This along with North & Southand Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite movies/miniseries of all time. I love the acting, the scenery and the script is very close to the book as any movie I have seen.
A masterpiece by Masterpiece Theatre. A sweet story about an orphan who worms her way into the heart of a town and her aunt. Georgina Terry plays the title role as the loveable Pollyanna who bring sunshine to everyone's life by having them participating in her "Glad game". Great acting, scenery, script and storyline. Nothing objectionable.....hard to say about most movies.
A very nice adaption of Jane Austen's Emma. The acting is superb. If they had developed Frank Churchill's character better as in the A&E version....this would have been perfect.
This is a great adaption of Jane Austen's novel. While there are only a few lines from the actual book, I think Emma Thompson did a great job of catching the atmosphere of the book in the movie.
Before he became famous as "Harry Potter", Daniel Radcliffe plays an adorable young David Copperfield. Along with Maggie Smith and some other great actors David Copperfield jumped from the pages of Charles Dicken's book and came to life. I thoroughly enjoyed Masterpiece Theatre's adaption of "David Copperfield"
I was actually very pleased with the movie because I had my misgiving about it and the books because of the one "Meet Felicity" book I read that had a situation where "the ends justified the means".
I really enjoyed the movie because it showed Felicity going from a strong headed child to becoming an obedient, responsible young lady.
Based on the books by C. S. Forrester, Hornblower: The Even Chance aka Hornblower: The Duel is the first of eight movies put out by A&E. A very well done drama about the British navy during the early 1800's.
The first time I saw this movie I had mixed feelings about it because it wasnt as close to the book as I thought it could be, but it stands alone on its own merits and ever since the second time I was truly able to sit back and enjoy it.
A great adaption of Roald Dahl's book. While Willie Wonka was not quite the character described in the book, I did enjoy Johnny Depp's version of him, especially with the keys during the Veronica & the Squirrels scene. I found this movie to be a great improvement over "Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory". I believe this one to be much truer to the book.
A nice light version of P&P. It does have it's flaws. I really like Keira Knightly as Elizabeth and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr. Darcy, but prefer the 1995 A&E miniseries, but this works as a quick fix.
While not quite like the book by Janette Oke, this movie is a sweet story about a bride who comes west only to become a widow and then wife of a man she hardly knows. I really enjoyed this film.
I appreciate the efford that Michael Landon Jr. has made in making wholesome family films, but I have been disappointed with the "Love comes Softly" series in that they have strayed far from the original story line of the books. This is not the case in "The Last Sin Eater". While the plot has been simplified it has stayed true to the book. I thought the actors did a good job and has that satisfied feeling when finished watching. Oh and it is not afraid to mention the name of "Jesus"
