Pride & Prejudice

I’m sonot into girly movies. Seriously – chic flicks, especially romantic comedies, are just not of interest to me. Sappy love stories I can usually tolerate (I liked Shakespeare in Love!), but I’m not going to go out of my way to see them.

However, seeing as Mom and I were the only ones home on this Monday holiday (Patriot's Day, aka Marathon Monday), it only seemed fitting that I netflix something appropriate for the occasion. Thus, we found ourselves watching the new Pride and Prejudice, with beautiful Keira Knightly.

She was definitely good. She is beautiful, and she is fun – hell, she played a main role in the funnest movie EVER (which is, of course, Pirates of the Caribbean – can you wait for July?! I can’t!). The movie itself was interesting, gripping, moving, etc… or some combination that made the lengthy flick pass quickly. Or, at least, a hell of a lot faster than the novel. And let me tell you – it certainly made you want to fall in love with that Mr. Darcy.

Anyways, that’s my brief movie review for the moment. I’m off to dream about falling in love with some romantic man who will sweep me off my feet…

Of course, I have to write this entry with a disclaimer. For all the romanticizing and dreaming about true love that – did, she never found it herself – she never got married. Ever. Talk about irony. Depressing, isn’t it?
