To think that I always believed Laurence Olivier to be the ideal Maxim. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine anyone topping him. But Jeremy Brett surpassed him far beyond my expectations. He took the role of Maxim and literally made it his own. I've never thought of Jeremy as an actor. I've always seen him as Holmes. This was refreshing and gave me a new perspective on his remarkably diverse talents as a performer. Truly, this film is perfect, absolutely perfect, from beginning to end. Where has it been all my life!? Now to impatiently wait for it to be released on DVD. Unfortunately, that could be another lifetime in and of itself.

Let's face it, it's tough to write a screenplay for a novel as intricately woven as "Inkheart." Some scenes were cut that should have been included and some sections were changed entirely. But isn't it the characters that count? Their development and how true they are to the original work? In that regard, this movie is amazing! Everyone, except for perhaps Basta, was exactly as I pictured, with star performances by the leading cast. Watching Dustfinger blow fire into his fingertips and listening to Mo's voice while he reads treasure from "Arabian Nights?" It sent shivers up my spine to actually be watching one of my favorite books come alive on screen. And honestly, if we don't give this movie a chance than we're squashing any hopes of ever seeing "Inkdeath" on the big screen. Come on people, give "Inkheart" a chance!

I have become quite fond of Laurence Olivier in the past few weeks, and was thrilled when I discovered this gem. I have always found it wonderful when I run across a film where I do not have to have my finger on the remote control in case nudity rears its ugly head.

The Divorce of Lady X is charming till the final scene, and must have been a true delight for viewers back in 1938. I only wish people today could accept and love true humor instead of the horrid trash talk people now call funny.

The Divorce of Lady X is well worth anyone's time.
