March 1st

It's March 1st! The beginning of a new month! Wow the month has gone away so fast, it almost feels like I'm just dreaming. But of course I'm not, even though i do have a very vivid imagination. Well today's picture isn't very lovely or enchanting but more of a mystical and haunting scene. I like it though, i looks cool. Very mysterious and all! And i haven't forgotten today is my fictional character that begins with a M for March. This time it was a little more difficult but i think i got two characters that begin with M, how about Miss. Mary Crawford of Mansfield Park written by Jane Austen and then i have another one a Miss. Mary Bennett of Pride and Prejudice also written by Jane Austen. Do you have any other M names??? Any would be cool! Well this month should be fun, i know Alice in Wonderland is coming out in theaters soon and can't wait. Feels like i have been waiting for years and i am so very excited. Every time i see a preview i smile, its weird but it happens. Now all i have to is convince my friend Lain to want to see it. It might take a little bit longer but i think i can change her.

Okay well, i should be going I'm very sleepy and can't wait to hit my bed!

BOstan!

The 39 Steps

The 39 Steps has now played. My review: I thought it was very good, i personally really liked and enjoyed it. It was different from what Masterpiece was showing for the begining of their season. I thought Rupert Penry-Jones was very good in this role, and i thought it suited after showing him in Persuasion. I loved the scenery and thought they did very good on the settings and castles. Loved it really!! Even my brother who is not much into these sorts of things liked it a lot. It had a lot of action and adventure and was not too long and tiresome, it was i think the right amount of running time. I Found it a good watch and i am actually interested very much in reading the book soon.

Thank you and you can watch this movie online from March 1st -30th On the PBS Masterpiece website. Here's the link - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/steps/index.html

Thank you Bostan~

Next On Masterpiece-

Next- on PBS Masterpiece Classic hosted by Laura Linney will be The 39 Steps, starring Rupert Penry Jones. It is to play in two episodes for 90 min, on February 27 or on February 28. That is for episode 1. (Check y0ur local listing for exact time and day. Click on the picture on the right hand side for more info.)
The Plot is:

Newly returned to England on the eve of World War I, Richard Hannay's (Rupert Penry-Jones, Persuasion) listless London life is about to spiral out of control. When a neighbor bursts in with a top-secret notebook full of cryptic codes and a frantic story of an impending assassination, unlikely patriot Hannay is soon on the run to save himself and his country. He bumps into feisty suffragette Victoria Sinclair (Lydia Leonard), and while their fates may be intertwined, their personalities aren't. But like it or not, they'll together navigate murder, betrayal and near death in order to untangle a plot of national importance, and understand the charms and challenges of human nature. A bracing and romantic thriller, The 39 Steps is based on the novel by John Buchan.

Don't miss it!

Persuasion

I love to watch Persuasion, it is just a really great movie. The acting, the settings, and the story all bring together a nice and entertaining film. It is one of my favorite storys by Jane Austen and i think they did a wonderful job with it. Well now that that is done we have our next film on Masterpiece - info in the next post.

Emma

I just finished reading Emma written by Jane Austen. It was a great read and i recommend it to anyone and everyone. It really is worth the read and those who have read it know it well. I thought it was just inspirationally written. I always love how Austen's books are written, with such beautiful and large words that make you think. After reading her work you look and see how much we have lost in the art of speaking and writing. We are now so much more simple and use a lot of the same words to express something instead of expanding ourselves and using more of our better vocabulary.

But i loved always how Jane Austen used a lot of realistic characters that we see all around us, so we really can sympathize and relate to a lot of the situations that connect all of life. I just really enjoyed it and recommend you to read it if you can and want to.

Thanks BOstan~

Robin Hood

Ok the day is coming closer to when Robin Hood will be out in the cinemas. I am beyond excited. Two movies that i am dying to see this year is Alice in Wonderland and Robin Hood.
Now i just wanted to talk about the characters, who will be in it and who they will be playing. They are very interesting and i can't wait to see how it is done. It will be interesting and so far that is all i can say for now. I hope it will be brilliant!

Well as we all must know Russell Crowe will be playing the legendary Robin. That i must say is what i am most curious to see. My favorite Robin hood so far has been played by Jonas Armstrong who plays in the BBC series. But I think they both have the robin hood look, but i do think that Russell Crowe is a bit older than i had thought they would go for. But i don't really think that would be really a bad thing. It will just be different. As seen in the previews their looks like a lot of action and i can't wait!

Now Their is Maid Marian who is played by Cate Blanchett. Again so far my favorite Marian is Lucy Griffiths who is also in the series. But i really can't wait to see how Cate Blanchett will do as the character.
Mark Strong will play Sir Godfrey. I think that fits perfectly, he did a great job in Sherlock Holmes and i can just picture it.
Now Matthew Macfadyen surprising me very much is the Sheriff of Nothingham. Wow, this will be good. I can't picture it right now, but i think it will be a very different role for him and i really want to see him in it.
I won't go on thorough all of the actors and characters because their are a lot but i just wanted to mention what i thought of it. And some other characters will be:
Little John
King Richard
Friar Tuck
Will Scarlet
Prince John
Eleanor of Aquitaine
Princess Isabella
Allan A'Dayle


Can't Wait!!!!!!!!
