movie reviews that are ACTUALLY current...

SO, besides {persuasion}, my other favorite book is {jane eyre}.  i have seen so many versions and read it many times, so when this came out i was excited/scared.  excited because i love me some jane eyre.  scared because it could be really really bad.  turns out that is was really good.  so good that i would probably buy it. and even though i knew what the crazy ass ghost was, i still was a bit freaked out.  to me, that's a job well done.  it won't however, ever be able to pass up {my absolute favorite version done in 2007.}  you can't beat masterpiece theater.  (okay, maybe sometimes you can) 
i know that the characters are supposed to be plain, homely even but why oh why do they always have to make rochester so dang ugly?  in every.single.version.  i don't see him ugly at all when i read the book.  sigh.  so i was disappointed once again to have a not very attractive edward.  but then i looked him up on google and when you see pics like this

or this

well, HELLO.  why couldn't he look this hot in the movie?  sigh.  oh well. 

SO, i loved loved loved this movie.  it was very well done and brought a part of history that i don't think many people know about.  i sure didn't know half the stuff that happened when lincoln died.  in my ignorant state (thank you very much high school history) i thought all ended once booth was shot.  seems i was really really wrong.  every american should see this movie.  truly.  see it.
