But if you don't that also okay with me.<br /><br />The 'Bleak House' you refer to was a TV series of 2005 which I did, actually (and very unusually) watch, though I haven't reviewed any TV in my blog - so far.<br />I do recall being disappointed that this particular one omitted completely all the humour of Dickens, of which there's plenty on the written page, and concentrated on the 'bleak' of the title. But that's my general complaint of most Dickens adaptations. <br />That said, I did quite like the casting, and Ms Anderson did glow here as she usually does.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-58606618917742368592015-05-17T13:11:20.230-07:002015-05-17T13:11:20.230-07:00Ray,

I find such soundtracks distracting and not at all enhancing the film. BTW, I have "Far From the Maddening Crowd" in my Netflix queue. Thank you! <br />How about "Bleak House" with Gillian Anderson? Have you reviewed that movie?<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-32078586753634743242015-05-16T02:41:08.595-07:002015-05-16T02:41:08.595-07:00Actually, was going to give it a miss, Dr Spo.

SassyBear, perhaps?<br />Now you've put me in a quandary.

Those who haven't seen that 1975 film, or who did see it and didn't share my admiration, could well think higher of 'Falling'. <br /><br />Glad you agreed about 'Crowd'. It's a major addition to successfully filmed famed novels.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-66090071963282012622015-05-07T08:13:54.043-07:002015-05-07T08:13:54.043-07:00I want to see this one......i was intrigued when i...I want to see this one......i was intrigued when i first heard about it<br />Absolutely LOVED madding crowd btwJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-53495284005996546532015-05-07T06:54:24.773-07:002015-05-07T06:54:24.773-07:00Sol, I'd heard that Maisie Williams was in ...Sol, I'd heard that Maisie Williams was in 'Thrones', though it's one of many TV progs I've not seen, not being a great telly watcher.<br />I don't think it'll lose much by being on TV. There were a few impressive scenes by a lake with a significant tree beside it but they're not key to enjoying the film. They won't help when you're asking yourself "What the hell's going on?", 'cos that's left up in the air.<br /><br />I'm fine thanks, as I hope you are. You seem to be. Thanks for what you say about my film blogs, even though it's unjustified..;-)Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-4807910087113357342015-05-07T05:23:46.205-07:002015-05-07T05:23:46.205-07:00I think this will have people watching it because ...I think this will have people watching it because of the girl in the top right of the picture being one of the actors in Game of Thrones. I saw her coming out of a dance studio in Bath one day, (bedraggled from working out).<br /><br />I think I will wait till it is on the TV. But as always Ray you are so in depth with the visuals and descriptions I will wait for it.<br /><br />Hope you are well. I am just getting around to peoples blogs to commentSolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.com
