After that they showed their age leaving movies like Drive and 50/50 off the ballots. Meanwhile love them or hate them movies like Tree of Life and Extremely … more

Jane Eyre is such a common name in movie history. So many adaptations of the novel have been made and so many different portrayals of this troubled character but this is a tremendous result concerning both the accuracy and the execution of the story. This film is a cinematic piece that feels like a novel. It's lovely, peaceful, thoughtful but most of all silent. By silence … more

Star Rating: It is perhaps a sign of the times that this new adaptation of Jane Eyre is a triumph of craftsmanship and ambiance. Today’s audiences are accustomed to spectacle – look at the box office returns of the Transformers films or Tron: Legacy and tell me I’m wrong. What director Cary Fukunaga does so well this film is play up the atmosphere … more

Reading this book has moved me to the extent of remembering the conversations of the main characters. There is something remarkable about this story; it kept me amazed on how their lives and the ones closed to them were connected. I am very convinced that it’s a must-read book.
