430692272007-04-25T17:43:00.000+01:002007-04-25T17:43:00.000+01:00There was a movie called A Bear Named Winnie that ...There was a movie called <I>A Bear Named Winnie</I> that was based on the true story of a Canadian soldier, enroute to World War I from Winnipeg, who adopts an orphaned bear cub at White River Ontario.

I've been writing about adaptatoins on my blog: Ellen and Jim have a blog, too!<BR/><BR/>I like your choices and see we are on a wave length.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to qualify something you said: you imply the 1995 _P&P_ was almost unique or novel for following Austen's language. Not so. If you really value the 1995 _P&P_ for closely following Austen's language, you might prefer the 1979 _P&P_ -- available in the US nowadays on a DVD (it comes in a packaged set).<BR/><BR/>Weldon really used Austen's language and it comes trippingly off the tongues of all the actors and actresses. Elizabeth Garvie is perfect as Elizabeth Bennet in my view, and the casting for the other parts and subtle acting is very effective. Some is on location too.<BR/><BR/>In fact, Davies was much influenced by Weldon's script.<BR/><BR/>Ellen MoodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-21574050956897811942007-04-25T10:37:00.000+01:002007-04-25T10:37:00.000+01:00Simon - do get hold of a film called The Dead.

I've recently blogged about Oscar and Lucinda -- I thought that was a very good one, and though the ending was somewhat changed I felt it still worked extremely well.harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470091985662379182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-12014493969798792422007-04-25T09:24:00.000+01:002007-04-25T09:24:00.000+01:00Ah, but having fooled everyone that I look like th...Ah, but having fooled everyone that I look like the picture in the top left, I don't want to disabuse people...StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-37634222406180381892007-04-25T08:54:00.000+01:002007-04-25T08:54:00.000+01:00Surely mention of Dame J is reason enough to bring...Surely mention of Dame J is reason enough to bring on that photo we all know and love, the one of you and your best mate Dame J?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-32880426625096489602007-04-25T01:49:00.000+01:002007-04-25T01:49:00.000+01:00I loved Carrington & from what I had read (Dora Ca...I loved Carrington & from what I had read (Dora Carrington's diaries & Frances Partridge's)it was fairly accurate.

Do see Carrington. Believe it or not, it was the first screenplay I read at the start of my story analysis career, way back in 1972. I mmistakenly thought all screenplays would be that good! Was I ever disappointed. But I think you'll like the film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
