A genteel, but strong willed young lady...(she was brought up in the southern part of England )...only daughter of a pastor & wife.
...has to relocate to the dirty, crowded town of Milton in Northern England because her father has fallen on hard times...
..She and her mother try to keep proper etiquette & manners, but the daughter can't help but notice the poverty and hardship around her.
She's quite kind & strong willed at the same time....
..and early on meets one of the main factory owners....a hard but handsome young man who scraped his way to the top...
..he owns a cotton mill.
It's instant dislike between these two....and so the tension begins.
The story is told well and much detail is given time, manners, clothing worn, etc.
The tension between 'Margaret' and 'Mr.Thornton' is palpable!
If you've seen Pride & Prejudice..Mr.Darcy..(Colin Firth)...
..you will LOVE John Thornton!...even more!
I so recommend this wonderful several hours long event!
Can you believe my husband found and bought this for me???!! :)
I think I will keep him :)
A Man for All Seasons..is one of my favorites and is in my home library.
With great trepidation, I accompanied my 17 yr old son to see Blades of Glory. I had heard and read awful things about this movie. Maybe, I just lowered my expectations to the point where I couldn’t be unhappy, but... I honestly thought this movie was funny. It is very quotable... John Heder was HILARIOUS in this movie. I expected nothing, and I got a lot more.
Not a rave review..... I know. But hey! I’ve seem MUCH worse. I’d call this a two margarita movie. :-)
I like the way you "rate" movies..!
I was about the same with the movie & expectations but I do like both stars & so knew it would NOT be bad.. just wasn't sure what it would be
found it much better than I expected & felt quite entertained

Dolly your thread is so gorgeous! I have not yet seen any of these films. I know my daughter will have us see Spiderman. I do have to see Amazing Grace. It’s been such a long time since I’ve gone to the movies.
Yea.. both of my sons have seen Hot Fuzz, the oldest one twice! Both say it’s really funny. I haven’t seen it yet, but.... I trust my guys! :-)
The movie I am most pumped for is Knocked Up. I saw a sneak preview and am still pumped to go back and see it again. I’m pretty sure I missed a lot of funny stuff from laughing so hard. Everyone should be aware it is from the same people who created 40 Year Old Virgin so it is pretty raunchy. If that doesn’t bother you I can’t recommend it enough.
