movies we've viewed: From the bestselling novel...

we love this movie! I love that Disney has created an industrious, independent princess who fell in love after getting to know her prince, not just kissing him! fun music, fun twist to the classic fairy tale!
yes, i bought it. yes, i've watched it several times. yes, i think taylor lautner's beautiful-especially once he cuts his hair. yes, i'm looking forward to edward having his eyes open more in the next movie. and yes, i still love this series.
i loved this book. it's in the category of, i can't fully recommend it to everyone because there is some sex, there is some swearing, but i loved the story. what i love more about the movie is that they took out the totally unnecessary infidelity. and yes, you will need a box of kleenex.
i have wanted to see this one for a while and waited patiently for it from the library...twice! (wasn't my fault and i shouldn't have to wait the second time but the library isn't so smart sometimes even though i love them dearly) this was funny! you have to throw out all your notions of p&p (meaning sweet hubby who is an a&e purist and only likes the original neverending one, had no interest in this) but it was cute, light, and clever! and it's worth it if you love LOST because Sayid dances around and sings! :)

Good choices - all of them.

Bride and Prejudice. Interesting twist on the classic tale. I watched some clips on YouTube and part of it in German. Quite intriguing actually. I couldn't stop laughing at the cobra dance. I gather that was Mary. LOL. How embarrassing for her sisters.
