And thanks to my Free 4 week Netflix trial I've been able to watch some Jane Austen movies I'd missed; Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and Emma.


I found these versions of Persuasion and Emma to be just ok, but I liked this Mansfield Park version better than the Hollywood version.Gabe and I have also recently watched State of Play, Run Fat Boy Run, The Four Feathers, and the first discs to season 1 of Chuck, and season 3 of Heroes. I would recommend "State of Play." We both found it entertaining. There was a bit of language, but I think that was it. We also thought "Run Fat Boy Run" was pretty darn funny. There was crude humor and language, but I couldn't stop laughing. Maybe I was just in one of those moods. "The Four Feathers" was also good. It was recommended to me based on my DVD selections on Netflix. I had never heard of it, but it ended up being a great choice (there is war violence), though I hear the book is better. We decided we'd give another disc of "Chuck" a chance since it was pretty good, but I think I'm done with "Heroes," it has kind of become like "Lost" to me...no direction, new twist and characters, new mysteries, and no sign of closure.
