Sorry I haven't gotten to this sooner- I explain why in the video. And here is my fourth review for the Period Drama Challenge at Miss Laurie's blog Old-Fashioned Charm. This time, I am reviewing the period drama/ghost story/family movie From Time To Time- starring Maggie Smith.

PDC Review 2- Amazing Grace




This is my second review (first for March) for Miss Laurie's Period Drama Challenge.
This time I did Amazing Grace.
And it's not too late to participate, if you want. Just go to Miss Laurie's blog for details.

And, now, here's my review:





Enjoy! :-)

PDC February Questions



As part of Miss Laurie's Period Drama Challenge, I have tag questions to answer at the end of each month. I know I'm a few days late, but better late than never, right? ;-)


1. What period dramas have you watched in February?
I'm afraid the only thing I watched for reviewing was Season 1 of Downton Abbey.

2. How many Charles Dickens adaptations have you seen?
In total of my life? Or over the challenge? If over the challenge, then none, yet- thouugh, there shall be. In life, about nine and a half.

3. Do you prefer heroes that are spotless wealthy gentlemen or gritty hardworking men?
Hard to say.... There's a side of both that I like. It really all depends on the man, himself, but I think I do tend toward the spotless wealthy- though, I have no problem with gritty hardworking, either.

4. Do you tend to prefer heroines that are sweet and gentle or adventurous and spunky?
Why can't they be a bit of both? I like it when they have a bit of both in  them.

5. Do you enjoy listening to period drama soundtracks? Do you own any?
Yes, I do, when the music is interesting to me. I have the A&E/BBC P&P soundtrack on my computer, and some songs from North&South (especially the main theme), and, perhaps, a few others I can't think of at this moment.




Enjoy my answers, and my coming reviews for the month! :-)

Period Drama Challenge


Miss Laurie is having a period drama challenge at her blog Old-Fashioned Charm. The goal is to watch a certain amount of period dramas (there are various category amounts to pledge to) and review them on your blog between January 7 and July 7- that's 26 weeks!. The number categories she has organized are:
5 Films- Period Film Admirer
8 Films- Period Film Lover
10 Films- Period Film Devotee
12 to 15 Films- Period Film Fanatic

I, personally, have decided on 15-20 films, as I don't have much of a life (let's face it, it's true :-P ). Does that make me Period Film Obsessed? I plan to do at least one film a week, which could enable me to do the full 26, but, of course, I'm giving leeway for anything that may come up. Who knows, though, I could do up to that or more! Still, I'm only going to pledge the 15-20. If you would like to know more about everything this involves, just visit the post at Old-Fashioned Charm to get your answers. (You can also click on the button on the left side bar to get there.)

I am possibly getting a late start on this, though, just as I am on my 2013 reading list, as I am on my second flu bug in a row. :-P This has been causing me not to feel like reading or watching anything. It's amazing I actually felt up to posting this. :-P

I shall be posting a review for each TV drama, movie, or series I watch. They will probably be short and and sweet, knowing myself, but hopefully they shall be good. ;-)
And I shall be adding the name of each (as a link) to this post to create a full list.
