Extreme Measures (2009)
shocker of an ending!
I found this short film on youtube as a suggestion, and i am SO glad i watched it! After a major downer of a weekend (yeah, i got stood up on a date saturday night), i indulged in anything i could find on youtube in the way of abandonment, revenge, men gagged and in bondage, etc... you get my drift. Although some films were definitely gruesome and not what i was looking for, others actually offered something of a stress relief with a happy ending.
Then i clicked on this film, and was riveted since it was so dark and intense, and i'd never seen any of the actors before (but i'm a semi-luddite, so that's no shocker). The handsome bearded captive is in definite danger, and it seems to be getting worse for him.
Then came the ending that made it all worthwhile! I'll be watching this one repeatedly, and sharing it with friends!
Emma (1996)
enjoyable film
i have a copy of this version as well as kate beckinsale's version, and enjoy them for different reasons. for those who wondered what mr. knightly's first name is, it's george. it's clearly marked on the embroidered globe at the very beginning. and for the person who thought jeremy northam was too short for the role, northam is 6'2". the reason he doesn't look that tall is because gwyneth paltrow is 5'9-1/2".
