"It is the journey, not its end, that is what teaches."

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: At home, alone, nothin' but me and The Fluffy Kitty. No man, no phone, rain on the windowpane. Saved by "Great Expectations"!!!!
Review: One of the drawbacks of dating a cop is the occasional lonely night snuggled up with the VCR and the cat. This movie made such an evening downright enjoyable for me.

As an adaptation of the Dickens classic, Great Expectations succeeds on...

Nice, Very Nice... Someone Please Give Me Mr. Dickens' Phone Number Right Now!

Date of Review:  Oct 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: Another "modern adaptation craziness" series that makes me reach out for Prozac and a good book... Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, for example.
Review: Unconventional adaptation of Charles Dickens? Great Expectations became just another attempt to interpret classics in a new ?modern? way. Standing in line with Romeo + Juliet, Cruel Intentions, O, etc., it meets some expectations, but urges to read...

"I'm Just Going to Tell You How I Remembered It" in Cuaron's Film Adaptation

Date of Review:  May 13, 2004
The Bottom Line: While Not Up to Par with Previous Adapations, Alfonso Cuaron's Great Expectations is a Fine Film with Lush Cinematography, Soundtrack, & a Fine Supporting Cast.
Review: Charles Dickens' Great Expectations is often considered one of the greatest stories in literature. The story of a boy named Pip who encounters a convict named Magwitch as he comes to the attention of a reclusive woman named Miss Havisham as he falls...

Lesson Learned

Date of Review:  Jan 31, 2000
Review: This updated film version of the classic novel is incredible. I enjoyed it completely, but I can also understand why someone would feel differently about this movie. I rented it on my own, then re-rented it to watch with my husband. I loved it even...

Don't Expect Much

Date of Review:  May 19, 2000
Review: I wanted to see this film in the theater because I was intrigued by the trailer which had music and visuals quite different from the usual preview trash. However, the horrible reviews made me think twice. And boy, I'm glad I did. Watching a bad...

Expect Nothing, Get Nothing

Date of Review:  Jun 28, 2000
Review: The problem with having a title like "Great Expectations" is that the when the film fails utterly...there is just too much irony involved!

I'm not one of those people that feels that a film-from-book should necessarily be obedient to the...

QUITE A TWIST ON DICKENS

Date of Review:  Feb 28, 2000
Review: Gotta admit I didn't even watch this movie when it was on HBO, but the other night with nothing to do I gave it a shot. I mean it is Dickens for Gods sake and I had my share of that in school. What a nice surprise.

Anne Bancroft, as the...

Paintings and Heartbreak

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2000
Review: Great Expectations (1998) is an interesting and emotionally charged film. Brought into modern times, Dickens' basic storyline and morals prevail in this latest screen adaptation.

In all of the ways that this film succeeds, however, it also...

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: this is a wonderfully beautiful movie. words can't really give it justice though, so just go out and see it.
Review: Great Expectations was a beautiful movie. I liked it more than the book. It reminded me of my own first kisses, and how much surprise was there, and how much feeling. Unlike most movies, it really captured the emotions involved and the beauty of...
