We had the worst movie night last night. Dont get me wrong here, I love love love the classic books. I am a big Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, etc. fans. Sooo we got the latest adaption of Jane Eyre. I like that book. Every movie I've seen of it has been a little dull, but not bad. THIS one however, made by a Cory Fukanaga...is in true japanese style. There is 10% dialogue and 90% watching Jane mull things over and looking at her face while she just stands there not answering questions from the other characters. I heard that this version really delved into the Gothic, psychological part of Janes mind. From this perspective we find out that she is retarded. Plus it was like the writers took the cliff notes and made a movie about it.
We watched the 4th Pirates as well...they are milking that story so much. Johnny depp didnt even seem in character for most of it and the scenes were just a hodge podge of ideas. Was weird. It got better towards the end, but I wouldnt reccomend it.
Ok im being summoned to go cuddle and help Peepers watch a movie so I have to go - i'll be back later.
