Hurried 'Jane Eyre' Adaptation Still Shinesnew
Charlotte Bronte's 19th-century masterpiece, Jane Eyre, has already been filmed nearly 20 times for screens big and small, so what more can possibly be said about this well-worn gothic romance? Not much, apparently, but at least director Cary Fukunaga's version is superfluously good -- an elegant, classicist picture of quality with just enough sinister gloom darkening its romantic edges.

Too Many Cooksnew
If a film has two credited writers, that’s not necessarily a red flag -- but three can be a little suspect.

A Commercial Contrivancenew
Don't expect the same kind of conservative backlash that has accompanied that other gay film currently in theaters -- this film offers nothing that will shake up our social mores.
