Nineteenth Century

Les Miserables (1998) short review

By Kendra on April 30, 1998

Pretty bad — see the stage play/musical instead. Set in the 1810s and 1830s, possibly worth a watch if you’re REALLY into the period and want to... Read more →

The Governess (1998) short review

By Kendra on April 30, 1998

I had such HOPES for this film (I love Minnie Driver), but they just didn’t pan out! Driver plays a Jewish girl in mid-19th century England who... Read more →

Cousin Bette (1998) short review

By Kendra on April 30, 1998

This movie is another mixed bag: Elisabeth Shue is riveting and beautiful as Jenny, Kelly MacDonald is great as Hortense, and Jessica Lange really... Read more →

Basil (1998) short review

By Kendra on April 30, 1998

This is one of those movies that shows up in your local video store and you’re thinking, “Hmmm — I’ve never heard of it, which doesn’t bode... Read more →

Vanity Fair (1998) short review

By Kendra on April 29, 1998

Yet another I really tried to like but didn’t.  Natasha Little does well as Becky Sharp, but maybe it’s because she’s a somewhat unlikable... Read more →
Seventeenth Century

Frenchman’s Creek (1998) short review

By Kendra on April 29, 1998

Based on the book by Daphne du Maurier, which I obviously never read, because I had NO idea that this movie was set in the 17th century or about... Read more →
Sixteenth Century

Shakespeare in Love (1998) short review

By Kendra on April 29, 1998

Another movie I tried to love but only liked, mostly because Gwyneth Paltrow has an amazing capacity to irritate me in some films (and in others I... Read more →
Twentieth Century

Titanic (1997) short review

By Kendra on May 7, 1997

Wonderful, romantic, exciting, beautiful and at the same time cheesy, soap opera-y, and totally melodramatic.  See it anyway.  Fabulous... Read more →

Washington Square (1997) short review

By Kendra on April 30, 1997

Such a downer of a story that it’s hard to enjoy, but I will say this is a well made, well acted film. Jennifer Jason Leigh usually really... Read more →
Nineteenth Century

Oscar and Lucinda (1997) short review

By Kendra on April 30, 1997

A sad, quirky tale of love between two misfits set in Australia in probably the 1870s or 1880s (it’s been a while since I’ve seen it). Keep your... Read more →
