**Warning: My review of Masterpiece Theater's The Ruby in the Smoke**

I just finished watching The Ruby in the Smoke on Masterpiece Theater. IT's a part of a series written by Phillip Pullman. I believe I had read the first book and wanted to continue, but apparently, I didn't get a chance to.

All I have to say is: an hour and a half for one Phillip Pullman's books is not gonna cut it. It was too short, the middle (a.k.a most important part--including plot, etc.) was rushed, the ending left us hanging. All in all, not the best it could have been. The ending was at most, anticlimatic. Not to say it wasn't interesting, riveting, and my nose glued to the screen, but...*shrug* yeah.

But Billie Piper was pretty good. Her British accent was a little different and she is twenty when Sally Lockhart is supposed to be sixteen, but she did better than I thought she would. *nod nod* I like her. The same way I though Ruth Wilson wasn't much, but she was great in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.

And I was a little...enamored by Mr. Rochester--Toby Stephens. *cough chough* Eh-hem. I'm such a romanticist. *rolls eyeballs*

off to finish my little bowl of ramen before drifting to Sleepyland,

--I added the lyrics of Julie Andrew's soprano "In My Own Little Corner" from Cinderella. It's one of my all-time favorites! Go ahead and check it out, see if you can sing along!

movies based on books aren't always good cuz they can't put everything from the book into the movie. Oh well.
k, so I was gonna comment on the other entry about ice, but you posted this one before I could; that sux that you fell and cursed! I'm sure the cursing can be excused; and I voted for you! :)

I apologize. I may partake in a viewing of the tastefully filmed productions which are based upon great works of literary art!

Ditto LostSoul's comment. Movies based on books lack the spice of the books but sometimes they do have some nice moments or something lol =P

And oh yeah, the "special fella" is Carlos. But i've calmed down. :/
