Holiday Movie Fest

So, I have the next week off work (yay!), and will spend most of the time getting caught up on the WIP. But I also want to get caught up on movies. (I saw Young Victoria last week and loved it). What should I see next? Princess and the Frog? Avatar? Sherlock Holmes? If you've seen any of these and have an opinion, help me out! What would you recommend?

Bright Star

I finally took a break from the deadline last week to see Bright Star! What a gorgeous movie. I may have to see it again (and I know I need some new Regency gowns...)

I long to believe in immortality. . . . If I am destined to be happy with you here--how short is the longest life. I wish to believe in immortality--I wish to live with you forever.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.

I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion - I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more - I could be martyred for my religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that.

I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.

What I've Been Watching

If you're as tired as I am of the usual run-of-the-mill "romantic comedy," then run out and see this movie! Srsly, it is awesome. (see, I'm even reduced to Twitter-speak)

And the NY Times review here

Wuthering Heights--???

Is this some kind of a joke?

Ed Westwick to star in Wuthering Heights movie

I mean, yes, I love and adore Gossip Girl, and without Chuck ad Blair that show would be nothing, but --Heathcliff?

OTOH, I bet Gemma Arterton will make a good Cathy, she was terrific in the new Tess of the Durbervilles. And I'm not sure who I would cast as Heathcliff instead. You know I'll go see it. But--Chuck Bass? Hmmm.
