The Inheritance

The Inheritance by Louissa May Alcott. This fun film is one I have never heard of before. Edith, an Italian orphan, is brought to the US and raised as the "help" as a companion to a wealthy couples daughter. Intrigue, romance, true love, love at first sight, loyalty, are all brought about in the film. A little like Anne of Green Gables meets Twilight.

Letters to Father Jacob

This Finnish film, Letters to Father Jacob, (Postia pappi Jaakobille) was seen by me, Joe, and Rebekah. Joseph mentioned he was really touched by the film. It is about a murderess who is paroled after 15 years because she is pardoned. She has no place to go and so is turned over to an elderly priest, Father Jacob, to help him read and write back to letters he receives in the mail. She learns of Christ's forgiveness and also of the redeeming power of love.

Baz Luhrmann's dazzling and unconventional adaptation of...

Liked this film that is a medern day adaptation with Old English speech. Newsreporters remark on the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues and it is easier to understand and see this way. Enjoyed it!
