for months i've been seeing sense and sensibility playing on the movie channels and i always said, "i'll watch it someday..." but never did. well since it was showing last night and i've lately been in this heavy jane austen mood (emma is currently my before-bed read), i decided to watch and i'm so glad i did. kate winslet & emma thompson are amazing as the totally-opposite yet totally-lovely dashwood sisters looking for love in their own ways. even hugh grant was not-so ickily charming as their horrid sister-in-law's younger brother. with a hilarious supporting cast, a gorgeous late 18th century british country setting, and the typically careful direction by meditative genius ang lee, this mid-90's gem taught me so much about life: what you can get away with, and what you can't.
