Who # 5

Charlotte, and Caroline?? Of the characters below i think their are some facial likeness that make them sort of resemble, but other ways that make them totally different. I have not seen very many movies with 1995 actress Anna Chancellor who plays Caroline, nor Lucy Scott who plays Charlotte Lucas. But i have seen 2005 actress Claudia Blakley who plays Charlotte in a few movies, and i like her.
Charlotte is a really nice person and i thought that she deserved more than Collins, but in the 2005 version i think they made an almost a good couple if Collins were not so... Collins. I think every one can see that Mary liked him.
I think Caroline is a main part of the story because she sort of helps with the convincing her brother to move away from Jane and never tells him that Jane was in London. But other wise i just think she was confused and i won't go deeper than that.

Little Dorrit~

I really loved this movie and found it just almost my favorite movie. I loved the characters and even though i ahead of time knew the basic mystery (from reading the plot summary, which is not always a good thing to do) i still found little questions and mystery's popping up. I give this all five stars out of five. Loved it~

Sonnet 31

Thy bosom is endeared with all hearts

Which I, by lacking, have supposed dead;

And there reigns love, and all love's loving parts,

And all those friends which i thought buried.

How many a holy and obsequious tear

Hath dear religious love stol'n from mine eye

As interest of the dead, which now appear

But things removed that hidden in thee lie.

Thou art the grave where buried love doth live,

Hung with the trophies of my lovers gone,

Who all their parts of me to thee did give;

That due of many now is thine alone.

Their images I loved I view in thee,

And thou, all they, hast all the all of me.

ARWAV, By E.M Forster

The Movie was like the novel, but unlike the older version it had changes and went a bit faster. I can see why, because to fit in a hour or so of a novel can be hard, but i believe that they pulled it off. The characters were not as built up as in the novel but they were very comical. It is a quick passed movie and it was good. I very much liked the actors picked for the parts and thought they did a nice job and i liked the wonderful costumes. It was not my absolute favorite but it was entertaining and very well done. And also a bit sad, the way they altered the ending.... I never knew that they could do that...

Who #4

Now for the Marys and Collins, i put them together because they are both socially awkward. I personally like Mary in the 2005 version. She is not portrayed as ugly, but plain. She does not want to be anything but plain. I like her and i don't think Austen would have made her exactly so ugly as every one thinks. And for the Collins, i like the 2005 actor Tom Hollander (Wives and daughters, Pirates of the Caribbean 2-3), he has played some really geeky roles and the flip side of that. But in the 1995 both parts do give off a fair share of laughs.

Some pictures From the Filming of 'Emma'

I really think it will be very good and the actors will be very versatile. For the majority they always are.

Sonnet 16

(Continuing form Sonnet 15)

But Wherefore do not you a mightier way

Make war upon this bloody tyrant,

time,

And fortify yourself in your decay

With means more blessed than my barren rhyme?

Now stand you on the top of happy hours,

And many maiden gardens, yet unset,

With virtuous wish would bear

your living flowers,

Much liker than your painted

counterfeit.

So should the lines of life that life repair

Which this time's pencil or my pupil pen

Neither in inward worth nor outward fair

Can make you live yourself in eyes of men.

To give away yourself keeps yourself still,

And you must live, drawn

by your own sweet skill.

Who #3

Now for the Younger sisters- 2005 Lydia And Kitty actresses i have seen in a few other films. I really thought it was interesting that for the 2005 version Lydia (Jena Malone, who played in Cold Mountain and Step mom) is a American actress, and i think she did a great job in Pride and Prejudice. And i like Carey Mulligan who played Kitty. (who played in Northanger Abbey, My boy Jack, And "Blink") In the 1995 adaption their were things that i thought were different but other wise they also did a good job. Lydia ( Julia Sawalha who played in Cranford as Jesse Brown) and Kitty (Polly Maberly) played well of each other. For both versions the characters had their own display on telling the story and had to play unusual people-

Alice in WonderLand (2010)

(March 5, 2010) Alice in Wonderland based on the novel by Lewis Carroll and is about the adventures of a young girl named Alice, who falls into a magical world full of strange characters and darkness behind every corner. (As i understand everyone knows the story, whether they have read the book, watched the movie or just heard of it this moment.) I believe it will have a different view on things, the same story but a different way to tell it. I have seen the the 1999 version and i grew up watching the 1951 Walt Disney movie so i really am excited to see this one. The Cast i really can't wait to see is Johnny Depp, Stephen Fry, Anne Hathaway, and Helena Bonham Carter, but also the other cast members are defiantly a right match.

Alice in Wonderland was my first and last play i did. I was at least 8 and i had a small role as a ouster. It was fun.

Mia Wasikowska as Alice

Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter

Crispin Glover as The Knave of Hearts

Christopher Lee as The Jabberwock

Anne Hathaway as The White Queen

Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen

Matt Lucas as Tweedledee/Tweedledum

Michael Sheen as The White Rabbit

Alan Rickman as The Caterpillar








Very excited-
