P&P (2005) Characters Screen Captures

"PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" (1940) Review

There have been at least eight adaptations of "Pride and Prejudice", Jane Austen's 1813 novel. But as far as I know, only four are well known au constantly mentioned kwa many of the novelist's present-day fans. And one of the four happens to be the movie adapted in 1940 kwa Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Directed kwa Robert Z. Leonard, "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" told the story of the five unmarried daughters of a 19th century English landowner and the efforts of his shrill wife to get them married before his estate is inherited kwa a distant male cousin. For years, this version...

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."—Chapter 1, P&P

*Your relatives and Marafiki no longer think that wewe are strange for asking them to call wewe "Lizzy".

*You sing along with the...

from the Huffington Post:

I've published twenty vitabu in genres from memoir to mystery but I never thought of doing an Austen mashup until I read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

While I enjoyed Zombies at first because it was surprising and funny, eventually it started to feel like a one-note protest against all the decorous PBS Austen series and all the die-hard Austen mashabiki around the world. Dude, forget carriages and bonnets, gimme brains!

Zombies reads like graffiti, which can be ugly au beautiful depending on your point of view. wewe see that mgawanyiko, baidisha on amazon.com, where half the reviewers give...
