Movie Review.


The Winslow Boy, made in 1999, rated G.

This movie filmed in "play" style and set in the 1890's or early 1900's  It  is about a family who is shocked to learn that there fourteen year old son is being sent home from school  with a letter for his father from the head master, saying that the boy is being sent home because he is acused of  stealing.  The family, not willing to believe that there son is a thief, go to great lengths to give there son a fair trial. They go to a very successful lawyer. (Jaremy Northam.) Who after some consideration takes the case.

The movie, I thought was a good movie.   In the story,  there were some very humorous parts that made the movie quite fun!  And I enjoyed seeing Jaremy Northam , who I saw in one of the older  "Emma." movies.

The one that I had a complaint about was the movie was a little slow.   Also, the older sister was a part of the woman's sufferage movement and some smoking.

But as I said, it was a good story about a family ralling together to help there young boy.  The boys father was willing to risk a great deal to help his son.   And again, as I said there is some great dry English humor in there.

So, I recommend this movie with very little precaution!!  We love a good movie around here :-)!

Fall & Books.

Hello dear reader's!

Can any one believe that's it's September and that it's almost Fall? I for one can not quite grasp it yet!

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year! How  lovely the tree get, and how cool it is. So that it no longer hurts to walk out side! : )

During this time I just love to sit down with a good book and read  away! I seem to go into the world of the book and am friends with the characters that I like, and follow them through the advetures and life lessons that they go through and learn. You see you can have a grand adventure safely in your favorite reading chair  and not get in  trouble. And you can learn very important lessons with out going throughout the things that the character does.

Right now I am reading a book to my dear sister called, "The Hidden Hand." This book is full to overflowing  with mystery, abventure, and a wonderful story about a young girl in 1800's who in a long and mysterious turn  of  events is taken off the streets of New York and is abopted by a kind but gruff old gentleman.   Taken  to his big rich house full of mystery and were she has unbelievable adventures! Now I dare not say more execept  that if you love a good book with mystery and adventure with notorious outlaw's and heroic characters then I highly recomend this book that  my sister and I  are enjoying so wonderfully!
