Last night four of my very dear friends and I decided to go to the movies and grab a bite to eat at the diner afterward. The fact that we all managed to get together on a spontaneous short-notice whim was an amazing feat in itself since the last time we tried to coordinate getting together required at least 100 emails, phone calls and 'Blackberry' text messages back and forth. Sheesh! Well, after seeing The Duchess, I can tell you that this movie does not disappoint. The costumes, scenery and the lovely Keira Knightly are enough reason to see this film. If Ralph Fiennes gave you the creeps as Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter, I will tell you that He Who Must Not Be Named has nothing over the Duke of Devonshire, who is portrayed by Fiennes in this movie. Ralph Fiennes is really good at being bad. Keira Knightly is Georgiana Spencer, The Duchess of Devonshire. She is amazing in this role. Princess Diana was a direct descendant of the Duchess and it is amazing how their lives ran parallel to each other. The movie is very beautiful but very sad. The music is hauntingly lovely. I may just buy the soundtrack to listen to on those days when I need to wallow for a bit in a good cry. But just for a bit. -CS ^..^

I saw the movie. I liked It. I love period dramas and go mainly for the costumes and scenery. I love Kiera Knightly. The costumes were beautiful! My favorite movie of hers is Pride And Prejudice. I watch It again and again, every time I see it on Television.
