Welcome!

Thanks for visiting this blog, This is where I try to give accurate reviews on movies and books that I have read or watched.

Movies can be a lot fun to watch with family and friends. However I believe that we should not just watch a movie for entertainment sake, but that as Christians we should try to focus any film through a biblical world-view.

So as I review movies I'll consider; Is it worth "The Second Take?"

Sense and Sensibility [2008]

-Watch Trailer  
The family of a recently widowed lady loses their fortune and has to leave their family home.  And the two eldest girls find themselves hard pressed to marry the men they love due to their lose of fortune.   Besides are the men really what they seem?

Screen writer Andrew Davies [Who has to be my favorite] did this movie excellently.  The actors and actress' play their characters convincingly and the scenery is beautiful.

I liked the older version of this movie before, but the acting and screen play in this movie was the deciding factor in this version.
The first scene is one that you will probably want to skip and was unnecessary which is the downer to this movie. The guys [who might watch] will love the sword fight/dual between two of the main characters. 

So over all I give 'Sense and Sensibility' 3 1/2 stars.    Worth The Second Take.
