Who has time for watching movies? I don’t! But I’ve managed to squeeze a few in — The Other Boleyn Girl on the 16th c. page (altho sadly I’ve waited a bit too long to write my review and my memory is a bit fuzzy – listen to our podcast for a clearer review!), the latest Sense & Sensibility on the Regency page, and Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day on the 20th c. page. And, as always, I’ve brought up to date the Upcoming Movies page.
Speaking of which, have you seen the trailer for Brideshead Revisited? Has anyone read the novel? I was surprised by how beefed up Emma Thompson’s role was, compared to the previous film version – is that from the novel, or just because they’d managed to snag Thompson?
I have the original Brideshead, and just love it. It looks like the new one is more focused on the mother, instead of Sebastian. But this new one looks really yummy.
