About the blog:

Well, hello! Thanks for stopping by to read my opinions about movies that I see. Some are older and most are new. Some I go to see in the theaters (both live performances and movies) and some I watch from the comfort of my own couch and even more, I will watch from the amazing Netflix app. Of course, these will be my personal thoughts about the targeted item, however, it will give you an idea of whether it's a colossal waste of time or worth a shot!

MY REVIEW
This movie did not let me down! This was a birthday present to myself. I decided that since I was off, I would go enjoy a movie-- ALONE! If you go into this with the knowledge that this will NOT be Gone with the Wind or some other classical great, you'll be fine. Seriously, Pride and Prejudice was a go-to for me when I was a teenager. Love this book. Then Pride and Prejudice AND Zombies happened to my life!

What I DID LIKE about this movie:
  • Plot and Storytelling- There was so much more to the movie with excellent storytelling and a very well-developed plot that was just different enough from the book to keep you entertained.
  • Production quality of the costuming and set design was amazing for a movie like this. Excellent attention to detail with the wardrobe and I have to give credit to the vocal coach who helped this cast get prepared for this!
What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:
  • There were definitely parts that I had to shake my head at that were very near the line for me with over the top drama and ridiculousness, but those were not NEARLY enough to make me feel that I had not gotten my money's worth!



On a more personal note..... Since yesterday was my birthday, I have two new gifts to show!~ Terry installed a tv in the kitchen so I could watch NETFLIX while I am cooking! He also bought a pressure cooker for me! Looking forward to some great things coming out of this guy! Finally, Baby Dexter Morgan hung out with me on the couch! Live this boy!!
