"HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - Part II" (2011) Review




"HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - Part II" (2011) Review

"SAVING MR. BANKS" (2013) Review

"SHIFTING HEIRS AND THE FERRARS ESTATE"

I have been a fan of Jane Austen's 1811 novel, "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY" ever since I saw Ang Lee's 1995 adaptation. In fact, the 1995 movie initiated my appreciation of Austen's novel and other works.
