200px-Great_expectations_ver3.jpg Friday night we watched Great Expectations (1998,R) (ScreenIt! Review). From Wikipedia:

Great Expectations is a 1998 contemporary film adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel of the same name, directed by Alfonso Cuarón and starring Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert DeNiro, Anne Bancroft and Chris Cooper. Despite its popular and respected cast of actors, the movie received mixed reviews.

I like Ethan Hawke (especially the Before... couple of films). I enjoyed this version of Great Expectations. I give it 4 out of 5.

I really like Great Expectations (probably in my top 50). Partially because of Ethan Hawke I'm sure ... I think he's a great actor and I usually respond well to his characters. I haven't been through all of your movie archives, but I assume you've seen Before Sunrise. One of our favorites.

Yep, I was referring to "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset" when I said "I like Ethan Hawke (especially the Before... couple of films)". We had free pases to see Before Sunrise in the theater when we lived in Knoxville. We went with a friend of mine from grad school (Jason Zielke, where are you know?!?) and his friend. I loved the movie...one of my favorites ever.
