I really loved WUTHERING HEIGHTS, which is certainly a much more convoluted and ugly story than the MGM film ever imagined. I wish the film hadn't been so dark at times, which I'm sure was intentional, because I often didn't know where the hell I was. The cast was quite good and very grubby and unwashed. Miss Bronte sure makes Thomas Hardy look like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. I think I'd like to read the book now.
If only Miss Bronte could make Thomas Hardy disappear.

Great book. Much better than any of the movie versions I've seen. But tortured.

This version is really quite excellent. I very much liked the the actress playng Nelly Dean. The scene where Heathcliff returns a wealthy man after five years absence is really moving and heartbreaking. Cavanagh and the actress playing Catherine have great rapport.

First two reviews I've read of "A Minister's Wife" make me want to see the show.

I've just watched the trailer for the new remake of THE THREE MUSKETEERS, maybe my all-time favorite novel, and I don't know what I think. On the positive side, the screenplay is by the trustworthy Andrew Davies but it looks as though the film will be a 3-D "action" picture as opposed to the highly romantic, and sometimes comic, story of a young man's coming of age. The Richard Lester 2-part film is hard to beat. The last remake was so horrid that I don't think I saw more than 15 minutes of it before I returned the DVD to Netflix.

Oh, my, but that looks bad. Postmodern and cheeky with bad special effects and karate moves. time to return to Richard Lester.

Here is the news story that the paper I used to write for had about Rich Brooks. I'm so glad he was able to see one son married and to mark the occasion in his way:

Seriously need to make a habit of turning the computer on the moment I walk in the door after work, maybe that will help me focus.    Time just goes by so fast.   I get home at 7pm and need to be asleep at 10pm, it's difficult to even get my bills paid.

This incredible boy that drives me crazy gets all my time no matter what else is going on.

Thank You for all the VIBES for my mother. They seem to be working their magic again. She had a tooth extraction - well, two teeth - done last week. Once she got home, the meds she was put on caused her to bleed out a bit too much. Basically, the meds she's been on since her mitral valve replacement should have been considered when she was prescribed the meds for her dental procedure. My Dad had actually taken my Mom to the ER three times since Thursday, and the third time they decided to go ahead and admit her since she had lost too much blood. There's a slim chance she'll be released tonight, but we're all thinking that they're going to wait until the morning. In the meantime...

~~~Continued Vibes for DR Jose's Mother!!~~~
