Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chronicles of Narnia

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: I can't even express how much I loved this movie! It is definiytely the best one so far. I can't wait to see what they do with the next book! I cried and laughed and felt so much more with this movie than the previous ones. You can really see a difference in the acting of the main characters in this film compared to the others. I really don't have much more to say about this one, other than it was great! I want to see it again. :)

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: I can't wait to see this! It looks like it's going to be awesome!! I have all the books, but I'm not sure I've read them all. I suppose I should read through them again.... Anyway, it looks like it's going to be great and I can't wait. That is all. :)

Pride & Prejudice

I saw this movie the day after Thanksgiving. It was great! True to the book and what I think Jane Austen was trying to express. Anyone who plans on seeing this movie should read the book first, but I understand that a lot of people can't get through a Jane Austen book. This version of the book put to film is probably the best so far. I've seen the 1940 version with Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson, which was good if you haven't read the book. It was great to the standards of the 1940s. It was the first version I had ever seen and I thought it was good. Good cast, good script and funny in all the right places. I have also seen the BBC TV version, which was good too. Many Janeites have said that is their favorite version. I guess Colin Firth was okay as Mr. Darcy, but I just didn't get the right feeling for him. Jennifer Ehle was good as Lizzie and it is prbably the most thorough version. I really enjoyed the new film though. It could have been longer, but they covered all the main points. Keira Knightly was really great as Lizzie. I thought she was just right. Matthew MacFadyen was wonderful as Mr. Darcy. Perfect! He expressed just what I pictured Darcy to feel. Wonderful! The rest of the cast was great too! Bingley and Jane were too cute! Caroline, Wickham and Lady Catherine were perfectly terrible! They were great for those parts! Just a wonderful movie that I think everyone should see!

It's been a while!

Since my last post, I turned 21. Nothing much has changed, I didn't go out partying and drinking like most people do. The nuts. The semester is almost over. It's exam week. I got a B+ in Oceanography. WOOHOO! I really didn't care about that class. The others I was worried about. I'm in the process of moving oput of my parents house with my sister. Moving very slowly though. Hopefully we'll be in before Christmas....we'll see. I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. WOOHOO #2!! Thanksgiving was good. The family got along pretty well. Hmm.....I guess that's it.
