I guess I must have watched this before joining this site, so this review isn’t fresh, but I think I can do it anyway. You certainly forget a lot of what’s in the Bible when you think that Dickens wrote it, you know. (You’re defs NOT supposed to think that Shakespeare wrote it—Dickens, that’s the stereotype!) Anyway, it was kinda a fun movie—tough rough guy; pretty, manipulative girl. I remember it as being sorta mi” read more
