New Banners!

Elegance of Fashion (find her blog here) has recently created some more wonderful banners! These first ones are my favorites, since they're from some of my favorite movies. :) Oh, and you can click on the banners to see them larger. For those of you (though I doubt there are many) who don't recognize it, it's Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice, and then Elizabeth and Darcy.

Then one from Emma. (Love the movie...)



She also made one of Sherlock Holmes. I haven't seen the movies, but the books are very good.

The next new one is from Oliver Twist. I haven't seen the movie either (though I once tried to read the book) but for some reason I really like it. Maybe it's the colors...I'm not sure. But any way you look at it, Elegance of Fashion is great at making these!

Now please, remember to check out Elegance of Fashion's blog!

Movie: Emma

My rating on a 1-10 scale: 10

Genre: Romance

Primary actors: Romola Garai, Johnny Lee Miller, Michael Gambon

Based on: Emma by Jane Austen

Time period: 1800's

Quote(s): There are many quotable lines in here, but I'm unable to recall any at the moment. :(

Year it came out: 2009

My overall opinion: My rating shows...I love this movie! Saw it three times in a row. :) It's definitely worth every minute you spend watching it. About four hours long! But it's so totally worth it. You're guaranteed to love it if you enjoy reading Jane Austen's book and/or watching the movies of them. :) This one follows the book quite closely. Highly recommended! Oh, also, the soundtrack? I don't have the CD, but I LOVE the music! SO beautiful. :)

Love that scene, and the dance music. :)
