What genre have you read most this year?Ĭontemporary What genre have you read least this year? The whole Red Rising trilogy is amazing, but this one is my favorite of the three. Golden Son (Red Rising #2) by Pierce Brown. Though this is a YA book, I WOULD NOT recommend it for YA readers. I’m kind of eager to read the next book (out later this month). This is definitely not the type of book I usually like, but it was a super addicting read. I’m currently not reading anything, but my next read will either be This Adventure Endsby Emma Mills, which I just got approved from NetGalley for (I’m so excited!) or The Problem with Foreverby JLA, which I just got from the library (finally!)

Pride & Prejudice starring Keira Knightley (Widescreen) (Languages & Subtitles: English, Spanish, French) - Emma starring Gwyneth Paltrow (Widescreen). While it can't quite top the BBC version, all that work and care certainly paid off. While I know that some felt like this movie cheapened Pride and Prejudice by making it more mainstream, it seems that everyone from director Joe Wright to the many actors cared deeply about making this iteration as perfect as possible. In addition to this problem that ended up not being a real problem, a lot of things happened behind the scenes of Pride and Prejudice that I had no idea about.Ī lot goes into making a period piece, and it's impressive how much detail and reverence for the source material went into this film. The film is based on Austens 1811 eponymous novel, and stars Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet as sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood respectively. Directed by Joe Wright written by Deborah Moggach, based on the novel. Sense and Sensibility is a 1995 period drama directed by Ang Lee, who is best recognized for directing Life Of Pi and the 2003 Hulk. Some facts about Pride and Prejudiceare well known I remember that the movie was slightly controversial when it first came out, mostly because some purists were annoyed that the beautiful it girl of the day was cast as their beloved Elizabeth. Pride & Prejudice Opens today in New York, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Connecticut and Westchester County, and on Long Island. Pride and Prejudice (the Keira Knightley version) came out ten years ago, so it looks like I've been listening to the soundtrack nonstop for a decade. The two begin to circle each other once again, but they always end up straying until it becomes a necessity that they don’t.

If You Like Sally Rooney Books, You’ll Love…Ĭonversations with Friends focuses on a young woman named Frances who is somewhat pursuing a writing career in Dublin. There have been more misses than hits when Hollywood adapts what it thinks could be instant box office gold with its fountain of Asian content, and since there have been only a limited number of successful Asian horror releases in recent years, it had looked inwards and cannibalized on remaking its own shock/slasher films. After all, Kim Ji-woon's film is one of Korea's top box office draws when released. But if a remake is any indication of how the original is generally miles better, especially if done by Hollywood, hen it probably is worth my while to put the Korean horror movie in my to-watch list. I haven't seen the original Tale of Two Sisters by Kim Ji-woon to begin with so I won't be able to do any meaningful comparisons. It is a strange mix between Raised by Wolves Series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes meets the TV show Nine Lives of Chloe King. but Yeeeh for me because this is a great series! I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Yeez what a rush, This book was not on my list and read the wrong one ! Really stoupid.
