Last night my boys were off doing "guy" things; and so I decided that all of us girls left at home should do something fun ourselves. I made a run into town for a fun meal that I didn't have to make (Sonics); but then I was left with the decision of which movie to watch. We have a few that we have been wanting to see, but just haven't had the time. After pondering the situation for a few minutes, I chose a Jane Austen movie. In my mind one can never go wrong with Jane Austen. She is one of my all-time favorite authors, but more on that in another post. I opted for
Masterpiece Theatre: Northanger Abbey
. I haven't seen this movie before, and it has been a while since I read the book. The movie was good, and I would watch it again; however, I do plan on pulling my copy of the book off of the shelf to read once again, because I know that an 86 minute movie can in no way do justice to the actual work itself.
". I hadn't heard of it before, and so after reading a description, thought it would make a good birthday gift for one of my daughters. I just have to say that this is a delightful movie. It is rather lengthy; but with our extremely rainy spring, we have managed to watch it over a short period of time. All three of us that watched it enjoyed it immensely. The story line is intriguing, and the costumes are beautiful. I have even placed it in my mental storage of movies to watch again and again. So if you are looking for something new to watch, and haven't seen this yet, I highly recommend it.
