Hello friends,

With thanks to JP for linking this to me, I have below is Elle magazine’s review of Jane Eyre:

Hot young director Cary Fukunaga recasts Jane Eyre, getting back to what really makes the romantic masterpiece live and breathe.

A Short “Defiance” Review

May 19th, 2009 • By Tran :: Defiance, Reviews

Hello everyone,

Defiance was released out in theatres in Australia several weeks back, and last weekened I finally got around to seeing the movie. It was a lot better than I had expected! I thought it would be some plotless Hollywood action film, but no, the movie seems to be more than that. I am not a fan of Daniel Craig, but he however managed to pull off his role quite well, so kudos to him. Liev Schreiber, Jamie Bell and of course Mia were exceptional.

Mia’s role was very minor, but judging from her little scenes, she’s quite the actress.

But in a nutshell, I highly recommend the film to people who love war, drama, and action films. If you haven’t seen the film and it’s no longer available in theatres for you, then be sure to rent or purchase the DVD!
