"EMILY BRONTE'S WUTHERING HEIGHTS" (1992) Review

I honestly do not know what to say about "EMILY BRONTE'S WUTHERING HEIGHTS". I had heard so much about this adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel. Yet, I have never seen it in the movie theaters. In fact, it took me a long time to finally come around viewing it. When I finally saw it, the movie produced a reaction I did not expect to experience. ( Read more...Collapse )

"NORTH AND SOUTH: BOOK II" (1986) - EPISODE TWO "July 1861 - August 1862" Commentary

Episode Two began with the aftermath of Bull Run. It also featured Brett Main Hazard and Semiramis' journey to South Carolina, Orry Main's wedding to his widowed neighbor Madeline LaMotte, and Elkhannah Bent and Ashton Main Huntoon's smuggling operations. I wish I could be objective about this particular episode, but I cannot. I dislike it too much. It is one of the main reasons why I have so much difficulty with "NORTH AND SOUTH: BOOK II" in the first place. ( Read more...Collapse )

When director Brett Ratner continued to develop the idea into the movie's present story, Murphy eventually rejoined the production. ( Read more...Collapse )

"NORTHANGER ABBEY" (2007) Review

As far as I know, there have only been two screen adaptations of Jane Austen's 1817 novel, "Northanger Abbey". The first adaptation aired back in 1986. And the most recent aired on Britain's ITV network back in 2007, as part of a series of dramas called Jane Austen Season. ( Read more...Collapse )

”HANCOCK” (2008) Review

When I first learned about the premise for ”HANCOCK” - a superhero leading the life of a drunken bum – it struck me as rather original. Seventeen years later, I still feel that it is one of the original movie premises I have ever come across. ( Read more...Collapse )
