ultra_ficI feel like I've been watching so many episodes of things and just boxsets of late, it was time for films this weekend! I watched three in the end, one I'd never seen before and two that I had...
Jane Eyre - I never have read the book or seen any film or mini-series version of this, but I always meant to get around to it. I ended up watching the film starring Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender, and though the acting was great, the film was not! It felt long and kind of boring in places, and my goodness, sad and depressing! I just don't think I'm a Bronte sort of person, as I never got anywhere trying to watch a mini-series of Wuthering Heights years ago either. I think I'll stick with Austen.
Saving Mr Banks - Still can't get through the ending without tears! Beautiful film though, so moving and very well done. Funny in places, painful in others. The life of PL Travers and her working relationship with Walt Disney is something to behold. I'll probably watch it several more times yet, but I doubt I'll ever not need tissues for the ending! lol
The Decoy Bride - Ah, sweet comedy. Well, I needed it after the other two :P It's so much shorter than it seems when you're watching it and there's something bizarre about David Tennant, who is natively Scottish, being the one guy doing an English accent in a film set in Scotland, but I do love it so. It's just such a weirdly sweet film :)
